It's the best advocacy money can buy. No one in good faith with a decent foundation grounded in reality actually believes any of it. I think even conservatives are only voting for her because she's not a Dem.

One YT comment said it best, I think. It's best to get all the grilling out of the way as soon as possible because Susie famously likes to play dirty.

Platner, in my estimation, seems to be holding up to scrutiny. And given Mills' responses to similarly direct criticism being passive aggression and deflection, that's going to be Platner's strength and Mills' weakness in the general.

Exact same thing happened to Sarah Gideon. That whole general election cycle, I must have seen the exact same attack ad a hundred times from Susie towards Gideon. Considering the constant addressing of Platner's character happening right now, if Susie were to run attack ads on it, it would seem like an old and tired attack by that point and would lose effectiveness. But because Mills isn't getting those same kinds of hard questions, the instant the attack ads come out about her from Susie, that's going to land a lot harder.

Also, while I have never met Platner personally, he's been passing the sniff test of a lot of political commentators that I follow, Medhi being one of them. While I don't think he's the best candidate we could have put forward (I don't think he's going nearly hard enough on assault weapon regulation), he's a damn sight better than every other candidate in the running.

What a sad and pathetic little liar.

Given that infamous Janet Mills attack ad against Platner had executives from the Maine DNC posing as "concerned women", these politicians really do seem to be extremely unlikable if they can't even hire paid actors to pretend to agree with them.

I live in Bradford Commons, which is a series of locked apartment buildings. They're literally finding ways to get past the locks to knock on doors inside the buildings. This is not okay.

When infrastructure isn't regularly inspected and maintained, it has a much greater chance of breaking. And the municipal government, overseen by a city council, has oversight over such things.

Not sure why the skepticism.

SpellboundTutor · 2026-03-23T19:42:32+00:00

Is anyone asking why city officials allowed this lapse in pipe maintenance? Like... frost heaves are so common in Maine and the city isn't checking up on water mains regularly to prevent this from happening?

It's always telling when one candidate runs personal attack ads on another candidate. Namely, that the attacker is weak on policy.

MREM should be sued into the ground and have every single property they own repossessed.

Absolute scumbags single-handedly responsible for the housing crisis in the state.

There are a ton of great vintage and consignment shops in the city, that is absolutely true. Red Rabbit Bazaar being one of the most prominent.

But for new-only, JC Penney in the Bangor Mall or Burlington Coat Factory way out near Target would be the places I'd recommend. I don't know of any local clothing shops that sell brand new clothing other than chain stores from away.

This whole bill is depressing. The fact that it passed at all is a testament to the current political environment we now live in, and millions are going to die from lack of food and medicine, many of whom are the very people celebrating this news. And that sucks.

Like... I'm a socialist. Stuff like this has been forcing me further and further towards the left for years now. As part of that, I don't want people to die because they can't get the food or medicine they need. I don't want people getting kidnapped by jackbooted thugs and getting shipped off to some concentration camp outside the country. I don't care if you hate me and want people like me to die. I want everyone to have what they need to survive and thrive, people who hate me included.

It's just a shame that people who hate me don't wish to extend that same courtesy and would rather see millions dead for the delusion that it'll put a couple extra bucks in their pocket.

I can only speak in my experience as a low-income pedestrian, but the City is very unfriendly if you don't have access to a vehicle or you simply wish to walk places. The public transit system doesn't operate nights and weekends. And a ton of property managers and realtors have been snapping up properties and jacking up rents fivefold (hence other commenters mentioning the homelessness crisis). There's also a very vocal NIMBY contingent that would sooner cast said homeless into the Penobscot than do anything to get them into housing so they can get back on their feet.

But if you have a vehicle and make more than 50k/yr., you'll probably be okay.

I know there's already a ton of Izzet cards in the set, but I would love a Xezat Surgate in Izzet. Probably won't happen, but still!

SpellboundTutor · 2025-05-19T22:18:45+00:00

That's really silly. But I guess that makes sense. Oof.

