For mtg I made a commander deck specifically for teaching new players. Put a lot of work into making it approachable, lots of options with clear cause/effect, and a few lucky cards that can pull a win out of nowhere against better decks. It doesn’t have consistency but especially when people aren’t paying attention to the new player it can give some satisfying wins to help keep the newbie excited. People forget that you need someone to be excited or they’re not going to want to play again and you’ve just burnt a future shared interest

I purposefully slightly tilt most my wall hangings. I like watching guests squirm when they mention it and I do nothing

It’s a good thing everyone learned their lessons from the last plague and we are now unanimously on board with various precautions and vaccination. This’ll all blow over in no time

I really hope they do well but unfortunately it’s Idaho…

Numbers from the article if you don’t want to wade through everything:

• 105m monthly Spotify listeners
• 283m Instagram followers
• 32.8m TikTok followers
• 95.2m Xitter followers
• 58.2m adult (18+) swifties in the US
• Napkin math estimate of a billion-ish worldwide fans

We are unbreakable!

Did your cousin’s friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?

I’ve been setting myself up to move out of country for a few months now. So I’ve been planning since before the election but it used to be “if I make it cool if not I’ll find my path here” and now it’s more “I’m getting out of here with or without a plan”. I know I should want to stay and fight but my body is aging, I’ve been fighting for so long, my trans ass is one of the first on their kill list. My last offer to help the people around me is I’ve got the savings to keep two people alive a couple years so maybe someone I know can escape with me

Sounds space inefficient just add more people instead

Simple solution is to pack enough people in that they can’t move like that

Not exactly legal but it’s pretty common to ask a friend for a couple doses. If you can find a good professional though I’d advise that. You can get a diagnoses and they’ll have you try different meds to see what works well for you

A few months ago I was in Taiwan and accidentally tried stinky tofu. It was pretty good actually! What happened was we were up really early in the morning before the stall’s smell set in and I grabbed a snack. I honestly don’t know if I could eat it with the smell as strong as it gets but maybe if I grabbed some and brought it to a different location it would still work for me

My ex spouse got an app that gave alerts every time there was anything going down in our neighborhood. They went from cautious to walk around at night to “omg we live in a crime riddled hellhole with people being murdered everywhere” and stopped going outside. People now have access to so much information, often explicitly designed to make you fearful, and we suck at statistics

Yeah it’s about the only silver lining of my life right now so I’m latching onto it! I’m pretty excited that it’s even a possibility for me should be interesting if it works out

Idk Idaho is way too blue in this to be believable

Who’s out there buying death becomes her did I miss something?

I love how every time we get a better look at them black holes slap around our current understanding of things

I’m not sure I understand the reaction, mind explaining?

My cat would have broken everything in this picture to get there including somehow the handrail

I made blackberry jam for the first time this year. I saw the suggested sugar to put in and was blown away, used 1/3 of that, it’s still quite sweet
