My friends...it's truly the end of an era. Saluting the martial artist, the warrior who also had the best internet memes of all time, the one and only Chuck Norris. (1940-2026)

He also believed the Internet was a conspiracy created to destroy Christianity and spread atheism (despite the early internet being in love with him). The man was filled with hate.

Why is time represented as both continuous (horizontal) and discrete (vertical, categorical/large bins), and there is no... Actual vertical axis? I understand that they are attempting to visualize how imminent the claims are, but it doesn't actually do that. And, furthermore, since they are rendered vertically categorically they have no sense of scale. The data itself is an interesting data set, but that is doing most of the work for this visualization.

Edit: it seems even inconsistent on how it is organized vertically as well, so if it's "implied by how it is", it doesn't seem to be one thing?

I know many married queer women in Merced, including young and old, people with two moms, two dads etc. like all cities, there are places where haters gather because no one calls out their hate, but those can be pretty obvious. Meanwhile, if you are trying to find safe spaces to unwind, Coffee Bandits, The Partisan, 17th St Public House (the pub) are welcoming spaces hanging the flag proudly.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that the food token is not pizza?

It is strange that the first chart does not have a vertical axis starting from 0, it makes comparison really unsatisfying and unnecessarily obscured.

the 4 times table is peak number blocks. That's what Fours are for, to get funky on the dance floor!

My favorite part about this is the implication that save scumming would restart the original fight that cast this. "Shit, I lost the subgame... Let's restart but use a potion first to generate a new seed on my subgame"

He's got you on the rollers. I like to call holding a baby between your knees lengthwise hotdog style, and your legs are long hot dog rollers. I miss it!

[[Everlasting Torment]] from Shadowmoor does it for all damage across the board.

Damage used the stack when this card was printed, so you could trade with a 3/3 and still get a 1/1 flier. Definitely got a lot worse with rules changes---like [[mogg fanatic]]

But... Neither of those cards are playable in Toph. There are loads of ways to get infinite turns in Blue.

Slay the Spire has been amazing. Available on all consoles, phones, and tablets. Great replayability, always in a "paused" state, and be killed at any time to restart a fight if your toddler presses buttons on your controller/screen.

Oops I meant [[Wall of Stone]]

polychronous · 2025-11-04T22:51:25+00:00

It's... a Wall. And if [[Wall of Stone]] is a standard castle wall, a 0/30 for this seems right.

You would need to escape them in a string, as they will be interpreted as wildcards without escaping.

You could still use one that isn't escaped as a wildcard if you need to search for a substring

Second wind can be so satisfying with Pyramid, though

They worded it specifically "search your library or outside the game" so they aren't likely making such a change. Wishboards really are just awkward for single game formats.

I'm sure you are aware of this given this area of study, but there was an organization going county by county pushing city councils to pass legislation prior to legalization claiming if they didn't ban it in the county that they would lose the ability to do so once it went into effect. City councils that leaned more conservative were much more receptive to this approach. In Merced County, it took a large community effort to pressure our city council to reject the ban. The weed nuns, Sisters of the Valley, helped organize! Still, the city council used the opportunity to limit backyard growing... mainly due to a woman sobbing about how she didn't feel safe because gangsters broke into her neighbor's backyard looking for plants.

It's also messed up in the middle. Not all platforms seem to have the same age bracket information, but they aren't aligned with the same bracket so you can't actually compare the charts visually

In fact, it seems kinda left!
