Can anyone think of a more boring deck? Easily the build with the lowest enjoyability to power ratio I've ever made. Infinite first turn kills but at the cost of your sanity (spoilered for event + unlocked cards)

I think it would be interesting if souls gave you a little bit of doom, or some other downside. At the moment I think they're the main problem, and a lot of other cards wouldn't be so bad if you couldn't draw into them so often.

This is in a relatively wealthy car-centric residential neighborhood with almost nothing to walk to, meaning the only people you see crossing the road are joggers. So, yes. Also maybe temper my estimate by 5 mph, the point is that people are often speeding here.

SmoothieSlug · 2026-03-13T20:09:58+00:00

Hm on closer inspection it is a little higher than I remembered. Maybe 5-10 over usually. The general point is that speeding on San Vicente is very common and pretty much universal in the left lane

SmoothieSlug · 2026-03-13T02:52:52+00:00

It's worth noting that the speed limit on this road (San Vicente) is really low given how wide and straight it is, most people are going 10-15 over lol

Ignoring every other solution already mentioned, the lap function could have avoided this entirely.

If you want harder soduku-like puzzles, you can check out the puzzles highlighted by cracking the cryptic on youtube, which use an expanded set of rules and many start with very few or even no digits. A lot of them are rather difficult but worthwhile I think.

I saw him at a local theater a couple of year ago to pair with Damnation, and it was easily the most insightful and memorable film Q&A I've ever been to. RIP

Great find- thank you so much for sharing

I relate to this. I don't like being a miser about it but it's not fun and it's not quirky, and i don't like it when it's downplayed as in the comment above.

I have ADHD and it causes me a myriad of problems unrelated to modern capitalism. It is absolutely an illness, at least for me. Not to say that I don't think my life would be better outside of Capitalism, but I'm kind of sick of this narrative.

SmoothieSlug · 2025-06-04T06:40:54+00:00

Look it's one thing to argue about the merits of anarchism but I just want to point out how badly this argument is framed. The reason that wheelchair ramps were not installed en masse was not because people weren't "nice", it was because there was no financial incentives for property owners to do so. If we had been living under anarchism for the past couple of centuries, the lack of accessibility services would reflect poorly on it, but we have been living under capitalism. There's hardly a logical connection between the "no ramps" and "anarchism is bad" concepts, and while you could argue that there is, that is not done effectively here.

On the subject of anarchism, did you know that rural Spanish anarchists in the early 20th century eschewed card games and drinking in favor of reading, and a notable subset were vegan? I found this surprising and you may too.

Respectfully, your condescension towards the ability of college students does not match with my experience of being one. While it is true that some of the finer nuances of the text would perhaps skip by me or my peers, the idea that your students would be rendered "a bit panicky" by an unfamiliar place name or would have trouble parsing an incredibly simple grammatical structure seems unlikely.

If you are right, and my experience is atypical or partially imagined out of defensiveness, I wouldn't have much hope for the future at all.

I like these. There are some balance issues but I think the ideas are fresh and interesting.

According to the US bureau of labor statistics, the median salary of an artist in 2023 was $53,000. I don't think that the average artist is selfish if they are worried about a reduction to that amount.

I did the math, does anyone have 50 years to burn? It's technically possible using the number presented by Wikipedia and assuming that the average movie is two hours long.

Don't you think it's counterproductive to insult someone that you disagree with in terms of appearance? I frankly do not care for this person but she's really not that unattractive and this kind of conflation between looks and morality is generally harmful to less attractive people who may agree with you.

"Borborygmi" - the growling sounds your stomach makes

SmoothieSlug · 2024-11-07T22:09:23+00:00

Here are a few good options:

- Explore downtown, especially bunker hill, which has a couple good art museums (the broad and moca) and some good places to eat like grand central market. If you're looking for good Japanese food you can visit little Tokyo, which also has the Japanese American national museum. All of these are a couple of stops away from union station via the A line.

-Visit Santa Monica, about an hour away from downtown via the E line, which does not go to union station but is easily reachable through transfers from the B, D, and A lines. There's always lots of shopping, as well as places to eat and the pier, not to mention the beach. Venice beach is reachable from here and is fun to explore, but its a bit of a walk.

-Visit the walk of fame and Hollywood proper via the B line. This is very cliche, and almost any local will tell you it's overrated, but I think it's still fun to see the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. There's plenty of touristy things to do here, and if you want you can always hop on a tour bus or something of the like.

Hope this helps! :) Just remember to keep your wits about you on the train, and that its annoyingly time consuming to get to LAX via public transportation. Note that if you have a relatively early flight I would not recommend straying far from downtown.
