Well. TIL about this flag. For context, this is in a diverse neighborhood of Minneapolis, across the street from a rather hippie art building.

Here’s google street view from 4 years ago. Someone has been radicalized and started hoarding lawn decoration.

The thin rbg line. CRT lives matter. Stop throwing away your analog televisions! ✊

These colors don’t bleed (except for red)

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

All the colors bleed on CRT screens. That's why retro games look better on them 😜

CRTs are dying ooooooooooooooh

MTG Deck: red for burn, green for growth, and blue which I still don't know how to play.

It's the flag of Temur supremacy.

blue which I still don't know how to play

Pick one:

  • Counterspells. All the fucking counterspells.
  • The Tim deck. (Prodigal Sorcerer, Zuran Spellcaster, Rootwater Hunter, etc.)
  • Merfolk-centric builds that use damn near prehistoric cards like Merfolk War Machine from the 1994 Fallen Empires expansion so you can beam with stolen hipster valor.

You’re forgetting tempo decks and the many blue artifice decks (idk if you count blue and colorless as still just blue, but mechanically it is*)

*mostly

Blue could represent playing around your opponent, or tempo.

Most of blues toolkit is about reading theory (draw and filter effects), direct action (counter spells and bounce effects), opsec (evasive creature effects), and Lenin busts (artifact synergy).

At least in terms of the blue stuff that makes it into core sets more often than not (core sets used to be a thing and were meant to represent the a beginner friendly jumping-in point, closer to magic as Garfield intended than the rest).

They bought four of the same flag. Do you think they give a shit?

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

think of those as a talisman to ward away city employees

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What are those colors supposed to mean? Blue is for police, green for army and red for firefighters?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

Green is for Oscar the grouch.

This has got to be breaking the flag code

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

Blue green red, cops troops firefighters I'm guessing?

I know this house and I use to live near it. The guy talked to me in the alleyway and he pees in the alleyway on his bare feet all the time. The house looks like a disaster from the outside.

The house next to it is for sale last time I checked and it had been empty for some time.
