Um Actually: The urban legend of the Chaos Orb isn't that the player won his tournament by tearing up the card and throwing the confetti but that he lost once the judges realized that destroying the card put his deck below the 60 card requirement.
The one I've always heard was that it landed on his opponents library and he successfully argued that the whole library should be destroyed causing him to win when his opponent could no longer draw a card.
@@greywolf7577 judges have final say but a legal deck needs cards that are essentially identical except for the printing on their one unique side; where a notched or slightly thicker card, or say a bunch of tiny card-pieces would obviously be identifiable within a deck such as to allow for cheating. E.g. you could feel a slightly thicker good card while shuffling your deck and choose to move it to the top of your deck. Funny enough the process by which WOTC produces shiny "Foil" cards often causes warping/curling of those cards (the community term is "Pringling" for reasons I hope are self-evident) so these official and supposedly premium collectibles often cause disqualifications for the same reason.
Um, actually, the Infinity Gauntlet wasn’t forged, it was cast from a mold. Forging explicitly requires using pressure and/or concussing forces from a hammer or die.

@@schuhey7021 um actually it would have been constructed after the pieces are forged. You forge a sword and connect handle and guard, you don't then say i constructed a sword you would say I forged this sword. Putting peices together don't take away from something being forged. Because last I check there is a difference between metal being molded and metal being forged. No one is talking about the shit you add our do because if that's the case forget stormbreaker being created in a mold because groot used his own arm to "construct" the handle. So too you that means stormbreaker wasn't made in a mold and was only constructed.... I'm not sure you know anything about blacksmithing...

Um actually, Six of Crows is a fantastic and gay heist book that Siobhan would probably love. (Both for the reasons mentioned before and because it is just the best)
Six of Crows is fantastic, after Shadow and Bone was announced on Netflix I went WAAAAYYYY deep on the Grishaverse and I do not regret that binge sesh.
While the Riker Montage is funny, the way he sits and the throwing a leg up is due to a pretty bad lower back injury. Standing for long shooting days would cause him horrible pain.
From a technical acting perspective it also keeps his face towards the camera. Many people tend to lower their heads unconsciously when sitting down and to a lesser extent when standing up from a chair.
The whole minigame is specifically book titles though, so they know it's an actual book, they were just riffing. (Also it could've been titled after a game within the book.)
If you consider the fact that Scheherazade is making up the majority of the stories as she goes, having a genie show up twice in the same story makes a little more sense. 😅
Um Actually Shibhon, Deep Space Nine has a Transfemale Bisexual character in the form of Jadzia Dax (who almost gets together with a lover from a previous incarnation while they're both in female bodies) and had an episode where Quark has a temporary sex change (though that is admittedly handled poorly), and TNG had 2 particularly gay moments. One where Riker falls in love with a non-agender-member of an agender species and one where Crusher falls in love with another Trill and breaks up with them after an accident requires them to change bodies into a female (which again, is handled poorly but at least they were trying. Not bad for the 1980s) Edit: also pointing out that Jadzia is Transfemale, and the recipient of the single most trans-positive televised moment of the last millennium when she met Kor.
Um actually the agender character basically gets fucked so good she decides she’s a woman only to be brutally re-conditioned so badly handled is an understatement
Reportedly Jonathan Frakes wanted the non-agender alien to be played by a man, but he was overruled. All the members of that species we encounter were played by women.
Um actually while the alien species as a whole doesn't have gender, the one riker falls for does identify as a woman and in fact specifically says she only has sex with men
Um actually the tale of "Aladin" is not an early arabic tale, it was added by the French collector/editor who wrote (Antoine Gallant) it himself. Also um actually: the rule of only 3 wishes was invented by Disney. In the story the genie of the ring is weaker than the genie of the lamp, but they grant infinite wishes to their master.
And, fun fact, the overall plot of 1001 Arabian Nights is that a woman was forced to marry and to avoid being raped by her husband each night, she tells him a story to get him to go to sleep.
@@Sam_on_TH-cam I thought she told stories that always ended on cliffhangers so he wouldn’t kill her in the morning, like he did with all his previous wives
My Grisha saga loving self was so damn offended when they were dissing Six if Crows. It’s just… such a good read! The characters of color are bad ass, there’s bisexual and gay rep, there’s plus sized rep, there’s dyslexic rep. It’s an amazing heist novel, which I would likely recommend for Siobhan
Um, actually, great episode but as a Six of Crows fan I feel like some defense for this book is needed 😆 It's often described as a fantasy Ocean's Eleven, a group of misfits pulling an impossible heist, and most of the characters are from a gang that owns a Casino called the "Crow Club". "Six of Crows", I believe, is supposed to immitate the construction of a card's name (like 4 of clubs or 7 of diamonds) !
I've collected enough Darkmoon cards in WoW that I was definitely feeling that once the true answer was revealed. My first instinct was the Borg Little Sister theory for Three of Six though :)
*UM, ACTUALLY,* the Mushroom Kingdom is, in fact, ruled by a couple of Toads, namely King Toadstool and Queen Toadstool. The fact that Princess Peach Toadstool's parents are Toads, and the fact that Peachette is a Toad (Toadette) with a powerup, suggests that Peach herself might be a fungal person as well.
@@OurHourglass kind of, yeah. iirc there's a game where toad uses one of Mario's style of mushrooms and grows just like him, implying that that's just how stuff works in the mushroom kingdom, it's not a Mario specific thing. The royal family just uses a specific royal mushroom

