i’m also like 90%+ certain he further skewed the details by putting the chart temp in Fahrenheit because humans don’t exactly experience 120C.

This is fucking great. A+.

I just love it when an asshole believes so deeply in their own superiority that they don’t just destroy their own credibility, they confirm the opposite of the case they’re trying to make. Couldn’t be better if it was a psyop.

this is the move for the “joe rogan for the left” Hasan is too left for the group democrats have in their plans.

[vx-underground @vxunderground]

he is very silly. all of his content, retorts, comments, etc. are carefully crafted and calculated. i dont know how to articulate my thoughts, but basically he tries to paint himself as edgy and "different" politically because he swears and admits to being a drug addict.

its very, very silly. it makes me giggle when i read his comments. however, when you "look inside" (insert picture of silly cat here) youll notice all of it is a charade for ... something. i dont know his objective. i dont know if he wants to make a political run, or get clout, or find a way to profit and sell more artwork, but he very clearly is doing this to drive engagement for (???).

in conclusion, fancy man says silly things, larps as non-rich privileged guy, but there is a catch-22 somewhere and i dont know what it is. most likely he will capture the youth (millennials, mostly, the youth are on tiktok) and democrat party will use his large x presence to combat conservative people on x to then push the audience to support whoever democratic party wants in 2028 or for local stuff

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald When one area has a 20% margin and another like i don’t know NOT SELLING MERCH OR ITEMS THEY PRUCHASE are negative margin it helps to balance out.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald Like I said just above this replay and the one before it. Trades are one of the few areas where shops can pad margins and actually make income. THAT INCOME IS USED FOR THINGS LIKE PAYING PEOPLE, EVENT FEES, BUYING OTHER SINGLES, and that isn’t including the fluctuating prices

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald like that’s just bare basics top of the head. That doesn’t cover any actual math of what they have to pay in other business expenses, but like bare bones 2-8 dollars on the significant majority of trades is fucking nothing. There’s a reason there aren’t a lot of lgs.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald 1. That’s just on singles which is one of the only areas where they have wiggle room everything else they have to compete with big box.
2. 20% Profit on singles that are $10-20 is literally $2-4 i don’t know what store you think is shelling out thousands of singles but they arent

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald Jesus fuck you dense mother fucker, The 20% on trades does not equal their profit margin on the shop, holy fuck. You think businesses just fucking mark everything at the same % over their purchase to equal a profit. Do you even know what the fuck you’re saying at this point?

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@idkwhatuser63 @GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald Oh wow, this is a special kind of illiteracy.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@GmotherfuckingP @SolofJoshxbox @NGaming88 @ChefGreginald Because 5 percent of $100 is $5 You’re a fucking morning if you don’t know how the fuck business size, service, and OE aren’t variables in that “average” jesus fucking stupid.

@HarrisRjh077 @queenie4rmnola No, and that doesn’t change the fact that your stance on what did or didn’t help the economy is highly flawed. Sincerely, a veteran.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@HarrisRjh077 @queenie4rmnola this is not the win you think it is. The government taking the bill and paying millions of people more than the minimum wage, opening employment for hundreds of thousands more. Like, none of this is the way you pretend it is.

Magic: The Gathering writing has a short half-life. Historically-important articles are taken offline every year. This sucks.

That's why I'm launching Library of Leng, an index of 32 years of Magic writing. 150k+ articles, 20+ sites, fully searchable.

Sligh decks were always one of my absolute favorites.

[Sol @targetplayer]

Today in Magic history, 30 years ago:

The concept of Mana Curve was unleashed upon the game by a 'goofy' red deck at an Atlanta Standard PTQ.

Paul Sligh tore through a field of mono-black Necro and green-white Geddon with draft chaff greater than the sum of its parts. 🧵

@overflowyouknow @leche_loves @RobTeeVee it’s what happens when you actually talk to people. break out of that comfort zone and grow.

@tomoznow @yawaramin @iamharaldur ahh i love when a fucking idiot runs out of things to say. It’s like watching a toddler struggle to put an insult together. you may as well have said i’m a mean poopy head.

But please, continue to be an idiot for my amusement.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@tomoznow @yawaramin @iamharaldur you’re free to be an uneducated fuck wit, but your perspective that we can just bomb anyone is fucking deranged at best and is the reason most people think americans are insufferable. this is wrong and illegal on so many levels.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@tomoznow @yawaramin @iamharaldur what fucking part of the US has no authority to just bomb countries for what they do inside of their borders? like what?

also everyone knows war sucks the “war” in iraq was over a fucking 7 years before we left. a peacekeeping mission of destruction

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@tomoznow @iamharaldur like i’m not even talking about the invasion itself. i was there years after the invasion and the amount of wanton destruction that was deemed necessary was atrocious.

[Colloquial Silence @tragiccommons]

@tomoznow @iamharaldur Absolutely Saddam was a terrible person that ruled with an iron fist. That was not what we did there, the regime was crushed within a week. Besides that point, we aren’t a global police, and have plenty of relations with leaders as fucked up, like please read more about it.
