@KentaroHokori @RandyGay15 I'm 99% sure the current rules do not allow you to do this. If you miss the trigger, then it gets added to the stack in the middle of the main phase. But I think you can only pay it using mana you would have had at the time it was supposed to trigger.

@KentaroHokori @PLeo04 @BrianDeMars1 That would actually be wild. Imagine if someone, in the finals of a tournament, went: Pact of Negation with 4 lands on battlefield Goes to next turn, forgets to pay, plays a land Opponent remembers trigger, which can now be paid for. Pact player goes on to win the tournament

@PLeo04 @BrianDeMars1 The issue I have this is “the player was able to pay for the pact in the main phase after playing the land for the turn( additional mana) and some extra info( drawing card for the turn) instead.

@geralddavidsson @DanFriedman81 If you've seen any of his posts, that's apparent. He's just an incredibly sadistic individual. He loves the idea of inflicting punishment on people he doesn't like.

@DanFriedman81 Based on these comments, you're not really anti-crime, you're pro-punishment. Not quite the same thing.

People who follow me know I am anti-crime and support harsh punishment for criminals, but I believe that misdemeanor assault is the right outcome in this case and might even be too harsh. The reason is that after a month, we don’t know the name of the victim. We haven’t heard from any of his family. Typically, the name of a victim is withheld pending family notification, and if the police still haven't released his name after a month, that means that they have been having a very difficult time reaching a next-of-kin to notify. I believe this means that the man Nassadir Tate punched was likely a homeless mentally-ill junkie who accosted Tate in some way — not merely a fellow commuter who accidentally bumped into him. Nobody but a street person can be killed on a subway platform and never be identified by name in the media. Meanwhile, Nassadir Tate is a guy with an apartment he pays rent for, no previous criminal record and a LinkedIn -- he is a reasonably solid citizen. A lot of people online are projecting assumptions into the absence of details surrounding the man who died in this case and imagining that Tate is a thug who murdered a victim for no reason. I think this is a Daniel Penny-type situation where a citizen defended himself against an aggressive homeless person. When there is a violent confrontation between a junkie and a citizen and the facts surrounding the case are ambiguous, I always assume the junkie is at fault. Also, a lot of people online assume the victim was white and that this may have been a random hate attack, but based on what I have read about the case, I am 90% sure the dead guy was black.
National Conservative@NatCon2022

NYPD says video shows Nassadir Tate, 21, fatally punching a man, 55, at a subway station on 3/14. The victim had accidentally bumped into him. Tate was given a misdemeanor desk appearance ticket. One month later, no name of victim, no video, and Tate is still walking free.

@DanFriedman81 The ration used in your reply is a bit too complex for most blue pilled, goldfish brained, rage bait sheep mentally programmed repliers who cover veiled rage bait replies under the guise of being concerned citizens. Literally kindergarten level responses to the ration applied

@ImBobbyGuy @JohnDMacari @TheFinestCast If you pay 10% to a bond company, which would be 30k as you're suggesting, you don't get it back. You only get it back if you pay the full 300k amount and meet all conditions

@JohnDMacari @TheFinestCast Relax, it's only 30k. He's a sergeant so he should be able to cover it. And if he's not a flight risk, there's no worry of losing it.

@SaffronOlive Premodern is just another fad that will die out soon. The entire history of Magic shows that no format has ever survived without new cards being regularly introduced to change the format. Since Premodern will never have any new cards, most people will lose interest.

As much as I don't put any money making scheme past Wizards, there's no way they'd do Premodern Horizons because it wouldn't actually make them much money because the community would reject it. Premodern Masters would be great though, and at this point it's badly needed.

@DanFriedman81 The implication is clear: "Punishment should be based not on the action, but on whether the victim or the offender has a longer rap sheet." You're such a trash human being. One day, everyone will realize it.

@DanFriedman81 it's actually insane how horrific of a person you are Because his name hasn't been released, you're assuming the victim's a mentally ill junkie with a rap sheet, who was homeless, and probably started the whole conflict. Therefore, even misdemeanor assault might be too harsh.

@Drone6981 @dilanesper What they did to Jan 6th people was excessively harsh and wrong. But I hope others begin to recognize that prosecutors do the same thing, every day, to average Americans-- overcharge them due to sadism and political reasons. I've lived through it.

@RandyGay15 @dilanesper Exactly. Most of the Jan 6th prosecutions are based on legal theory just made up out of thin air. Kathy Reummler and Andrew Weisman based their whole careers at DOJ on this.

@AliceFromQueens Has it occurred to you that people should be treated with dignity and respect by federal employees, regardless of whether they are a senator? I don't specifically care if they treated a senator badly. The problem is they treat EVERYONE this way. I've experienced it myself.

