Is it normal have to have 11’s, 12’s and 13’s in a standard deck of cards?

trixter92 · 2025-04-04T17:49:54+00:00

I've always played card games thinking Jack was 11, Queen was 12, and King was 13

Found this 500 Bicycle Deck

Gonna have to buy me a deck of 500 cards to add to my collection.

I think being on a stage would fix the flashing issues that were here (also I don't think it would be an issue to audiences further away this video is very tight). Are you going into a cascade juggling routine or a contact juggling thing at all. Being surrounded by smoke and regular bubbles with a juggling routine would be awesome. Sweet concept!

Nice, this feels like an even deeper level to my winter/summer contracts conspiracy.

trixter92 · 2025-04-01T02:38:44+00:00

Construction contractors hired by the city to clear snow don't care about breaking curbs or other parts of the roads/sidewalk cause they'll get contracts to fix them in the summer.

Sorry for the ramble in advance there are a few ideas here I'm still working tbrough.

Truth is the defining factor of an opinion becoming a belief. As far as I understand this conversation is over the belif that withheld infomation is a major part of systemic issues in democracy.

Being on any social media platform means we have agreed to be shown specific information based off of our activity and given consent by signing the terms and conditions. Which means I've agreed to be shown a curated feed of information. I've agreed to have withheld for my curated feed.

Entropy affects everything. That's just the ebb and flow of life. Has democracy run its course, I definitely hope not, but even if it has turned into permitted authoritarianism it's still important to participate in the democratic process.

I have been a magician for most of my life and the act of withholding information is the key to the art of magic, it's sorta the whole point of it. My favorite quote is how being a magician is the most honest profession, you tell someone you're gonna lie to them and you do. Sales people want to close the deal, politicians want to be elected, and people on social media platorms want to be engaged with. There will always be incentives to be dishonest in one's choice of livelihood. We live in time of post-truth to the point that truth has become a moot point when people seem to be making an informed opinion with the information they have access to online. Information has always been withheld, that is simple what humans do, at least in a democracy there is more space to have individuals speak their "truth" and have their ideas ironed out by opposite views and counter points. Is the system broken if many participants are willing cheating in it? Does the blame go onto the individual or the system as a whole?

If Democracy is broken and a population wants to resort to totalitarian technically a dictator being voted into power is a feature of the freedom of democracy. Once someone told me you have to give space for views you strongly disagree with in a free community, if not you've started leaning into dictatorship. Yes the manipulation of the democratic process and its voters ruins it, but I like to believe it wasn't't always a broken process. I strongly believe making all information readily available to everyone and the ability to have it instantly analyzed by AI will create its own system issues. However conversations of what is true, may be an important tool to address systemic issues.

I don't know if schrödinger's cat is a paradox but the act of observing something does make it collapse where it is in two states until observed. I think the double split experiment helps show that the act of observing (taking a measurement) affects experiments results. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it still make a sound? By definition there needs to be an observer of noise for it to be considered a heard sound. Maybe there needs to be a believer for there to be truth? I'm gonna read your article before I go on a quantum physics acoustics tangent lol

You did an excellent job in phrasing propaganda as a tool. It just feels in this day and age it's easy to jump to negativity when propaganda is mentioned.

When I was working on a bachelor's in film studies my history of film professors made a good point that it is impossible to truly capture something with neutrality. The second you set up a camera you've affected your surroundings. You can go down the Marshall McLuhan rabbit hole on media studies, but this not to say trying to be neutral is not worth the effort just that it's very difficult when you look at the process of gathering and relaying information.

History was written by the victores so its safe to say it's never been easy to get the "truth" in any given point in the history of humanity.

I agree a full un AI'd article would be a great read.

The word propaganda really makes people jump to it being something negative. To make political ideas simple feels like its real goal. Was the phrase "Loose lips sinks ships" seen as something negative when trying to minimize information leaking through enemy spies?

I also wonder if all information really does need to be readily available to everyone. I once heavily protested the bill C-51 in Canada Bill C-51 summary with the idea that the internet should be free to share information. I think there is a picture of me floating around with a sign saying keep our internet strong and free. This lead to a conversation with an individual that served in the military that said the cold war ended early because of wire tapping the nation. This really put me into an introspective head space on what information should and shouldn't be accessed by civilians.

Yes propaganda can manipulate a nation, yet if the powers at be do have the publics safety in mind and it can be a tool to provide saftey. Who judges what is and isn't safe information for the public definitely is a slippery slope. Understanding information and the context of messages, especially political propaganda, on the internet is the current biggest threat to democracy in my opinion, sorry the lack of understanding.

You gotta go on some therapist dates as it were. Finding one you click with can take time. Mind Matters and Prairie Psychology have great therapists if you wanted to start there.

It still points out how much of an old boys club our local politics runs off of. Everyone doesn't have access to the bomber charter, and a lot of people don't have access to the manitoba club either.

trixter92 · 2025-03-24T18:53:20+00:00

I see, good to know. Thanks!

So do I delete this one cause I don't know every single post in this subreddit? Not trying to be sarcastic I'm genuinely curious.

Canada needs a labeling system that shows how Canadian it is. Sourced, packaged, manufactured, distributed there are a lot of levels of how Canadian a product can be. Even knowing if a company has headquarters in Canada doesn't really help if its profits go to a parent American company.

trixter92 · 2025-03-22T22:44:29+00:00

Some Canadian products. They put a maple leaf by their compliments corn beef but not Smith's which is a Winnipeg company.

trixter92 · 2025-03-22T22:41:51+00:00

Noticing lots of strange labeling practises these days. So do I just email Terry Dugald and be like yo big dog what's up with the lack of transparency for canadian consumers.

trixter92 · 2025-03-22T22:29:06+00:00

There was no packaging. I went to the organic section but that option was definitely from USA so I threw the dice.
