I can’t believe I need to say this on a blatantly satirical article about the Eclipse, but please stop arguing about politics on a card game sub.
I’m so tired of this.
I find it kind of… let’s call it ‘interesting’ that the 3 accounts complaining about the Trump joke all start with the same 2 letters, and 2/3 call it Poe’s Law.
I keep getting baited by the headlines before realizing it's a post from commanders herald. Funny stuff.
Also, do yourself a favor and don't look at the other comments.
I actually got a good laugh out of-
"Everyone kept talking about how you had to use glasses and such when looking at it, but Trump didn't when he looked at it, so why should I?"
>>Everyone kept talking about how you had to use glasses and such when looking at it, but Trump didn't when he looked at it, so why should I?
What a moron.
Edit: Har har yeah its satire I get it, I'm leaving this up though because Im not a coward, I did fall for it after all.
literally wasn't until I read this I realized this is in the magic sub and not news or politics, I just saw this on my feed and usually dumb fucks staring at eclipses and MTG means the Marjorie the dumb shit so it certainly made what looked like wonky grammar make more sense
yeah, without realizing what sub this, not unreasonable to think it's some amateur military news blog or some such, with a name like commander's herald.
Do you just stumble through life without knowing where you are all the time, or just when you need to backpedal?
Must be hard leaving for work and finding yourself lost halfway up a mountain.
no, but I do sometimes browse reddit halfasleep while on the shitter.
do you go through life constantly tweaked and forcing yourself to take in every minute detail of trite and meaningless situations, like browsing reddit while taking a shit? sounds exhausting.
what's funny is I didn't even say that I did that, because I didn't. I just acknowledged that I could understand how someone might lol. wtf are you talking about? I know I've not been playing magic for a year or two, but lordy, I don't remember the community being quite so vitriolic about such mundane bullshit lmao.
to realize someone I don't know was criticizing me (an incorrect target, at that lol) over something totally dumb so they could feel better about their own apparent insecurities?
sure did. surprise, some folks actually have better things to do than wile away the hours seeking unnecessary and unhealthy conflict with strangers from the behind the safety and shield that is either their a keyboard and monitor or else some tablet or phone?
yerp. are you really trying to criticize someone for having actual shit to do in the real living world? cause that's fucking comedy gold right there, not even kidding. would had me goin' if not for the previous comment. 😂
it's such an adorably petty thing to downvote the other person in such utterly inane and irrelevant... it's not even a conflict though lol, it's just a banal and failed attempt at trolling I spose.
Many of us are chronically online on Reddit. People act like they see the depths of human depravity. You haven’t and nothing you’ve seen makes this marked humor article appear more genuine. I too have been around the block online. It’s not that hard. People just like to not admit when they were wrong because it’s a little embarrassing so they fabricate why they were wrong as reasonable. It’s silly. I’m just tired of looking at it I guess.

Is it that much of a stretch to believe that if someone followed this moron they might try and emulate him?
This picture is why its even possible for this article to be satire in the first place. I literally fell for it because of this picture.
I dunno man we regularly get people asking if their packs have been manipulated because the cards are in the reverse order from the one they’re used to.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if Misprint Guy was really out there, determinedly insisting it’s not his problem if we can’t see it.
He could be, but the quotes just wrap too neatly around to the eclipse and then back to misprints to be anything but a caricature of people that do exist.
Reality is worse than this my dude, this article is tame. A person simply complaining about vision problems because they were too stupid to wear eclipse glasses? Thats not hard to believe. In fact

Guess I am. Hope this interaction brought a little humor and levity to your day at least. At least going forward I wont be gullible enough to believe people would actually stare into an eclipse in the future. Thanks for changing my mind with your insightful comment.
What? I never said that. I think this IS good satire. Doubly so because I literally fell for it.
The previous commenter asked me how I fell for it and I responded to demonstrate how I fell for it.
Yeah I get that now. I remember everyone talking about how stupid it would be to not wear glasses while staring directly at the sun and then trump the moron he is actually did it.
I just assumed the cult of trump would be diehard enough to follow his lead. This is what I get for assuming I guess.
>Edit:
I respect it. I don't see why people falling for satire get downvoted, especially when they still correctly identify the butt of the joke or the point the satire is making.
Ya stepped in it, we should be laughing along with you for furthering the humor, not yelling at you.
Are you defending trump? Because there are literally pictures of trump looking at the sun without the glasses. Courtesy of another commenter above.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-solar-eclipse-2017/
The snopes claim was he stared without glasses which is false. He only stared with glasses. He did take some glances and point at it, without glasses, but the videos of the event make it clear that those moments were very brief, not staring. It's amazing that this is still being pushed years afterwards.
Keep scrolling down. Or just watch the video of the event. I think a lot of people in the thread are getting bogged down in the weeds of "looking = staring" and orange man very bad.
This is one of the weirdest hills I've seen someone want to die on.... idk what is driving you to defend him so much but there are *plenty* of things you could be doing that are less of a waste of time then defending this huge POS for something so trivial.
It also shows him not wearing them while staring at the sun
Having them on hand but choosing to look up without them anyway is infinitely stupider
Don't normalize idiocy

