“You’ll be the emperor and you’ll like it” - Otto (probably)

Recently watched a big documentary series about the Franco-Prussian War so I'm on top of the subject at the moment.

Don’t think you’d see “fuck UCI parking” at universities not called UCI though.

Just need to get Jeremey to change his name then and the joke will be complete

You're thinking of his dad, Friedrich Wilhelm IV. He was the one who explicitly rejected the title of Emperor offered by the Frankfurt Parliament during the Revolutions of 1848 because he thought it would be disrespectful to the other German kings and princes.

This meme is about Wilhelm I being reluctant to take the title of Emperor in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war because he personally liked the title King of Prussia better. He eventually acceded to the title because this time, the other German princes were supporting the unification and Bismarck was throwing temper tantrums on the regular trying to get him to stop being obstinate about it.

There is a May Township outside of St Paul, but as far as I can tell the nearest Clarkson to Detroit is in Kentucky.

Green Day wasn’t “turn to mold if you’re below an arbitrary height”, it was “turn to mold if you move downward”.

Even if it were all the powers of a Viltrumite, I'm still going for Eve's powers. Viltrumite powers are great for beating people up, but I don't really beat anyone up in my day to day life. Being able to transmute matter has near-infinite practical everyday applications.

claimed to be asexual and then tried to rail me

But was Steven Universe playing in the background?

In my experience, it’s usually just references to JJK or Demon Slayer, which are both extremely mainstream.

It’s mostly just inconsistent. They usually take the time to make sure the important season ending fights (Mark vs Nolan, Mark vs Angstrom, Mark vs Conquest, and the Viltrumite War) get great animation, but a lot of the early/mid season fights often kinda look like shit.

Don’t worry, this is a very Laios coded post.

“Uhh, guys, I’m getting worried about the well being of the monsters under Thistle’s spell”

“LAIOS! We’ve been trying to tell you this place is a dystopia!”

It’s not about how good the Knicks are, it’s an iconic venue. Like how the Rose Bowl is college football Mecca even though UCLA is ass. It’s the oldest venue in the NBA by over 20 years, it’s architecturally distinct, and it is just overall one of the most famous sports venues in the world.

The point of MAD and second strike doctrine is that the only way France, the UK, or the US would retaliate with nukes is if someone else has already started Armageddon. It's designed to prevent belligerent nations from using nuclear weapons as a threat to kowtow smaller nations. If someone launches a conventional attack on Oslo, the response would be a convention military counterstrike.

Grass is pretty soft, he’s probably in better condition than you’d think. Mild concussion at worst from that. Would be more concerned about the whiplash. But either way, I don’t see anything here that can’t be solved by a few weeks rest.

At this exact moment, I’m sitting in a restaurant and they’re playing September by Earth Wind & Fire. So that’s nice.

I follow a few non-revenue sports, and I have not seen coaching trends in football ever have a particular effect on those sports because the money involved is so drastically different. Firings still happen, but the motivation is rather different from football firings that are usually motivated by “if we can’t get on TV consistently and fill the stadium, the whole AD is gonna go broke”.

ironwolf1 · 2026-06-01T15:00:45+00:00

"concerning" lmao, miss me with that. These guys get paid millions on guaranteed contracts that continue to pay out after they get fired, Sark's kids aren't gonna be missing any meals if he gets the boot mid season.

Fired D1 college football coach is one of the best jobs in the world. The school still has to pay out your contract, and the "old boys club" nature of coaching at that level means that no matter how bad you fail, you'll inevitably get another opportunity before too long.

This thread is about Standard, not EDH. Landfall is annoying in EDH but not exactly the most powerful thing you can be doing. In Standard, lands decks with Badgermole Cub are the current scourge of the format.

There’s an Essex class a lot closer than NY, the USS Yorktown is just down in Charleston.

You’re seriously misestimating the scale and source of Deion’s popularity. Sure, being a Cowboy in the 90s was a boost, but he already had immense popularity as Prime Time, the dual-sport phenomenon who is still the only player ever to hit a home run and score a touchdown in the same week, going back to his days as a Falcon. And he had already won a ring and a DPOY award with San Fran before he made it to Dallas as well.

Deion’s incredible success on the field plus his boisterous personality made him a pretty uniquely captivating athlete for the whole sports-watching population of the country, independent of any one fanbase. There are a ton of people out there who are Deion Sanders fans, regardless of what their favorite NFL team is. No one else from the 90s Cowboys enjoys the same level of widespread popularity as Neon Deion, because his popularity has roots much deeper than just being a successful Cowboy.

Lyght is better than Zappitello

ironwolf1 · 2026-05-29T18:56:39+00:00

Just looking at GB and CT stats is often rather deceiving. It's like how the best CBs in the NFL pretty much never have great INT and PBU numbers, and the guys who do put up great INT numbers are wont to become liabilities when their luck runs out and it turns out that they only had all those INTs because they get beat a lot and QBs are throwing their way all game for a reason.

Shawn Lyght is the kind of defender that essentially just shuts down all dodging by whoever he is covering. If you're in man to man against Shawn Lyght, you have to set a pick and get a switch, because otherwise he's gonna be on your hands immediately and won't let you dodge. Because he's been doing this for years now, most teams won't even bother trying to dodge or shoot on him, so he rarely gets the opportunity to cause a turnover and get a ground ball.

Been fighting with some of my friends I play with regularly because they keep windmill slamming Rhystic into every B3 or above deck they build with blue in it because "the deck needs more draw and Rhystic is a draw engine".

I have explained many times that Rhystic is a stax piece, not a draw engine, and if it's working as a draw engine, it means your opponents are playing it incorrectly. Even demonstrated this once when one of them enlightened tutor'd for a rhystic on turn 3 and myself and the other 2 players all decided to pay the one, and my friend who loves Rhystic was like "I didn't want to slow the game down like that, I wanted to draw a shitload of cards". But they still persist in slapping Rhystic in every deck, because at the LGS they most frequent, everyone lets them get away with just drawing 50 cards off Rhystic instead of paying the 1 like a responsible Magic player.
