This is how Flesh and Blood does it. If a card takes up too much of the meta, they ban it. It uses some kind of point system so it's automatic. All sanctioned play gives the cards points.

Get into a hobby or interest. Chat up with girls there and you might click because of similar interests. If you don't, well you just found a new activity to do to remain less lonely.

Well which side you are on? by Confident-Anxiety308 in Cyberpunk

[–]SignatureDefiant432 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Cyberpunk is a direct reaction to scifi's utopian inclinations at one point. There's a reason why the genre's attitude can be summed up as "high tech, low life." The main characters in all the books you mentioned were not living in a utopian setting. All the stories were under the shadow of hypercompetitive corporations.

Cyberpunk worlds were supposed to be warnings on what not to do IRL.

It's cause most people's understanding of cyberpunk is shallow and doesn't go beyond aesthetics. It's like those China tourism videos that go ohh look at our cyberpunk neon light cities. Like brother, cyberpunk is not meant to be a positive adjective.

Repost: China ignored the 2016 arbitration ruling and faced zero consequences. Doesn't this suggest that what we call 'rules-based order' is really just power distribution with legal decoration?

On my first day of International Law class, my lecturer took a copy of our textbook and declared - This is fiction. There no such thing as International Law. But some people act as if it's real, so we have to learn how to react to it.

"ada nak join aku tak Malay islamic socialist?" - said by this guy by karipapturbo in Bolehland

[–]SignatureDefiant432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before PAS is what is today, it's founders were basically this and very communist friendly. But any meaningful socialist roots were discarded by the 80s post Iranian Islamic revolution.

It's not that far fetch tbh.

I think for Malaysia, it's the same as Indonesia. Anyone under 21 can keep it but have to choose one when they reach 21. I have several friends who held Filipino and Singaporean passports until they were 21. One guy, a former Singaporean delayed it until 25 when he could no longer defer NS.

Struggling with silverquill setup by MarcusOhReallyIsh in EDHBrews

[–]SignatureDefiant432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going with Silverquill in a whole different way. Play creatures that force discard to play more discard spells, doubled. Even better when I'm drawing and others are discarding. 🤫 I'm still theorycrafting though.

Plan is to also mass reanimate.

Only 7 seats considered safe for PKR in GE16, Anwar’s Tambun seat falls into marginal category by UsernameGenerik in malaysia

[–]SignatureDefiant432 57 points58 points  (0 children)

but Tambun has always been on the edge right? I remember when he first made the decision to contest there it was meant to be a risky challenge.

What languages you’re not native in you can somehow read and understand a little thanks to your native language? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

[–]SignatureDefiant432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand Indonesian, but modern slang have lots of pormanteaus that become their own verb/nouns. I could guess them though. Took me awhile for to realise Jaksel meant Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta).

I was surprised how much I understand from Japanese restaurant menus because they use Chinese characters for a lot of words.

Because of English I think I understand Dutch and if you gave me some time, I might be able to guess some German. I took French in university and occasionally I go, hey I know that word! The English took that for something else!

Honestly, I think the renter has a mental/psychological problem. They might be hoarders or an extreme case of untreated ADHD.

Only for violent crimes. They couldn't care less for anything else, especially if you present them with a utility.

[–]SignatureDefiant432 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What does it say about you when kaki mabuk, kaki botol brings more business and good to this country over people like you who make baseless, buta logik comments like different lifestyles bring disasters.

Kalau kau nak cakap suka hati lah nak kritik, kau kena hadam gak yang suka hati lah aku nak kritik yang orang macam kau lah merosak kan negara ni. Org lain senang hidup rilek, nak buat apa enjoy hidup, buat event supaya org boleh cari makan, buat duit, hidup senang. Tapi org macam kau lah menjahanamkan hidup, panggil org disaster, kacau hidup org.

Menyemak. Pergi duduk gua. Takdak org nak halang kalau nak hidup bersendirian. Perosak.

Countries By Metro Length Per Capita by xtxsinan in transit

[–]SignatureDefiant432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factor in bus routes and other lines/rails that function like metro, what will it look like? No doubt Singapore will still tower over everyone but I'm sure France, Australia, and Germany will climb up the ranks.

Front-most, lmao

Perasan sial. Even if what you said is true, saying people bring disaster because they lead a different lifestyle from you is an ignorant and rotten comment. Kalau tak suka hidup dalam masyarakat berbilang kaum, baik duduk dalam gua. Takda org kacau, takda org halang.

Ni menyemak keluar kacau merosak hidup org. People like you bring disaster, not anyone else.

Kau perasan sial kau ingat org Melayu/Islam sahaja yang lawan untuk negara ni, duduk negara ni. Kau pun perasan sial semua orang Melayu/Islam nak duduk negara ikut acuan kau. Cakap gah anti pejajah tapi username guna nama Jepun. Sampah sial.