could probably still describe her as an alien life-form, as gems aren't native to earth. She also couldn't have ever existed if aliens didn't visit earth
"primarily known for its colorful cast of extraterrestrial sentient gems" does not imply that all of them are necessarily extraterrestrial. I'm pretty sure they have used that fact in a previous episode, but the question was worded in such a way that either implied they all were or might have specifically called out a non-extraterrestrial, making an incorrect example.
Apparently that's an urban legend. Honestly, I can't see how sitting that way would be any easier with a back injury, the way he swings his leg would involve the back muscles way more.
From a technical perspective, doing it that way helps to keep his face camera forward. Most people unconsciously lower their head or even bow at the waist when sitting the normal way, which would show the camera the top of their head. Not that the top of Frakes's head is bad, but people want to see actors' faces.
If someone chimes in early, STOP READING THE CLUE! If you invite people to interrupt, you can't then still give them the benefit of the rest of the clue.
This was the only time I recall Trapp continuing after a chime in. Certainly he'd never done it for as long as he did it this time. I give him the benefit of the doubt and think that he just didn't notice that someone had chimed in until that moment.
Six of Crows was the ONLY book title that I knew, and was confident about! It is currently sitting on my desk shelf waiting for me to finally read it and not add anymore books to the shelf.
Mr. Perfect Cell R Is weird because it’s manga only not by the original creator and takes place in the middle of battle city and the plot revolves around adopted children of Pegasus wanting revenge on Yugi that’s where the wicked gods appear
Trapp dropping Brennan’s name when Jared buzzed in early had me cackling. It was so quiet and subtle, I had to go back to make sure I heard it correctly.
Six of crows is a fantastic book and it perfectly describes the book because not only is the group of 6 characters called the crows, but six crows means a change in money (for example robbing a bank)
The actor who plays Riker injured his back before filming started and had to stand or sit in awkward positions to ease the pain so they wrote his casual stance and sitting behavior into the character.
My personal canon about the thanos age of utron post credit scene is that thanos liked to cosplay having the infinity gauntlet before he got it and he was pulling it out of his space dryer
Um actually, Wyverns wings are attached to their arms much like an actual bat. Dragons have four limbs separate to their wings, it is a point of distinction that dragons take quite seriously.
Ummmmm, actually, dragon in the name name of the species as a whole and wyvern is just one of the subclasses of dragon. A Lung (or Chinese dragon) is still a dragon even if it fails the test of Eastern European characteristics that you indicate means dragon

