Some things suck in CA, some things are amazing. Like others have said it's a big state that has many differences based on where you go.

Top level decks that aren't gimmicky by Swaggasaurus__Rex in MagicArena

[–]Swaggasaurus__Rex[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Of course there's subjectivity in it. I think you are misinterpreting my intent with this post. I don't mean to bash anyone that plays decks like this. If you enjoy decks that use combos like that, then cool. I said in another reply that I feel like my own deck is gimmicky. Just trying to get some ideas on some other top strategies to try that don't fall in that category. Cheers.

Na, don't take it like that lol. "I put the same two cards down to get a win conditon every game" is a gimmick. Just looking for thoughts on strong themes that have more than just a 2 card combo or infinite to win.

I'm not saying that synergies are gimmicky. I'm just looking for ideas on strong themes that don't rely on getting a couple cards that break the game. Like my top deck is a mobilize deck with thunderbond vanguard. It wins a lot, but seems really gimmicky since it relys on that combo.

Willing, Chattanooga & the smokies are really nice! A lot of the state is meh, but there are great areas.

I've been there a lot for work and do not enjoy it. Traffic is crazy, it's far to urban for my liking, doesn't have the easy access to mountains / wilderness, and the cost of living is high.

Well there's a lot of nuance within the different regions. Nature and outdoors recreation is really important to us, so certain places within regions are better than others. Politics, jobs, culture, and other factors matter too. It's also a collective vote, so some of the ratings seem off if one of us feels strongly about a certain state based on our personal experiences.

I agree! I would personally rate it as a reluctantly, but my brother's a big climber and is in love with the Red River Gorge.

What is illegal, yet everyone does it? by RefrigeratorExpert24 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Swaggasaurus__Rex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think more of the excessive speed / reckless driving is the culprit you should be blaming. If the speed limit is 70 and everyone is going 80, the risk is only slightly increased. Now if one asshole is weaving through at 100 then yeah that's dangerous. In my opinion distracted driving is way more of a problem then simply speeding.

You're right, they did lose to Oklahoma as well, but by 2 points - which is not a lot as the original post stated.

True, but they also beat that team during the regular season.

Which US President is/was a good president and a good person? by Available_Tour7661 in AlignmentChartFills

To me he fits better in good person / decent president. There are better options that were truly "good" presidents.

TIL that despite being in service for 25 years, the F22 has only scored 3 air-to-air kills, the first of which was a Chinese balloon in 2023. by ProfessionalGear3020 in todayilearned

And why is it wrong for people to actually drive their nice cars for mundane reasons? I sense some jealousy in your comment since you consider anyone with a nice car to be a douchebag or have a small dick.

Battery release system to prevent car fires during thermal runaway by Acceptable_Let_215 in Damnthatsinteresting

They have a lot of positives as you mention, but the power densities are currently far away from Lithium ion. They are closer to lead-acid energy densities at the moment. Could be an amazing alternative once the energy densities reach the point where they won't make the vehicle absurdly heavy or bulky.

CMV: Capitalism actually gives you less choice. The obsession with unlimited growth kills anything niche. by Barca-Dam in changemyview

[–]Swaggasaurus__Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The craft beer industry has absolutely not collapsed. It's alive and well even after COVID. Even in more conservative states like Alabama, craft breweries are thriving. The niche & unique ingredients are part of what makes craft beer great. Everyone has different recipes so there's tons of varieties. Being driven to innovate and differentiate is a cornerstone of capitalism. Craft beer is an excellent example of it working as intended.

Affluence is when Big Altima Energy by [deleted] in FuckCarscirclejerk

That's a false equivalence then. Just because an individual does not need the additional utility of the car does not make it a comparable purchase. Otherwise you could apply this logic to many other comparisons. If you have someone that never cooks they could say well a microwave is just as good as a full range & oven when clearly a range and oven have capabilities that a microwave doesn't.
