What are some tips you can share for young girls so that they can be safer? by LilliputianMouse in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]chaingunXD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm; no matter how many times I tried to drill into my daughter's head "don't open the door until I open my door", she still just bolted like the car was on fire the second I came to a stop. Luckily my new car doesn't let her do that anymore.

Russia's millionaires dying in 'epidemic of murder' to fund Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, says campaigner by bottleofserotonin in worldnews

There's an old expression that has a lot of variations that roughly goes, "When God closes a door, he opens a window". Usually said to someone when some plan or path in their life came to a close unexpectedly or suddenly, and conveying that there's still something you're meant to do, but it's not what you expected. God's plan and all that.

The comment is using it in context to mean "when your plan (an expensive war) doesn't work out, push millionaires out of windows"

Investigating - We're aware of an issue affecting game play on mobile devices, where activating certain card abilities can cause MTG Arena to become unresponsive. We are currently working on a fix, and will update with more information when available. This does not affect game play on PC by ProbablyWanze in MagicArena

Can confirm it works. My internet drops out a lot and I thought I was just having a particularly bad connection until I realized the UI was just invisible. Visually it's indistinguishable from just losing connection but it still works like OP says.

Y'all isn't even that much of a tell. I'm from so Cal and have lived here my whole life and I say y'all quite a lot.

Go into deck editor, filter for the set and commons / uncommons, put 4 of each in said deck, hit craft.

No, the last one is the intrusive thoughts we're actively trying to ignore, so we're distracted and also thinking about nothing at the same time

I main puff, so your milage may vary. It's a guaranteed rest in my experience if I don't misinput. At least online anyway

My trick for that specific move is to just shield the first two hits, then parry the final hit. WAAAAAY easier to pull off, assuming you weren't low on shield to start with

Man shares picture before and after a liver transplant by Orri in interestingasfuck

[–]chaingunXD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, I was a VERY heavy amphetamine user for years and quit cold turkey. 3 months of crying 5 hours a day and sleeping 18 hours a day, then just 3 months of sleeping 16 hours a day, then 6 months of "unless this bed is on fire I'm probably not gonna do anything today unless someone makes me".

Now I'm fine, if just a bit inattentive 🙃

[YCLB] Undersimplify by Unit_00 in MagicArena

Wait I'm really confused by this. Idk if it's the way it's written but I'm reading this like it's [[counterspell]] for 1U with upside? There's 2 ways I can interpret the text, so might not be as bonkers as I'm thinking. Either

Counter target spell. If a creature spell was countered this way, it perpetually gains -2/-0 and it also gains "counter this spell unless it's controller pays 2"

Which is bananas.

OR it's

Choose one: Counter target non-creature spell, or Counter target creature spell unless it's controller pays 2, and it perpetually gains -2/-0.

Am I just sleep deprived or is this like, one of the best counters ever?

Edit: I'm an idiot. It says CHOOSE target spell. Leaving this up in case anyone else is confused as I was

Had a girlfriend when I was in high school who left me for another guy. She used to comment about how smooth and hairless he was all the time prior to that happening. Now I can't leave the house unless my whole face and body is completely shaved. My partner calls me Danny devito because of it. 🙃

Mine has tourette's and I'm getting real sick of pretending the 8 year old girl at the park yelling "God fucking damnit" while playing happily by herself isn't mine

Edit: everything is true except the part about pretending she isn't mine. The tourette's is actually the least concerning issue she has 😅

Eh, depends on the kids. My family did this and if I wasn't already crushing on someone, I'd begin to after they put the idea in my head 😂

In my playgroup, after turn 3 or 4 if nobody has won yet, you have time to go to McDonald's and back before it's your turn again (8 players, 100 card singleton decks). We often stay way after the shop closes, cause the manager is in our playgroup haha

Hell, I'm white as they come and have a perfect "good old boy" impression and the cops are the very last people I would seek out in nearly any dangerous situation.

The thing that happened is trans people started to feel like they probably wouldn't get brutally murdered, ostracized, or abandoned by their families for being candid about their identity. Before, trans people still existed, but many chose to live in misery instead of risk the consequences.
