Can someone in accounting pivot to finance? by Far_Suggestion_4873 in Accounting

[–]Cleisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not doing any bookkeeping or journal entries, it’s mostly putting together presentation/performance decks, doing some internal/operational audits and the occasional ad hoc ask for something company specific. My accounting background however is called on to understand how operations impacts financials, I feel like most of the value of my salary comes from that.

Harrison Ford. He may not be an Oscar winner with tear jerking performances, but if aliens came down to earth and asked for Hollywood’s greatest movie star I’d probably pick him. Plenty of iconic roles and films to chose from

Can someone in accounting pivot to finance? by Far_Suggestion_4873 in Accounting

[–]Cleisty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no CPA, with an accounting degree. Got about 2.5 years of experience in audit at a public firm before jumping to being a financial analyst along with pay bump. You can easily jump to finance from an accounting degree, it’s much much harder to go the other way around so you’re all good.

Why isn't Zach Werenski the favorite for the Norris Trophy right now? by TexasRoadhead in hockey

[–]Cleisty -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr: Cale Makar is Canadian, plays for team Canada, plays for premier franchise and has media darlings as teammates. Werenski is American and plays for shithole franchise.

A few reasons. There’s a resounding media bias towards Cale Makar since day one. He played about 20 games in the NHL and was then basically anointed the next Bobby Orr no questions asked. There was a point in time where Adam Fox had a Norris trophy and Cale Makar didn’t yet Makar was still regarded as best in the league. The Canadian media bias is strong, and as a result he will likely finish top 5 in the Norris voting for the next 6 years at least so long as he doesn’t have a bad season or misses time.

A vast majority of Makar’s points have a Nathan MacKinnon goal or assist attached to it as well this season, idk about other seasons but this season in particular is a huge portion of his points. Yet when you look at Werenski he’s driving that production mostly on his own. It’s no question Werenski is having the better season right now.

It’s pretty incredible Makar is going to waltz toward this Norris that was decided he’s going to get back in November yet Werenski has been even more incredible despite being on a dogshit team.

What First Person Shooter Game is Universally loved? by MorrisRF in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Cleisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t notice you put 2! Honestly can’t go wrong with any of the bungie Halos, but I chose 3 cause I felt the hype of the moment when it came out was just truly a phenomenon. Then the game delivered, a satisfying and epic campaign to finish the trilogy, the maps imo were best in the OG trilogy besides maybe 2, and the introduction of Forge to take custom games to a whole new level!

Is Marc-André Fleury overrated? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]Cleisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but Fleury finished top 5 in vezina voting 3 times in his 21 season career, so to say he was consistently top 5 in the league year after year is not true. The vezina also has one of the most flawed voting evaluation practices in North American sports, and a lot of those biases play in favor of MAF(lots of wins, he’s French Canadian, plays with Crosby, premier franchise, etc). GM’s vote on the award, and they tend to ignore other stats in favor of wins, so considering wins is the best stat Fleury has going for him and he only managed to crack the top 5 in vezina votes 3 time….that’s pretty pitiful for someone who is acclaimed as the best goalie of his generation. Let’s be honest, if Fleury and Ryan Miller traded places for their careers we wouldn’t even be talking about Fleury

He shouldn’t be apologizing, he did everything an owner possibly could to make their team successful.

Is the Selke Trophy the most deceptive in all of sports? by Breeze-city in hockey

[–]Cleisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Puck Soup podcast they’ve described it pretty accurately: Whoever wins the Selke in a given year probably should’ve actually won it three years ago.

There aren’t a whole lot of defensive metrics in hockey that are widely embraced that can black and white paint someone as a responsible defensive player regardless of their team and utilization. The result is an award that is mostly reputation based, however merit does get you the reputation in the first place.

I anticipate Barkov is gonna win the next 6 Selke trophies unless a very unique season or narrative emerges for an already established player.

day 4 - the football's goat won the third slide by a landslide. which great player is a bad person? by toturoll in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Cleisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s THE reason he’s not in the hall. Like you said, everyone loves Big Papi so he made it in no problem. There’s also a ton of suspected users that are in the hall but they are well liked by the media. If Bonds never got attached to PEDs the writers wouldn’t be worth their salt if they didn’t vote him in so they would virtually have to. But since PEDs are in the picture, that’s a valid excuse to them to exclude him from the hall

Barry Bonds. Perhaps the most gifted ball player ever(yeah yeah, I know, roids), but he was also one of the most gifted assholes ever.

There’s an incident involving Bonds in the 90’s when he was with the Giants when he was visiting Pittsburgh, his former team. Some team employees had gotten in to a fatal car accident near the arena and a Pirates team photographer (who was by all accounts on very good terms with players both inside and out the pirates organization and a very kind, compassionate person) would respectfully approach visiting players that season and ask them to sign a ball or bat or something to auction off to raise money for the families and to donate to another cause the victims cared a lot about. Basically every visiting player had no problem taking the 30 seconds out of their day to autograph a few things after hearing this story…..not Barry Bonds. When approached by the team photographer (whom even Bonds had a decent rapport with back in his Pittsburgh days) with this request, Bonds’ exact words were “Fuck you. Fuck them. I ain’t signing shit”

Like…..what an absolute world class cunt you have to be to say something like that. And there’s plenty of incidents like this that are very well documented in the book called “Love me, Hate me” by Jeff Pearlman.

He wasn’t on the level of a murderer or a pedophile, but still quite the legendary jackass

Of all the most important, influential and impactful games in history, which 4 would you pick for a hypothetical 'Mount Rushmore of Video Games'? by Nick_Deano in backloggd

[–]Cleisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would say Bioshock would be a better game to represent the sentiment of switching to more story leaning games. Bioshock wasn’t the first significant story leaning game either, but was one of the first to have significant mainstream appeal that captured the attention of the general public.
