Mostly agree! Like you could argue that God wanted you to win i guess. But yes once you start claiming divine fiat it's pretty bad

It's for sure an argument that gets made by kings and tyrants more than by democratic leaders

John of Patmos: In my book I invented the Antichrist as a cautionary tale.

Modern evangelicals: At long last we can worship the Antichrist from the classic book Don't Worship The Antichrist.

We don't call them cookers because of their calm and rational minds

The issue is IMO not if it is better or worse, it's that it is clearly a lie, or dementia, or both - no one could possibly rationally believe that was a picture of "a doctor". Doctors not in general shown with glowing hands or deep sea diver-angels above them

When Trump says the Pope is weak on crime, he means that unlike Trump the Pope is not constantly committing crimes

Seriously, who doesn't want to meet new and interesting people and learn more about how others live in the world...and eat their delicious foods.

That's less of a culture and more of a coma.

the odds that we go from so attractive that people buy our gas to onsell at a profit to completely unviable seems...inflated at best.

And also if we leave it in the ground, fucking great

"But what if we make the world better for no reason????"

Agree, it's baffling.

No no no, taxes are way too fair, make us all beg and scrape for pennies from our betters.

BRS arrested (for warcrimes)? Let's fucking go.

Ben Roberts-Smith has been arrested in relation to multiple counts of murdering unarmed Afghan civilians and prisoners in what looms as the most significant war crimes prosecution in Australian history. The arrest of the decorated former special forces soldier comes after a five-year investigation secured the co-operation of SAS eyewitnesses who are expected to allege that Roberts-Smith himself executed, and directed junior soldiers to execute, at least half a dozen defenceless detainees during his time in Afghanistan between 2006 and 2012. The decorated war veteran has been taken into custody. The decorated war veteran has been taken into custody.Matt Absalom-Wong

You and your peeps have just been a consistent delight. Slightly different things, slightly different people, but still just gentle internet goofery of consistently high quality.

For people who are not Maro who are following along: the reason german and french needed the cards from legends was wizards had a rule back in the day that you couldn't print a white border card in a language until BB printings existed. They ditched that rule after this presumably because of this.

I think renaissance (italian and french/german) are similar with uncommon 3s and 1s, with 1s as virtual rares.

...but as italian was a micro set (60 cards total, as it didn't need any of the cards from legends) i am less than certain.

I believe that is italian chronicles slash renaissance?

What lovely little cuties

He is, but hiding in the corner

Huh!

I had thought it was a narnia deal, where over sea, under stone was written after the dark is rising?

Sounds great, really