UM actually, Hiro Protagonist is not the most badass hacker of all time. He is the greatest swordsman in the Metaverse, because he wrote the code for it. The greatest Hacker is Da5id,
Eh... debatable. They had roughly equal hands in the original programming of the Metaverse, and notably only one of the two gets flattened by a piece of virtual paper like an absolute scrub. (Also, Hiro's not JUST the greatest swordsman in the Metaverse because he coded it. He puts in the work to be at least competent at it in the real world too.)
Um Actually, in July of 2020 the SCOTUS unanimously came to the ruling that states may punish or replace presidential electors who refuse to cast their ballots for the candidate chosen by the voters of their state. Electors for the electoral college are still appointed, but to correct Siobhan there is now a recourse of action the state can take in the event of faithless electors.
Actually this isn't true, the SCOTUS ruling doesn't change how electors are appointed it just stated that states are allowed to enforce laws against faithless electors meaning the electors have to vote in the way states tell them rather than their own free choice. Appointment of electors remains entirely based upon state governments appointing them rather than being elected by voters.
@@weareanonymous353 This is also not true. State governments have no role in selecting electors. Parties choose who will be on their slates for the presidential election, and voters absolutely do go to the polls to vote for their electors.
@@timmyhkvt Only in current practice, not in law. The constitution allows states to choose electors in any manner they like. This is why 48 states appoint a panel of electors from the party that wins the state votes but Maine and Nebraska set aside a portion of their electors to the party that wins their congressional seats. Many states are also considering a proposal to appoint electors based on National Popular Vote rather than their own state vote as currently done.
@@weareanonymous353 No, they don't. The states don't appoint electors. Let's use an example here, to cut down on the vagueness. In 2020, the Democratic Party of Massachusetts selected eleven people to serve as electors, in the (very likely) event that Biden won the state. The Republican Party of Massachusetts did the same. More Massachusetts voters selected the slate of Democratic electors pledged to vote for Biden, and so a month and change later those eleven people went to Boston, and each cast one vote for Joe Biden as President and one vote for Kamala Harris as Vice President. The election is winner-take-all because the Massachusetts legislature decided it should be, quite some time ago, but that's the extent of their involvement in the process. State employees run the election, but they have no role in choosing electors beyond that of any voter. You are correct about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, though I'm not sure even that would qualify as appointing electors, since states would be choosing a slate rather than deciding specifically who would be doing the job.
Um, Actually, Amethyst is a terrestrial gem, not an extraterrestrial gem. Though she is a gem, she was born on Earth, and is therefore, not extraterrestrial like the others.
@@kirbylover37 Um, actually the gems defy such standard classifications due to their unique method of reproduction/assembly. Since the gems are formed from the very earth one could easily argue that they are the literal definition of terrestrial.
@@romxxii She already did. It's the hole she came out of. They visited her Kindergarden (sp) and she showed them the hole she came out of. The hole was smaller than all the other holes that her sister amethysts came out of. She was the runt of the litter formed after her sisters were all dead.
@@tinkerer3399 The more interesting question is whether or not Garnet is terrestrial. Ruby and Sapphire are definitely aliens, but their fusion Garnet was formed on Earth. Garnet has her own personality and identity. Is her terrestrial status based on her identity or on the gems she's fused from?
Um actually, Toad has multiple voices! His appearances in the early Mario Party games was a high-pitched child-like voice when he gave out Stars to players. In later games, after becoming a playable character more often, his voice was changed to be more of a terrifying shriek. And even before having a voice, he did have dialogue in the original Super Mario Bros, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"
Ummm actually the rules text for chaos orb says nothing about throwing the card in the air. The rules text specifically specifically says to hold the card 1 foot above the table and it must complete 1 flip to be a valid use. "If Chaos Orb is on the battlefield, flip Chaos Orb onto the battlefield from a height of at least one foot. If Chaos Orb turns over completely at least once during the flip, destroy all nontoken permanents it touches. Then destroy Chaos Orb."
It was ultimately banned because it is a “dexterity-based” mechanic, i.e. any rule that depends on flipping or throwing a card is unfair and outside the scope of Magic.
