[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

I am not wild about this set.


Well actually Eldrazi do interest me.. however I can only see it in Standard, which I have decided not to partake actively

Allies I was really looking forward to, but the first ally spoiled in the duel decks
worried me and as the spoilers wore on, it was clear that Allies haved changed. For better or for worse, but it was'nt the allies that I looked forward to. STILL, the g/w ally was'nt too bad and could be tested in my modern ally, so thats cool.


But what else?

I like the dollups of Eldrazi frankly, I am sad that they weakened eldrazi tho.


To me standard was the forefront of tech. It was new direction, new cards. But that was in the past. These days it is rehash after rehash in the name of conserving design space. Which is understandable and fine.

I am just sad that standard is now just a passing fad for a few years before and now what? 1.5 yr before it rotates into oblivion? This is my concern. Thats if you print only limited stuff in standard, none of those cards will translate well into eternal. Which is sad for the partakers of standard.

Now the past few sets have seen modern playables printed in standard. That is to be lauded. Printings of legacy and vintage material is a dicy and difficult business so I do not fault them for maintaining sanity in standard. However the leap from Standard to modern should not be a non entity. Siege Rhino, being playable in modern is a very good thing. Same for things like Lilianna, mana confluence? I dunno I am sure there are many many others that I am sure. That is a good thing. Legacy and vintage playables will be a bonus (Snaps, lili, baby Jace).

Actually thinking about it there was an upswing in power since M15 so I am actually quite happy. Until this set I guess.

Now this current set may see playables, I am not ruling that out. But it does look a little lackluster so the assumption I am making here is that it is a limit and standard only set.

It is in this context that I am concerned about future printings. Should future printings be limited/standard only? Which is what this set seems to imply.


As long as sets are made with at least modern in mind I am cool with it Smile


I actually think that Kahns was the perfect set. The mistake of printing delve was how I think it should be done. Pushing the envelope and if it becomes a problem ban it. It is usually not a problem in standard anyways but in the eternal formats (which are alot more hardy).

Printing strong sets allow entry into eternal formats over time.

This might be a problem. Since a player in eternal has little or no incentive to play standard or limited (unless said player actually enjoys those formats)

The question is whether wizards even support eternal? As the way to milk appears to only be from supplementary product. Printing eternal viable stuff may actually reduce business for limited and standard.

Now if wizards follows that line of thought and prints only limited and standard stuff (which BFZ seems to imply). I will truly have no reason to buy new products.

For what its worth I buy a case or two of each set (yes even BFZ), my thinking is at worse I get a block cube of some kind. Which is my way of consoling myself Smile I really look forward to the bright spots in each set that would contribute to the eternal pool. I can only take take buying block cubes for so long.... after a few sets it may be goodbye to current magic and I'll just hideaway in eternal. Or not. Since this is really Magic: the Addiction right :p


BFZ so far looks like a 2.


Passable but not hopeful.


Still.


This is just one set. many more to come =)

I am contemplating laser hair removal for my face, underarms, and pubic region, because I dislike constantly shaving those areas (although the alternative of allowing the hair there to grow out is far worse), but I know that the process can be expensive, so I wish to ask for advice about it.

Has anyone here ever had laser hair removal? If so, was the process painful? How long did it take to perform? How expensive was it? Would you recommend it, or its it better that I simply remain with shaving as my method of depilation? Thank you very much.

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

I have a stovery in a trailer house. Was installed earlier today. Basically there is the stove and a metal chimney vertically going straight up through the ceiling and the hole chimney is roughly 7 feet long. It extend about a foot or a foot and a half outside the roof.

My problem is it seems like I'm not getting enough oxygen. I have built 3 separate fires in 8 hours. Each fire dies within an hour or 2. Been using 3 to 5 split logs of seasoned wood (1 to 3 years old).

And some paper kindling.
The wood takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get going with the door open. An inch or two. Then I leave the air sliding door at the bottom open all the ways. After 15 or 20 minutes I shut the main door, cuz the fire is strong. In about aboUT 5 or 10 minutes the fire is noticeably lost at least 20% efficiency. So I open the door. It's strong again. So I shut the door. Repeat. Etc.

What is wrong? The smoke upon startup goes away within 20 minutes. The logs are position with wedges facing each other neatly so encouraging flame....no smoke coming into the house....etc

The unit gets hot but refuses to radiate heat more than a foot out. So the room is like 40 degrees with the fire going.

I'm thoroughly stumped

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

A guy moved to our school the other year from Singapore, and my friend group decided to take him in so he wasn't all by himself. Over the past couple of years we've come to realise that there's something wrong with him.

First and foremost, he's 19 years old (a year older than the rest of us) and has spoken English his whole life, so it's not some sort of language barrier.

He has a MASSIVE tendency to be both unbelievably socially awkward and to fall in love with people way too young for him. It has gotten to the stage where he falls in love with 14 year old girls that he has observed daily at the train station and after a couple of years of doing nothing now on a couple of occassion he has run up to them, said he loves them and then literally run away. He doesn't realise how weird that is, no matter how much we tell him.

