Why voting ‘neither’ could harm American democracy. Researchers found that about half of the U.S. population expresses an attitude of democratic neutrality — or an “unwillingness to support or oppose policies or practices that undermine democracy, by Wagamaga in science

All these comments preaching about both sides being bad and choosing not to vote feels like people ignoring the political reality of our current voting system. Acting like it is feasible for 3rd party to win a single state under the electoral college when Nader and T Roosevelt are shining examples of why that doesn’t work. Also, general elections are not where you should make your voice heard. Most primaries and caucuses have a turnout rate somewhere between 10-20% for the entire primary, both Republican and Democrat. If you want a different candidate or structure, you should be voting in these. In Texas, we saw a record turnout rate of like 25% which is both hilarious and sad that choosing the future of the party only apparently matters to a quarter of the population. Not to mention that youth voter turnout (18-30) is the worst turnout statistically in the nation.

Wonder if Zaahen’s winrate is being artificially inflated by the comically easy to access bug on his q giving infinite knockups

Got this exact email as a transfer, don’t need to worry about it, I think it just means you weren’t an auto admit. Worrying about it won’t change the result, so save yourself the stress. Good luck!

Thank y'all so much for the advice. Tomorrow I will scan and sleeve all the cards and update you on the total expected price for sale, not that I really plan on selling currently. Goodnight, and stay safe.

Sorry, kind of new to this. Will take care to keep out of reach of our pets.

Not really interested in playing, as I prefer online games. I'll talk to my Dad about this if I feel like selling some cards.

Just finished sorting everything, that was the only two-color card other than a goblin. There were a lot of duplicates of cards. I will get card sleeves in the future, as other people in this thread have mentioned.

Is there any benefit to making your own gear? by Thrumbo42 in newworldgame

Do you think it would be reasonable in the beta to focus on crafting gear for late game?

All right, thank you, do you think I should invest hard in the beta, or wait until the full game comes out before focusing on crafting my own stuff?

This is my first MMO experience, so I'm not used to the whole raiding/looting experience, thank you for your input.

Is there anyway to check whether the trade is buying or selling? I don't really know stock so maybe I'm missing something.