Um actually, if you can’t get your character out of a bind, Chandler’s Law states, “When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.”
Um actually, the MTG card "Chaos Confetti" is already a card that requires you tear it up and throw it over the field. Any cards in play that a piece touches is destroyed
Just hearing them talk about the Six of Crows. I own that book. It's great. I believe it's meant to be a play on a Playing Card. Like 6 of Clubs, 7 of Hearts, etc.
Also (and Y.T. being the real protagonist feeds into this as well) Hiro is definitely not The Chosen One by any metric. Cyberpunk, as a descendant of noir, doesn't really go in for chosen heroes.
@@jesserolon915 So what you're saying is they have him on the payroll and always available but choose not to put him in the Tournament of Champions. That makes it just worse.
Ummmm actually... Star Trek Deep Space Nine had representation of same sex relationships or gay characters. In the 1993 season 4 episode "rejoined", Jadzia has a same sex relationship with another trill named Lenara. Also, throughout the series the actor Andrew Robinson, portrayed the character Garak as gay.
Um, Actually, I don't normally comment on videos like this but seeing as that's the name of the game: @Um, Actually one of the contestants makes reference to the Arabian folk stories needing an editor but there is little evidence that Aladdin was an Arabian folk story. It was added to the French translation of the Arabian nights by a French author and could have been created at the time from whole cloth by the Syrian who told the story. The only 2 "earlier" versions of the story known are attested by some scholars to merely be back translations into Arabic. (Thank you Wikipedia)
Um, actually, I'm a Constitutional lawyer and I can tell you members of the electoral college ARE elected. The candidates are appointed by the party's nominee for President and then when you vote for that nominee on paper, it counts as a vote for their slate of electors. They are absolutely elected. I know someone who was an elector in 2020. She was elected when my state voted for Joe Biden. Although no states do this anymore, their names used to actually appear on the ballot. Now, you have to find the slate published elsewhere to get their names (the National Archives publishes it), but they are still elected.
Yeah, I'm not sure what they were talking about - I guess within a particular party the slate of electors is appointed, not elected, but people definitely vote in the general election for the slate of electors they want to be effective. (Isn't the fact that we vote for the slate of electors, not the actual presidential candidate, the big thing about the electoral college?)
I think that they were trying to make the point that Electoral College members are not elected individually by the voters. They are elected as a group for that particular candidate.
Laughing that Six of Crows is in fact about as far as you can get from a happy fun story about kids who discover a dusty old boardgame in the attic. There ARE kids, and there ARE attics...but there are no happy fun times.
I feel the need to mention that six of crows is not a jumanji situation in the slightest. It is however a very intriguing and engaging fantasy heist thriller following a group of criminals on a life or death mission to save the world and make a shit ton of money in the process. It is very good and everyone should read it.
um actually I know this is a year ago but Riker (Jonathan Frakes) had a back injury so his saddle sitting was to reset his back joint and they went with it
Um Actually, we see Nidavellir in Thor The Dark World. When Thor and Malekith was duking it out, we see Nidavellir through a portal due to the convergence
"COOKIE PUSS! I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" - Satoshi the Soul Eater. Also, Um, Actually, Riker sat like that because Jonathan Frakes had back problems that prevented him from seating himself normally.
Um, Actually.... The story of the player tearing up and throwing the pieces of the Chaos Orb card inspired the card Chaos Confetti from the set UnGlued, in which that is the rule text upon the card. This set also has such crazy cards including: Hurloon Wrangler which has Denimwalk; Knights of the Hokey Pokey (Where you do the Hokey Pokey to prevent all damage from one source); and The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast® Customer Service.
Um, actually, I think there is a card in MTG called Chaos Confetti, that does exactly what Trapp described: You'll tear the card up, then let it rain down upon the table and whatever card any piece touches is destroyed. IIRC, they even have rules for how large the pieces must be and from what height you're supposed to drop them. Edit: Also, because MTG has SO many cards and SO many weird possible combinations (it is in fact Turing complete and you can set it up to run any computer program in theory), the official rules are massive and includes a lot of very specific cards combinations and moves. Edit again: Oh, they mentioned Chaos Confetti.

