Why couldn’t the fish part be on the top and man part be on the bottom?!

Look, it takes time to change your views. Reddit is a right wing hell hole and your political beliefs reflect that.

This doesn’t wholly make you a bad person but, perhaps, try to learn more about why you’re getting such a strong reaction to your political opinions.

Your views on trans people for example are pretty out of date, there’s no legitimate reason to create a trans sporting league to make sport “safe”.

I’m unclear why you think iodine pills will be worth gold when they don’t prevent radiation sickness.

Iodine helps protects the thyroid but it will not stop you getting radiation sickness.

This is some classic conservative prepper fantasy cure-all nonsense.

Provided you aren’t in the immediate blast zone of a nuclear weapon the best you can do to protect yourself from alpha and beta radiation is to reduce your contact with fallout aka radioactive dust by:

  1. Ensuring your water and food supply does not contain fallout

  2. Not wearing or coming into contact with contaminated clothing.

  3. Be in an underground location with multiple barriers between you and the outside

If you can avoid contact with fallout for several days your radiation risk will significantly decrease.

Persia had a strong influence on the development of Chess so not really a surprise.

Those photos of Iraqi prisoners connected to a car battery were not really made public. /s

It a lot of ways the military is a means to escape poverty, of course you run the risk of dying to have the chance at some fleeting semblance of middle class life.

This is my primary interest an independent resilient internet sounds very interesting.

 

According to the article ‘the Australian Federal Police (AFP) will allege that an analytics specialist from the AFP's Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce deciphered Mr Jung's cryptocurrency account's "seed phrase".’

The word ‘decipher’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I’m wondering if they socially engineered or just found it written somewhere in the house?

Anyway, curious as to how they did it.

 
 

This goes out to all corporate IT shills who instead of just picking and allowing Firefox as the corporate browser of choice instead decided Chrome was better.

Go fuck yourselves. Yes I am bitter about this.

I have never used chrome outside of work, I knew it was shit the moment google search results made the sponsored results a very hard to discern shade of yellow. Never touched it again.

 

I’m assuming because it’s the end of the standard year blizzard is trying to squeeze money out of everyone but each time I check the shop the standard pack bundles I unlocked for reaching bronze, silver or gold etc have disappeared.

Do they only unlock for a certain time?

Or are they only there for certain ranks?

Anyone have a list of all the bundle tiers?

 

Some tips:

  • Unless you’re playing hot and are confidently legend (i.e. you’re holding your own when you make it to legend) then all the usual advice applies with this brawl, don’t bother.

  • You really have to know your opponents deck and mulligan for cards you know will give your deck the best chance at winning.

  • I played optimally with my deck but one mistake did cost me a game so you will be punished for sub optimal plays.

  • You do have an element of luck with matchups but I faced two decks which are hard counter to my decks (Thaddeus sludge warlock) and won because I played around their combo trigger. I stress again, you have to know your deck and your opponents very well.

  • Don’t take excavation rogue as your deck unless you are sub 1000 legend, you’ll die.

Would I recommend earthen paladin? The meta for the brawl has shifted a bit more to value decks I chose this deck because treant Druid and excavate rogue is so popular and this deck hard counters Druid and performs well against rogue players who play suboptimally.

Earthen will not perform well against Reno decks unless you get a very good draw.

 

What do people think?

Good/bad?

Is it cheaper now to just roll a new account with no standard cards and get 1000 cards?

For me it may seal the deal to buy the Showdown prepurchase bundle.

 

On the other place I constantly saw memes of shows that I thought ‘well if they’re that popular they must be pretty good’

Shows like:

Avatar, The Office, Parks and Rec and IT Crowd

I’ve watched them and I just don’t get it. They aren’t so amazing that they are worth that level of adoration IMO. Avatar has its good spots and Parks and Rec is pretty enjoyable but I cringe at American office and IT crowd is forgettable.

However a show I actually really like, Community, only started getting the same type of treatment after the pandemic because people watched it on Netflix. Although it’s still not as popular as these others. Are people just really basic or am I out of touch?

Anyway, what show did you watch and think ‘I don’t get what the fuss is about’? Maybe it was Community?

 

I’ve returned to Hearthstone after 5 years (I boycotted every blizzard game after their treatment of Blitzchung) wondering what the best way to be a FTP player is now?

Is Arena still the best use of gold?

How should I get gold now? I see that quests have all changed.

Any obvious ‘to dos’ I should be aware of?
