True.

I've played magic with the same group of 6 guys ever since school A dentist, a programmer, a doctor, an accountant, a businessman and a radiologist. Geeks are everywhere

He said, desperately

Genuinely pretty cool In fact I just noticed that I actually use this card in my MTGA deck!

... You mean that someone used your hands in the image for a magic card? May I ask which one, if so

I'm just disappointed that they're not deferring tbh. An extra year of the country functioning would have been nice.

Honestly I would have preferred this over May's deal. Short of anything with freedom of movement in it, I'd prefer us to get the harshest, most painful deal possible so that we can get back in asap.

I want to add that if they do rush the trade deal through by then, it will have been done with basically no scrutiny by businesses, institutions, charities, anyone. Who fucking knows what will be in it.

Don't worry though because other reports have confirmed that the UK and US are trying to rush through a trade deal before November. When Trump is kicked out of office.

Gove has apparently formally confirmed to the EU that we will not extend.

Logically, if businesses don't go under, then I agree with ewerk. What is going to tank the economy if businesses just pop back up to what they were doing? The big risk is that they become unsustainable in terms of cash flows, not that all of these businesses are suddenly unprofitable. Since the government stepped in to help them with their main overheads, i.e. staff costs, they should indeed mostly be fine. Except holiday companies which are going to be hounded to death by people trying to claim refunds for missed trips

This is a weird thing to say, not gonna lie

I do once remember CT advising me that if the country ever got into a financial position whereby people on the breadline were truly in trouble, he'd let me know. And that otherwise I shouldn't worry about it

You can't shame me with such toxic masculinity driven insults

I wouldn't disagree with all of them, some are old as fuck. "Stone throwing devils" is one I struggled with until a friend mentioned that this is actually an Islamic cultural thing with some kind of wall somewhere so... yeah that actually is racist. Severely racist. Can't get on board with the board sweeps being racist though.

I wish Yes I guess for the uninitiated that post would be a challenging one.

You're better off that way tbh. It's just a card game that has 5 colours representing different factions. On certain cards, certain commands are now racist. Intriguingly they're not racist everywhere, just on cards that you could, if you swapped the meaning of 'faction' with that of 'race', claim were advocating a genocide of black people. Cards that do the same the other way around are apparently fine. Cards which have negative, colour based targeting but which don't destroy things are... fine. I actually now believed WotC, the guys who make it, are racist as fuck. You'd actually have to be in order to think of half of the things they've banned as racist.

The government is going to have to spend. Keynesian style.

Magic the gathering has started banning cards "Destroy all non-white creatures" is now gone. "Destroy all black creatures" is gone. These are factions ffs. There are black and white people in each faction. Creatures is not the same as 'race'. Honestly I find this particular development so absurd it's funny. It'll completely break the game though.

It's an ideological argument. Seriously, this is the left, it shouldn't be news to you that it's tearing itself apart over an interpretation of something.

If the facts show that, then biological women who oppose it are being transphobic. Not sure there can be any argument on that if actual evidence supports it.

These are people who see the world in terms of where we all fall with respect of privilege, and any disagreement is immediately hateful. This is not normal for left wingers. I remain, last I checked, a 'far left radical' </CT>, but I'm open to at least letting people work through in their heads how they feel about something without shouting and screaming at them. It's not dialogue, it's just intolerance.

You're heavily into Jordan Peterson territory here, I would watch yourself or there'll be a public outcry culminating in the BBC sacking you

Fucking Wow. You could be forgiven for thinking that these were the hatetrolls from the far right tbh.
