I'm not very good at playing magic the gathering, i'm mildly obsessed with Philadelphia sports (sometimes). I'm a Gen Xer who read the book (did you know there's a book?) and a PhD drop out. Neurodivergent, i like to converse, ask me something.

Some people are just too stupid and shameless to argue with, even if they like the same team you might like.

yup we don’t care avkut shit.
or we care deeply but don’t feel the need to broadcast every feeling.
Gen-X's whole thing is apathy so why would they care

Millennials were burdened with an abundance of actually giving a damn while also having everyone else make fun of them for it

...millennials have eldest daughter syndrome we were made for this moment
Yes, I'm being hyperbolic, but it really does seem like Millennials fell into the sweet spot of not having as much of he boomer bigotry rub off on us as compared to Gen-X and also not having our childhood brains fried by algorithms and clickbait.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

See when I grew up (the 80s) we kind of trusted science, and doctors, and realized that they knew what they were talking about...today, thanks to god knows what, everyone seems to be an expert on every topic, even ones they have no base knowledge in...and people are going to die in large numbers

Gonna need a team of curlers easing my path thru life, sweeping away obstacles, periodically yelling "HARD!!!"

Seems ideal, really.

Ok eagles, time to retire the tush push
Just perfect, because when I think of WWE, I think of something you should wipe your ass with before tossing in the toilet.
"Dominik Mysterio, known for his rebellious in-ring persona and cultural resonance, will participate in a first-of-its-kind integration in which his signature gear will feature DUDE Wipes branding during every in-ring appearance on WWE programming, including Monday Night Raw and various PLEs"

here's where the advantage of being raised by a doctor works to my advantage - but yes - tell your doctors not to use AI
I can imagine many patients just worrying that they will piss off the doctor in the moment and say yes.

I would never repost a means to keep your ID safe and to give the middle finger to a company ran by the grandson of Mosley.

I would also never encourage you guys to spread the word of this method to fill Palantir's servers with Metaverse like avatars to do a bit of trolling (a lot of it) 😇

My first commander thought was 'angels and demons' which led me to kaalia of the vast - but then i never built her cause, you know, there's too many of those
Sometimes I come to #edh deck building searching for a commander that matches a concept in my head rather than building from the legend. Sometimes as I work through it I land back on a deck I recently took apart.

In completely unrelated news, I should bring back Jyoti.

I think on an NFL sunday 12 is quie competetive
6 is the clear front runner, however I think the discussion for 2nd and 3rd place is much more interesting.

My inclination is to put 4 and 5 next.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.
