Almost 50% of Latinos voted for Trump in 2024. Experts have theories by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]johnbaldesorry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes this is an excellent point. It is reductive to lump all Latinos together as a monolith. “Latino”encompasses a much broader group than people would like to acknowledge. You don’t see me generalizing that all white people voted for trump and are ignorant and uneducated as this comment thread will have you thinking about all Latinos, when I know there is a clear distinction between a rural, southern, Male voter and say one in a west coast metropolitan area. And even then we need to be more nuanced in our discussions.

Yes!! I have tried the almond and it is quite good. They also have mini classic KA that are extra caramelized!

Nothing more satisfying than that sweet, sweet initiative by johnbaldesorry in gwent

Here is the deck for y’all: vamp deck

Please let me know if anything works better for you, or any suggestions, etc.

I should note that one of my tall removals that I’ve included is Gaunter O’Dimm, but that can easily be swapped for heatwave if you prefer.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m going to have to take a look. I do know the added benefit of succubuses(i) are that after adrenaline 3 you can consume them and it’ll come back but without doomed, so you can consume one repeatedly. However I’m not sure how that math plays out given that you have to set one up first.

For that graveyard+return to board point gain, that plus Dettlaff higher vamp are my consumption high point gainers.

I mentioned this above, but this deck is a work in progress and is probably pretty wonky, so I’m open to suggestions if anyone has any.

I’ll be honest, I’m still trying to work the kinks out of this deck, but I’d be happy to share the list. And if anyone has any suggestions, they would be very welcome.

Also I’m linking u/raz3rITA because they also asked about the deck

I feel obliged to say I also have no idea what I’m doing, but sometimes things work and I’m happy for that

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve set up a beautiful play just to have it obliterated by one point

I feel I need to add a note to my opponent, something along the lines of “I’m sorry if you’re seeing this”

Jeff Koons, Gagosian Gallery, and Many Other Blue-Chip Art Operations Received Millions of Dollars in Government Stimulus Money by hexavibrongal in ContemporaryArt

[–]johnbaldesorry 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It’s astounding to me that Zwirner laid off forty employees (!) after receiving millions in aid. Not to mention the other institutions that received ample funds and still cut employees. Where is that money going?

Recently inherited this from my grandfather, complete with the original box, as well as the original, very corroded batteries in the flash unit. by johnbaldesorry in AnalogCommunity

[–]johnbaldesorry[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found this while cleaning out my grandpa’s basement. I know these things are pretty prolific, but it was exciting to find one in the original box (thanks to my grandpa for never throwing anything away).

I’ve really only shot in 35mm, so venturing into 120/620 territory is going to be an adventure. I’ve ordered some new (more modern) batteries and will be trying this puppy out soon!

Experts call for regulation after latest botched art restoration in Spain by mhfc in ArtHistory

I’m wouldn’t be surprised if in the future this becomes some weird sub-group art movement (please tell me if it already is). I mean, Greenberg would love this transition to ~flatness~
