Young Slime Life is the gang, Young Stoner Life is the record label.

That one youtuber got banned for conceding against sparky.

PCOS does not come anywhere near those numbers.

Your average woman has around 25ng. A woman with naturally very high testosterone might have as much as 80ng. A woman with naturally very high testosterone and severe PCOS might go as high as ~120, which is still less than half of the male threshold. (Additionally, and I’m oversimplifying for brevity’s sake, but there’s basically two kinds of testosterone. The muscle building kind, and the hair loss kind. PCOS raises the hair-loss kind, not the muscle-building kind, and it’s very easy to distinguish the two on a lab test.)

Again, if you’re a woman and your test levels go above 200, your doctor is going to be searching for those tumors ASAP.

Eventually, absolutely. The PDGA has made it clear their goal is to become mainstream. If you want to grow as a sport, you need WADA accreditation, which means regular blood tests. Even the UFC eventually caved and started testing a few years back.

If you had some sort of tumor causing that issue, which would be pretty much the only way it could be that high naturally?

It would be caught very quickly and early in pubescence and you’d be treated for it.

Any woman who had that issue and didn’t get it treated wouldn’t remain, physiologically, a woman for very long.

That’s generally the age at which a biological male’s test passes 250ng/dl, and the reasoning behind the rule.

The how/why you hit that number doesn’t really matter, just whether or not your body has experienced the permanent performance-enhancing transformations caused by passing it.

Kn0thingIsTerrible

Born a man, can’t play with women.

Not even the rule. You’re perfectly free to be born whatever sex and play with women, as long as your test levels never hit a certain amount.

Your body undergoes permanent major physiological changes once your testosterone is above certain thresholds, so you become ineligible for lifetime low-testosterone divisions. This rule applies to biological women just as much as trans women.

Kn0thingIsTerrible

The PDGA set a rule that you can only compete in the women’s division of Disc Golf if you’ve never had in your entire life testosterone levels over 250ng/dl, due to the proven permanent performance-enhancing effects of testosterone.

Some people are very upset by this rule.

TL;DR: Bar spent all their money on virtue signaling, never even tried to generate a profit, went broke.

He destroys his neighbor’s property, treats his family like dirt, spends way outside his means, tries to cheat on his wife with a random saleswoman, street races some random asshole and nearly kills his entire family, etc.

He’s an asshole who thinks the world revolves around him, and nearly all of his problems stem from him not giving a shit about others, doing something reckless, and it backfires.

Kn0thingIsTerrible

Ah… a classic martini.

1:1 old Tom gin and sweet vermouth, never goes out of style.

But… Clark Griswold is a huge asshole and most of his problems were self-inflicted. Chevy Chase is no more an asshole than Griswold.

Don’t know the details, but there’s a distinct difference between wraps and sleeves.

Wraps change form and add bounce at the bottom, sleeves just keep your knees warm.

This combo is basically unplayable outside of HB on Arena and requires a very extended set-up, which means that the situations in which you can make all your lands hasty 5/5’s is usually either when you don’t need it to win at all, or when the board state is already so jammed up that you’d probably just lose all your lands and die on the backswing.

If you’re going to chase infinite mana, might as well put in an actual payoff for your jank combo.

Kn0thingIsTerrible

You didn’t need to say all that, you already made it readily clear you think “anything less than CEDH-optimal is jank.”

Kn0thingIsTerrible

Play Jank!

I play a Gyruda deck!

Aight, your Tier 1.5 deck going up against five other tier 1.5 decks is definitely “jank”.

Kn0thingIsTerrible

I see this bullshit repeated over and over and it’s just not true.

Going massively sub-optimal just marginally lowers the power level of who you play against, but no matter what you do, there’s only a tiny handful of commanders you’ll ever see.

Yes, they directly stated in the email announcement that they’re mainly going to phase out those sort of codes.

The code input slot will softly exist, but mainly for the codes in prerelease kits and other similar limited rewards.

Which headphones would you consider a better purchase at ~$200?

I don’t owe you more effort to explain something you put zero effort into understanding. Read it again. As many times as you want, it’s totally free to read over and over. But if you want me to explain it further, fuck you, pay me.

You lost the instant you got personal.

The conversation was dead the instant you didn’t remotely comprehend a single word I said to even a minuscule degree. Not a single word of your screed demonstrated even the tiniest level of understanding of what I said.

“The sky is blue.”

“Here’s why goldfish is the best snack.”

“Uhm, okay? What the hell does that have to do with the color of the sky?”

“YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T RESPOND IN A FRIENDLY WAY TO MY TOTAL NON-SEQUITUR.”

Okay, dude. Sounds good.

You do realize I’m not a teacher, right?

No, you’re not a teacher. All you are is phenomenal at missing the point entirely. It whooshed so fucking far over your head I don’t even know where to begin.

“I wouldn’t be a teacher if I was a teacher! I’d run Khan Academy if I was a teacher,” is a fundamentally nonsensical premise.

They’re not in the same business. One is teachers offering direct coaching/tuition, the other is offering education resources.

There is a shortage of direct coaching/tuition in the world, there’s an astronomical glut of educational resources.

To put it in crypto terms, it’s like saying “I would never be a coin miner, I would just go be the guy who invents a coin!”

Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Who’s going to go and buy your coin? What do you have to offer that existing coins don’t?

Most LGS make nothing or near-nothing on sealed MtG. It functions largely as a loss leader to get people coming in for other goods and services.

Standard retail margin on products is ~25-40%. Store buys for $100? Store sells for $125-140.

Magic is currently selling at ~5-10% margin, and I’m being generous in some cases there. Store buys for $100? Store sells for $105. If you want to see what magic costs at actual retail margin, compare your LGS price to your local Target’s price, because Target sells at standard margin, which is generally well, well above the general market price on magic product at LGS’s and online.

At the margins they’re expected to operate at, the overhead alone can mean you’re actually losing money on each sale. The store is making their real money flipping singles, selling merch and accessories, tournament fees, etc.

Very few LGS live in a region populous or wealthy enough to sustain themselves on the volume of sealed sales that would be needed to make any noticeable amount of money.

Absolutely not, because the series is just boring.

It’s not even “so bad it’s funny,” it’s just “so bad you spent 18 pages on absolutely nothing happening.”

What makes the abridged version so incredible is that you literally lose nothing. All of the chopped off panels are just Kazuya making weird faces and Chizuru looking cute.
