I'm rested and I'm ready to begin.
If you have love in your heart let it show while you can.

@theramblingfool After covid, I no longer have any faith in our scientific medical community. I think so many of our studies are profit-based, that truly understanding medical science suffers greatly.

@tlewis3348 @BonkDaCarnivore @SultanSantis 1) it's inconsistent
2) I get the impulse to make politically plausible small steps, but...
3) 1st trimester abortions are 93.5% of abortions, small steps are abandoning a lot of babies

@theramblingfool @kareem_carr I would genuinely like to see what Kareem could do with the data if he corrects for age.

[BlightningFTW @BlightningFTW]

@theramblingfool @kareem_carr Maybe a better way to say that is the argument isn't very strong if you have to put sig figs on your list of complaints. The confounding of age is the best case for faulty use of the data, imo.

@o7_o7_o7_o7_o7 @CarlosQ1234 @theramblingfool @MartinJuza I'm not playing devil's advocate, that implies I don't believe what I'm arguing for. I believe people deserve second chances, even in a children's card game.

On the scale of things, this is much lower stakes than someone who is convicted of a DUI and is still allowed to drive.

@MechanicalStove @FrenchGooner23 @ItzWitchDoctor @nahdascringe @Horesmi @dileminy @fakehistoryhunt @Zailebon They're using data (from CDC probably) that shows the leading cause of death in US children is drowning, comparing that to say 30-50% of Europe dying to the black plague, and suggesting modern times are quite a bit safer. It would be hard not to agree.

@SaffronOlive @antropy_rr Check out the Avett Brothers if you've not heard them, specifically start with album "I and Love and You". Would also recommend Band of Horses.

@JoelLarssonGG Alternative: eliminate turns. I'm assuming that's the primary issue here, that five turns ends up being 15 extra minutes.

[BlightningFTW @BlightningFTW]

@theramblingfool A: Yes

@AJwasRight1776 @twit_ings @GhostedPepper @franktankwalker @ScottAdamsSays @jakeshieldsajj Right. "Never strongly or weakly encouraged them" Come on, that statement at the very least will weakly encourage, even if that was not his intent.

[BlightningFTW @BlightningFTW]

@twit_ings @AJwasRight1776 @GhostedPepper @franktankwalker @ScottAdamsSays @jakeshieldsajj I would consider myself slightly pro-scott Adams (fairly unbiased), and I would consider that statement to be encouraging getting vaccinated

@theramblingfool Same, my arms always give out long before my chest feels it. Same with benching.

[BlightningFTW @BlightningFTW]

@theramblingfool Someone giving you a real program would probably suggest 3-5 sets to failure. Every other day. Depending on your aptitude this is more like 2000 in a month. 8000 would be a lot, but achievable.

@BenS_MTG @sickofit @bmkibler @fireshoes I think the miss is that the PR hit isn't worth the sales on this product. But maybe I'm underestimating how much of this they'll sell.

@WonkyWombat1 @SaffronOlive When I make a limited deck, I take my 2 types of land and mash them together to "weave" them, then mash my lands with my spells to "weave" them. Then I shuffle quite a bit to sufficiently randomize them. Seems reasonable to me that everyone would do similarly.

[BlightningFTW @BlightningFTW]

@WonkyWombat1 @SaffronOlive I guess I don't see what the point of policing the starting point before shuffling when a) you can't really police it, and b) both players then get a turn to randomize to their heart's content afterwards.
