What in the world. The road we are headed where history is some how conflated to mean that we still think in the same manner is wild. Even things like not using context such as the playing cards and just assuming racism is crazy.

If you haven't paid close attention, this is actually pretty unsurprising, MTG has been among the most cucked franchises. They've been completely taken over by identity politics for several years now, at first just pandering with banning sexy art and putting in LGBT characters and conspicuous empowered black women and whatnot. But then it started spilling over into hostility and stuff like banning players and artists for the perception of holding controversial viewpoints, policing their social media, even a conspicuous silence and complete failure to do anything when a gay antifa SJW player tried to ambush and beat a Trump supporting MTG personality they had banned for wrongthink. Wizards are very, very deep down he rabbit hole and have been.

And the thing is, its impossible to appease SJWs. They will turn on their own and eat their 'allies' 10 times out of 10, and the more you feed them the stronger they become. Alec Holowka was a fatal example of that. Wizards has been getting buttslammed on social media by the black lives matter crowd for the past few weeks, who are accusing them of not having enough forced diversity in design & development teams and making very vague and nonsensical accusations of racism. Like saying this card is racist because it was in an Indian-themed set and has P/T 7/11:

They're going absolutely nuts, read up on it here:

As far as the playerbase goes...

Reactions are overwhelmingly negative and dumbfounded at how stupid they're being. And that's notable because /r/magicTCG is basically a feminazi Tumblr headquarters and will ban anything even vaguely non-PC on sight

RIP

The next elder scrolls is probably going to be in Hammerfell, but it would honestly be the best choice anyway. I remember in like 2011 when Skyrim added lesbian marriage and we all enjoyed the ridiculousness. It was legal four years before the US thanks to the SJW mob.

woman stabbed to death brutally by a group of teens and one who snitched on the rest of his “friends” is only gonna get 18 months in juvi.

no massive outcries or calls for change or even denouncing the actions of the killers



just imagine the chaos that would grip our nation if the roles were reversed: group of pale pasty privileged teenagers stabbed and killed a minority woman -_-

Rough, dude may have offed himself by not understanding the trading interface. Every Canadian bank trading platform iv seen updates the following day on the main interface. You have to actually go into the account to see real-time / delayed by 15 mins figures.

Even if he did actually lose that much i'm assuming there's ways to shed the debt such as personal bankruptcy in America? In Canada you would just declare personal bankruptcy, you would have no access to credit for up to 8 years unless co-signed or 12%+ rates from people who take on risky clients for high reward. Your name would be cleared after that.

i'm sympathetic because no one should end it all over something like money a clear gambling addiction

the article explains it well. he blamed robinhood in his suicide note for him doing options trading and that he didn't understand how it even works? i never liked options trading and going short so i dont do it; that said the people i discuss it with are very, very well-versed and have done it for years starting small and building up from there. not going buckwild and somehow 'stumbling' into a position where you can be -3/4 of a million and not understanding if all the transactions are unsettled or settled
