    This will do nothing to protect women, or even victims. In fact, it will protect sexual predators as it will make it more unlikely that a victim will come forward.

    Goddamn this is movie villain level of evil.

    I would imagine this is unconstitutional

    Is it unconstitutional with Scalia on the court?

    So I gave my classes this fun little survey thing as a kind of getting to know you thing for the beginning of the semester. One of the questions asks them what their favorite dinosaur is and this kid put, "Rammus, he's awesome" so I was like "Ok, first of all, Rammus is a girl, second of all, she's an armadillo, not a dinosaur, get your facts straight kid."

    Then he asked me what my LOL name was and I was like yeaah i don't think I can tell you that sorry.

    Rammus is a girl?

    what...

    Yeah, where is that written? Did Rammus get a revised lore entry like MF, Soraka, w/e

    What..Rammus isn't? I just checked the lore and refers to him as a 'he'. But I SWEAR I remember rammus being refered to as a girl before.

    well

    samus is a girl!

    Whelp, now I gotta write samus/rammus fanfics.

    Your mistake is thinking Republicans care about things like women, victims, or not being evil.

    But how can anyone support this at all? Like, people voted for this person. How can so many people support such a thing?

    because, contrary to what some chatters will blabber on about at length, there are a huge number of deeply shitty people in the country. And republican voters comprise a hell of a lot of them. People are very often not nice-at-heart and doing what you think is right does not make you not-an-asshole.

    what the fuck is CIS-gendered anyway

    I dont think its something I want to google at work

    cis is when your sex and your gender match.

    You have a penis and you identify as male? You're cisgendered.

    so like, if you're a mormon and you like dudes but still have a penis what are you

    and then same situation but with extremely hot lesbians

    mormon lesbians in the white shirts with ties and black skirts and halfway dorky but cute glasses

    with red hair and freckles

    is there any mormon lesbian porn out there anywhere

    This post went weird places, really really fast.

    Reminded me a bit of how Lily's mind progresses (in general) in HIMYM.

    I've definitely had classes like that. It's disappointing, but I never felt bad about being "that guy" since, in this case, "that guy" is the only guy doing anything. The teacher almost certainly teaches better through discussion (and I'm not saying that's the only way to teach, just that some people are better at teaching that way) and having at least one person to bounce off of is helping the entire class.

    I've been that guy and I've been the guy watching that guy when I'm just not interested in the class and it's fine either way. I think the only time it gets legitimately annoying is when that guy has a pet issue, he disagrees with the professor and everyone else, and he never wants to shut the fuck up about it ever and keeps trying to drag every conversation back to it.

    Because she didn't throw shit out like this when she was running. She just used words like family values and pro-life! But in the end its because the most effort people put into their voting decision making for congress is "Have I heard their name before" and "Do they have an R or D next tho their name" and sometimes "What does their picture look like"

    fuck yes

    this set is looking like sex

    what guild are you?

    I really cannot see Orzhov not dominating everything.

    Boros has some nuts cards as well, so it's between those two.

    But Extort seems broken on the face of it and is priced way lower than evolve, bloodrush and ESPECIALLY cipher.

    edit: Also, blue in general has too many dead rares where your bombs should be :(

    @wazilla

    I think all of the guilds are well-balanced for limited. I'm playing Simic in the main sealed event, and then gf and I are going to do 2HG as a Gruul/Orzhov team.

    I don't think Extort is broken - but I do think it's good. I think what will keep it in check is that you're generally getting it online at turn 3, maybe turn 4 (the only extort 1-drop is an uncommon) and using it sets you behind one turn on your curve. If Simic and Gruul can keep on top of their curves, they can push a lot of damage very efficiently.

    Honestly, I think the best Orzhov card for limited is actually Smite. The instinct of most players against Orzhov is going to be to attack aggressively, and Smite punishes that. However, keeping mana open for Smite makes it even harder to keep on a curve and pay for Extort.

    I could definitely see BRW being a thing. I think there's a draftable RW defense/burn archetype with stuff like Cinder Elemental and Boros Charm, and that dovetails nicely with Extort. If the BRW player has a Five-Alarm Fire or Boros Reckoner, attacking into him becomes very dangerous.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
