You're describing monarchies lmaooo

Time gets shorter. I've already experienced this going from my teens to my twenties and into my thirties. I can remember entire weeks of my childhood. By the time I was in my mid twenties, days and weeks blurred together. Now it's like months go by and I don't even notice.

People talk about it more as they get older. Eventually when you enter your 80s and 90s, it's like entire decades can come and go. So imagine when you're immortal. If you've been alive for 100,000 years, that's longer than writing has been around. Entire civilizations will have come and went.

But from your perspective, it's all a blur. Entire genealogies were experienced, yet those people barely registered in your mind. If you had a favorite food, maybe the recipe disappears when you went four centuries without eating it. Jokes and fashions you're familiar with are completely alien to everyone else. Are you even capable of noticing when things change at that point?

There's also the question of how human are you? Everything and everyone would seem inconsequential. Would you even be able to socialize with others, or would you be completely sociopathic? That's if you don't hurt anyone and get tossed in a jail cell. What happens if you spend a few centuries in prison? Fight in multiple wars? Would you even feel the slightest discomfort when you kill someone?

Okay but if we use "Late stage capitalism and the quest for profit above all else is causing the quality of goods and commodities to drop while their value stays the same or goes up," it's going to result in 20 minutes trying to explain things correctly followed by 20 hours of anti-communist arguments.

I inherited this pet peeve from someone else and at the same time, developed the pet peeve of inheriting other people's pet peeves.

Counterpoint: Agu is volseal and will let you smooch him if you ask nicely.

Then you get the women who hate ethnic minorities, foreigners, sex-positivity, other religions that aren't their own denomination, and LGBTQ+ people more than they hate sexism. They will put up with misogynistic bullshit if it means they get to be racist and homophobic.

There's probably more of the former, though. Like you say a lot of them trick themselves into "being the exception," often because their partner is nice to them specifically.

:kelly:

Nobody ever criticizes me for being straight IRL so I have to do it all myself :cri:

You weren't kidding. This guy is one of those "I used to support gay rights but then they said I couldn't use slurs anymore so now that's why I'm a conservative."

The guy plays Starfield if you want another target to bully lmao

EDH's banlist needs a complete rework. The problem with the format is fast mana (artifact mana especially) and tutors. Banning Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt was a good thing. And the same needs to be done to Mana Vault, Chrome Mox, Lion's Eye Diamond, Demonic Tutor, etc. Then a lot of cards could be taken off. Sway the Stars is a 10 mana sorcery. If you let your opponent resolve such a card, you deserve whatever comes after it. Cards like Upheaval are only a problem because of cards like Sol Ring and Mox Amber.

EDH players and the RC don't want to swallow the hard pill it's currently a $5,000 turn three format. If you want it to be cheaper, there needs to be more viable strategies instead of goodstuff piles using staples tacked together. If you want it to be slower, you need to ban things that allow consistent play patterns.

Prismatic was the "big deck" format for years on MODO and it's what EDH could be with the right banlist. People played with four copies of Darksteel Colossus and would hard cast them into play. That was only possible because Prismatic understood the power of cards like Tooth and Nail and moxen. EDH players want to live in some magical Christmas land where they can use Vampiric Tutor or Survival of the Fittest, but not have anyone do anything broken that ends the game on turn two.
