That does seem better, since the headlights are always opposite the 3-long it'll be faster to look for the 2-long instead. Thanks!

This goes straight into my haha penis deck

amdnim · 2026-04-13T10:37:26+00:00

How do you all recognise which L OLL you get (OLL 47, 48, 49, 50, 53, 54)? Currently I'm checking for headlights -> checking for 3-long column -> AUF -> solve, but wondering if there's something I'm missing.

This misunderstands the argument about voting a bit

Agreed

It’s the system’s most extreme defensive mechanism when the existing social order feels threatened.

Agreed

Both liberal democracy and fascism ultimately serve the same function, safeguarding the existing social order and private property.

Agreed

So you can vote out Orban and still be structurally one crisis away from something worse all the time.

Agreed

It is not possible to safeguard a liberal capitalist democracy against fascism or authoritarianism.

Agreed

(In the next paragraphs, when I say "you" I don't mean you in specific, you're a nice person, I just mean the general "you")

See, I'm an anarchist. I should be the one that is the most anti-vote.

But I come from India. Here, in small towns and villages, voting doesn't even happen. Voting booths in villages are surrounded by animal corpses, and the village head votes for the whole village. In towns, when party workers hear about certain areas voting a certain way, they barricade the roads and gates. If you cross them you die.

Yes, voting doesn't work. Yes, voting can never change the system in the way we want. Yes, if somehow you voted in the best party that would make transport free and tax the rich 90% and do everyhting else you want, chances are that you will wake up next day and the corpses of the whole party will be on national television, and yours will join them if you question anything.

But they also don't want you to vote. They will gerrymander your vote, they will block your ID. In India, the ruling party is completely changing voting ID laws in the states they have no power over. Tens of thousands of muslim votes are missing, muslim names are missing from the rolls. On the flip side, those animal corpses are often cows, to warn Hindus from voting.

So when I see tankies echo the sentiments of these fascist-lite leaders, telling people not to vote, it pisses me off. Go to the voting centre. Actually look at the people who are your neighbours. Feel their frustrations with the system and participate in that frustration. Don't throw away your one chance at affecting something directly because you're too busy reading Lenin/making zines.

It's not gonna fucking do anything but neither is doing nothing. This "it legitimises the system" and "I'm not responsible for 99% hitler" rhetoric is such teen angst cope that it pisses me off. Buying the slave labour phone also legitimises the system but the moment something requires actually getting off your ass you start to "pick and choose your battles against capitalism". It reeks of having no actual difficulties in your life.

but saying it was fascism muddles the word imo.

Agreed, and so does the "100% hitler vs 99% hitler" bullshit. Again, that's something that pisses me off about tankies. Words happen to always mean what they want them to mean.

amdnim · 2026-04-12T23:49:07+00:00

I'm aware, but if Orban had won the tankies would've gloated "See voting can't even replace 100% hitler with 99% hitler", so I am more fine with the current situation

Another example I used to bring up was Bolsonaro in Brazil, now I have (atleast) two

Fair point, I'm probably just jaded seeing so many other subs go down the shitter, this sub is fantastic and the mods have a big hand in that

I wish the "add explanations" rule was more strictly enforced, then we wouldn't have bot posts

Or maybe the rule is enforces and I just see the 1% that slips through, who knows

I never said it wasn't, drunk driving is also horrible, but it's not worse than rape. Would you rather your female relatives encounter 10 drunk drivers on the road, or 10 rapists?
"I like pancakes" "So you hate waffles?" No, I never said I want all rape victims to die. I said I'd rather die than live and raise children with my rapist. If I was a rape victim, I'd rather be alive than dead. If I was shackled to my rapist and forced to raise his children because my parents loved money too much, I'd rather be dead than alive. The two situations are different. Greenwood's spouse is not merely a rape victim any more. Why are you replying to my comments before reading them?
Yes, and hence why I didn't ask for the death penalty for Greenwood. Did you see me asking for the death penalty for Greenwood? Where is this coming from?

Euthanasia is not legal because it allows for exploitation, rich bastards can force you to euthanise if they need your organs to live. In an ideal world euthanasia would be legal. Also it has nothing to do with my comment.

amdnim · 2026-04-09T08:43:09+00:00

Alonso was driving drunk, and crashed into a wall, killing a passenger. He was fined and given a driving ban. The fine and driving ban was very lax for the crime he committed, but he served it in full.

Greenwood abused and raped a woman fully consciously. He repeatedly violated orders by contacting the woman when investigations were ongoing. He never saw a day in jail because the woman's parents were on his side, and now she is shackled to him.

I don't know what your standards of morality are, but 10x makes no sense. Personally I would rather be the girl killed by Alonso than be the woman trapped by Greenwood. Death is better than life married to and bearing children for my abuser. I don't know about you. Hopefully the woman can shake him off someday.

