Fucking turbo Genesis looks like every combo player's dream and it is banned everywhere.

Means that Nermal sees himself as male and thus is trans masc, most likely?

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 5h

Mirage(97/98), Urza(98/99), Masques(99/00), Invasion(2000/01).

Fair to hate Combo winter though. Early game is the coin flip, mid game is shuffling, late game turn 1.

I am convinced this is why everything is having AI forced into it

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 5h

Nermal very consistently use masc pronouns for himself.

I would be impressed if during Masques anyone had cards up to invasion, but yes that trade seems really bad.

Actual headline: Israel continues genocide despite ceasefire.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 16h

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

That is just the BC work flow right now. One place I got to round 2 of interviews, rest were not even that. Gotten very few messages back as well of "we moved on without you" which makes the whole thing more frustrating. I got skills, and got them listed on my resume. I am working on tuning it more.

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 14h

Live there. Over 7000 job applications and 4 interviews.

BC is not better for this, unfortunately.

Let me repeat that this is things I saw months ago and did not save.

Born here and honestly it is a relic of bygone times. There is a big reason there is no drive for Charles right now.

Obviously this person has a fetish for getting yelled at.

Communism started in the 1800s, not the 1900s (Marx famously said "I am a communist" in the late 1880s) and obviously the USSR killed more fascists than any other group.

There was also democracy in small scale there.

Iris @perennialforces.bsky.social · 1d

I'd say this in a less rude way if I could, but you're just uneducated if you don't think that's true. Communism manifested as an anti-democracy movement in the 20th century that fought liberals harder than fascists and then established its own genocidal dictatorships in numerous countries.

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 18h

Israelis did. Largely on TikTok but also other social media sites.

This is fair as a critique. And I appreciate the words.

And this is why I really made clear that I am not saying jews. The issue is not one of Jewish people or faith. It is one of European settlers taking what is not theirs. And again, if they want to stay, then they should return control of the land to the Palestinians and make a lasting peace.

1

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, I do think that those that are of European descent claiming Palestinian inventions as their own is problematic.

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 1d

Obviously Judaism is indigenous to the region, there is no doubt of that. Same for all abrahamic religions (aside from Mormonism but that is a long discussion). Ultimately the reason they were out there was for biblical prophecy reasons.

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 1d

Note I specified the ones of European birth. I did not talk about the people who were from the area because a lot of them, including the vast majority of Palestinian jews, were displaced for Israeli European settlers.

No. Because they inherited it. But they are actively aiding in the theft by others.

1

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 1d

I would say that they are accomplices in the theft, by providing a blackwash of sorts to the theft by the state at large.

1

Rob, Blood Moon Apologist @bloodmoonapologist.bsky.social · 1d

Largely the Israeli state and the people who make up said state.
