@mtg_ds Not much? This card would be broken in pretty much any format

@TolarianCollege For me commander is for casual fun, limited is my competitive outlet (I adore limited, I’d definitely pick it over commander if forced to choose)

@NathanUnger19 @SkoomaBoofer @mtg_ds In the word “graveyard” in the reminder text

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@SleepyKorro In addition to the implications that she’s not actually dead, it’s a direct parallel of Isha’s death, willingly giving one’s life to save someone they love (with a hextech explosion no less), which I think makes it feel more impactful, since Isha is such a big part of S2 Jinx

Also the black rose/medarda subplot I think will feel really out of nowhere and confusing for people who don’t know a lot about league’s lore. I think one of the best things about season 1 is that it was easy to follow and connect with without any knowledge of league whatsoever

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

Arcane season 2 was really good, but realistically season 1 felt much better polished. Honestly feels like they crammed 2+ seasons worth of plot into the same length as the first season, so it ends up feeling rushed. Still well worth watching though and really good overall.

@Zeltik Really loving it, only minor gripes are that (similar to TotK) the echo selection is a bit tedious/clunky, and while I get it would make the combat summoning mechanics basically obsolete, having limited sword form time makes me never feel good about using it on normal enemies

These methods are equivalent (I’ll grant the “new” method perhaps has slightly more cumbersome notation, but if it helps someone think about it correctly who cares). The main difference in the speed of solving this video is because one person is an adult and the other is a child

Obama's Common Core was the final nail in the coffin of public education.

This is how they teach math now:

@SaffronOlive My favorite is probably plot demonic ruckus -> plot slickshot show off -> play them out attack and monstrous rage. Real big brain stuff right there /s

@dumbbinchtryin She’s also dumb, the thing clearly says banned WORD, the only difference between those names is the word “Wh***” (a slur that I would never type on a website like this that is famously strict about the use of slurs). Clearly it has nothing to do with the phrase

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@dumbbinchtryin No right wing grift included, so algorithm will probably ignore lmao (but actually if you’re soliciting advice I bet there’s a reddit that would be more helpful, I find asking questions on subreddits is usually fairly fruitful)

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@dumbbinchtryin I don’t really care what this guy thinks about things, even if he’s predicting a good outcome. He was predicting a Trump win and saying that Biden dropping out was a bad idea like 2-3 weeks ago. I think anyone who believes theres a consistent theory of politics is delusional

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@itslaurenkj The name “Kamala the Unburdened” popped into my mind and it sounded like a boss from the game Elden Ring so I thought of the scenario and tweeted it

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@dumbbinchtryin I don’t care enough to scroll back on his feed, but I swear I’ve seen him making similar posts saying he was 18 like over a year ago, so if it’s not parody it’s at least clout chasing, anything but genuine really

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@JoINrbs I think that is a little reductionist at least in terms of the modern uses of statistics (not to say it isn’t used toward racist/sexist/etc. ends sometimes though). I was mostly just agreeing with your pointing out that thread was using statistics in a counterproductive way

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@JoINrbs I feel like all the statistical analysis of this hypothetical is missing the point of it. It’s not meant to be a rational consideration. The point is to elucidate the real (and valid) conditioning most women have toward men… but also, it makes fragile men mad, which is funny

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@itslaurenkj Damn you went to Wells Fargo national park 😮

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@dumbbinchtryin Okay I agree with the sentiment… but the guy in the middle *is* right

[Aiden Harbick @AidenHarbick]

@itslaurenkj A gun

@dumbbinchtryin I’m pretty sure the image is AI generated also, like wtf is going on with the button on the jacket
