The most frustrating incomplete series ever. I can’t even recommend the first two books to people in good conscience anymore.

So," Chronicler said. “Subjunctive mood.”

“At best,” Kvothe said, “it is a pointless thing. It needlessly complicates the language. It offends me.”

The Monarch approves!

Can’t remember how old I was exactly, but I realized that the labels signed by Santa were awfully close to my dad’s handwriting, so I asked him to write Santa on a random piece of paper and compared them and confronted him.

I was a weird kid. I’m still weird. But I used to be, too.

Ooof, he must really be desperate to be opening Strixhaven

I’ve been out of the game for about a year, I got exhausted of perpetual hype and all of the Universes Beyond stuff. I don’t mind the occasional set like that, but getting more non-Magi IP sets/releases in a year than in-universe ones is too much IMO

That, plus WotC printing mostly for commander and/or ruining modern with MH2&3.

It probably doesn’t help that I hate the “free to play” gaming model, and so I refuse to get Arena.

It was definitely Throne of Eldraine (Oko was a mistake!) where things just got crazy, but War of the Spark did not help by dumping like 50 other new planeswalkers into the pool and giving them statics.

Basically, the tech isn’t there to power it, and also the “barrel” breaks down way faster than traditional guns

First day back at work after two weeks off, so…. you can walk my dog? He’s pretty bored

I’m not sure how much research you’ve done, but a quick search of “Facebook addiction peer reviewed” shows plenty of results for science backed research into Facebook addiction and the negative impact of being chronically online/on social media.

It’s also probably worth digging into dark patterns used by Facebook and others to keep users coming back/focused on their feed.

I’d also be prepared for the counter argument: “governments are only using Facebook because that’s where the people are”.

I’m sure I wouldn’t go, even if they paid me, given how they are treating citizens.

There is some scientific backing to this. Basically by isolating ourselves in these little bubbles of death, we stop seeing the other people as people and this removes any moral/societal blockers to descending into a pit of rage and calling for the termination of their bloodline, death by inept firing squad, etc.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing. Wise (formerly TransferWise) is a pretty big player in this space.

You get a bank account in each currency you want, and you can do transfers between currencies all within their service.

Same as it ever was