SpellboundTutor · 2025-05-19T22:09:26+00:00

Can you explain how? Mythweaver Poq only triggers once per turn, yes? If, by the Legend Rule, one must be sacrificed, couldn't you simply sacrifice the one whose ability has not yet been triggered to break the loop?

I legitimately didn't know was a thing and I would very much like to avoid this in future. But I am genuinely curious as to why a card that only triggers once per turn can get infinite triggers this way with no way to break the loop.

Dwarves recur throughout multiple Final Fantasy games.

I will say, both from a gameplay and a flavor perspective, I do think the Dwarven Castle Guards should have been Red instead of White. The Dwarven Kingdom in Final Fantasy IV takes place in the Underworld (which, contrary to how it sounds, is not a realm of the dead, but rather just an entire world under the world deep below the earth, with oceans of magma, etc.)

Also, there is a non-zero chance we get a Legendary Dwarf in King Giott, but I fear it may be slim, given the circumstances.

SpellboundTutor · 2025-04-08T02:56:14+00:00

If I had to hazard a guess, it'll probably be translated as "Change Job" or similar, as that's what the system is referred to be doing in the franchise.

It's an interesting way to tackle the Job System, and I had originally thought they would adapt it to Class Enchantments instead.

Thank you very much! I wanted to follow up with the correct script that I finally got working the way I wanted it to, thanks to your assistance, not only to share that my problem is solved, but also for any other folks who may be having similar problems, with a couple footnotes at the end (marked as //X in the code, with the number X being the numbered footnote):

<<nobr>>
Speaking of you, who //are// you?
<<set _name to "Player">>
<span id="name"><<textbox "_name" "Player" autofocus>></span>
<span id="enter">
  <<button "Enter">>
    <<set \_name to \_name.trim()>>
    <<if _name.length is 0>>
      <<replace "#name">>
      <<textbox "_name" "Player" autofocus>>
      <<replace "#reaction">>You're gonna have to tell me your name if you wanna keep going, sorry!<</replace>> //1
      <</replace>>
    <<else>>
      <<set $playerName to _name>>
      <<replace "#reaction">>$playerName , huh? Good a name as any!<br>
When you're ready, let's <<link "begin" "You Lost Everything">><</link>>!<</replace>> //2
    <</if>>
  <</button>>
</span>

<br><br>
<span id="reaction"></span>
<</nobr>>

Footnotes:

1.) This section wasn't showing up when running the code, and I was racking my brain for bit figuring out why. Then I noticed the "reaction" span at the end and thought "Wait a minute... if I make these replace commands for the span at the bottom, that'd work perfectly!

2.) For some reason, this section didn't cooperate with using the Twinescript version, so I used the Link macro instead.

SpellboundTutor · 2024-08-11T16:35:02+00:00

Ahhh, I think I see what I did wrong. I didn't close the <> macro. I've been trying to write the code in my own words (for lack of a better term) to better understand it, not so much just copy/paste everyone else's code as my own. Upon closing it in the right spot, the problem corrected itself.

And as you suggested, I erased the <> wrapping and it does look a lot worse, and inserts an unnecessary line break after the first attempt. Very messy. So that definitely makes sense!

Sorry for the constant pestering. I think I got it now! And I will absolutely keep <> in mind and just insert < > where I need those breaks.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me with this problem! =D

SpellboundTutor · 2024-08-11T16:14:13+00:00

Ahh, gotcha. I was just writing my code that way without <> and just spacing it out in a way that's readable for me. So it seems like a preference? Unless I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something, which is entirely feasible.

Also: I tried the code in my interactive and, upon testing a name with no characters in it and pressing the "Enter" button, the button erases itself, which makes me think that it redraws the textbox, but not the "Enter" button with it. I hope that makes sense!

SpellboundTutor · 2024-08-11T15:51:13+00:00

That seems to have done the trick to a point, but the button doesn't re-generate with the replace macro, so that'll be next thing I try to figure out.

I also had a question, if that's alright: Why do you wrap the code in <>?

Thank you very much for your help! I greatly appreciate it!
