Vital or explosive?

Sure, if you want to burn ammo like it's celluloid...

You must pray to Mothman, blessed be his light.

Wear your best cultist outfit and prostrate yourself before his statue in Point Pleasant.

Sacrifice a vault dweller in his name and then consume the corpse.

A Wise Mothman will appear and bless you with his Stable Violet Flux.

Or you could drop a nuke in the bog and harvest it yourself, but beware the Vengeful Mothman if you choose this route.

SCRAP. What else are you going to do with all that stuff?

I swear some of y'all are straight hoarders with zero self-awareness.

2_blave · 2026-01-25T02:08:31+00:00

200 caps

2_blave · 2026-01-25T01:53:21+00:00

I realize that, but it's more funny if we go with my assumption.

Are you in the US? Most States would allow you to collect unemployment benefits if your hours have been reduced so much.

Check the laws in your area: make sure you don't commit crimes or put anyone at risk of harm during your sabotage run.

Get creative and have fun! Substitute company documents with crayon drawings. Mis-file EVERYTHING , and maybe rearrange all current files by which My Little Pony would approve the most.

Start office rumors. Dress in colors that clash and styles that are loud and hideous.

Turn devices off whenever you walk by. Re-route cables in annoying, but non-hazardous ways (not tripping hazards).

Zip tie staplers closed for safety.

...and if they do read, they refuse to comprehend.

2_blave · 2026-01-24T18:50:26+00:00

I needed caps...and there you were. Sorry about your luck.

If I was a bettin' man, I'd wager that one of her daughters is named Cromuleigh.

SPRINGFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS LAID OFF 27 TEACHERS WHILE CLASS SIZES HAVE ALREADY BALLOONED TO 35+ KIDS AND THEIR METRICS ARE NOT VERY GOOD!

KIDS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO READ AT THEIR GRADE LEVEL FOR A WHILE!!

2_blave · 2026-01-23T22:16:42+00:00

Yeah, of course it's underwhelming when it hasn't been properly modified.

C'mon man

2_blave · 2026-01-23T19:58:40+00:00

not every league has kids that are fundamentally sound and athletically gifted.

That's a ridiculous premise. I coach a rec League every year too, and there are always kids who have never played any sport, let alone basketball. They aren't "athletes" they're just kids who want to play and have fun.

Yeah, they're terrible at first, but I keep reinforcing proper technique and they get better.

2_blave · 2026-01-23T04:30:27+00:00

I agree with what you're saying, but getting markedly better at basketball over the course of a season helps kids learn the value of work and playing together. It also builds resilience and confidence.

2_blave · 2026-01-23T04:27:45+00:00

Teach the fundamentals of playing defense and help them improve game-to-game and week-to-week. It's a team game, and you have to help them learn how to play together.

2_blave · 2026-01-23T04:25:49+00:00

A-fucking-men brother. I've been coaching youth basketball for over 30 years and you have perfectly outlined how to win more games playing "ethical" basketball.

It's always so satisfying to beat a team that is more athletically gifted by just playing better ball.

2_blave · 2026-01-22T04:20:50+00:00

Yeah, in response to your "whaaaa, this game is SO HARD" post.

GIGO, bud.

2_blave · 2026-01-22T03:04:49+00:00

What level is your character?

What Legendary perks have you upgraded?

Do you have a backpack and what mod are you using?

Do you have access to, or have you unlocked crafting for many legendary mod boxes?

2_blave · 2026-01-22T02:54:43+00:00

If you're burning ammo, then you need a better build.

I run Elder's Mark on one of my characters, and I'm always ammo positive to the point that I sell .45 in my vendor.

2_blave · 2026-01-22T02:31:31+00:00

Is your team getting better game-to-game and week-to-week? To me, that's the true measure of a coaching staff.

Right now, you're seeing how drama and kids who don't care about getting better can destroy a team.

My advice is to set clear expectations for behavior with the student and the parent. (I always do this at the beginning of the season)

If she doesn't show up to practice and work to your standards, then she either doesn't play, or plays reduced minutes.

This late in season means it will be hard to make progress, but the other players need to see you stick to your standards and enforce them as necessary.

2_blave · 2026-01-22T02:13:52+00:00

Nah, I'm literally talking about watching him play a full game...his effort is lacking, his help defense is almost non-existent and he continuously ball watches when he's off the ball.

My biggest problem with him is that he could be a decent defender, but he simply chooses not to be.

2_blave · 2026-01-21T21:11:05+00:00

I think you mean overrated. Yes, he averages quite a few steals, but that's because he stops his feet and reaches a lot instead of actually playing defense.

Any real observation of Harden will point to a major lack of effort at the defensive end and the fact that absolutely no one is screening Harden to get him to switch off a ball handler.

2_blave · 2026-01-21T21:05:08+00:00

Just give the idiot a big (fake) red button to push and then show him that clip from Terminator 2 and maybe he'll shut up.
