Wow, this is so cool. I hadn’t heard of that, thanks for sharing

The term snake oil is actually especially fitting for this, due to its origins.

In Britain in the 1700s there was a somewhat common recommendation for using rattlesnake oil from the fat of the snake for skin diseases/rheumatism. The efficacy is debated but it’s got some amount of potential for change (if not help).

This turned into people in the US selling mineral oil as “snake oil” as a total panacea. So a product that actually could do stuff being used as the poster child for a completely useless product that can solve every issue ever, buy as much as you can today.

Snake oil indeed.

I live in Denmark and find curses surprisingly casual, even fuck. I fucking like it.

Hell yeah! Portimao is a cool track. So happy to see this instead of another desert street circuit in a country with no human rights

Agree!

Yeah but this one doesn’t pay taxes

Definitely part of it. I’m a huge nerd, but years ago raced motorcycles in the US. The demographic makeup difference between that and going to a local MTG event is insane. Seriously, out of hundreds of people at a race track at a time and a decade of doing this I know 2 openly gay people and 0 trans people.

Not sure you could go into my local MTG shop without seeing that many gay/trans people. It’s lovely, but I think highlights the bias in what hobbies people will lean towards or how honestly they’ll be about themselves depending on the social situation

This is a neat daily game, I hadn’t seen this before

Yeah, between buying a political party in Paris and Barcelona, maybe

There are dozens of us, dozens!

Super happy about Mamdani as well, especially as a NYer. The state of the US has been really rough for years but just especially ramping up recently. It’s cool to see the opposition to it rise up, and I love supporting it as much as I can from afar.

Well Jimmy Carter won’t be exactly aligned with me on a Foreign affairs issue so I think we might as well just support Putin

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I mean, Trump is just the marketing of a president. All sizzle, no steak. He has appeared in debates but it’s a huge stretch to say he’s shown up well in them.

In fact, a lot of politics are purely a popularity contest these days, aren’t they?

Should make for a slightly more consistently fast pit stop, smaller and lighter corners?

Yup. Bernie Sanders would be pretty center here imo

Objectively correct answer
