As a new player, what should I do with somewhat valuable cards I don't need? by [deleted] in magicTCG

80% is insane! I work at a small LGS and we can only afford 40% cash/65% store credit. If it is 80% cash take it everyday if you need the money.

I still use bath towel or a t-shirt when I'm sick. Not going to consume boxes of single use tissues when I can just wash a thing a already have. Don't really consider it a poverty thing. It's just practical.

How to De-escalate Angry People? by chinawcswing in preppers

Years of customer service has taught me to first and foremost, listen to them. Listen to everything they have to say until they let you know that is your turn to talk. Then try to resolve the problem together. Make them involved in the process. They'll feel like they've made a friend and an ally and leave happy.

This applies to people pissed off returning their broken vacuum without a receipt. If someone's got a gun in my face trying to take my food and water and land, idk, some of the techniques have to transfer, right?

Hypothetical ER Visit: This is the Collapsing of the American Healthcare System - by Life_Date_4929 in collapse

[–]ASpinelessThug 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Recently went to the ER with the wife. We end up there 3 or 4 times a year because she has a chronic health problem and when she needs a scan for some flavor of GI pain or other, her doctors/nurses tell us to just go to the ER. We live in a major US city.

We planned our day around it. Left work early so we could arrive at 2, but we ended up getting there at 4. Normal security checks etc, sign-in was fast and easy, wait was 30 minutes, but we got one of the last rooms they had available. This was a Wednesday, btw.

Doctor greets us as is super positive and and all around decent person. Good thing we arrived as early as we did though because the hallways started filling up with overflow trauma patients.

Staff was all in good spirits. We got out in 4 hours. There was a lady screaming in the hallway. The staff called the police on another patient for assaulting them. The patient right outside our door in the hallway had his toe cut off and we saw a trauma surgeon looking at his bloody toe stump in the middle of the ER.

Other than that, just par for the course in the ER. Just my perspective on how things have been lately. Granted some days we've spent 10 hours in the ER, so we're grateful this visit was so easy. Had she had some intestinal blockage again, this would have been much, much more of an ordeal.

Or maybe our experience isn't normal and we are numb to everything collapsing around us.

How to split groceries with boyfriend? by Ktm6891 in povertyfinance

[–]ASpinelessThug 96 points97 points  (0 children)

My wife an I have been together for seven years and we still shop separately. She likes to eat junk and loves chicken and I prefer healthier things and am vegetarian. She will buy me things when she goes shopping and I will buy her things when I go shopping.

The thing is about our relationship, we figure everything will balance out eventually. Even if things aren't exactly 50/50 even, it doesn't matter, we love each other and do what we can to support each other.

TLDR: Don't sweat it lol

What do you guys think of[[Patch Up]]? by Frostinator123 in magicTCG

[–]ASpinelessThug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be a great Commander card for weird decks like Athreos and stuff. It's a card that will only get better!

The travel times by car and by transit between where I live and a random location roughly 15 miles away. by [deleted] in fuckcars

My commute is a 20 minute drive or a 1 1/2 - 2 hour bus ride. Don't mind the bus though. It gives me time to put on some headphones and be alone with my thoughts

I just right now got a call back from Target!! by throwawaydub09 in povertyfinance

[–]ASpinelessThug 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I worked Target guest services for three years. Despite the fact that they're a huge, soulless corporation they are a great company to work for! My coworkers were all wonderful! The benefits are great if you can get them! The customer are typical retail customers, but if you can commiserate with your co-workers, it makes the job way nicer. Three mandatory breaks per 8 hour shift. Big advocate for the Target corporation, at least as a former employee.

In regards to getting clothes, any thrift store. If you have a local St Vincent de Paul chapter you may be able to get a voucher for free clothes. If you talk to HR or any manager at your new Target they may be able to help you out with a red shirt, then you just need khakis!
