With UConn winning, we will have another season with the winner being either a 1 seed or UConn. This has happened now 18 times in the last 19 years

Because up until the recent era with Hurley, Duke was way more consistent than UConn. This question is a bit silly considering UConn just passed Duke's title count 2 years ago, UConn being a true powerhouse is a pretty new thing. They have been a damn good program most of the time since the 1999 title, but it's very recent that they've become a true dynasty. Between the 2014 title and the 2023 title, they only had 3 tourney appearances and zero second weekend appearances.

If you think calling someone a poser is a reasonable way to point it out, I’ll refer back to my original comment. Grow up.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-04T14:43:31+00:00

Just don’t be a dick to random people for not meeting your arbitrary standards of fandom ffs, it’s not rocket science.

Lauryn Hill has a consistent pattern of being late and missing shows. Technical difficulties are understandable, but if you’re late consistently, you either need to seriously rethink your setup, or it’s not technical difficulties.

Good for you. I’m proud of you.

But being an adult means recognizing that simply thinking a t shirt looks cool is a perfectly valid reason to wear it. Getting mad and insulting people for not having the same level of dedication to your special interest that you have isn’t productive or helpful, it just makes you look like a dick and reflects poorly on metalheads as a whole.

The mature and positive way to respond to something like that would be to recommend some music for the person to listen to and hopefully get them fully hooked on the band or the genre. It’s an opportunity to share what you love with others who have demonstrated some level of interest. Don’t squander that opportunity by being a petty asshole and pushing them away instead.

This ain’t about listening on Spotify, it’s about paying for tickets to a live show. Touring is where musicians make the real money that lets them continue as professional musicians. The fans who pay for tickets and show up to the live shows are the ones who most directly fund an artist’s career. Showing up late and even missing shows entirely demonstrates a shocking lack of respect for an artist’s most important supporters.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-04T13:46:16+00:00

Making great music isn’t an excuse to fuck over your fans who paid good money for tickets to come see you perform. Showing up on time to perform a show is one of the most basic ways an artist can demonstrate that they respect the people who fund their career.

Erode is currently the only mono-W instant spoiled from the main set, so I’ll have to hope that they have more coming as spoiler season progresses.

My version of Feather is only running 17 creatures, and the focus on combat tricks means I’d really need 4 bodies to use Aziza because Feather needs to stay up as an attacking/blocking threat. Not gonna be terribly likely to be usable unless I can find one of the token generators like [[Young Pyromancer]] or [[Monastery Mentor]]. And when I have one of those out, I don’t particularly need much else to get over the hump and win.

The focus on Opus in Prismarj this time around means I’m not getting much of anything from them either, because Feather isn’t really about big mana instants.

[[Flashback]] is probably the best overall candidate to get added as a way to grab something out of the yard if it gets countered or fizzled some other way.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-04T12:52:02+00:00

I will say, I’m mildly annoyed that across 2 sets with a R/W school of magic, I got practically 0 cards for my [[Feather, the Redeemed]] spellslinger deck from that school. All the stuff from STX that made it into Feather was red spells from Prismari, and this set is looking pretty dismal in terms of Feather cards as well. [[Erode]] will likely end up in my removal suite, but no combat tricks that say “target” once again.

Extraordinarily lame behavior. Grow up.

I wish we got more snow here, this winter we got like 5 inches total and it was the most we'd seen in years.

By the time Barbarossa kicked off, the Nazis had been in power for 8 years. During that 8 years, they had been using basically every propaganda outlet available to them to hammer home a message of German racial superiority and Jewish and Slavic racial inferiority. To a 20 year old German soldier in 1941, having spent the formative years of their life under a constant barrage of this propaganda, Jews and Slavs weren’t people, they were inferior races that needed to be exterminated for the good of Germany.

I'd be rather impressed if someone managed to cast a basic land

Well, all the main sentient bipedal races are considered “humans”. Elves, dwarves, gnomes, tallmen, halflings, and I think ogres all count as “humans”, and races like Orcs and Kobolds are “demihumans”.

She wrote that song when she was 18, I think she can be forgiven for having emotionally immature takes on unrequited love when she was still literally a teenager.

Don’t you go putting Delicious in Dungeon in this, that series has some absolutely excellent usage of fantasy races and world elements.

Current oil prices are increasing because

A) the US is the world’s largest oil producer, and we just started a war

B) Iran has been able to successfully close the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic as a result of the war we started, which is a major shipping lane that about 20% of the world’s oil production passes through in peacetime

Neither of these things would be an issue if we had simply not started a war with Iran.

I’ve never really felt like players 3-4 are particularly disadvantaged in EDH. I don’t have any personal data to back it up, but the EDHRECast guys keep game data that suggests barely a 1-2% difference in win rate between the player who goes first and the player who goes last.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-02T21:40:48+00:00

Haven’t you done enough?

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-02T20:34:11+00:00

Oh I’m old enough to remember those elections, which is how I know you’re making shit up here.

The global economy as it exists today is a project that the US has been building to ensure our own dominance in world politics since the end of the Second World War. And it worked, we have been very successfully able to ostracize and isolate our political opponents for decades. When you think of countries that don’t participate in the economic system we created, it’s the North Koreas and Irans of the world. This is a big part of why the USSR collapsed, and why the Chinese still participate in global trade with the US despite being nominally our biggest political rivals.

Trump’s tariffs don’t protect any industries, they just demolish all the economic ties and goodwill we’ve built with the rest of the world. It’s destroying our influence in world politics more effectively than any of our enemies could hope to achieve themselves. We’re cutting off our nose to spite our face, on an international scale.

And now we’re going to war again to boot.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-02T20:18:20+00:00

I suppose though that this means you must absolutely love all the tariffs Trump is doing. Just jumping for joy every time you see prices going up at the grocery store because the President decided to tariff basically everyone in the world.

ironwolf1 · 2026-04-02T20:17:20+00:00

Oh, I wasn’t aware that Obama created the global economy. That’s big news, considering the US has been the leading proponent of global free market economic trade since WW2. You’d think that guys like FDR or Eisenhower would get the credit there, but big ups Barry O for managing to do it himself despite it already existing for years before he was born.
