You'd get even weirder looks if you said "those persons travel a lot", while also sounding like someone who doesn't really speak the language.

"Those people" can be a racist or classist dog whistle, but isn't always, and also there isn't really an alternative. Say what you're going to say, and don't worry too much about it. The people who would misinterpret it to fit an agenda are probably going to do so regardless of what words you use.

The pharmacist did say that it was to reduce the queasiness since both the antibiotic and the steroid I was prescribed are apparently quite rough on the stomach, so I have to take the pills with food, which I inferred to mean as a meal. Which was fine when I took them with lunch and dinner yesterday since obviously that's gonna be tons of food to go with it, but then it came to this morning, and I don't normally eat breakfast. I wasn't sure if something simple like toast or a granola bar which I would take with the morning dose would be enough food to counteract it, since obviously I didn't want to spend my morning with a miserable stomach.

First three letters of Abzan are a,b, then z. Then a again. Like a life cycle. You're born, you grow, you die, then you get resurrected by one of Abzan's many graveyard tricks.

Bant is like "banter", like friends do. It's the friendly colours of white, blue, and green. It helps that my group hug and pillow fort decks are both bant to help me glue that association together.

Sultai starts with an "S", hissing like a snake. Vraska has snake hair and she's green/black, but sultai also follows the S with a U to remind you blue is in there.

What extension is that? Sounds like something I'd want.

It's sometimes used here, I think it depends how English you are. I just use "lol" but my fiancée does use "mdr" with other French speakers.

I think generally it's hard to "fake" being behind because your board state is your board state. Unless you have something giving all your stuff flash or something, in most cases it doesn't really matter if you have an Ulamog in hand and castable if on board you only have a vanilla 2/2 and the green player has an army of 12/12 tramplers. If you have lands in hand, for instance, you're generally better off playing them than holding back to hope that "oh, I'm so mana screwed" gets you further later.

On the other hand, there's also playing smart. If you know there's a boardwipe coming you probably want to hold on to your creatures. I try not to play turn 1 sol ring, even if I draw it, because that makes all eyes turn to you and any big thing that you might drop as a result of that will be coming out when everyone else is most likely to have some kind of removal, and often when there's nothing better to spend mana on. If a player is sitting on two untapped blue mana what are the odds that he's sitting on a counterspell? Can you bait out the counterspell with a threat now so you're able to do what you really want later? Or hold off casting in the hopes that it gets dropped elsewhere?

Depends on how the fight resolved. Sometimes you get snippy for a bit but ultimately either come to an agreement or the fight resolves and that's it. You rankle for a bit after, get over it, and move on.

Sometimes the fight isn't about what you're fighting about. They've had a bad day and it manifests as some bitchy comments about how the dishes were done. You stop fighting about the dishes but you're still upset because they're taking their bad day out on you, or they're still upset because they feel you don't care about them. These can last much longer because the fight revealed bad blood, but didn't do anything to address it.

A French one is common enough that it's used in English- "Répondez, s'il vous plaît" (Respond, if you please) is where we get RSVP. "SVP" is also sometimes used as a shorthand for "please", at least in Quebecois.

I remember Dolly Parton singing about her.

I'm terrified to respond. Every time I find an artist I like it seems like they turn out to be a completely garbage person. Therese Nielsen, Seb McKinnon, Noah Bradley....

Jeremy Wilson, Magali Villeneuve, and Johannes Voss are probably my highest ranking active artists right now, but now I'm looking forward to finding out one is an actual cannibal or something.

For clarity you're asking for some 2d image to use with an ink or laserjet printer and not for 3d printing, right?

Could be exercise-induced asthma? I get this as well and only found out it wasn't a common affliction a few weeks ago, when it was pointed out that this might be a cause. For me at least, after a while the pain gets so bad that every time I swallow it feels like my throat doesn't want to reopen.
