  • I pick up every call I’m aware of. Scammers, phishers, polls, and everything else. I love messing with people, and good luck with getting accurate poll results, I have a dice rolling app I use to answer the questions.

    It’s even on a schedule for me now. The ‘TV company’ scam calls around 5pm to try me out, polling places seem to be weekend exclusives, and rarely I’ll get a noonish jingle from some other random organization.

    About 40% of the scam calls automatically disconnect after 8 seconds, and the rest I get to play with.



  • I played the stock market game in grade school and noticed this one stock, BRKHA that was moving thousands of dollars daily (and was occasionally dipping into the hundreds). Considering the others would only move a fraction of a dollar daily it was a goal to get one share for the game. I did and ended up winning.

    I should have tried to pressure my parents into at least one share. By the time I was 18 it would have been worth 70k, and these days it’s up to… Nearly 700k per share.

    I would’ve likely sold it on my 18th birthday and been able to languish a bit longer than I did. All in all it wouldn’t have been worth doing.


  • Take away the pirates and they’ll have to pay!

    Or people will just not watch movies… Which is far far worse than the pirates as there will be no drive to watch new movies. Having viewers, even if they don’t pay immediately doesn’t mean those people won’t eventually become paying viewers. A non-viewer will never pay.

    I should also probably mention the last movie at a theater I went to see was ‘the boy and the heron’, and that was the last piece of movie media I’ve watched.




  • It’s a good, relatively short time. It was made for two main reasons:

    • my playgroup often has 5 or 6 players.

    • it’s a call back to my mutually assured destruction first edh deck from the way back times.

    Most games do not have more than 3 to 4 different things out at any given time, rampaging ferocidon is apparently a second partner as I’ve pulled it early for the couple of games I’ve run this deck with. It is very weak to most interaction, and doesn’t really do much without the commander.

    My most recent game had three descent into avernus’ out. That was a nice clock for people to realize they’re on.




  • Well yes, that’s how it’s done these days with these pull rates. Those cards are going to be significantly rarer than they have any right to be.

    Why is Ral fine to be in the normal set but all the rest aren’t? Why couldn’t they just make some other set symbol for those cards that still only show up in collectors? it will be less confusing down the road.

    Hell, outlaws of thunder junction had 4 separate set symbols throughout it not counting list and special guest. Two main with an elusive third doesn’t seem like it’d be all that taxing.









  • Asexual. There’s a lot of us around these parts for whatever reason.

    There are levels and layers to sexuality, with some being absolutely disgusted by the idea of anything romantic related at all, while I’d say the opposite end of it being those who are actively willing to engage in sex, but don’t get anything physically out of it themselves.

    The biggest thing to note from any asexual person is the general apathy on the importance of sex as a thing to experience. Being one myself, I can’t really claim to know amazing it is, but I can guess that if it’s what some people think about constantly, get addicted to, and continue to engage in after having enough kids that it’s financially impossible to support them… It must be pretty good for some people.
