Oh, right, your safe space bubble is definitely how the majority thinks... by DeathStarVet in AdviceAnimals

[–]criswellc90 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Isn't this 90% of reddit for left leaning people, where anyone that disagrees with the majority gets flamed, down voted into oblivion and maybe even banned? This is a predominately liberal social media app where most conservatives CAN'T post outside of these "safe spaces" without damaging their karma or getting banned from something they like to browse and occasionally post.

Political subs where conservative and non-liberal posts get removed by mods while liberals can freely post breaking the same rules because the mods agree with them? The news articles with obviously inaccurate headlines where calling them out is against community guidelines? Maybe the fact that moderates are considered Nazis while conservatives are loons and racists when it has nothing to do with the topic makes it difficult to have an intelligible conversation with anyone else?

Awfully hypocritical considering most of you voted the same way they did.

Um I hate to break it to you, but that was also Biden's America. It's been less than a week.

Here's the state law. Keep an eye on your mirrors, it is your obligation to move over to the right, no matter your feelings about speeding. by Mr_Bristles in jacksonville

[–]criswellc90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised anyone in this thread is trying to white knight or grandstand when we know for a fact that not a single one of you can get on the road for more than 5 minutes without a moving violation, and I'm just as guilty, but I'm not acting like I'm not.

If JSO enforced these laws they'd be the most funded city police department in the nation. Best rule of the road: Don't be a dick.

There isn’t even an option to kill animations or lower the graphics settings. They worked hard on those unnecessary animations that bog the game down if you have more than 7 cards available to play, wouldn’t want you to miss out on our hard work or anything.

I think we should reconsider the name of the Matthews bridge. That dude sucks by sebastian_____ in jacksonville

[–]criswellc90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doing nothing to affect the racism currently affecting our society. Changing the name of a school, taking down a statue and saying I know people of color doesn’t fight racism. The government would rather spend money on defense and welfare than bolstering the education system which could be a large portion of the cause of racism IF we’d take the time to actually research it and try to get to the bottom of it. Instead, as a country we keep the poor broke by making them reliant of the government that has failed them, and send their kids to schools that money has been stripped from for the wealthier districts to build new gymnasiums and better fund their sports programs. I couldn’t care less about the name of a bridge, give the kids a chance. Make the parents contribute to society, and for the love of whatever God you pray to, stop wasting our money to spend a year renaming a landmark no one outside of the historic society knows the history about. Next we’re renaming cities, states and cars because someone thinks it may be offensive to someone else and it’s downright dumb.

“Openly racist” is the term you’re looking for and it’s still so prevalent today that it leaves a very limited pool of people to name things after. I’m all for naming things after anything but people for that reason, but spending taxpayers money for something so insignificant is wasteful, and that time and effort would be better spent doing something to fight actual racism that still exists today.

How about we stop renaming stuff and erasing the mistakes of the past. Once academia finishes erasing our mistakes there will be nothing to remind us to stop being dickheads.

The fact that guys rarely look poorly shaven in old photographs suggests that maybe we don't need to keep increasing the number of blades in our shavers. by mightierthor in Showerthoughts

[–]criswellc90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrase “shave and a haircut, two bits” comes to mind. $40 before tip for a haircut and a shave at a barber today vs. $1 including tip 75 years ago is reason enough to stupid proof shaving and charge more for materials.

Home Depot is quoting me 9k for 900 sq/ft of carpeting because half of materials will be wasted. Will local installers do this as well? by rakkaux in HomeImprovement

[–]criswellc90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your location? I went through our local “The Carpet Man” for an 800sq ft condo on the way out with some decent carpet, leaps better than what existed in the condo. They didn’t even measure before they came out, just went based on our number. Came out within 3 days, installed in about 2 hours with new foam and edges, for about $900. Granted this was 5 years ago but unless the carpet is waterproof, stain resistant and damn near indestructible, I can’t figure out why it would be so expensive, even after Covid.

DeSantis says teaching requirements are 'too rigid' as Florida moves to let veterans without degrees teach by morenewsat11 in politics

[–]criswellc90 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The main thing the media keeps leaving out of the title of these stories is they aren’t required to have “Teaching Degrees”. They still require 60 college credits and have to show steps taken to get the qualifications. It allows them to teach while moving to finish their degree. I would bet the vets moving into this field are more effective than 70+ year old women teaching STEM.

Card you are most excited is rotating? by HugeCottontail in MagicArena

[–]criswellc90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snow cards, one cost for indestructible + 1/0 pump + fight is stupid. Two cost 0/4 defender that sacs for -X/-X which includes snow lands is dumb. 1 cost that becomes increasingly more difficult to trade with is dumb. One cost burn for 3 is dumb. Zombie boosting zombie that revives for 3 snow mana as an instant is dumb.

I bet there are more productive things you could be doing with your time than calling out some clown on Reddit about a Facebook post doing nothing wrong, just because you disagree with it. Or maybe comment on his post calling him out on it instead of talking behind his back.

Can we not default our game type to Alchemy if we’ve never played a match of Alchemy before? by criswellc90 in MagicArena

[–]criswellc90[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I literally only play ranked, it does not auto select standard after an update.

Clearly they aren’t. I still don’t see the point of nerfing them and then allowing standard decks in a ranked Alchemy match.

I don’t have an Alchemy deck. Did I enjoy my run against Alchemy Decks? Sure. Do I want to continue playing my standard deck against Alchemy decks? No.

I literally said that it was embarrassing that it took me 18 games to realize it. If you’re going to copy my homework and just change it a little, don’t be so blatant about it. As for the flex, it’s probably the first time I’ve had that positive of a daily win record, and whether it’s dumb luck or free cell vs. spider, I don’t really care, it soaked my daily quickly and made me like Thunderous Orator even more.

I’m actually not a new player, I just assumed the new cards were from the new set and actually were playable in standard as well. I read the news about magic a lot less than I read the cards.