While the Riker Montage is funny, the way he sits and the throwing a leg up is due to a pretty bad lower back injury. Standing for long shooting days would cause him horrible pain.
And due to the material and bad fit of the costumes according to him in a con panel. Plus he was over 6' and the chairs were crap.
Jonathan Frakes claims he just thought it would be a cocky asshole "bad cowboy" move that he didn't expect them to let him keep doing
From a technical acting perspective it also keeps his face towards the camera. Many people tend to lower their heads unconsciously when sitting down and to a lesser extent when standing up from a chair.
the fact that none of them mention how Six of Crows is an actual book by Leigh Bardugo and is not at all about a game is driving me crazy
The whole minigame is specifically book titles though, so they know it's an actual book, they were just riffing. (Also it could've been titled after a game within the book.)

Um Actually Shibhon, Deep Space Nine has a Transfemale Bisexual character in the form of Jadzia Dax (who almost gets together with a lover from a previous incarnation while they're both in female bodies) and had an episode where Quark has a temporary sex change (though that is admittedly handled poorly), and TNG had 2 particularly gay moments. One where Riker falls in love with a non-agender-member of an agender species and one where Crusher falls in love with another Trill and breaks up with them after an accident requires them to change bodies into a female (which again, is handled poorly but at least they were trying. Not bad for the 1980s)
Edit: also pointing out that Jadzia is Transfemale, and the recipient of the single most trans-positive televised moment of the last millennium when she met Kor.
Handled poorly or not, I'd say it's progressive. Progress happens in steps, not leaps.
Um actually the agender character basically gets fucked so good she decides she’s a woman only to be brutally re-conditioned so badly handled is an understatement
Reportedly Jonathan Frakes wanted the non-agender alien to be played by a man, but he was overruled. All the members of that species we encounter were played by women.
@@teagenthetiefling5296 Ouch, yeah, that's really bad.
Um actually while the alien species as a whole doesn't have gender, the one riker falls for does identify as a woman and in fact specifically says she only has sex with men
Um actually the tale of "Aladin" is not an early arabic tale, it was added by the French collector/editor who wrote (Antoine Gallant) it himself.

Um, actually, great episode but as a Six of Crows fan I feel like some defense for this book is needed 😆
It's often described as a fantasy Ocean's Eleven, a group of misfits pulling an impossible heist, and most of the characters are from a gang that owns a Casino called the "Crow Club". "Six of Crows", I believe, is supposed to immitate the construction of a card's name (like 4 of clubs or 7 of diamonds) !

"primarily known for its colorful cast of extraterrestrial sentient gems" does not imply that all of them are necessarily extraterrestrial.

Um Actually, Jonathan Frakes had to sit in chairs like that because he has a back problem caused by an injury moving furniture when he was younger.
Furniture kills, people! Be warned!
Apparently that's an urban legend. Honestly, I can't see how sitting that way would be any easier with a back injury, the way he swings his leg would involve the back muscles way more.
From a technical perspective, doing it that way helps to keep his face camera forward. Most people unconsciously lower their head or even bow at the waist when sitting the normal way, which would show the camera the top of their head. Not that the top of Frakes's head is bad, but people want to see actors'
faces.

If someone chimes in early, STOP READING THE CLUE! If you invite people to interrupt, you can't then still give them the benefit of the rest of the clue.
This was the only time I recall Trapp continuing after a chime in. Certainly he'd never done it for as long as he did it this time. I give him the benefit of the doubt and think that he just didn't notice that someone had chimed in until that moment.
My question is whether the contestants can see the clue like we can or whether they only hear it.
I still feel like Gutz knows the answer to every one of these questions, but just lets others play as well.
Me too. He is so sweet and humble, I think it would physically pain him to "Um, actually" someone in real life.

Battlesheep He lives in the anime in general but does lose the millennium eye
Mr. Perfect Cell R Is weird because it’s manga only not by the original creator and takes place in the middle of battle city and the plot revolves around adopted children of Pegasus wanting revenge on Yugi that’s where the wicked gods appear
Trapp dropping Brennan’s name when Jared buzzed in early had me cackling. It was so quiet and subtle, I had to go back to make sure I heard it correctly.
Six of crows is a fantastic book and it perfectly describes the book because not only is the group of 6 characters called the crows, but six crows means a change in money (for example robbing a bank)
I love Trapp improvising along with the contestants' jokes. So much talent!
The actor who plays Riker injured his back before filming started and had to stand or sit in awkward positions to ease the pain so they wrote his casual stance and sitting behavior into the character.

