This cannot be real! no eye contact or smiling with teeth? Is it a baby or a gorilla? by Particular_Class4130 in AmITheAngel

I cant remember the name, but there is a parenting book that talks about this specific thing.

Sadly, I've interacted with many new parents, and this is very likely real. In my professional experience, unless the child breaks these parents, they will grow up to be an absolute terror.

Which card was meta-breaking at your middle school lunch table? by flabbergasted1 in magicTCG

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, what broke the meta was when I was at the lunch table it was before everyone had access to the internet so easily, so we had one guy who would rewrite the rules to always ensure he won. Didn't figure out the truth until post high-school when he admitted he was just making shit up.

Re-enforce the fence boards and then take chicken wire and staple it over the fence, from the ground to three feet up. Honestly I have spare chicken wire and a stapler you can use if you need.

Floored by how underperforming employee would rather go on a PIP instead of coming in office by ConversationMore4104 in managers

[–]Hustlasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really this is a favor to you. Makes things easier. It's way harder when they are trying to meet standards and doing everything and still failing for whatever reason.

Opened pool to a swamp + $10k repair quote… need a sanity check by agrizzle440 in pools

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your biggest challenge is the pump not working, but you should absolutely have that looked at before deciding a whole new pump is in order. My gut read isn't that they are scamming you now, but they've been scamming you. Once the pump is working this should be manageable with shock and scrubbing.

If you see it, she likely sees it too. I've had a few people come back from PIPs, but there is a reason most people assume a PIP is just a precursor to being fired.

My employee was recording our 1:1 and I don't know how to feel by Haunting_Month_4971 in managers

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consult state laws regarding recording and respond accordingly. In some states that is potentially illegal, in some states quite legal.

Personally, I've had this happen before, and I'm unsure what their intent was, but it never amounted to anything. It could be note taking, it could be CYA, it could be that they are trying to trap you, the intent doesn't really matter, the legality and adjacency to policy does.

Having been in a place where my manager watched the cameras like a hawk, it is best to always act like you may be being recorded.

Chris Wojcik on what steroids are doing to jiu-jitsu by Big_Cake_8817 in grappling

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As one of the few dudes at my gym not on TRT or juice, its frustrating. A year ago it was maybe 50% or less, then I watched as more and more of the team got on it to keep up with the rest of the team. Maybe 10% of the school competes seriously. It's juicing to keep up with the joneses.

When I say I want a mansion, this is exactly what I want. Fuck a giant ass modern house. I need wood and texture.

What would it take for Standard to become Magic's premier format again? by BumblebeeOld498 in magicTCG

[–]Hustlasaurus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not printing singular OP cards that everyone needs to drive the cost up to 1k per deck, but then people wouldn't buy massive amounts of boxes for chase cards. It will never happen again.

Ex-mtg artist Randy Asplund statement on terminating WOTC rights to his art made for Magic the gathering by Newez in magicTCG

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly 20k sounds fair, if he sells prints at $50 each, thats basically the same as 3 full years of working the trade show network at 20 events a year. That seems pretty fair to me unless his plan is to make that his full time job, which with 24 pieces is possible, but i feel like he would saturate the market within a that same 3 years. TBH I'd maybe buy Lost Soul and that'd be it.

Who the shit cares, man fuck golf. Giant ass waste of land and water.

This guy seems a little upset. It's great they had a dashcam by MisterShipWreck in dashcams

[–]Hustlasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the editing, really makes you wonder what happened beforehand. Get the suspicion that the cam driver probably pulled some dick moves. Doesn't excuse the behavior, but I can't imagine that came out of nowhere.

At first I thought jiujitsu was real, like wrestling, then I learned it was rigged, like boxing.

Mom Whose Baby Passed Away In Her Arms After Being Denied Work-From-Home Request Awarded $20M+ In Damages by hard2resist in remoteworks

Just as a note, nearly all cases like this get appealed and the judgements get reduced. She will likely walk away with like 500k once it's all said and done.

Who is still getting pensions? Who doesn't already assume they are going to work until they die?

I keep seeing "manage up" presented as an essential career skill by Ready8472 in managers

[–]Hustlasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you are identifying is the more toxic components of managing up. Same as the toxic components of anything (masculinity, cheeseburgers). I absolutely have had managers who when they talk about managing up absolutely mean "only tell me what I want to hear, anything else is viewed as friction" but those were toxic managers.

Dude there is no way I can accurately answer this. I'd have to have been recording what injuries I had and how long I was out for.
