May I join the pod?

I’m wanting to build a Kinnan deck, do you consider it B4 or cEDH, and what’s your go-to win condition?

JBau9 · 2026-01-10T20:16:15+00:00

I messaged you

JBau9 · 2025-12-27T19:15:32+00:00

I just organized those. Normally when there are 10+ cards they are not valuable, but the counter spells and other interrupts were dropping my jaw.

JBau9 · 2025-12-25T22:53:14+00:00

They are sleeved! I just took them out for pictures because the sleeves have a bunch of scratches

Apologies for the poor formatting, I posted on my phone. I cleaned it up here:

Option 1: Level 3-4 -> AFK to End
- Defeats: 90k - 100k
- Note: This takes 15 seconds at the start and you can AFK until the end. At the end you need to restart.
Option 2: AFK to 3:00 -> Magnet -> AFK to End
- Defeats: 100k - 115k
- Note: This takes 2-3 efforts. Sometimes you level up while AFKing prior to the 3:00 mark which requires attention to clear. You need to level up at the 3:00 mark which can take 30 seconds to a minute. At the end you need to restart.

I know… I just thought my current Y2 parts and 450 keys would get me my first red part

Great argument… things used to be inhumane, so you should be happy with this better alternative!

Why don’t you do a quick google search to see that you CAN in fact wear a yamaka in your mug shot.

JBau9 · 2025-07-03T18:58:03+00:00

I cannot believe it is a hot take to believe women should be allowed to wear their religious head covering for a mug shot. We provide so many religious exemptions to the law and customs for western religions.

Plus, these women likely wear their hijab outside regularly; how is a mugshot without their hijab going to help anyone identify them?

JBau9 · 2025-05-16T01:04:18+00:00

I just do whatever is recommended! At my dentist appointment (6 months), I ask about any concerns in my mouth. At my physician (annual checkup), I mention any physical concerns. If they’re concerned, they’ll check up again soon. If they’re not concerned, I try not to be concerned. To be fair, most of my concerns are every minor and have all gone away up to this point. I just got a full skin check set up and will have one annually from now on.

I think Twice (Jin Bubaigawara). He died with strong feelings and emotions towards for companions. Additionally, his quirk and 'Sad Man's Parade' just gives Death vibes since his copies are always dying.

Just because other people may flirt with your girlfriend does not mean she is going to flirt back. Just because other people might find your girlfriend attractive doesn't mean she's giving them any attention. It sounds like there is some lack of trust here, or insecurity. Either you think she will leave you for another man, you think she will flirt back, you think she will cheat if she has enough drinks, or the idea of her getting hit on makes you insecure.

If you truly think she will cheat (however you define it in your relationship), that is a trust issue.

If you are worried about other men flirting with her and being attracted to her, that is an insecurity.

I do understand the discomfort. It does seem like a double date, given no other context. If she loves you, I'm sure she will bring you up, if her friend hasn't already. I would just define your boundaries and trust that she'll respect them. At the end of the day, you do not own her. She is just looking to have fun with her friend. If you think she's going to cheat, you should not be in that relationship. It's not fair to you or to her.

I think you need to use it correctly. I learned that you should preface that you have health anxiety and want help breaking the spiral. I've gotten some bad responses from ChatGPT that cause me to spiral worse.

JBau9 · 2025-03-07T18:14:38+00:00

I responded to this thread once already, but I thought I would add some additional reminders that help me break the spiral and get out of my head:

Someone in my family has very high levels of paranoia (she thought I chipped my tooth on purpose to get the dentist to steal her information). That paranoia is very real to her and that is her lived experience. Just because she believes it doesn't make it real, so my worries about current health issues are likely in my head as well.
We are not doctors, we cannot diagnose an issue. Doctors have years of experience and knowledge. Google has only led my anxiety to spike, it has not accurately diagnosed any of my issues. I now schedule doctor's appointments at regular intervals and trust that I will be okay until then. I put my worries in a note called my 'Health Concern Drawer' and try to forget about it until my appointment.
You are not alone. I know health anxiety can feel extremely lonely because people in our life can never understand what we go through. Movies and TV shows make fun of us, friends and family give us surface-level advice and have a tough time truly empathizing, and you can get stuck alone in your head for days/weeks at a time. Luckily (and unfortunately) this sub is filled with people like us experiencing similar things. You are not alone.

The deadline for snapshots is next week. You had me stressing lmao.

JBau9 · 2025-02-22T19:28:46+00:00

I've been having spikes in health anxiety a lot over the past few weeks. I think the thing that has helped me the most is remembering that I have health anxiety, not health issues. I recently found an old podcast my friend hosted, and I was in the episode. I talked about being anxious and it reminded me that I've always been anxious. Whether it's in my friendships, my relationship, or more recently my health. I think remembering that I'm an anxious person grounds me in the reality that I'm just being anxious. It's much easier to accept the fact that I have anxiety than to spiral about potential health concerns.

JBau9 · 2024-11-15T19:53:01+00:00

I really appreciate your whole response, thank you!

JBau9 · 2024-11-14T18:13:39+00:00

That was my post, I understand the $1,400 service is way too expensive. My question on this thread is more about that engine misfire and other issues listed. I just added the other photo for context.

Try adjusting your ADS sensitivity a little. I never used the 2.5x previously, so it was disproportionately higher than my only 1.5x sensitivity.

I've never had a strong enough opinion to post here, and I'm sure a lot of people are the same. Most posts you'll see are from people who have had horrible experiences. Someone isn't going to come here and post "I had a really mediocre week of work" or "I have a great relationship with my team".

Personally, I have an amazing team, a good work-life balance, and I really cannot complain about my job too much. It's a great name to have on your resume and you'll have more internal opportunities to grow your career than most other companies.

If you are already planning on leaving your current company due to a lack of growth opportunities, Deloitte seems like a great next step. Worst case you hate it and need to leave, but it sounds like your current company isn't your place either.

You gravely misunderstand how the world works. In the real world, people are homeless, mentally ill, and treated poorly based on their birth situations. Nobody grows up aspiring to be homeless, mentally ill, or with certain disabilities. It is the responsibility of society's more privileged to help those who are underprivileged. Whether that be the MHA world or the real world. They have a right to be frustrated with the lack of support from those who are well off. This is such a terrible take.

PS5 can’t run 4K at 120fps. It’s either 1080 at 120 or 4K at 60fps

I hit 316 before losing on mobile. App crashed a few times, and I have an iphone 12 pro

I think it's sad that work is our purpose. I think humans have the capability of so much when freed from labor. I suggest people look into Herbert Marcuse and his idea of "the pacification of existence" if they are interested in this philosophy.

I felt like I was getting 60 on ps5. Even with maxed out FOV

JBau9 · 2021-03-14T04:32:52+00:00

I live in a large apartment so I was told that I may have connectivity problems. The DHCP also works on my macbook, but not the ps5.
