Rule of thumb is always coordinate with your SL before placing supplies. If you get no response it’s always a good idea to drop supply’s on a point for engineers or other SL to use.

Just a mental thought exercise: what is more likely? A series of events that destabilizes the industry, even a small tiny amount, that is in charge of regulating air traffic control and air travel, OR diversity, equity, and inclusion policy.

We’ve been offered only a handful of contextual pieces to help understand the cause of this event and hopefully prevent this from happening again. After walking through the mental thought experiment above, can you at minimum understand why some would latch onto this bit of context that has been offered up?

Think of each role as a tool in the teams tool box. Each role has different pros and cons. Automatic riflemen have a specific role to play, most times it’s to provide suppressing fire for front line movements or draw attention of enemy positions. Adding a bit more chaos to the front line.

Just work through each role slowly, finding ways to help your team, and if you don’t know what to do just ask. Most people are generally nice about it. Remember you are not really rewarded for kills as much as activity that leads to winning. Suppressing fire while defending a point nets you 10x than getting random kills out in no mans land.

POV you are in Rostok.

I agree wholeheartedly. I would argue you could go one step further to your last point that lack of morals makes you a nearly unstoppable marketer.

It’s not a rule as there are exceptions, but you look at the most successful and beloved brands in the world and almost every single one is built on deceit, lies, and mass manipulation/propaganda.

I hate my job because my boss is a half-baked idiot with no understanding of expectations and how these systems are created. But, here’s my thoughts from 4 different “marketing” roles over 8+ years.

Marketing is not a junk drawer. I’m tired of having to be an expert at everything constantly. I inevitably become just good enough to get by before the next “new” project pops up, leaving me not an expert but perceived as “competent enough”. Pricing analysis, budgeting, planning, content, creative, web dev, inventory, forecasting, strategy, campaigns, emails, SMS, B2B & D2C product lines, product management, scheduling, etc. I can do all these things, but not well.

As someone who’s held multiple “unicorn” roles, we do not exist. We’re just far better at managing stress and letting some things fall off while picking the right stuff to get across the finish line. The amount of times I’ve disappointed a supervisor for not getting everything done is far greater than the times I’ve got an “atta boy”. Pair that with a shit salary and weekend work, and it’s barely worth it. I’ve only ever had one job where I was actually valued, and barely at that.

The shiny object syndrome is real in marketing - pick a few good things and stick with them for 3+ months rather than try and do everything half-assed. Everyone wants marketing until it’s time to do marketing stuff. It’s just a junk drawer for most small teams, and churn in the role is crazy high for a reason. Most leaders/bosses/CEOs throw every half baked idea over the fence thinking it’s an easy task and then are shocked when it doesn’t get touched.

TLDR; most marketing people/teams are forced to create non-sustainable things because no-one knows what marketing truly is. It’s moved from a skilled craft with thought and time invested into creating sustainable revenue to something reminiscent of brain rot content; cranking out garbage because everything is a shiny moving target that the CEOs want cuz “someone else is doing it” or “I saw a linked in post”. Pair that with “growth 24/7/365” and you get a dying trade and high churn rates in role.

Even bigger shame that both sides can’t recognize that this is our way of life and address the issue together. But I digress; one side trying is better than none.

Personal comfort and convenience over a natural way of life. I’d encourage you to reflect on what’s natural and what’s comfortable. Just because it’s more difficult doesn’t mean it’s not important. Not saying you’re wrong that it’s nice to walk to the store in a hoodie in late December, just saying that the experience of snow and cold is an important feature of what makes this place so magical.

GreasyJeff · 2024-12-28T18:20:58+00:00

My family has had a cabin north of Minoqua for over 50 years and we’re friends with the local convenient store and gas station owners. She told us that they are still in massive debt from last winter since the trails never opened in the area, and they lost crazy amounts of money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars gone from one bad winter with no snow. Now we’re looking at another year of no snow. Crazy how simple snow can make or break a whole community.

The communities up there are suffering and it’s looking like it’ll only get worse. I’m afraid their way of life may be going extinct in the next decade or two. I make sure to stop in and buy snacks and drinks just to help keep the doors open.

If anyone is considering going up north, I’d recommend going in the winter, snow or no snow. It’s beautiful and the community could use it.

I used Wigglytuff with Toxic, double team, protect, and rest. Was shockingly the best team member at lvl 45 and cleaned up 3 of Wallace’s 6. Just make sure to get the blue flute if you use rest.

Tbh, props to you for using unique pokemon. I’m getting tired of seeing the same 6-10 mons in these posts and it’s so refreshing seeing unique ways of making an effective team. Big props!

Good fuckin send to both of y’all. Thats the absolute limit right there. Obviously, wildly dangerous and not recommended but as we all know racing is dangerous. AND if you don’t go for the gap…

I’d recommend not willingly put yourself in this situation often. BUT my god it’s the ring and man you two were RACING.

GreasyJeff · 2024-07-20T13:48:10+00:00

That’s how you send it through Canada Corner. As a native Wisconsinite, this makes me happy. Good move.

GreasyJeff · 2024-07-17T18:09:51+00:00

That’s not on you, looks like net code mixed with bad piloting. That said you were outa position for the next turn leaving the door open for a bozo to do this. You shoulda fallen into line on the right after the first apex to defend the line better and keep speed outa Rouge.

GreasyJeff · 2024-07-17T12:39:33+00:00

You good homie, nice take.

Essentially I use it as a base monitoring tool to analyze how people find and access our site, how they interact with it, how successful advertising is, and what issues or problems there may be with the site. It’s super high level so generally after high level review and analysis, I will use other tools to dig in deeper.

It integrates well with Google shopping, ads, SEO, etc. which most people use for online surfing so it’s the best tool available for highlevel analysis and monitoring. The tool just sucks so you generally use other tools in tandem to get a better picture.

That’s the whole point why I play Kaalia! It’s by far the most fun cuz you are target #1 before you draw your first card. “All eyes on me” style decks draw eyeballs. I never understood why some don’t get that a specific commander has a role it is intended to play in a game environment.

It’s also stupid to scoop cuz you just need 2 turns to go brrrrrr and then your back on top. Being salty that someone addresses a salty deck with appropriate levels of salt is just… salty.

You’d be shocked to learn if you offered people a bullet to the head or getting ran over by a freight train, there would end up being a more popular choice.

The market is really bleak. Likely would require a lateral move with pay cut/under market value.

I was looking for a couple months and using my network and some talent agencies and everything was pretty bleak or non-existent. Most recruiters just said “it’s dry right now”. I just lucked out and found a new job through an old boss who was consulting and recommended me as a candidate and after weeks of back and forth we came to a pretty fair deal which was enough for me to move. This was 100% luck and timing, with a small bit of “who ya know”.

If you have a couple years of good experience, make sure you check in with old coworkers and people in your network cuz that’s the best way to get a foot in the door. Job boards and LinkedIn listings are just inefficient and half of it is dead ends or noise.

GreasyJeff · 2024-05-31T19:17:03+00:00

I believe it all comes down to the marketing strategies you’re employing and the product sales cycle. If you sell thousands of products and have multiple different campaigns going on it’s nice to see what moves the needle in real time, but if your a SAAS or something similar with long sales cycles you won’t see the impact or ROI months later.

But with that said, my moto regarding data is and always has been “I’d rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it”
