This is critical for everyone to understand about social media.
Any engagement encourages the algorithm. It's a skill to cultivate only your stuff, and on most meta platforms, impossible by design. They sneak (and often sledgehammer) stuff in to just engage you, especially stuff you might hate.
If you give a pigeon a little button to peck that releases pigeon food, it will push the button when it's hungry.
If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food every 5 pecks, it will peck it more often.
If you give a pigeon a button to peck that releases food at a randomly selected, always shifting number of pecks, the pigeon will peck that fucking button all day long.
Algorithm based social media is not set up to give you the best most fun stuff all the time, it is set up to give you a bunch of stress and nothingness with a randomized reward of something that actually makes you happy, because they want you pecking that button all damn day. It is a slot machine of content, meant to keep you putting in quarters made of your time and attention till you've nothing yet.
At least if I'm having a shit day on my own Tumblr feed it's because I've made a bad choice about who to follow and I can fix it.
Love this

An excellent sentiment.
Admittedly, I will have to watch carefully with a few of my own family members to be sure I don't fall into this.

Unless that toad has psychic defenses (or Jace had his memory wiped just prior to this fight) this is over before it begins, maybe literally, and Jace doesn't lose to toad that a) thinks they're friends or b) doesn't remember anything at all or c) is replaying some kind of lava bug eating fantasy

This is an old favorite build-around card of mine. The mini game of Flailing Soldier (turn one, first player) is fascinating and wonderful test case for testing both new and established players regarding card and strategy priorities, resource commitment, resource saving, risk assessment, and I think a few more skills not hitting me at the moment.
Where on the storm scale is "any player may activate this ability" type abilities?
I’d call it an 8.
That’s what always happens in capitalist societies. They say that if you don’t want to be poor, there’s a certain thing you have to do. But then everyone does it, so it’s no longer effective. The system depends on making sure that there’s always a supply of poor people to exploit.
Another old favorite. 3/4 for three, keeping my trend of always like at- value heft even with a drawback. These "gating" creatures were a fun cycle, but still largely overcosted (IMO even 2001), save for this and the even better Horned Kavu.
Pre-flash Flash made the gating a potential straight upside that could save a creature. So much fun!
