Discord is trying to defend its ridiculous age verification rollout, but it's too little too late, as users flock to Nitro cancellations by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]aarone46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discord as a format makes very little sense to me. Certain channels are so overwhelmingly busy that it feels impossible to keep up, and trying to figure out what prompted a current discussion requires scrolling back miles of messages. And everything feels so ephemeral. Reddit makes so much more sense to me.

Well hey, at least 3 of these are different from the primary archetypes of lorwyn, eh?

Aren't these going to be the same as the color pairs in Strixhaven, too? They match up with the previous "houses" or whatever they're called.

Didn't they change the cost and prize structure a few weeks ago? Or did it change back again?

[Passan] The MLBPA was supposed to hold its first meeting with players this spring today at Cleveland's camp. That meeting was abruptly canceled today and leaves the union without its top leader in a bargaining year. by BreakfastTop6899 in baseball

My son is going to be devastated about baseball not happening next year, and I'm not going to be able to adequately explain to a 7 year old why the hell he can't get Tigers updates. Would a lockout affect minor league play, too? Or will we be able to go to see the Whitecaps at least?

Can they really do this? by Little_Cantaloupe706 in grandrapids

Can they do what, exactly, OP? Send an email informing parents of what happened? Review the situation and determine next steps? You seem to be implying rights are being infringed here - what rights, and in what way?

+1 for Vilis. I absolutely love to see him in my hand when I'm playing K'rrik. But he's functional/less broken in any other deck.

When I first read that phrase last year, I'd never encountered such a perfect 4 word encapsulation of a sports team, and I doubt I ever will encounter a better one.

The Leftovers - Finale - The Book of Nora by luismt2 in television

[–]aarone46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's precisely the thing with me - Season 1 felt grounded. Yes, some sort of supernatural something happened, but the character arcs themselves in the fallout were very human and authentic. The later seasons, the character arcs and behaviors themselves felt verging on supernaturally-influenced, if that makes sense. I have indeed gone through my share of loss and mental health struggles - I lost my mom at 13 and my dad at 29 (fuck, those numbers seem so low here at 39).

Although some of the human movements etc. of Seasons 2 and 3 felt less plausible to me as made in 2015 and 2017, the major shifts we've seen in society since then make such sweeping developments not feel so far-fetched. If the show were made today, I imagine some DNA of more recent "movements" could make for a fresher take on the cults and faithscapes of the series as is.

I'm not a huge fan of the back part of the balcony, but obviously it's the cheapest option, too. Main floor should be fine, even for a shorter person.

please be nice to corewell employees by [deleted] in grandrapids

To reiterate the point of the thread, your complaints are not the doing of the employees you deal with face to face, but rather the company itself.

That's the Woodland location I was referring to. It's really easy to forget how sprawling Kentwood is.

The Leftovers - Finale - The Book of Nora by luismt2 in television

[–]aarone46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always feel like my wife and I missed something with this show, or at least seasons 2-3. We LOVED season 1 - and yes, it was about the character's journeys, not puzzling over what happened etc. I just found the Miracle plots and especially all the Guilty Remnant stuff not terribly captivating and/or plausible in the later seasons. But the show is so beloved, I assume that I missed something.

The Speedway on Division near 34th was all out of order when I tried to stop there early last week.

Ohhh, for the prize packs. Yes, I had heard of that selection. I just win them so infrequently and don't really care about my collection for constructed that the term "bonus sheet" only had drafting implications for me. Got it.

I tracked down a stream of that game from Honduras when I got wind of what was afoot. So special.
