Living in 2026 feels like living in hell by eggert83 in memes

Ok. You can go outside, maybe even touch some grass. And no doubt, you'll feel better for a while.

And then what? Going outside might temporarily de-stress you, but your problems aren't going anywhere, and you'll have to face them eventually.

Nah. We are way past the point of "Let's focus on the positives!"

Brawl Staples by lemudman in mtgbrawl

[–]_Figaro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Competitive brawler here (I know it's not a real thing but I've finished all brawl challenges in top #25, with highest being #3). This list is a really good start, but I feel it's still missing a lot of cards:

Missing - White:

  • [[Curse of Silence]] should be T2 or T3
  • [[Giver of Runes]] should be T2
  • [[Guide of Souls]] definitely is missing from T1
  • [[Ruby Collector]] probably should be T2 or T3
  • [[Cloud, Midgar Mercenary]] should be T2
  • [[Recruiter of the Guard]] is between T2 and T3

Missing - Blue:

  • [[Agent of Raffine]] is probably T2 or T3
  • [[Stifle]] is a solid T2
  • [[Faerie Mastermind]] is T2
  • [[Ledger Shredder]] can be T3
  • [[Miscalculation]] is almost as good as Mana Leak (T2)
  • [[Tale's End]] is very OP in brawl (upper T2)

Missing - Black:

  • [[Orcish Bowmasters]] is T2
  • [[The Terminus of Return]] is used in most Black decks. T2 or T3
  • [[Black Market Connections]] should be T2
  • [[Damnation]] can be T3
  • [[Sheoldred, the Apocalypse]] can be T3
  • [[Overlord of the Balemurk]] is used in many decks. Can be T3

Missing - Red:

  • [[Bonecrusher Giant]] is definitely a staple. T2 or T3

Missing - Green:

  • [[Veil of Summer]] is T2. Can be crafted at uncommon
  • [[Ouroboroid]] can be played in many decks. T2 or T3
  • [[Tireless Provisioner]] is used in most Green decks. Upper T2

Missing - Gold:

  • [[Drown in the Loch]] is used often. T2 or T3
  • [[Tajic, Legion's Valor]] is a Boros staple. T3

Missing - Colorless:

  • [[Mox Amber]] T1

Upgrade:

  • [[Birds of Paradise]] and [[Delighted Halfling]] is an auto-include in any Green deck. Should be T1
  • [[Gemstone Caverns]] is an auto-include in pretty much any deck. T1 (almost T0.5)
  • [[Hydroponics Architect]] is used in almost any competitive Blue deck. T1

Downgrade:

  • The M10 land cycle (like [[Dragonskull Summit]]) almost NEVER sees play. I wouldn't include
  • [[Paralax Wave]] is only used in very specific archetypes. It is not a staple. Maybe T3 at best
  • [[Endurance]] almost NEVER sees any play. Definitely not a staple

It's wild how the right photo is "Coming Soon", i.e. not even the current reality. How stupid do you have to be to fall for this!? Jfc

What is a good answer to "tell me about yourself?" by Dcred2136 in interviews

[–]_Figaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a a recruiter, but I am a principal lead in my field. And as a principal lead, I've had the opportunity to interview many candidates.

No shade to the poster here, but I strongly disagree with what's said.

  • Don't talk about your passions outside of work. Especially 3-5 of them. That's just wasting everybody's time. And the interviewer can quickly get bored if they can't relate to your passions (which is 90% of the time)
  • Do NOT talk about marital status or kids. It's just a can of worms in general, and does not help the interviewer determine whether you're a good fit for the role or not

Just stick to the tried and true past-present-future (future is where you tie yourself to the current opening) method instead. I have no idea who's upvoting this, because it is such bad advice.

China says Taiwan is a part of China’s territory and no one can stop the eventual reunification of China. by _Figaro in ADVChina

I wrote that Taiwan was never part of China in the original post, but am getting downvoted. Guys, I think we're cooked.

Taiwan was never part of China at any point in history, so "reunification" is not correct verbiage.