The funniest thing about this story is the guy who answered the phone in the middle of the night at the prison had no reason to believe the man on the line with him claiming to be a senator actually was one. This doesn't seem to have occurred to Mike Lee.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee

I got a call tonight from a constituent whose son is in federal prison He explained that he hasn’t heard from his son in several days (which is unusual for him), that his son suffers from multiple, potentially life-threatening health conditions that are going untreated in prison, and that he needed to know whether his son was still alive He sent me the main switchboard number for the prison in question (which is on the east coast), and I called the number Someone answered almost immediately I explained who I was and why I was calling, and in particular that I needed to know whether this particular inmate was alive and well The guy scolded me three times for calling “too f***ing late” and refused to tell me anything Only when I persisted did he agree to check his records to confirm that the inmate in question was alive and well After checking a list briefly, he came back to the phone and said “he’s here, and he’s alive and receiving the treatment he needs” (His parents assure me that that’s simply not true) I asked politely if someone could leave the inmate a message asking him to call his parents in the morning He said, “it’s too late” I responded, “I don’t mean now, I mean in the morning” He scolded me again for calling too late, and then told me I’d have to call tomorrow and track down the inmate’s counselor I asked him if he could relay the note to the counselor for me He scolded me again for calling too late and asked me to call back tomorrow to track down the inmate’s counselor I asked for the guy’s name He refused to answer I asked for his name again He hung up on me That’s not okay Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had this experience when talking to people from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons on behalf of constituents with an incarcerated family member suffering from a severe medical condition And each occasion, I’ve been treated at best with dismissiveness and at worst with contempt and profanity Has anyone else experienced this with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons?

@jessesingal The problem isn't Mamdami, it's the judges that let Machete Man out of jail at least a dozen times. I like this project to track judges who set free arrestees who go on to commit more crimes. x.com/JohnnyFSE/stat…
JohnnyFSE@JohnnyFSE

I built CourtWatch.us — a free public database for American citizens who deserve safer communities. You can track which judges released defendants who then got rearrested, skipped court, or violated their release conditions. All public records. All free. I started with Orange County FL and will be expanding to all 67 Florida counties and eventually every state in the country. This first batch of info is from 2024 and since public reports are released in March/April for the previous year, data is behind. But I wanted to see if this is plausible. After adding 2024,I'll add 2025 and then figure out how to get real-time-data uploaded. It's in beta — would love to know what you think 👇 Numbers don't lie, but criminals do. courtwatch.us @bennyjohnson @jockowillink @GrantCardone @LauraLoomer @nickshirleyy @j_fishback

@DamonLinker I say the same about the Beach Boys. Brian Wilson was a genius who influenced generations of musicians. Sure, he wrote songs about relatively simple things, but the music itself was anything but simple. It's not about arriving at the right time, its about defining the time.

The Beatles are one of the most important bands in modern music history. That is not the same thing as being one of the best. A lot of the reverence around them comes from historical position, not actual listening experience. They arrived at the right cultural moment, shaped the industry, influenced everyone after them, and became canonized so completely that people now confuse influence with superiority. Nonetheless, being an early inspiration is not the same as being unmatched. The Beatles get treated less like a band and more like a civilizational achievement. People do not merely enjoy them; they feel socially obligated to defend them. Their status has become self-reinforcing. Every generation is taught that they are the gold standard, so many people inherit the conclusion before they even examine the music. And once you strip away the mythology, what is left is often a catalog that is clever, catchy, and historically innovative—but not necessarily emotionally deeper, musically richer, or sonically more compelling than what later artists would go on to do better. A lot of Beatles praise is really praise for innovation in the historical context. Fair enough. But context cannot do all the work forever. “This was groundbreaking in the 1960s” is a different claim from “this remains the pinnacle of music.” Plenty of artists since then have written more complex lyrics, built more ambitious albums, pushed production further, and explored darker or more interesting emotional terrain. And they actually sound better without Yoko Ono screaming in the background. So no, saying the Beatles are not that good is not a ragebait. It is just refusing to confuse historical importance with permanent artistic supremacy.
Tahmineh Dehbozorgi@DeTahmineh

Probably for the best. Their music is at best just average.

@BosstonDean @KuKhahil @SamQuinnCBS If you think he deserved that MVP you're clueless and you understand sports at a 2nd grade level. "B-b-but 26 PPG!!!" Pathetic. Look, at some point, you just have to realize that you scored 980 on the SAT and your IQ is 90. You're an idiot. Try listening to those who are smarter.

@dilanesper This is dumb. Neither the woman nor Swalwell wanted it to become public, which is why it didn't. But if it did go public, Swalwell had far more to lose than she did, which is why they say she had more power.

I find the right wing talking point of "actually the subordinate 24 year old woman has the power" to just be outrageous. first, if they truly "have the power", how come over and over what actually happens is these women are afraid to talk for years about what happened to them?
