You ever copy a link and it’s like 3 paragraphs long? Most likely, most of that link is has additional query string parameters that’s used for tracking. You could probably remove most of, if not everything after the ‘?’ in those URLs, and it will work fine, but remove all the tracking info.

Magic is unique and already has decades of history with set game modes, metas and very well thought out card pools people already enjoy. With how the cards are structured, people have also made other game modes from the cards, which adds a level of sandbox-iness that doesn’t exist in most other games.

Cards aren’t also typically power scaled to irrelevance, so people’s history with the game usually carries forward to eternal formats.

Also, the community is already overwhelmingly pro-proxy for certain formats / game modes, and being pro-proxy is seeping into other formats too. Everytime shit like this happens with WotC/Hasbro, the default reaction from a lot of people is “I’ll just proxy my the cards”.

Massachusetts implemented a 4% millionaire tax in 2022 and a small capital gains tax. The results?

• extra $3b in tax revenue, extra $1.3b with the capital gains changed.
• passed a $2.5 billion infrastructure & education bill
• millionaires in Massachusetts actually grew because of the economic expansion
• collective wealth of the people in the state went up by 40% two years after it passed

It’s proven that it works. We just need policies that benefit people and not just the rich.

That’s still a stupid reason. I’m a .NET & MSSQL developer primarily, I’m not gonna shove C# in every project I write if it doesn’t makes sense.

Jesus famously turned wine into an M-16.

He claimed to have made stew from his brain, but turns out that was bs and he never did, he was trying to sound like an edgelord.

At least in home depot, some of them come with a specific blade tool, or one that’s not too much more expensive. It’s hard/sharp enough to seamlessly cut through the tints, but not scratch your window.

NGL, I eat chips with chopsticks a lot. Prevents crumbs from getting all over the place.
