    On the Bachelor this year, apparently some "bad guy" said something like "Villains gotta Vill"
    Taylor Swift's Shake it Off has the "Haters gonna Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate."
    So, they got matching tattoos that said,

    Vil,
    Vil,
    Vil,
    Vil.


    I feel like it should've been "Vill," but it's what they wanted.
    Really though, it's a really weird tattoo that isn't meant to mean anything to anybody but the two of them so go nuts.


    I'm getting that tattoo to **** with them.

    If you don't mind U or R but not both: then any Ux will works. Rx also works for any x that is not white.

    Without U or R:
    GB and WB I've done.
    GW can work, I've theorized it but never built it.

    Isn't that literally the plot of Idiocracy?
    No. The plot has to do with dumber people having more kids than smarter people. The average intelligence drops.
    Quote from bobthefunny »
    The rich thought it was a good idea to make the rich richer. A lot of people vote based on party affiliation based from family teachings, despite most of this being dumb. The Republican party somehow set themselves up as being the religious party, and has a large portion of the poorer vote, despite it being the Democratic party that favors the 'socialist' reforms that help those people.

    The US is a rich country. Most of the debt is owed to the bond bearers, which are American citizens, so we owe ourselves money. Essentially, it just means we're building stuff but not paying for it in our taxes.

    When a country can afford to spend more on their defense budget than the next nine countries put together; you know we're rich.

    ===

    Here's a few things:

    • Some votes actually don't matter. Many states are so polarized that they haven't changed their voting patterns in centuries. Some States can change (Indiana has, and is not typically a "Swing" State), but mostly the Presidential election and representative counts really only depend on a few swing states. If you're a Democratic voter in a solidly Republican state. Your vote will have no value.
    • Votes are not equal. Due to how the Electoral College works per population, with a minimum per some states, if you divide out the vote for the President, some votes literally have a higher weight than others. Primarily in lower population states (Technically, an Wyoming vote for the president carries the most 'weight' per vote). It is technically possible to become president of the United States with only 22% of the popular vote. Not actually feasible, but technically possible.
    • Our voting system, as well as our tendency to polarize topics and issues, makes it difficult, if not outright impossible to have more than 2 parties. Especially given how entrenched and rich the current parties have, and how difficult it is to get on a ballot across all 50 states without party backing, especially with some states able to outright refuse to put a candidate on a ballot, and with parties controlling some of those states.
    • The system of lobbying and campaign contributions being nothing more than a legal bribery measure. Almost 1 year ago, when there was the Kindergarten shooting where 20 children were killed, the majority of public opinion was for some measure of added gun control. The NRA essentially flat out said that any candidate who stepped forward would lose their funding, as well as be the target of negative campaigning for the rest of their career. No one stepped forward. The amount that those candidates depend on their campaign contributions currently puts the government into private corporation's hands.


    Yeah, the country disgusts me.

    Reading this thread is making me angry. I feel very against the USA in terms of how they treat their citizen. This is just reinforcing it.

    I end up feeling bad when I hear sob stories of people I knew that ended up very unlucky in life.

    Those stories sounds like what 30% of americans end up living, with another 15% having it worse.

    For a country so rich, why do you guys suck so bad? Who thought that it'd be a good idea to make rich people richer and **** over 60% of the young population. Who voted for these idiots? Like, why do people see nothing wrong with it? I feel like some people see nothing wrong with it because they are in a worse place and stuff like not being able to get a good education/their money's worth from a degree would be a godsend in terms of things they'd have to worry about. It would mean they aren't ****ed in terms of providing. Is this what happens?

    Horde always interested me as a creature based control deck. Never managed to find a list I liked though.

    I had this as a Zur deck and got SO much value out of Gravestorm. I've also theorized remaking it and using a lot of extract effects.

    My favourite deck is actually a heavy control Nicol Bolas deck, themed after him. I've actually won a two headed giant game of of a top decked Chandra's Ignition when the other team of two Oloro's were at 13 life. It's a pretty cool deck.

    So.. let me get this straight.

    You basically play like a high tide deck with cards like Teferi acting as your extra mana generators.. The difference is that you're playing all the wheels and good fast mana and big rocks and only clones that can potentially copy artifacts.

    You also have a ton of extra turn cards and the name implies that Karn is essential to the gameplan.

    So is all of this to try and get Tezz + Chain Veil or an absurd number of extra turns so that you can win through Karn ultimate?


    No.

    Not win with Karn. Restart with Karn Smile
