When people actively hate and want to kill you and people like you for existing the struggle pervades every part of your life anyways

no its literally to shut up the flood of people saying trans rights because the majority of people who are subbed to this channel are the ones who are mad at you for saying trans rights in chat, if the actual events of the last day are anything to go by

The fact that certain people are allowed to exist and do whatever they want and not have to worry about being treated like subhuman garbage is in of itself a result of politics and "activism" carried out on your behalf by the powers that be. So tough poo poo if you have to be uncomfortable for five minutes while someone else without those privileges asserts their humanity and right to exist.

Also eat, and I cannot say this strongly enough, a bag of dicks.

Ah yes the card game about 5 philosophical positions conflicting with each other and mixing together is somehow beyond politics.

For gaming bags, I recommend checking out your local Goodwill or Salvation Army stores to see what sort of packs and bags they have available and if any of those will suit your needs, as you will pay multiple orders of magnitude less there than you would for a new one and they sometimes have some real treasures lurking.

Whatever you do, don't buy one of those "dedicated gaming bags" because they're literally just camera bags but marked up to be $99 to $199. It's ridiculous.

[edit] Here are some photos of what I keep in my bag. Playmat not pictured because I just forgot, but I roll it up and put it in the tripod holder on the front. 6 EDH decks, notepad, pens, dice, card binder, dice not pictured but also go in there.

Agreed, but were you to find a dedicated "gaming" bag at Goodwill, it would be unlikely to excees $20, tops, and you can get a 50% off coupon by donating any old junk to the place, applicable to your purchase that very day.

I found a Grey Ghost satchel at my local for $10, it's supposed to be "tactical," the website suggests strongly it's a chud brand but it's got assloads of compartments and looks dapper as all hell, and is an attractive color. The cheapest I could find it on Amazon was around $150 which is obviously not worth it but at $10, it was a Good Buy.

Oh yeah, I meant don't buy any of that stuff new. Obviously getting stuff for dirt cheap at a thrift shop is dope. But failing that, the camera bag I use is $25 brand new so either way don't break the bank finding a way to transport your wizard poker.

I find certain features of UG's ammonite appealing even if very little beyond the internal organization will be useful. And camera bags can do most of those anyway.

It actually hasn't completely allowed wotc to save face because they're still in the position of implicitly saying it's wrong to call out lovely people. This is something that's going to have to be addressed at some point.

It is significantly better than it appeared yesterday, though.

Yeah I agree, it's the one that's "free" and what allows the deck to jump so far, even with just one of them. Same as how Felidae Guardian should be banned rather than Saheeli because it's effectively a mistake that it can blink planeswalkers.

I guess that's a risk you have to take. Same for someone stealing a backpack and thinking they're getting a laptop or something. But in reality just keep your bag with you. Mine's either in my office closet, being carried, in my lap on an airplane, or between my feet at an LGS.

Some number of X-3 people will be able to make top 8. That's not even particularly unusual for a Pro Tour Mythic Championship.

Nah, it's different lands. They made them swap out the Terese lands

And if you think that the only reason WotC pulled those lands was her name being scratched out you're high as balls, this is absolutely them trying to save face

Hell, they were showing Autumn when Autumn was 6-5, ie. very far out of Top 8 contention, nor is there some surrounding storyline like Worlds or such around them. You already said it's them trying to save face(poorly and badly), just tossing more context in.

The best way I heard it said recently is that if you say you want to keep politics out of something, it means that you're unaffected by those political policies and have that luxury. Other's don't have that option and everything is political.

So yeah, stop being a clown.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

If there's a silver lining to this, WotC's brought a lot more attention to Autumn's lands / Terese Neilson than would have happened if they didn't say anything.
