Just armor and also can’t cast spells. And they changed it to “Armor Training” now, but still proficiency for weapons? And the Martial Weapon Training feat gives you Martial Weapon proficiency? Gah

Yeah, Emirates might use this route. But US airlines would avoid Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and Syria, which forces then to fly much longer and approach over Iraq and across the Gulf.

The format balance is healthy but it’s just boring seeing the engine/staple cards for so long. Beans and Rage are perfectly fine power-wise but they just set the deck types way too much and everything has to conform to those cards. Sure, the threats have changed but the framework is stagnant

Good bans. I still hate long standard but not much to be done about that.

There are many protests, more than there were in 2017, but they are mostly smaller in attendance. The difference is the media coverage. And you are right, there hasn’t been a single event like the Women’s March that has broken through to international coverage.

This sounds great. If you end up writing something for the other commenter using a Linux server and the Messenger bridge I would love to hear if there were any pitfalls to avoid!

Yeah there is some cool and powerful stuff in the set but there are just too many tried and true strategies. I don’t think I’m a fan of this long rotation.

Surprised there isn’t more oculus in the top 8. Didn’t realize overlords were still so dominant.

Pretty notable that there are almost no Aetherdrift cards in these lists, though that graveyard deck is pretty cool - it just looks way too fair

I think it refers to a cap (hat), because culturally when you take off your cap it means you are being truthful. Similar to the term “hat in hand”

I looked into it more and seems like the origins of cap meaning to lie is unclear. So looks like I was off base

That’s exactly where I’m at too. The side plots are more self contained and feel easier to plan since they don’t have to tie in

Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one…

I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately and your comment is interesting. Your first sentence is definitely phrased in a more controversial way than the rest of your comment, but I can’t help seeing it as very similar to “Being depressed is a choice the vast majority of the time, and I have a huge bias against depressed people.” Is that an unfair comparison?

I know that treating fatness/obesity as a disease is kinda controversial but I feel like folks give people dealing with mental health a lot more grace than people dealing with health issues related to being fat. I’ve also heard that for some people they can be perfectly healthy at a higher weight (though this is clearly not the case for many fat people who are seeing health impacts). I guess I’m assuming that a lot of fat people would potentially like to be less so, but can’t (for any number of reasons) quite get there. This seems really similar for me to people dealing with depression, anxiety, etc who want to change things but keep falling back into the problem.

I guess my question is do you have bias against people who can’t escape other bad cycles like mental health or even stuff like alcoholism? Or is it more just that you think it’s fair to judge people without the discipline/willpower to get out of a state they didn’t want to be in, like you did.
