I know Black Lotus is one of the most (the most) valuable MTG card, but why is that so?

It’s a nice card, but not all that extremely powerful or special, is it? Was it just super rare? It’s from one of the first series, I believe?

At this point, as a non american, i just cannot comprehend at all why people would doubt on who to vote. Trump fanatics have made up their mind and will never vote Harris, I get that. If you dont like trump, there’s only one other option and that’s Harris, right?

But is there really a big group of people that actually STILL need to compare candidates and think “not so fast, that trump guy may have a point”. What makes them think he is a sane choice? Are these people that voted biden, are disappointed in his presidency and now think “it was better under trump”?

It’s not like European countries where you need to choose between like 10 different parties. If you dont like trump, you vote harris; simple as that, right? (Obviously not, so I really want to understand the dynamic in play here)

Ask someone in the north of finland how hot is “very hot”, and how cold is very cold. Then ask the same in middle Africa. Spoiler: it will vary alot.

Would it literally? Like hijacked foreign planes flying into buildings? Like invading countries for oil? Literally?

Thanks man for the elaborate (and honest) answer! You often hear stories about how people just quit their jobs and magically everything will work out for them. It’s good to hear a more realistic view!

Hey that’s interesting! I have a degree in computer science and work as a software developer but also a masters in visual arts (photography). I never managed to break free from my developer gig, because of the financial stability it provides, but I already burned out, recovered and feel it’s an endless cycle. Like you, doing art made me so happy and it bothers me every day I can’t seem to get my life turned around in that direction.

Do you have any tips in that regard? How did you get started? Did you transition softly or just quit your job there and then? And what then? Did you have network? Can you live off your art?

I have so many questions, please point this fellow STEM in the right direction to break free :)
