A generation of kids growing up without reading books isn't just a generation that reads less - it's a generation slowly losing the muscle for empathy. Because books aren't just stories. They're training grounds for imagination, for slipping into someone else's life,
@r1ntezuka@SaffronOlive the funniest thing is that >10 years before companion there was an article that starting with a known card in hand makes the games suck. and then we got the confirmation. and yet....
Lol, I'm super glad they didn't actually end up printing another companion mechanic in Lorwyn Eclipsed. Wild that it's even a consideration after how it went the first time. magic.wizards.com/en/news/making…
This should concern every Canadian—regardless of faith.
The Liberal government is considering removing charitable status from religious organizations. No consultation. No explanation. Just a recommendation buried in a 300-page report.
@BrainstormBrew how about “Faking Bulk” for the name of the new segment. Since three of the cards are bulk and the other one is trying to pretend it’s bulk.
I think green needs a 1-mana interaction spell that isn't dependent on having a creature on the board. It's the only color that can't fight a turn 1 play. It also needs some way to fight the black decks w/ inifite removal. Collected Company variant that's not 6 mana, plz

I should add a society in my homebrew world that does Trial by Wombat instead of Trial by Combat and it’s just a a wombat who presses a button for guilty or innocent.
@noornet@duolingo My weirdest Duolingo phrase while learning irish was translating “the women are in the fridge”. - not only am I pretty sure I’ll never have to say that, but I hope no one else ever does
Hmm @duolingo you need a quick holiday mode 😭 I'd like to order coffee, ask for the bill, hold basic conversation.
"my dog is unemployed and only has one eye" is not the useful phrase I had in mind when learning for my vacation in Deutschland 🇩🇪
SCAM ALERT – Fraudsters posing as taxi operators and passengers are hitting Winnipeggers with a new fraud designed to drain the victim's bank account in a card skimming operation.
Vehicles with fake TAXI signs on their roofs roam high-traffic areas, such as mall parking lots. A person acting as a passenger exits the vehicle and approaches a bystander, advising that the taxi does not accept cash and asking if the bystander will use their debit card to pay for their fare in exchange for cash.
Once the victim's card is acquired, surreptitious skimming techniques are used to withdraw far more money than the alleged fare amount.