Secondly, his level of thinking and maturity is unbelievably... low. For example, its as if recently he has discovered how to make jokes. But... really basic ones which he finds hilarious. For example, I have a friend named Simon Green... "Hey... why was Simon green? BECAUSE HE WAS SIMON GREEN!" or my friend Rachael Baker... "Hey... why was Rachael making bread? BECAUSE RACHAEL BAKER!".

My friends and I have tolerated this for a couple of years now, but we really don't know what we should be doing about this. What would you guys suggest?

This is gonna bit a bit long so I apologize in advance.
Speaking as someone who's friends have described me as "A furry who hates other furries." I admit I am a bit biased. (for reason I will explain below.)

I mean I can definitely see where they are coming from. The fandom on the surface is pretty normal, borderline harmless, in regards to interaction and the such... Only sometimes amplified to reflect the person's chosen animal/s. (Ex. Tails Swishes)

I didn't always think of myself as a furry. I have never felt like I was an animal trapped in a human body. Though it was pointed out by a friend just recently that I had apparently been on the line for years without realizing it. Explaining that my personality is similar to a cat and further referencing a short story I wrote in middle school that had one female antro character, also a cat.

Anyways in college I met a girl and soon we started dating. Now I will admit the first time she tried to explain to me about herself and other furries I was like "You think, you wish you where a what?" Like I couldn't wrap my hear around the idea. But then I rethought it a bit. I had been playing D&D for a few years by this point and it occurred to me that this was a different form of role playing and decided that with this realization that the idea sounded like it could be fun.

So I developed a Male Cheetah character and wrote out a few ideas on how I thought my character could be incorporated into her furry group and by extension the world they had created. I thought if I showed her I was willing to try something new, accept her quirks, that the "Emotional Wall" might soften a little. IMO it failed as she accused me of making fun of her. But slowly she accepted my attempt or as she put it "my heart was in the right place even if my approach was poor."

However, it didn't take long before my interactions with her fursona, (God I hate that word) most of which took place in a little corner of the internet called Furcadia, threw me head first into a questionable, often darker and very much not pg-13, side to the furry fandom. Hell the character she alone had created was a vicious, at times borderline feral, werewolf slave trader with a dominatrix streak. Quite the opposite of my own curiosity driven cheetah who was wise, but not particularly smart, with a love for adventure and a habit of getting into trouble.
I had approached it as if I was making the background for my next D&D character, while she had apparently had gotten DM approval to use the Book of Vile Darkness. (kudos if you get the reference.)

Eventually I started to get jealous after I heard second hand of some of the things she was doing in character and that's not accounting for the handful of times I stumbled upon her myself. Eventually it killed the relationship because she wanted to spend more time in the game then with me.
But I decided that that shouldn't be a deterrent to me, I could still salvage the character and enjoy it... Then I got temp banned three times from Furcadia for a month each time. All in attempts to role-play my character. At which point I decided that I should probably stick to D&D. Also IMHO people who wear Fur suits are flipping weird.

TLDR: While I understand not every furry is a walking deviant, I also don't blame people for their misconceptions about the furry fandom cause a decent amount of it seems to be true if your willing to scratch the surface. I can also say that based off of what I saw, heard, and read for the year and a half or so that I was heavily involved in the culture that there are a lot of people who probably need to get their heads checked. But not every one.

Edited: for spelling since I typed this out in the middle of the night.

I was driving my significant other home and was turning left on a 3 way intersection. Pedestrians had the right of way with the crossing sign so I waited for all pedestrians to cross before I turned.

Moments later, a teenager on a skateboard entered the crosswalk from my left (moving in front of the stopped ongoing traffic) while I was midway through the lane so I stepped on my brakes since his body language showed that he wasn't going to stop. He then gave me eye contact shaking his finger at me and shaking his head.

Now he did get a bit of a rise out of me, but I just chose to continue driving and let him have his little justice victory or whatever. I am more so interested in wondering if I was really in the wrong. He did have the crossing sign, but all pedestrians exited the lane completely when I was turning. It's when I saw him through my peripheral vision that I chose to stop. I kind of felt immature for letting a kid get a rise out of me from such a simple gesture. Also, what would you have done?

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

On another forum of which I am a member, some of the other users have taken to calling me a robot, likely because of my extremely formal and proper manner of speech. I do not appreciate that, but I usually ignore it, since I know that those users are taunting me, hoping to make me become angry about it.

However, I wonder how they even conceived that idea in the first place, so I wish to ask this forum: do I seem to be "robotic" when I speak? I certainly am not attempting to seem that way, but I simply have a formal and proper manner of speech; to me, such speech is natural and normal.

I often state that posts on an internet forum cannot convey tone of voice or facial expression, which are prime indicators of emotion, so that may be a reason that some of my posts may seem to be lacking emotion; when communicating verbally with other people directly, I certainly do display emotion, as is normal for most people.

What does everyone else say about this? Do you believe that I seem to be "robotic" when I speak, or should I dismiss that idea as merely some cruel joke that the users of my other forum have started?
