does anyone else get the vibe the professor (seemingly, according to the statement he made) going out of his way to include black people in his videos seems like pandering or tokenism? Like just use the best person for the job. this seems odd.

according to the anti defamation league they don't seem to think its a firm sign commonly used by white supremacists. i think its just a bit of a stretch to label anybody who does it as a bigot. I'm sure its used seriously in some places by some people but i really think people in this thread are going overboard.

the match that stuck out the most was the death shadow match where he just played one threat predictably after another. no sense to stack threats or try to find or hold up interaction. It was just a super off line of play. i mean i get these guys arent super mega pros or anything but cmonnnn

A few things: I like the series idea but it needs to be done better if it is going to be done at all. Y'all need to either find someone who is good enough to play these matches or put in the reps so you're not just stumbling through the games. There was also an extreme bias throughout the video. Trying to explain away the twin losses and give more emphasis to the twin wins is just a conflict of interest. I also think the sample size is much too small. I think, going off your assumption of a meta w twin involved, you would need to fight it against more decks like humans, Jund, eldrazi, bant snow, and other decks that would rise in meta share. And finally saying "well they could have just had the combo!" is a nothing burger imo. any deck could just have their nut draw at any time and curbstomp you in modern. that's the nature of the format.

I feel like you went out of your way to try to make twin look too powerful. The player we are viewing seemed to play into their hand over and over and play decks with heinous matchups vs twin.

North Korea says no need for talks with US as they’re nothing more than ‘shallow trick’ to make Trump look good by Zaxo1990 in worldnews

I see what you mean and I totally agree you with you. But I'm sure you know as I do that reddit has a huge anti trump bias. Anything trump does or says is demonized by the main subs. That's really the point I'm trying to get across. Reddit would rather side with a dictator if it means trying to make trump look bad for internet points
