@jakeformayor@MartinJuza@fireshoes Surely there’s a difference between ‘packs aren’t entirely random such that no pack can contain multiple pieces of power’ and ‘every pack in this draft has a fixed composition and is identical to the packs in an entirely different draft’?
It is farcical to claim that they intended for the Equality Act to render the Gender Recognition Act useless, and that the country has spent the past 15 years applying them both incorrectly.
This whole thing is bullshit from the court case through to the EHRC guidance.
@affinity4anime@reedi310 Yeah, I was very uninterested in the TMNT set but after seeing people say it was good mechanically I decided to try a draft on Arena - the draft went really well, but I was just so turned off by the art every time I resolved a pizza monstrosity that I couldn’t enjoy it at all.
@MattConlan2@BretDevereaux No, no, his grandfather was the actual homebuilder. He got kicked off the homebuilder’s board, then ran ‘retweet this to win big money’ giveaways, then started hosting conventions for memestock people who think their cancelled Bed, Bath and Beyond shares are infinitely valuable…
fuck absolutely everyone involved in getting us to this point, trans women are women, trans men are men, non binary identities are valid and sex and gender can both be changed "biologically" if any such meaning can be usefully attributed to that phrase
i wrote about this when the supreme court ruling hit but basically these cowards won’t even commit to their transphobia; they try to thread a needle of depriving us of gendered citizenship indirectly, while avoiding stating that explicitly, because it sounds so obviously gross
terrible. 20 yrs ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely ppl will create free, public info
@GutokuEijin@ZeroPointer125 Which isn’t a use unheard of in British English (Winston Smith from 1984 lived in ‘Victory Mansions’, for example, named after London’s real-world ‘mansion flats’), which makes him insisting that it actually has an entirely different meaning in both languages even weirder!
@JerryTaylor@DeptfordWife1@DuncanStott What have we been giving left-liberals to like of late? We keep rolling over on social issues like online privacy and trans rights, while economically it's all 'oppose Labour's [fill in the blank] tax' rhetoric or procedural stuff like renaming the Treasury - not hugely inspiring
@mugiwara_vt@libbysalt …because being able to get two turns ahead on resources on turn one is obviously ridiculously good compared to pretty much anything else you could be doing, such that it’s banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage?
before big tech made the internet a corporate hellscape, it was quaint and free and full of ordinary people (with souls and everything!) and the slop was wacky and homemade just like mom (and David) used to make. there's so much to mourn! makes me sad and angry!
@nestapendragon …you made what sounds like a cool deck with cards you like and fun play patterns, and people got so mad that it had a strong combo in it that now you can’t ever play the deck again?