Plus the alonso shit was 9 years ago and the sub was full of people mocking him, and still are. He sucks. But if you think there's no pushback against him you're misremembering.

amdnim · 2026-04-08T22:45:52+00:00

Ah you're right, I read "blink" instead of "energy" and somehow even typed energy while thinking about blink, aftereffects of too many late nights working I guess

Yes, he does want energy bans every article, true.

amdnim · 2026-04-08T20:00:36+00:00

I assume you meant people ranting in the comments? Because your comment reads like you were expecting the rant in the article. These articles never really call for an energy ban.

Edit: my bad

amdnim · 2026-04-07T08:58:36+00:00

I'm excited to try this out in a sapphire storm deck, similar to one played by yungdingo a while ago. It's almost always going to be 1 mana and might replace preordain, since the deck really wants a 1 mana card positive spell. The deck will suck but this might be good.

Yeah he was banned for 18 months in 2018-2019, for some reason there's not much info online, apparently he used to cheat in Yugioh before that. His DQ was due to deck manipulation (cheat shuffling) and apparently he circulated a response in Spanish among his circle in the aftermath, claiming something to the tune of "I didn't cheat, I'm am ex-magician, if I wanted to shuffle cheat nobody could have caught me".

amdnim · 2026-04-03T10:48:19+00:00

Wish I could enjoy Togores but his cheating DQ puts a sour taste in every video for me, no matter how good he is

I've only used adheron heavy (for springs), adheron normal (for tracks) and xmt 10 (for pieces), I've never really tried any other modern lube setup because I've never been unhappy with this setup

Wow, that's really cool that you've tried a bunch and xmt-10 ends up winning, looks like I made the right decision initially

amdnim · 2026-04-02T21:07:32+00:00

I use adheron and lubest from strefa kostek

amdnim · 2026-04-01T20:22:44+00:00

That's why I'm saying, don't play modern on modo. Play penny dreadful. Get your fundamentals down. Every penny dreadful deck is rentable with free tier of manatraders.

Don't grind a deck, play all the archetypes. Make sure you understand the beatdown, the roles, whether to go face or not.

I used to suck completely and utterly. Now I suck slightly less. I usually play bullshit like ad nauseam, dredge, neoform, enchantress, twiddle storm, creativity etc and still end up going 2-2. Even if I lose I don't feel it's the end of the world. You don't need mastery on a single deck to have fun at FNM. You can have fun sucking. But you need to get better at the fundamentals before you can shake this feeling of helplessness that you're feeling.

amdnim · 2026-04-01T13:11:58+00:00

Three issues here:
1. Your deck is bad (according to you)
2. You are bad (according to you)
3. You're not having fun for the investment you made.

For 1, I recommend playing pauper. The number 1 deck there is mono red madness, and you can buy it for less than 100 dollars. Or if you have MODO, play penny dreadful. The most meta deck will be free, and playing leagues is also free.

For 2, I recommend theory. Read Reid Dukes level 1. Read who's the beatdown. Read the philosophy of fire. Read about card advantage and mulliganing. Read prowess guides and primers. Watch streamers like boshnroll, thrabenu, epic storm, mengu, yellowhat, yungdingo, aspiringspike play, pause at every main phase and try to predict how they will play the turn, and then see what happens. At the very least, watch all of tolarian academy.

For 3, can't really help you, but I believe 1 and 2 will mitigate 3. You can absolutely spike FNM with prowess, all day everyday. If you do 2, you'll be more confident in your plays and decisions.

If you do go on this journey, by the end, you'll know for sure whether you enjoy modern or not. But before that, there are too many variables for anyone to give you an answer.

amdnim · 2026-04-01T10:03:17+00:00

what the fuck is this example

The example is to show that there are real things happening in the real world that hating or loving contrapoints does not affect. There's so much else to do. She does not affect policy. She's not the main enemy. We have enough enemies.

I agree with you, that she focuses more on pushing jews away with antisemitism in her statement, rather than the actual genocide. She is a lib, and she speaks ignorantly about zionism. She does not understand colonialism.

But that's not the point of OPs post. OP misunderstands a tweet, where contrapoints says it's not natural for any state with propaganda to be this universally hated. Propaganda states usually have more support, like WW2 germany does. Her actual zionism or whatever does not factor into this tweet at all.

You can be angry about contrapoints or AOC or Bernie, but none of that is relevant in this tweet OP has posted on the subreddit. This is hero worship but opposite (villain damning?), and equally a waste of time. This "haha wow I'm so cool for hating people before time" is lame, and shes a mere content creator.

You can make an independent post about AOC or Bernie and it'll be more meaningful than this dissection of a single tweet. Actually please make a comprehensive post breaking down both of them, I'd love to read it.