Um Actually, in July of 2020 the SCOTUS unanimously came to the ruling that states may punish or replace presidential electors who refuse to cast their ballots for the candidate chosen by the voters of their state. Electors for the electoral college are still appointed, but to correct Siobhan there is now a recourse of action the state can take in the event of faithless electors.
Yes but this was filmed years ago
Actually this isn't true, the SCOTUS ruling doesn't change how electors are appointed it just stated that states are allowed to enforce laws against faithless electors meaning the electors have to vote in the way states tell them rather than their own free choice. Appointment of electors remains entirely based upon state governments appointing them rather than being elected by voters.
@@weareanonymous353 This is also not true. State governments have no role in selecting electors. Parties choose who will be on their slates for the presidential election, and voters absolutely do go to the polls to vote for their electors.
@@timmyhkvt Only in current practice, not in law. The constitution allows states to choose electors in any manner they like. This is why 48 states appoint a panel of electors from the party that wins the state votes but Maine and Nebraska set aside a portion of their electors to the party that wins their congressional seats. Many states are also considering a proposal to appoint electors based on National Popular Vote rather than their own state vote as currently done.
@@weareanonymous353 No, they don't. The states don't appoint electors. Let's use an example here, to cut down on the vagueness. In 2020, the Democratic Party of Massachusetts selected eleven people to serve as electors, in the (very likely) event that Biden won the state. The Republican Party of Massachusetts did the same. More Massachusetts voters selected the slate of Democratic electors pledged to vote for Biden, and so a month and change later those eleven people went to Boston, and each cast one vote for Joe Biden as President and one vote for Kamala Harris as Vice President. The election is winner-take-all because the Massachusetts legislature decided it should be, quite some time ago, but that's the extent of their involvement in the process. State employees run the election, but they have no role in choosing electors beyond that of any voter.
You are correct about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, though I'm not sure even that would qualify as appointing electors, since states would be choosing a slate rather than deciding specifically who would be doing the job.
Um, Actually, Amethyst is a terrestrial gem, not an extraterrestrial gem. Though she is a gem, she was born on Earth, and is therefore, not extraterrestrial like the others.

The more interesting question is whether or not Garnet is terrestrial. Ruby and Sapphire are definitely aliens, but their fusion Garnet was formed on Earth. Garnet has her own personality and identity. Is her terrestrial status based on her identity or on the gems she's fused from?
Um actually, Toad has multiple voices!
His appearances in the early Mario Party games was a high-pitched child-like voice when he gave out Stars to players. In later games, after becoming a playable character more often, his voice was changed to be more of a terrifying shriek. And even before having a voice, he did have dialogue in the original Super Mario Bros, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!"
Ummm actually the rules text for chaos orb says nothing about throwing the card in the air. The rules text specifically specifically says to hold the card 1 foot above the table and it must complete 1 flip to be a valid use.
"If Chaos Orb is on the battlefield, flip Chaos Orb onto the battlefield from a height of at least one foot. If Chaos Orb turns over completely at least once during the flip, destroy all nontoken permanents it touches. Then destroy Chaos Orb."
It was ultimately banned because it is a “dexterity-based” mechanic, i.e. any rule that depends on flipping or throwing a card is unfair and outside the scope of Magic.
Um actually, Toad talks in Mario Kart: I'm the best!

Um actually, if you can’t get your character out of a bind, Chandler’s Law states, “When in doubt, have a man come through a door with a gun in his hand.”

Um, actually the true protagonist of _Snow Crash_ is arguably Y.T. making Hiro's name something of a misdirection on Stephenson's part.
Also (and Y.T. being the real protagonist feeds into this as well) Hiro is definitely not The Chosen One by any metric. Cyberpunk, as a descendant of noir, doesn't really go in for chosen heroes.

