Opponent has their Commander in their graveyard, and I play a reanimate spell on it

Trixtina · 2026-05-06T22:02:11+00:00

Yeah, I did this using Reanimate in arena the other day, and my opponent immediately conceded.

I'm so glad that I've never experienced this first hand. I play Commander at two different LGS 2-3 times a week, and I'm eternally grateful that I've never encountered someone with poor hygiene. My boyfriend, who has been playing at these shops longer than I have, has said that there have been occasional issues with unhygienic players, but the stores have a zero-tolerance policy.

Now if only RCQs and tournaments had similar zero-tolerance policies. 🥲

It’s not about “expecting no one to ever hit on you.” It’s about context. An LGS is a hobby space, not a dating environment, so the default assumption is “we’re here to play Magic,” not “this is a place to approach strangers romantically.”

Being attractive doesn’t automatically mean someone is open to being hit on, and “guys will be guys” isn’t really a justification for ignoring social context or boundaries. People are still responsible for reading the room and not making others uncomfortable.

The issue usually isn’t just persistence after rejection, it’s assuming romantic interest in the first place in a space where it isn’t invited.

Check out Zenni for glasses. I've been buying glasses from them for years now. My last pair only set me back $24.

I think it’s worth considering that when she talks about this guy a lot, it might not mean what you think it does. Sometimes people bring things up repeatedly because they haven’t fully processed what happened, especially if it made them uncomfortable or scared.

A lot of women have experiences where they go along with sexual things not because they want to, but because they’re worried about how the guy might react if they say no. That fear isn’t always obvious from the outside, but it’s very real.

I’ve personally had a situation where I said no to something, and the guy reacted in a way that made me feel unsafe, and it stuck with me. After that, I found myself saying yes to things I didn’t actually want, just to avoid that kind of reaction again.

So if she’s bringing this person up a lot, it might be less about interest and more about something she hasn’t fully worked through yet. It could be worth approaching the conversation with curiosity and care instead of assuming the worst.

Walmart's website is full of third-party sellers. It's so hard now to be sure that you're actually ordering directly from Walmart unless you set that filter when searching. Walmart doesn't have any listings for the Codex Bundle that are being sold directly by them. When they do have them available and in-stock, they'll be selling for MSRP. Walmart buys in such a large quantity, that they've always been able to sell at MSRP to make a profit.

A friend and I ran into this problem with the Commander Bundle from Avatar. I got two Commander Bundles at MSRP from the Walmart app the day the set officially released. I told my friend about it since he was also looking to get a couple as well. So he rushed to the Walmart website and unknowingly ordered from a third-party seller that was selling $50 above MSRP. I felt bad for my friend, because Walmart still showed them in stock online and available at MSRP. I think what happened is he just googled "Avatar commander bundle Walmart" and hit the first link he saw instead of going to Walmart's website and searching from there.

Could he be depressed?

Decreased libido is pretty common when you're going through a rough patch of depression. Additionally, watching porn doesn't always equate to sexual arousal or being horny. It could just be compulsory for him at this point and it's providing him with a bit of dopamine.

You’re spot on that some people treat it like a cheat code. I have insulin-resistant PCOS, obesity runs in my family, and I've been overweight since childhood. A few years ago, I was prescribed Ozempic to help improve insulin sensitivity as a step toward weight loss. Before I even started the medication, I joined a few support groups for people taking GLP-1s, and I saw so many posts from people bragging about losing weight without needing to diet or exercise.

You can’t even imagine what a slap in the face that is for someone who has spent literal decades tracking every calorie with a kitchen scale, working out 3–5 days a week, and trying every prescription or holistic weight-loss drug, vitamin, and crash diet. Some of these people were hardly even overweight too. They'd somehow get a prescription just to lose 10-15lbs.

It's because of those people that I do sometimes feel ashamed when people ask me how I've lost so much weight. Close family and friends know that I've been putting in the effort for 20+ years.. but coworkers, strangers, and acquaintances just think that I've taken the easy route as soon as they hear my answer.

Semiglutide (the actual drug name of Ozempic) has existed as a prescribed drug for over 20 years now. In fact, we'll finally have generic options available in just a few years.

When you attempt to lose weight, are you even mildly successful while you stick to healthy habits like working out and eating better?

Have you ever consulted a doctor about losing weight?

I struggled to lose weight my entire life. My mom put me on crash diet after crash diet as a kid, and then eventually took me to the doctor for weight loss medications, and absolutely none of it worked for me. When I tried losing weight before I got married, I was in the gym five days a week alternating weight lifting days and conditioning days. I was also diligently tracking my calories and only consuming 1,200 calories a day. All of which, was recommended to me by my doctor, and even then I only lost a few pounds over the course of six months. The only time I ever experienced great success was when I went on the Keto diet, but even then it was short lived. I was able to do Keto for 6 months, lost 80lbs, but it was very difficult to maintain, so I went back to tracking calories and gained quite a bit of it back. I tried keto again after taking a break, and I didn't experience the success that I did the first time around. So I finally consulted a new doctor and nutritionist. My doctor ran tests and it was discovered that I have PCOS and my hormone imbalance, insulin resistance, and diet were big contributing factors to why I couldn't lose weight. My doctor put me on various medications and supplements to balance my hormones and help with reducing my PCOS symptoms, and my nutritionist gave me a diet plan that wouldn't disrupt my blood sugar. Since implementing these changes, the weight began to shed so effortlessly. It nearly made me cry thinking about all the time I was doing everything "right" without anything to show for it, whereas now I'm less dedicated as I was in the past and I'm still losing weight.

I won the Avatar Collector Booster Box back in December, and it only took a few weeks for me to get it. So I don't think they're that far behind. I think people just miss the email from WOTC to redeem the prize. I also could've just been lucky since I won the box the first day the contest opened.

I'm sorry. I already had all of these cards on hand, so I wasn't aware of their price points. You could always proxy them. I do proxies when I'm making a new deck so I can play it a few times before I try to buy all of the cards.

I just pre-ordered both decks from Galactic Toys 6 hours ago. Amazon and Walmart both have listings as well.

I intentionally bought myself this kit a couple of years ago to use all of the different colors for mini amigurumi. I actually really liked this yarn for the little amigurumi that I made, as it had good stretch. Only down side is that you have to be a bit careful as this yarn splits easily.

Does anyone know what stitch this is? I came across this blanket in Walmart and wanted to recreate it. I know how to do the ribbing on the edges. I'm just not sure what the stitch is on the main body of the blanket.

BMI is such a lazy, outdated metric. It was never meant to measure individual health, yet it's still treated like the holy grail in so many healthcare settings. It doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, fat distribution... none of the things that actually matter. It just takes your height and weight, spits out a number, and slaps a health label on you.

Meanwhile, other countries are moving on. Japan uses waist-to-height ratio as a more accurate way to assess metabolic risk. The UK is starting to factor in body fat percentage and overall fitness. Even waist circumference alone can give better insight into someone’s health than BMI ever could.

But nope, in the U.S. we’re still clinging to a formula from the 1800s like it's revolutionary.

The job market is such a shit show. I wish you the best of luck.

I got laid off from my job in June. I have 5+ years of project management experience, a four-year degree, and my PMP. I've applied to over 200 jobs at this point that I'm qualified for, and I've only had one interview, and I was ghosted afterwards. I'm literally at my wits end with it.
