  I’m bilingual in most of these things, but temperature… Fahrenheit makes no sense to me, I really need a converter to set my AC.

  As far as I understand, a bimbo is commonly a person that is superficial and put a lot of effort in an exaggeratedly hyperfeminine appearance, and people into bimbofication will sometimes want to be (or to look) dumbed-down to fit that persona, and I think this is what this post is referring to.
  The difference between graveyard and exile in this context is that graveyard for non-creature spells is like a pile of old memories that you keep and can still access, while the exile is like becoming non-existent or out of reach.
  Now that I look into it, though, I feel like the mill cards flavor is pretty fitting for the theme. Besides the mill and grind cards, it’s a lot of stuff that plays with your head, like “Mesmeric Orb”, “Mindcrank”, “Mindskinner”, “Fractured Sanity”, “Memory Erosion”, etc. While the cards that exile stuff from opponents libraries are less focused besides a few Faeries.

  It’s all about intent. Unless your opponent has Squee, the Immortal, Riftsweeper or Pull from Eternity in their deck (and no one does), when you exile their cards, if it’s not to play them with an Etali-like effect, they are gone for good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic the Goonening⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The graveyard can be seen both as a literal cemetery for creatures and as a a pile of forgotten memories. I think cards that exile the opponents libraries are closer to bimbofication, as the knowledge is then forever lost, rather than becoming memories of the past.

  I should be good at math any second now…

  They made it a video game?!
  I remember doing these things on paper when I was a child!

  “ne . . .po”? What do you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don’t know if I want to play if this is on the line⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It did, but the other way around. French people had a lot of influence in the last centuries from their proximity with other European countries, while Québec was secluded and resisted the english assimilation, that’s why the accent varies a lot. So french canadians speak a french somewhat closer to the language spoken centuries ago than modern French people do.
  Compared to american and traditional english, there aren’t as many words that are written differently, as french is more “organised” as a language, so there generally isn’t a need for a distinction. It’s all the same language, even if a few words are sometimes used differently.

  I think the point is that since these dollars are borrowed, they must eventually be repaid with interest, so on the long run, they will be removed from the economy and they don’t produce inflation like if it was free money. Now, if the government can just allow itself to get a greater amount of debt every few years and only pay the interest, it may lose its meaning…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which you already have to do, because there already is inflation. I don’t see how a UBI would change anything if the inflation stays the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the text says “you could actually get deflation because there will be so much abundance produced”. There is some reality where this is true, as increasing the monetary mass would do nothing if the economy (the amount of goods and services produces) also increases. But I wouldn’t bet on an universal basic income increasing the global production.

  Being a dating little person must be so weird because of that logic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"We're all in this together"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Achtually, a gas-powered car isn’t that far from an airplane in terms of CO2 emission per kilometer. But planes allow for long distance travels that you would never consider doing by car. It also depends how many people are in the car. Planes also produce more non-CO2 pollutants.
  If you were to choose between driving X km alone in your car or take a plane, both options’ environmental impact would be quite close.

  I think the birds aren’t real people have it all wrong.
  Given the level of technology needed to make anything fly, how are we supposed to believe in the original organic “birds” to begin with?
  Clearly it’s just a distraction from the real harsh truth.

  I didn’t know that. There is also LineageOS that supports a wider range of phones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just switch to GrapheneOS or Linux at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the social contract accepts that cars kill pedestrians and cyclists every once in a while for the sake of efficiency. It’s dangerous, it’s legalized murder, and we choose to accept it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always amazed to think that my life sometimes only holds to a red light and the drivers’ willingness to obey the law. If either were missing, only their will to keep their car clean could save me.

  As long as he repents he should be fine.

  They said goodbye at a given position and are then leaving each in a different direction. They are starting to move at the same time from the same point.

  Reinvesting profits in the organization is in theory much better than giving it to shareholders. In practice, most non-profit are quite poor, and yes, salary are usually lower than market. Partly because they can’t scale up by using investors money like for-profit do, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have nothing to lose but your brains⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, you can always go work for a non-profit organization. Your salary will be even lower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon teaches you about their culture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my culture is uniquer because it’s built on classism and wars against religions!

  It’s because they took the photo during a solar eclipse, of course!

  Yeah, no, I’m not duckduckgoing that.

  There was no repeatable sidequests too. Where’s the replayability?