Ummmm actually... Star Trek Deep Space Nine had representation of same sex relationships or gay characters. In the 1993 season 4 episode "rejoined", Jadzia has a same sex relationship with another trill named Lenara. Also, throughout the series the actor Andrew Robinson, portrayed the character Garak as gay.
Um, Actually, I don't normally comment on videos like this but seeing as that's the name of the game: @Um, Actually one of the contestants makes reference to the Arabian folk stories needing an editor but there is little evidence that Aladdin was an Arabian folk story. It was added to the French translation of the Arabian nights by a French author and could have been created at the time from whole cloth by the Syrian who told the story. The only 2 "earlier" versions of the story known are attested by some scholars to merely be back translations into Arabic. (Thank you Wikipedia)
Um, actually, I'm a Constitutional lawyer and I can tell you members of the electoral college ARE elected. The candidates are appointed by the party's nominee for President and then when you vote for that nominee on paper, it counts as a vote for their slate of electors. They are absolutely elected. I know someone who was an elector in 2020. She was elected when my state voted for Joe Biden. Although no states do this anymore, their names used to actually appear on the ballot. Now, you have to find the slate published elsewhere to get their names (the National Archives publishes it), but they are still elected.
Yeah, I'm not sure what they were talking about - I guess within a particular party the slate of electors is appointed, not elected, but people definitely vote in the general election for the slate of electors they want to be effective. (Isn't the fact that we vote for the slate of electors, not the actual presidential candidate, the big thing about the electoral college?)
@@michaelbierce8311 Maybe they meant to say "President" as the thing we don't technically vote for, despite their name being on the ballot.
No, we do not elect the electors. They are appointed. Otherwise, we would have their names on ballots.
I think that they were trying to make the point that Electoral College members are not elected individually by the voters. They are elected as a group for that particular candidate.
Laughing that Six of Crows is in fact about as far as you can get from a happy fun story about kids who discover a dusty old boardgame in the attic. There ARE kids, and there ARE attics...but there are no happy fun times.
*Um, Actually* You cannot have a champion without competing *and winning* against Brennan and Mercer!
So true!
Six of Crows was an amazing book, it's sequel, Crooked Kingdom, was also amazing. Leigh Bardugo is an amazing author I can't say that enough.
I feel the need to mention that six of crows is not a jumanji situation in the slightest. It is however a very intriguing and engaging fantasy heist thriller following a group of criminals on a life or death mission to save the world and make a shit ton of money in the process. It is very good and everyone should read it.
um actually I know this is a year ago but Riker (Jonathan Frakes) had a back injury so his saddle sitting was to reset his back joint and they went with it
I hate to break it to Shioban that Six of Crows is, in fact, nothing like what she has imagined.
Um Actually, we see Nidavellir in Thor The Dark World. When Thor and Malekith was duking it out, we see Nidavellir through a portal due to the convergence
"COOKIE PUSS! I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" - Satoshi the Soul Eater.
Also, Um, Actually, Riker sat like that because Jonathan Frakes had back problems that prevented him from seating himself normally.
Um, Actually.... The story of the player tearing up and throwing the pieces of the Chaos Orb card inspired the card Chaos Confetti from the set UnGlued, in which that is the rule text upon the card. This set also has such crazy cards including: Hurloon Wrangler which has Denimwalk; Knights of the Hokey Pokey (Where you do the Hokey Pokey to prevent all damage from one source); and The Ultimate Nightmare of Wizards of the Coast® Customer Service.

Um, actually, I think there is a card in MTG called Chaos Confetti, that does exactly what Trapp described: You'll tear the card up, then let it rain down upon the table and whatever card any piece touches is destroyed. IIRC, they even have rules for how large the pieces must be and from what height you're supposed to drop them.
Edit: Also, because MTG has SO many cards and SO many weird possible combinations (it is in fact Turing complete and you can set it up to run any computer program in theory), the official rules are massive and includes a lot of very specific cards combinations and moves.
Edit again: Oh, they mentioned Chaos Confetti.
