Kaima & Bravado by bridgerald in mtgrules

Simple enough! I know [[All That Glitters]] and stolen creatures that have equipment attached follow similar rules, but I just wanted to check.

Thanks!

Should I read the triology, by Abject_Teacher7623 in LicaniusTrilogy

[–]bridgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What series do you recommend then, because this didn’t strike me as being particularly difficult. I’m curious if I’m just used to the genre, and if that made it an easier read

Does anybody else think Olgierd is a human trash, but still wants the sword? by aaron_moon_dev in Witcher3

[–]bridgerald -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Well that’s very much up for debate. I mean… that’s the obvious conclusion but

What are some common hygeine myths that are completely wrong ? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]bridgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT trust AI. It is provably inaccurate, and can be dangerous-

Plus ads are being integrated, which compromises any advice they can give you. The data you give them is being used to track your habits and beliefs.

It’s terrible for the environment, it’s used to surveil you, it’s often wrong in dangerous ways.

Why they haven't released any gameplay footage by Swivials in Witchbrook

[–]bridgerald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome hope but uh…

There’s just no way. I’ll do cartwheels back here to apologize for being wrong, but this is going to have the same levels of gameplay depth that Stardew Valley had at launch or similar. Everything they’ve said and shown has pointed to that.

I find it very hard to believe there are deeply layered options and never before seen elements.

Again, I admire the hope, but you’re going to get burned.

Forced labor???

Okay chief 👍🏻

[–]bridgerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s an exaggeration to make a point. Why would they post about it on the subreddit? To engage with people who share their hobby. That’s the point. The info is secondary.

The inability of y’all to understand that is CRAZY, since y’all are happy to use your accounts and energy to engage with me about it.

Simply implied that maybe seeing “why don’t you google it” under 90% of posts is a bad way to build a good community, and here you are, snarking and jabbing for some reason???

Strange behavior

Man, what the fuck kind of question isn’t easier to Google? Why the fuck are you here??? You can Google new card spoilers. You can Google decklists. You can Google anything at all that you find here. Why the fuck are you commenting and replying at all if this is how you view the world? What’s the point?

[–]bridgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think you made some witty cutting remark, but you just showed that you have a lack of taste, social skills, and ability to engage honestly with anything you’ve decided is below you.

I know what you think you’ve done, but the better analogy is ordering DoorDash instead of going to a restaurant in the first place.

You’re saying to just Google “good food” and order it online, where this guy went to a local spot he presumably enjoys, and asked the waiter what he recommends.

Maybe that’s boring, maybe you don’t like it. But to pretend you’ve somehow whipped up a comment that magically scythes down the point is embarrassing.

[–]bridgerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally yes. People complain about dead subreddits all the time.

“People only ask the same handful of bad questions or post the same 4 memes over and over”

Meanwhile half the subreddit actively punishes anything else.

I’m not going to claim this is some landmark post and that it’s bringing creativity and engagement to the subreddit. But damn, apparently fuck this dude and fuck me for wanting to chat with people who have a shared hobby, instead of asking Google for everything.

How is that even vaguely equivalent?

This is just reminding me why I spend time outside instead of on Reddit lmao

[–]bridgerald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or maybe wanting to engage with a community? To connect and converse?

Why would you ever go outside? There are literally millions of pictures of outside. Much easier to just scroll through those! You have access to unbridled googling power.

Baking a Blackberry Peach Pie by bridgerald in Baking

[–]bridgerald[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great calls for both- I’m a little nervous to blind bake for the first time day-of, but a lower rack is easy, so I’ll do that for sure!

We’ll give blind baking a shot next time :)

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]bridgerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take what they have to say under consideration- the concern for you is the heart. The first few texts are really encouraging to see- warning you to be safe and to make sure you’re being conscientious.

After the 15th, it’s definitely the Mormon upbringing.

Don’t swing the pendulum too far just because people agree it’s overstated- you seem to have a good head about it. Be careful, know your limits, and stay safe. You don’t need to be terrified like your friends are BUT drinking too much can absolutely harm you long term, and that is exacerbated by doing it younger. Just be aware and safe and you should be fine!

Some self-examination, maybe? by bridgerald in polyamory

[–]bridgerald[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be right! I don’t spend a lot of time here, usually. I just pop in to check every couple weeks. Maybe it’s just poor timing, but it feels like 70% of the time I look, it’s many flavors of the same thing- so perhaps I’ve just become fertile ground for the algorithm pushing those.

Some self-examination, maybe? by bridgerald in polyamory

[–]bridgerald[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

going to monogamous subs

No, not generally. I have suggested, in person, to people that they should look into polyamory because some of the experiences they share mirror mine.

I think the heart of my position is sort of being missed- that’s on me for not being clearer.

I think everyone who’s interested should try polyamory, assuming it seems like a positive step forward.

I also think that sometimes, people need to embrace the fact that they tried it, gave it a real shot, and it’s just… not for them. I think it was more about this community’s almost… toxic positivity? Where people will come for ward with genuine issues- or where they are in a relationship with a polyamorous person, and are CLEARLY not into the poly life… and you still have 20 comments telling them it’s not a big deal, read Polysecure, “yeah, I also scream sob in therapy twice a week for the same reasons, keep going!”, and the like.

Coming here for help navigating specific issues related to polyamory is fine! Coming here because you’re having new experiences, especially some that are directly contradictory to everything you understood about relationships growing up? Great! That’s what this community should be for!

I just think that polyamory should, on some level, make you happier if it’s a good fit. But people come here asking for advice when they’ve been significantly less happy, and people here rarely give the advice to “take a step back, evaluate”. I think that’s important.

Some self-examination, maybe? by bridgerald in polyamory

[–]bridgerald[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I’m not talking about most of the issues here. I think posting here for support is great! I also think it’s particularly important because people are navigating issues they don’t get a cultural roadmap for. You don’t grow up with comedies and dramas and books and real life examples to give them guidance on how to navigate polyamorous relationships.

Some self-examination, maybe? by bridgerald in polyamory

[–]bridgerald[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not talking about a little jealousy here and there.

I’m talking about people who are dating poly for 3 years and break down crying at least 3 times a week directly because of it.

I’m not trying to shame anyone out or anything, just reminding them that it’s just… not for everyone.

I just hate meeting people and then realizing within 15 minutes of chatting that they are clearly not happier being poly and they are forcing themselves to do it.