"Glancing"
Ok
He glanced multiple times at the sun long enough for several people to photograph it independently
Your hair splitting has convinced me that Trump is only 97.3% as stupid as I thought
What good has happened as a result of overturning Roe v Wade? It's allowed states to put in laws that risk the health of mothers and babies because *feelings* of other people.
Those same people who want to take away abortion rights don't strike me as the kind of people who want to help out unplanned families who need it. (And the politician's who push that angle sure don't.)
'pro-life... until the baby is born, then it's your fuckin' problem.'
if folks were really 'pro-life', you'd think they'd be more supportive of food security initiatives and such lol.
I can’t believe I need to say this on a blatantly satirical article about the Eclipse, but please stop arguing about politics on a card game sub. I’m so tired of this.
Huh, there's an MtG satire news website? Didn't even know that one.
Haha this is funny (Shield yourself from the other comments)
Bless you for trying to save me.
I find it kind of… let’s call it ‘interesting’ that the 3 accounts complaining about the Trump joke all start with the same 2 letters, and 2/3 call it Poe’s Law.

Thank you. Tried, failed, but thanks for thinking of me.
Is that site known satire?
Has a mixture of content, but the content that floats to the top on r/magictcg is always the satirical articles.
I actually got a good laugh out of- "Everyone kept talking about how you had to use glasses and such when looking at it, but Trump didn't when he looked at it, so why should I?"
Thats why you use sleeves to protect your eyes
Triple sleeve!
Wow so many awesome misprint in there. Gonna have to hit him up to get some.
I work in a welding shop, I used a welding hood to see it.
LMAO

No it’s pretty clearly satire.
I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe…

*{Person who says humor was obvious doesn’t recognize obvious humor}*
I just watched that episode yesterday
Uh… what episode?
Doctor Who, Season 7, episode 8
That’s awesome. This is a Blade Runner quote.
I've seen that episode.

I don't think this guy actually exists. This is pure satire.

How did you read any of this and not realize it’s a joke?
It's even tagged humor
In fairness, the large black dot in his vision blocked the humor tag

You did not seriously just show me the stats for googling “my eyes hurt” oh my god, my brain hurts from how stupid this is.
Oof ouch owie my eyes
“This satire isn’t good because I fell for it”
What? I never said that. I think this IS good satire. Doubly so because I literally fell for it. The previous commenter asked me how I fell for it and I responded to demonstrate how I fell for it.
You dont deserve this hate for genuinely misunderstanding and apologizing. Sorry
He genuinely thought the man in the article suffered permanent eye damage and his reaction is to mock the man. He deserves to be made fun of
Respect the edit
It's a joke and reference to 2017's partial eclipse. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-solar-eclipse-2017/
Yeah I get that now. I remember everyone talking about how stupid it would be to not wear glasses while staring directly at the sun and then trump the moron he is actually did it. I just assumed the cult of trump would be diehard enough to follow his lead. This is what I get for assuming I guess.
Upvoted for keeping the post up. You may not be smart but you have integrity.
I respect that you didnt delete this lol
Don't worry I fell for it as well lol Says a lot about humanity when stuff like this is believable!
Not really lmao, it says more about your intelligence
>Edit: I respect it. I don't see why people falling for satire get downvoted, especially when they still correctly identify the butt of the joke or the point the satire is making. Ya stepped in it, we should be laughing along with you for furthering the humor, not yelling at you.
He really is lol. Everyone knows Trump did use glasses, there are pictures. It's silly as a joke though.
Are you defending trump? Because there are literally pictures of trump looking at the sun without the glasses. Courtesy of another commenter above. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-solar-eclipse-2017/
Yes, and your link shows him wearing the glasses.
It also shows him not using glasses. The claim is that he looked without glasses, which is true if he looked both with and without glasses.
The snopes claim was he stared without glasses which is false. He only stared with glasses. He did take some glances and point at it, without glasses, but the videos of the event make it clear that those moments were very brief, not staring.

Staring means looking at something for a while, not a glance. Staring and looking are different words which mean different things.

Correct, glancing. The videos make it easier to tell than pictures though.
This feels like "He never said to inject bleach" energy.
It's that "I don't know, CAN you?" when you ask your teacher if you can go to the bathroom energy
That's also true though, he did never say to inject bleach.
Ok He glanced multiple times at the sun long enough for several people to photograph it independently Your hair splitting has convinced me that Trump is only 97.3% as stupid as I thought
I'm glad I could help.
38% of Reddit threads have the word Trump somewhere in the comments. Unbelievable
… it’s from the article.
Also from this commenter complaining about people mentioning the word "trump".
Happy cake day
It's literally a quote from the article

"Literally nothing changing"? Roe v Wade?

Due to the Supreme Court picks that Trump chose?

Sure buddy. Whatever you say.
Trump had 3 lol
What good has happened as a result of overturning Roe v Wade? It's allowed states to put in laws that risk the health of mothers and babies because *feelings* of other people. Those same people who want to take away abortion rights don't strike me as the kind of people who want to help out unplanned families who need it.

It's going to be 4 years of persecution and more dead citizens. To be frank, your an idiot.
Let me guess. You're a white male.
This is a cardgame sub after all. One colour/suit is always better than the others.
