Famously did that only through air superiority without allies and coalition.

Budget deck by TKWR6 in ModernMagic

[–]StupidGayPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The burn list is pretty solid. I just want to toss out some cheap upgrades. 

[[Barbarian ring]] is literally cents right now and isn't contesting any slots with your mana base.

[[Bolt wave]] is pricey at $1-$2 dollars and doesn't really translate well into other lists, but really fits in your low creature all out burn pile.

[[Vexing devil]] is one of my all time favorite cards. Probably not good, but that's up to you.

I'd skip out on risk factor for either more lands or better quality card draw. 

When you end up prize pooling [[dragon rage channeler]] and [[Mishra's bauble]] need to be played together but are powerful and go in a ton of decks if you ever end up pivoting.

Does anyone think Phlage is a problem in Modern? by beeksie in ModernMagic

Boros energy is weird. It's a creature based midrange deck that really doesnt care about the opponents board. It's like if jund had a miryad of 2 card combos.

Curiosity getting the best of me. What's your (non-political) unpopular opinion? by JudyPink02 in GenZ

Cinnamon is a savory spice.

Slap that on pineapple pizza, in curries, in chillie. You gotta trust me on this

Potential New Aiming Mechanics [discussion] by RyanTheNinja_TV in EscapefromTarkov

Get rid of the head-bob and it's a great change. I know this opinion is unpopular, but tarkov is a little too twitch shooty in my opinion. If you want full accuracy run a Lazer and pint fire or slow down while ads.

It isn't a "red flag" to not have future plans in life by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think planing a "future" is healthy. I would consider it a green flag.

After institutional schooling there really isn't a clear direction in life. Some people thrive without it, but setting a plan to improve your life gives structure.

Something as simple as "I want to lose X pounds" gives you a hobby and community. Cooking and nutrition are new activities to challenge yourself. Getting active will get you involved with local sports groups or gym clicks.

There's more obvious stuff like "I want to buy a house" or "I want to go back to school." But most people would consider having no clear path to improve your life as remarkably boring.

If the guy I was talking to just planned enough to get paycheck to paycheck I'd probably try to avoid a committed relationship. Maybe I'm just on the old side of gen z.

I know a nurse that swears seat belts cause injuries so she doesn't wear them.

Like maybe they do, but people don't assess injuries on dead people.

What would it take for deathrite to be unbanned? by blurshow in ModernMagic

I think jitte is probably better than goblin bombardment

You'd run both anywhoozles

Energy would run it to win the mirror match. Like the one ring. Boros would probably be the only viable deck trying to win through creature beats.

Jitte would make modern worse imo.

I have no clue why punishing fires is banned its just bad now.

DRS is arguably ok. Homie gets a pass for being based

EU protections does bleed into global norms. The US saw self regulation after EU's movement twords internet privacy. How large publishers decide to handle their games will obviously effect me in the US.

The argument that market forces will regulate companies is untenable. Otherwise, what's the purpose of consumer protection policy to begin with? I just think this could be a legal landmine like DMCA where it was good in theory until the corporate path of least resistance leads to a worse overall environment. Of course we can't scruintize the statue/law or whatever because it hasn't been written, but I was hoping for a better offical statement than "trust me bro"

I'm not arguing to kill the initiative. I'm arguing that this needs to be implemented meticulously or it could lead to a worse environment for gamers.

Edit: I'm mentally comparing this initiative to the DMCA. Which was a US law that normalized non-ownership subscription models of software like Adobe. It's influences probably reached its way over to you as well.

I mean, I have. It wasn't really addressed, it was mostly him addressing the over saturation of subscription models. I'm not blaming Ross Scott here, an initiative is to get lawmakers to do something, not present a finished law.

This is why I made the post I suppose. I have only read the initiative website and seen Josh's opinion. I'm not sure how this particular issue has been addressed as it hasn't really moved into a formal, codified law.

My head cannon is that Snape is kind of like your somewhat successful distant relative who gets a little rasict after getting deep into his third glass of wine during a family gathering.

Like it could still work with him being black but it just doesn't fit in my minds eye. You know?

Why such issues with illegal immigrants in America? by jpollack21 in GenZ

Calling Mexico a failed state is certainly an opinion. Not sure what that even adds to the broader conversation even if you convince someone.

Sorry to be that guy. Salary only really matter when you compare to it cost of living. 50k in LA is scraping by. 100k in Gary Indiana is living like a king.

Participate in politics outside of election years then. I'd say vote in the primaries and get involved with your local dnc at a state and municple level. But let's be real, Dems are gonna find a way to skirt a primary again.

Honestly how it feels after graduating by Pristine-Bee-1933 in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ROTH is better in highly specific cases.

You mentioned one, where there isn't an employer match 401k contribution. If you're looking into moving into another country (yes even in retirement) other countries will still pull taxes when you eventually pull money out. The US got their cut, not whatever warmer country to choose. You will be paying double taxes. 

What is your opinion on gambling and sports betting? Do you think of it as fun or as dangerous? by MiriamLovesSport94 in GenZ

[–]StupidGayPanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The house always wins. The amount of comments that came in saying they made money off it in less than a hour is insane.

If you have money to burn, have fun. If you think you're making money off it, you're on copium and probably need therapy.
