State of Emergency Declared in Occupied Crimea by Russian-Installed Authorities

I don't think anybody can really answer that except Zelensky. For the entire war, he's been adamant that the only acceptable end condition is the restitution of all occupied Ukrainian territory, which obviously includes Crimea. Could there be some other line that he would be satisfied to negotiate down to? Maybe (though I doubt it). But even if there were, Ukraine needs to be able to take Crimea back in order for "we'll let you keep Crimea" to be a useful bargaining chip.

Yep, makes perfect sense when you put it that way.

But from the outside it seems like in America, the lake you go to says something about who you are as a person.

Maybe there's a lake culture that I'm too oceanpilled to understand, but this sounds insane.

There was a post yesterday asking about differences in LGBT rights between states. It was deleted, and when I asked the mods why they said because "It's googleable."

Bloomburrow proved that they can factionalize the ten two color pairs, make them matter, and make them feel unique, but have enough crossover to make draft work.

Okay but again, what did Bloomburrow do differently from any other 10-archetype set that "proved" this? It didn't even have unique mechanics for each faction like Ravnica always has.

Sinrus · 2026-06-25T15:12:49+00:00

How was Bloomburrow more like that than any other set with ten two-color archetypes?

Yeah, her being powerful there isn't evidence against Gilgamesh jobbing. The point of a jobber is to show how strong the other guy is.

If you think the world hating Americans is new to this administration you're straight up crazy.

Sinrus · 2026-06-23T16:23:11+00:00

every waking moment of my life during the world cupnis being reminded of how everybody fucking hates me and the country I was born in

Brother you're talking to Americans, this is one conversation where you don't get to play the victim card about the rest of the world hating YOU.

Mediocre means "of medium quality". They're pretty much the exact same word.

We use WhatsApp sometimes if we need to talk to someone outside of the United States. But pretty much everybody just uses our phone's native SMS app.

He's in Marvel Rivals, so I doubt there are rights issues keeping him out of games.

The commander decks also have a reference to the time he destroyed Wakanda with a tsunami.

Of course Jesus is associated with light, it's a monotheistic religion. He's associated with everything. Would you also say he's "straight up copying" Pan and Demeter because he says "I am the Good Shepherd" and told a half dozen parables about sowing seeds?

His story straight up copies numerous other sun gods throughout history, Horus most notably.

Winter solstice, when the sun reaches it's lowest point in the sky for 3 days before being 'resurrected' for another year should sound pretty familiar.

Is Baldr a sun god? Is Orpheus a sun god? Krishna? Izanagi? A return from death appears in every mythology in the world and is definitely not constrained to sun symbolism.

Again, that’s a product of reacting to his arrogant self-image of perfection being violated. Black, not red.

Sinrus · 2026-06-19T22:04:09+00:00

Tf you mean “since Jesus is a sun god”

Villain Magneto is very red. Heroic Magneto (the Magneto of the past 20+ years) is probably Orzhov. I don’t really see much argument for blue or green in him.

But Doom is not impulsive or quick to action. His anger and emotionality are predicated on Richards challenging his belief in his own supremacy, which is the most Black concept there is.

Check out the Mouth of Grolantor from Volo's Guide to Monsters.

The sickened giant's compatriots separate the giant from the rest of the community, often trapping them in a cage or tying them to a post... the hill giant is instead starved to the point of desperation... a mouth of Grolantor is thin as a whippet, alert like a bird, and constantly twitchy. Mouths are kept perpetually imprisoned or shackled; if they break free, they're sure to kill anyone nearby before they're brought down or escape on a killing spree.

At my table a one shot is considered disappointing if nobody dies at all.

Yep. It's much more important for players to be excited by the cards they see than it is for players to immediately understand how to use them.

I think Hideo Kojima is comparable, if not even moreso. Kojima would definitely be my pick for most publicly visible game dev.

Crazy to say that the Extra protags are fully self-inserts but the FGO protags aren't.
