My Response: I find it funny that it keeps calling it not a snapshot despite that being exactly what it is. It also downplayed some really strongly negative things I wrote, but eh, that's okay. What it describes about my usage of Obsidian might be accurate, but it was making that up, because the context provided doesn't show that.
The suicidal MTG desk was inspired by Magic The Noah's I Made A Magic Deck That Doesn't Play Magic video. It was a very fun way to introduce myself to playing MTG, and meeting other players. I also find it funny that it highlights spending $12 on specific things and ignores that I spent $60 in total, despite that being highlighted in the source.
The daily questions bit gives "examples" that are the only things shown. (I used a template to randomly choose from a massive list, but it doesn't see this context, and hallucinates that there are other questions. :D)
The finances talk is wild. The Amazon thing is that they kept withholding pocket change when a refund was issued. (Just because it's a small amount of money doesn't mean it's okay for them to get away with it. A penny to you is millions to a company when they do it to everyone.)
It also highlights the built-in bias that it assumes Marx would focus on individualism in any form when his works were about collectivism (and how individualism hurts us all).
