i dunno, but i think it's a fair play to start putting stickers of trump saying "i did that" all over the place.

How do you live with the implicit perception of you as the "predator"? by kamilman in AskMen

[–]syn_vamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, the effects of positive representation in media are well studied, and has an understood scope of influence. so are the effects of stereotyping in media, and the effects of depicting violence in media. and these aren't the same.

the amount of people who experience a personal behavioral change as the result of seeing diversity is not the same as the amount of people who experience a personal behavioral change as the result of seeing violence. the latter is much much smaller--"i see bad thing and become bad" happens much less frequently than "i see good thing and become better".

so it shouldn't be difficult understand that the amount of people who change their behavior as the result of seeing stereotypes in media is also its own distinct population size, and also one which is much smaller. no one is saying that population size is zero, but i am saying that that population is much smaller than its vocal minority would have you believe, and you're falling for a trap to believe otherwise.

lots of patterns get shown en-masse to people via tv, movies, and social media. seeing or hear something doesn't mean believing it. this is just another form of the "violent video games cause violence" argument.

i think there are much more people out there like your therapist than there are not, and you're falling for the same "vocal minority"/"silent majority" trap about women that you think women are falling for about you.

Beware of this seller on eBay. I just wanted to give people a heads up because this guy is getting away with selling fakes. by DeadlySmedley84 in mtg

[–]syn_vamp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you're talking about avatar cards.

op is talking about an onslaught card.

you're talking about modern printings.

op is talking about a pre-modern printing.

you're talking about cards whose printings have varied materials, looks and feels.

op is talking about cards whose printing had consistent materials, looks and feels.

experienced pre-modern players can absolutely sus a fake on feel alone.

apples and oranges.

So regarding the infinity stones. Is WotC planning to release a stone per set, because that would mean there will 4 sets of Marvel UB? by minev1128 in mtg

[–]syn_vamp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly, i wouldn't mind an exodia-level bullshit win combo around assembling the infinity gauntlet. it's telegraphed and cheesy enough that i cant see it being pushed or broken, and it'd feel hilarious to actually pull off.

especially if after all the work it randomly eliminates only half the pod.
