I loved every episode. I hope there's more. Probably not much more he could say in this story that would be allowed on tv but I hope he tries something

I also think changing the name of the dunk tank but still having a comm for "dunking" is the way to go. I agree with others, making fun of right wingers is a great entry point to the left. Not everyone is going to like every comm.

Are you seeing real people with that takeaway or just corporate heads and reddit?

Are you saying the solution to people not caring who becomes president is to force them to vote by gunpoint

If your whole deck is printed someone might be a dick about it but otherwise fuck them if they have a problem with a bunch of fake cards. Most good decks (that other people would enjoy playing against) only have about a dozen of the expensive cards so it's really not that many proxy cards anyway. Playing against a deck that's filled with a bunch of $100+ cards sucks ass and will not make you many new friends.

I usually just tell people I have the real card in another deck (I don't). It's really common for people to proxy expensive cards that they like to play in all their decks.

For example, there's a guy at my lgs who plays there multiple days a week and he has a maze of ith in every single one of his decks. He has a literal briefcase full of decks so he would need at least 20 copies of that one card. You can find versions of it for around $5, which isn't that high as far magic cards go, but it's way too much for anyone to own multiple legit copies of. So anyway I've only ever seen him play proxy versions of that card and no one cares in the slightest. Everyone just kind of assumes one of his decks has the real one.

Just print all the expensive cards and buy the affordable ones online. I only spend about $50 a month on cards and I spend several hours playing every week. It's not the best hobby for people who are prone to gambling though, probably.

Does anyone know anything about this platform or these people? I hope they're going to be on every ballot. Seems like a good vehicle to count how much support there is for communism around the country. vote

"World's Worst Airline" smuglord

North Korea Flies World’s Worst Airline to Beijing for First Time Since 2020

(Bloomberg) -- North Korea’s state airline made its first international trip since the start of the Covid pandemic, in a sign of easing border restrictions that could repatriate its stranded nationals abroad and increase trade with its powerful neighbor.

Flight data indicates than an Air Koryo passenger jet flew from Pyongyang to Beijing on Tuesday, which would be the first such commercial flight in more than three years. China’s Foreign Ministry said this week the country had given permission for the flight. Air Koryo is also set to operate flights on Friday and Aug. 28 between Vladivostok and Pyongyang, according to NK News, a specialist service on North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sealed the border at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. The move slammed the brakes on the little legal trade conducted by his heavily sanctioned state and also left stranded North Korea’s diplomats and thousands of workers sent to places such as Russia and China to earn hard currency for Kim’s regime.

In a sign of opening, North Korea last month allowed in high-level delegations from Russia and China for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and this month sent a group of its taekwondo athletes abroad to take part in a championship in Kazakhstan.

Signs of a resumption of trade with China, historically Pyongyang’s biggest partner, led Fitch Solutions to estimate North Korea’s economy returned to growth after two full years of contraction. Still, it added that significant uncertainties still remain.

Air Koryo has previously been ranked among the worst airlines in the world.
