The thing people don't realize is that Florida Man happened because Florida has a law that guarantees free public access to government meetings, which includes police reports. Florida Man exists everywhere, it's just that Florida tells us about them.

I believe his point is more about how many people (or bots) that are very vocal about American politics are not American, than the content of the take.

I believe the main training data was from an opt-in bonus for scanning pokestops/gyms so people did know; as I recall, the bonuses weren't that amazing and a bunch of people would submit junk data to get the reward without actually scanning the object.

I don't have a problem, I can stop building decks any time I want to. (This doesn't include at least a dozen decks that overlap on color identities.)

I know better than to actually piss you off; and I mean, I have a custom domain handle, so I know that I'm very much not actually anonymous beyond any other opsec failures over the years.

Hah! I am totally anonymous, and I will prove it by provoking @kathryntewson.bsky.social - clearly the best move possible.

Fair enough, the last I paid a ton of attention to playtest cards was the original Mystery Booster, grabbed a Slivdrazi Monstrosity as the Fun choice of Commander for my Changeling deck.

For that matter, there's an official policy that they aren't allowed to make Employee Vanity Cards anymore - although I expect they could in Unknown Events, and there's some wiggle room because my uncle's vanity character from Alpha got referenced as recently as DMU.

My favorite story of those "list skills you have" systems was when my dad was updating his LinkedIn... They have that system where you can endorse your connections on their skills, so it asked him "does Guido van Rossum know Python?" to prompt an endorsement.

Adam Baldwin has been heavily involved in the current shitshow that is "conservative" American politics since at least 2014 when he possibly coined the term GamerGate for misogynists trying to force women out of gaming, which is a movement that turned into the alt-right and Trump's faction.

Founders Fund - Wikipedia
The set designer being present at the event - possibly even hosting it? - is an issue, not just the person he took a picture with. Founders Fund is Peter Thiel's fascism-funding venture capital firm, so this is a very well known political connection.

(The credit card companies are, actually, almost as upset by guns as they are about porn and it is similarly difficult/expensive for gun stores to accept payment by card.)

Yeah, you declare the ability, pay the costs, put the ability on the stack; a creature died, triggering the ability granted by thornbite staff, which is then put on the stack.

The image from https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1bpue7q/my_redacted_trouble_in_pairs/ redoing the artwork from the Murders at Karlov Manor Commander printing of Trouble in Pairs with the stolen artwork replaced with redactions that state the names of the original artists those pieces were stolen from.
The original MKC art for Trouble in Pairs was a collage of other artists' art; I don't know if the axe and right arm were yet another artist's work or if they were actually original.

Stairs buried in so much snow that you can't tell where the steps are anymore
Back deck with over a foot of snow, partially cleared
Digging a path through the back deck
Snow blocking the front door from opening this morning
Luckily, so far no power problems and I was able to find someone with a plow truck to clear the driveway rather than trying to shovel literal tons of snow. Front steps still need to be cleared but I can get out via the garage and actually drive places if needed.

Yeah, I don't blame you for being unfamiliar with mutate - I built a Mutate commander deck and some of the "fill out the rest of the deck because there aren't enough things with Mutate to make it work on its own" is abusing things that make token copies of themselves so that's one of the lines.

At my college, a lot of the computer science class would have their laptops open. One day one of the professors got on the topic of shock sites. One of the more sheltered naive students didn't know what they were. Long story short... Luckily for him the nickname "Lemonparty Boy" didn't stick.

5, because B5/cEDH is engaged with the metagame; you're probably running more removal (and different answers) than a B4 deck, even if it's not currently competitively viable.

Out of curiosity, did y'all do something that fixed this or did it just start working again? Tried opening the game without doing the workaround this morning and it just worked.

Ahh fair, I'm used to thinking of more of the Deep Blue type purely mathematical ones rather than machine learning ones. (Didn't realize Stockfish was ML-based.) But mostly I had to shit-talk LLMs, really cement my position of being doomed by Roko's Basilisk.
