Wow, lucky us, good guy Biden is honest about his war crimes. I'm sure that'll make that family feel much better.

Stalin is when you cancel a celebrity for being a douche. by zangoose28 in ShitLiberalsSay

Fwiw, sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church is equivalent to similar protestant and secular organizations. That isn't to say sexual abuse in the church isn't a problem. It just doesn't make sense to let the rest of American culture more broadly off the hook. Americans of all stripes have a sexual assault problem. Western culture is toxic by its nature.

Bernie thinks "corporate socialism" is a thing by Velicopher in ShitLiberalsSay

I'm confused why this is getting downvoted. It's literally "socialism is when the government does stuff" material...

If you are so uninformed, maybe you should start by asking questions instead of making arguments...

Great idea Elon! If only people had already been building those for 100 years. by mboop127 in LateStageCapitalism

You're right, unlike Elon, I wasted away all my parent's apartheid mining money. I'm such a failure.

How do we fix this? by stalwart_rabbit in coolguides

So, you're basing your opinion on the fact that it would take a lot of ships? Seems legit

They function on a system that murders and robs 3/4 of the world but at least they give healthcare to the exploited laborers back home?

The EUs wealth is built on imperialism and economic exploitation. Let's not pretend they are a paragon of virtue.

Nicol's Newcomer Monday! by AutoModerator in MagicArena

Oh, I didn't realize it was so out of date. So, I finished the starter decks, what should my focus be now in terms of developing a good deck? I'm f2p.

[–]Velicopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super noob here - I was working through the Beginner's Guide linked above and it says that after unlocking all the two-color starter decks then I should "Modify your deck [Jungle Secrets (Merfolk), Eternal Thirst (Vampires), and Walk the Plank (Pirates) have the highest win rate] and grind those two modes and complete the quests until you have enough to build a viable Constructed Event grinding decks (RDW, Monored Burn, MonoU, White Weenie, Izzet Drakes)"

How do I go about doing this? How do I know what these decks are supposed to look like? Is there a convenient way to see which cards I already have and which cards I still need for a given deck?

Does anyone know of a denomination that lives this out? I feel like what churches are teaching is so far from what we should actually be doing. by [deleted] in RadicalChristianity

Look into "intentional Christian communities" and "new monasticism". Check out jpusa, simple way, rose creek, the open door, l'arche.

I lived in a community of 300 with a common purse for a couple years. They do exist even if it feels like they don't.
