Reply to 'I came to wizards.com/magic main page to see who have won the Worlds yesterday' on /r/magicTCG:
My understanding is that wizards.com/magic is the main products page, while the events page is dailymtg.com (also linked to from the top bar of wizards.com/magic)

There’s a link on the top bar of wizards.com/magic. The URL is basically a redirect to https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles

Note sure if this is a good place to ask but: I’m thinking of getting a MacBook Pro, should I worry about the supposed keyboard issues? Background: my main reason for wanting to replace my windows laptop with an apple one is so i can compile my react native projects for ios release. (Previously I had been asking my brother to do it for me). I’ve avoided getting one mostly due to how expensive it is compared to a windows machine, but I might be willing to bite the bullet now. Since I’m a programmer, the reported issues with the new keyboard concern me, how likely am I to encounter this problem, assuming I am buying brand new?

In the Philippines, we take the time on Sep 21st to remind our countrymen of the atrocities of a failed dictatorship, but for the rest of the world, it’s an ordinary day. Or is it? https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/2018/9/21/17887990/earth-wind-fire-september-21-meme-demi-adejuyigbe

The other day as I was standing in the rain with an umbrella, waiting to cross the street a white-haired Indian dude came up and stood under my umbrella and said to me in heavily accented English “I am taking benefit of you.” I nodded silently and we crossed the street together.

In today’s research oops, https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs10803-018-3595-9.pdf, Researchers asked autistic people to look at a confusing jumble of stuff in which there was a person. Focusing on the jumble of stuff rather than the person was called a ‘deficit’. There, my friends, is our problem/ ctd.

the thing about estimates is, it’s not a question of if you’re wrong, but rather by how much

Save it to Google Drive and forget about it.
Side note: Do writers really just only have their drafts on their hard drive and not stored on the cloud?

It is not necessary. They’re just pressuring you so they get free food.

Captain Marvel trailer reaction: I’m a bit whelmed, but I’m glad it doesn’t spoil too much plotwise. Still looking forward to the movie!

Repost from catchymemes:
In The Lion King, unlike the other lions, Scar’s claws are always displayed throughout the movie.
In The Little Mermaid (1998) when King Triton is introduced, you can see Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Kermit the Frog in the crowd, underwater.
In Cars, the flies are actually tiny cars with wings.
In Hercules (1997) the Fates tell Hades all the planets will align but only show 6 planets aligning. These are the 5 planets plus Earth that the ancient Greeks were aware of and could see with the naked eye.
In Zootopia, while Officer Judy Hopps is ticketing cars around the city, she never crosses the street illegally. She always uses a crosswalk and looks both ways before crossing.
In monsters inc, sully’s chair has a hole in it to accommodate his tail.
In The Brave Little Toaster, all of the walls in the cottage are cleaned only as high as Blanky can reach.
In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, during the food storm the president’s of Mount Rushmore get pied in the face but Abe gets hit in the back just like his assassination.
In Cars the truck stop advertises “convertible waitresses” i.e., topless.
In Finding Nemo, Bruce the shark starts crying when Marlin starts talking about Nemo, saying “I never knew my father”. Male sharks mate with the female then leave, so baby sharks never actually meet their father.
The Magic Carpet from Aladdin makes an appearance in Moana.
In UP, there are craft supplies on the table by Ellie’s hospital bed when she gives the Adventure Book to Carl.
The hold up scene in the Incredibles is actually an homage to a similar scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance, which also starred Samuel L. Jackson.
In Toy Story 3 (2010) Buzz Lightyear’s batteries are exposed showing the Buy n Large brand, the same company responsible for making WALL·E.
In Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego’s typewriter resembles a skull and his office a coffin.
In Monsters, Inc. (2001), there are multiple sizes of coffee cup for each of the different sized monsters.
In Toy Story 2 (1999), as the restorationist is going through his equipment, he opens a drawer filled with chess pieces. This is a reference to the Pixar short “Geri’s Game” where a similar looking man plays a game of chess against himself.
In Inside Out (2015) while going through Imagination Land a game box can be seen in the background with Nemo on it called Find Me.
In Cars, you can spot Sully and Mike in cars form!
At the end of Ratatouille (2007) Anton Ego is a little bit fatter. This is especially poignant since he states, “I don’t like food, I love it… if I don’t love it I don’t swallow.”
In Coco we can see The Incredibles poster.
Insuricare, the company that offers “car life insurance” to the cars in Cars 2, is the same company Bob Parr works for in The Incredibles.
In Inside Out (2015) two of the memory orbs on the shelves contain scenes from Up (2009). One features Carl & Ellie’s wedding, while the other shows their house.
In Toy Story Woody is trapped in a crate which is stuck under a ‘Binford’ tool-box. Binford is the fictional tool company in the TV show Home Improvement which starred Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
In The Incredibles, in Bob Parr’s home office, there’s a photo from a fishing trip where it appears he caught Bruce from Finding Nemo.
In Cars 2 (2011) while in a pub in London there is a tapestry on the wall that is the DunBroch family tapestry from Brave (2012), except they are portrayed as cars.
In “Ratatouille” (2007), Linguini has to hide Remy before his second day of work. He offers to hide him in his pants, revealing his briefs covered in The Incredibles logo.
After the plane is blown up in The Incredible, Helen (Elastigirl) knows the plane debris is going to fall on them due to seeing the reflection in the water.
I read every one of these and I don’t regret the time it took
@thebibliosphere you’d rock Anton Ego’s office
I would. Needs some glitter tho.

1-2 tonight with Cody, but the guy was like 800 pts ahead of me and the 1st game was terrible and the 3rd game was pretty close, I’ll take it. Also it took me 30 mins to find one opponent =/

I used to find it strange that in comic book lore, the leadership and citizens of Krypton let their planet’s situation become so bad that it could no longer be saved, despite the protests of their leading scientist. Looking at certain world leaders (and their followers) in 2018, this doesn’t seem so strange anymore.

Mornings are for self indulgent meanderings of the mind. After midnight is for trawling the internet and wondering why you can’t fall asleep. Everything else in between is often vapid mediocrity.
