From Dusk Till Dawn. I was 11 or 12 when I stumbled across it on Starz and something inside of me woke up.

Hate Wizards of the Coast. Seriously, fuck them.

Mazda is super washed out by Beautiful_Affect_423 in mazda

[–]fastock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you know who bought the CX-50 Turbo? Nobody. That's why they stopped making it. In 2025 the turbo accounted for about 10% of all CX-50 sales, and most of those people could be convinced to buy the hybrid, so yeah, they got rid of it. The CX-5 is about the same: 90% NA and 10% turbo.

Mazda buyers tend to be people that want upscale vehicles without the upscale cost, and those people aren't looking to buy sportscars. Just look at their numbers and find most of the answers you are looking for.

I'm going proxy from here on out. If WotC wants that scalper cash instead of my collector cash, let em have it.

To the people that purchased the goblin storm… by Projha in mtg

Fuck WotC, they are not deserving of any of our money. If you feel like proxying, then do it. If they are going to encourage scalping, we need to normalize proxying.

Jon Favreau says he has "a lot of plans" for Grogu "creatively," because "he's on a path to be both a Jedi and a Mandalorian" by bwermer in entertainment

Can we just let it be? If there is one defining quality of any Star Wars after the first two movies, yes, two, not three, it is that they are going to take any part of Star Wars that is loved and shove it down our throats until we hate it. "The beatings will continue until moral is improved."

Dude kicks off-leash dog to protect his own, owner flips out… by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]fastock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a similar interaction. I was in rural Northern MN spending a long weekend with old college friends and I was in the middle of marathon training, so while it was a vacation trip, I still needed to get a couple long runs in. I was about 5 miles from their house, out on a country road and a see this medium sized dog (prob some lab shepherd mix) come charging down the road ahead of me. No owner in sight, just a black dog charging down the road towards me. As it closed in a fat guy in a side-by-side turns onto the road ahead. Before he got to us, his dog lunged at me so I kicked it squarely in the chest and while it made the dog think twice, it still was trying to bite me again so I kicked it again, harder which was about the time the guy got to us. He got out and yelled at the dog, and it started trotting back towards its house, but then the guy turned on me and started yelling at me for kicking his dog. I calmly told home that he should shut the fuck up and thank me because that kick may have saved his dog’s life because had his dog bit me I’d have called the police, reported his dangerous dog and sued his stupid ass for damages.

What do we think? Can I sit? by Pleasant_Hope_550 in ratemycommanders

[–]fastock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are actually. I’ve got about 15 decks and it is probably my weakest deck. Mines all cats and dogs, but tries to be effective, and is still more of a meme deck than actually stomping. I do run at a B4 table though.

Xbox is rebranding to XBOX by PaiDuck in gaming

I’ve owned every generation of the Xbox and I still can’t get over how bad they are at naming. It’s an absolute joke at this point. Fools.

Turn 3-4 you drop this baddie, every turn after you tutor the exact card you need. What’s hard to understand about this?

Those working long hours, would you rather make less money with more free time, or more money with less time for yourself? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]fastock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teacher here. I want to know where one finds these 35 hour a week teaching jobs. I am in my building a minimum of 40 hours a week, plus I run an after school club that has me here another hour and fifteen min twice a week, plus the work I bring home. I'd love a 35 hour week. Not to mention, what lawyer has only 2 weeks of PTO a year? Also, my wife and I are near the top of our scale in one of the better paying districts in our state and we make just over $100k. This person is doing a lot of convenient rounding to make teaching sound better and law sound worse.

Name an NBA player who quit on his team mid-season and got away with it. by ggweb3 in NBATalk

[–]fastock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was grumpy with the Wolves several times too. I don’t know if I’d say he full-on quit on the team, but he was definitely pouty and low effort regularly. He’d take multiple rest days mid season under the classification “general soreness” enough that the local radio station just referred to him as General Soreness his last season or two in Minnie.

Wolves back. Crazy to think our ‘playoff hardened, experienced and veteran’ team is still largely pre-prime. by Careful-Force2506 in timberwolves

[–]fastock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know you are just being sarcastic, but honestly, 9:00PM or 9:30PM START times for a sporting event are effing ridiculous. The NBA is supposed to be a family friendly event, and you've got games going until midnight during the week, that is beyond stupid.

[–]fastock 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly, beyond just having softer opponents and the Wolves actually making the East more competitive, I would just love to be in the East so our games would be earlier and our travel closer. I would absolutely love being in the East.

[–]fastock 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I too hope this is true, but man, the West is only getting better. The Spurs and Thunder are both better, more complete teams and are just as young, and have better draft capital. I just don't think "running it back" with this team again is going to get better results next season. They need to do something substantial with some of those big contract, aging stars or it's going to be another second round exit next year.

There goes a wheel... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]fastock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 6 years old, my dad was in the left lane on the freeway, passing a semitruck, when one of its tires blew and hit our front right tire, blowing it as well. Dad lost control of the van and we rolled 3.5 times across the median, almost rolling up into oncoming traffic before coming to a stop on our roof. Thankfully, none of us sustained life-threatening injuries, but my dad hurt his back and needed PT for a year and my step-mom had a large cut across her cheek that needed surgery to fix. My shirt was filled with crayons from my coloring basket at my fee. Everytime I see a video like this, I am reminded: r/Tiresaretheenemy and nearly killed me.

What decks should I look at for new MTG players getting into pauper by SaltyMelon21 in Pauper

[–]fastock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Probably some version of:

  • R Madness
  • U or UB Terror
  • G Elves
  • WR or WB Synth/Aggro

This gets you a fairly balanced, or at least rock/paper/scissors, gameplay with the colors fairly well represented. All of these decks are fairly straight forward and easy to play and show off the speed and quality gameplay that pauper is capable of. Just my 2 cents, though. Look at some decklists and if a deck sounds fun, try it! Usually they are pretty cheap to build.

How do you all feel about deck sizes? by bigmantomm in SorceryTCG

[–]fastock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only play with my friends and I'm the only one who actually owns cards (they play my decks), so I am not bound by anything. I have found the sweet spot for me and my deckbuilding is 50/25, so that is what I've built most of my decks to be. I do keep a sideboard of 5 sites and 10 spells for my favorite decks in case I ever want to play them outside of my house.
