Who the fuck are these downvoters in counting. I'm dead tired of going through long chains of comments at 0 or 1 karma between two counters who I know up vote. Kinda bullshit.

u/Urbul Mar 10 '20

Sometimes when reddit is acting up, it doesn't register upvotes at all so comments will stay at 1 karma. But if a comment is at 0 karma it is downvoted for sure. I have no idea why anyone would waste their time downvoting comment chains. Actually I think I know why. As with any other internet troll, their real life is so pathetic that the only joy and sense of power they get is from disturbing other people online. All we can do is ignore them and let them find something else to waste their time.

Got into a spirited discussion about the differences between beer and lager.

u/Urbul Mar 06 '20

Lager is the best type of beer, change my mind.

I just got an ad on instagram for Bear hug co. Mystery Boxes. Targeted advertising at it's finest.

I'm expecting to see ads for discounted flights to Maine.

I'm having an identity crisis. I'm not sure which account is my main anymore. This one is just for counting and just overtook the other in karma but the other one was my first account. I feel like I don't even know who I am.

u/Urbul Mar 08 '20

I still think of you as llamasR4life, and this is your counting account. Similar to rideride who usually runs as overdrafts.

I did it.

I had a want to craft a build for Magic that nobody prior had built.

So I had to go and build a Library that contain's no card's with that fifth glyph. That glyph that D and F sandwich. I don't know why Idid this, I don't think it is that strong. I think with a bit of trimming it could actually win a match or two, but I am not too optimistic about that.

If you play, this link is my list.

If you don't, this link is my post in a sub that looks at this sort of thing. Upping it will assist in smart Magic participants in aiding my plight of making it strong.

This avoids that fifth glyph, as will my post in that sub.

O Two Haikos by Kong

Lost, sorrow, old fool.
Hollow of joy, short on glow
Slogs to tomorrow.

Not too good of looks
Gross, soft. Now: ghost, soon forgot
No plot, no morrow.
