One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

I just realised how much MTG related coverage there was on Reddit.
For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣
They did find the One Ring card from their new LOTR set recently. Some shop is paying $2 million euros for it. I desperately hope someone throws it into a volcano a la Mount Doom.
It sure would be nice if any MTG mention is promptly spammed by Magic the Gathering content and buried. I don't even play MTG and I'd prefer to have my feed taken over by it! Fuck yeah, nerds--get your game on!
(Disclosure: I am indeed a nerd, too.)
Reminds me of the time I spent in 2020 wondering why all the right wingers were so mad at the Bureau of Land Management.
They are mad at the Bureau of Land Management.
Basically, they're mad at everything.
The western land issue is one of the chief things that makes them popular out west. There's more federal land than private and state combined.
Their sense of entitlement when it comes to public lands is unreal.
If someone else owns more of your state than your own citizens, do you really have a state? It's easy for us to pontificate in states where there's hardly any federal land and the issue is reversed. There needs to be more federal land in the East where ecosystems mean more and less in the West.
Wow this is literally against her first and second amendment rights!!!1!
When will the Biden/Clinton/Obama's end their reign of tyranny???
Wait, was it because she's too fascist or not fascist enough?
Define Fascism.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
What doesn't make sense to me is why Republicans are called Fascist. You say that it involves a "centralized autocratic government", but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement.
"Severe economic and social regimentation" that doesn't make sense either considering the liberal states are having a mass exodus in favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If "Fascists" are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states?
"Forcible suppression of opposition" Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol.
Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦♂️
PS: Trump sucks
Just addressing the "almost has the same GDP as California" statement
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_GDP
Nominal GDP 2022 California: $3,598,103 million USD Texas: $2,355,960 million USD
Per Capita GDP 2022 California: $92,190 Texas: $78,456
?????
It's a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US's peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It's not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live.
A bundle of sticks tied together.
Probably neither:
"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.
"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."
What did she say about boebert?

Edit: looks like the curse filter Broke that link. Just google “mtg called Biebert a little” and you’ll find it.
Let's see if the curse filter works on post outside of tankie.ml
Damn, it looks like it still got you.
Let's see if that gets filtered.
It's not filtered on my side: https://lemm.ee/post/755914

I've been considering a switch since my instance has a lot of issues with overloading. I like that yours doesn't censor words. Does lemm.ee have issues with too many people joining and overloading the server?
Nope, it's rocking solid. lemmy.ml is shit hole, full of tankies.
