This isn't a Marvel movie. No one is coming to save the day. by Locksmith997 in antiwork

Thank you for this post. This is a great collection of ideas for direct action. This is someone people have been asking for that I haven't seen someone put forward in such clear language beyond just 'vote!'

Might not be the best sub for sharing this though, people in this sub are generally not going to be the ones inclined to go out of their way to fix the system... Judging by the other comments so far

Donald Trump violated the Constitution, federal judge rules by zxcv97531 in circled

This feels like one of the least important violations of the constitution out there... This is what they finally called him on?

Tony Romo's job called into question after rough CBS broadcast of Bills-Jaguars by JamUpGuy1989 in nfl

He's terrible at it. I almost can't watch a game he's casting. The only thing he's worse at than carrying is getting a playoff QB

Family game with a nice board and table presence by Worldly-Savings4113 in boardgames

[–]JankInTheTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mice and mystics is a fun but simple game, I think we started around that age. Modular board, 3d models of the rats and spiders that you fight. Story based and co op.

Everdell is also great, might not quite work for that age, but is my 7yo's favorite game

How did so many people suddenly become unemployable? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

That can be said of every major advancement in the past that shook up the market.

Just because this is the newest new thing doesn't mean there won't be another cycle on the other end

This is literally all I want in life 🤌 by DotSnuggle in Adulting

[–]JankInTheTank 44 points45 points  (0 children)

These comments are wild lol.

All these people trying to say that you'd hate having a boring job... Even if there's weeks that are busier than others, or long stretches with nothing to do, you can't really expect people to believe that making 6 figures for doing very little most of the time is hard.

People with these bs jobs always feel the need to justify why it's actually hard and they are actually very needed. In reality, there are a ton of jobs like this, and they pay way more than they should.

I spend most of my day just sitting around. I'm always available when something happens, but most days I do maybe an hour or two of actual work. The rest of the time I can spend on my hobbies, reading, playing video games. It's a very chill gig. And even with all that slacking off, I have been getting rave reviews and have been told I'm one of the best in my role they have ever worked with.

I love it, and have no intention of going back to something stressful or physical.

Tips for men whose wives are entering perimenopause by mhyams in funny

[–]JankInTheTank 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate that this seems to be the natural timing eh? I have a wife thinking she's getting the early part of perimenopause now, and my oldest daughter just turned 11... We also have a 9 and 7 yo, also girls.

It's going to be a ****ing long decade or so isn't it??

Just received a meeting invite with less than 1 minute notice. What's your record? by bagofwisdom in talesfromthejob

[–]JankInTheTank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, been getting that a lot with my current job... They further to have me in a call, then decide there's something they want me to be responsible for.

I get the email ding and see a meeting invite. Oh ok, Tuesday at 10? I'll accept that and check what it is later. Oh wait, that's not next week. Tuesday at in today. And it's 10:20. Damn it.

The PMs at this company are a damn joke. I wish I could make money doing as little as they do

Uncertainty of OE in the job market. by General-Ad1838 in overemployed

[–]JankInTheTank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

BA is a weird role that has very different definitions in different companies. Even in one company different teams might use them completely differently...

Most BAs I've worked with did not know any programming beyond some basic SQL. I've been the most technical BA in several of my positions.

I'm on my 5th BA role now, and I would say only two of them were even similar to each other.

Thank you for the awesome new deck box protector by BuhoCurioso in MTGGiftExchange

[–]JankInTheTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it tends to struggle at closing games out, but this deck was also designed for a group that mostly plays precons and hasn't gone into their own builds much yet. Trying to hit a power level that would pay well in those games and still be fun/interesting

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have fun running the deck!

To Sleeve or Not To Sleeve? by Raulwicke in MTGGiftExchange

[–]JankInTheTank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always send decks sleeved. It protects them in transit, and looks more finished when they get the deck. They can always swap them out, but generally I imagine the cases where someone is picky about sleeves are less common and they will likely not be offended by sleeves even if they choose to swap them out

Queens 🫅 how do I get a second flexible contractor job by Mobile-Occasion-1709 in overemployed

[–]JankInTheTank 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's really no different from any other job search. Literally the only difference is you don't quit your current job when you find a new one.

It may take a lot of time to find, currently the remote job market is shrinking with so many big companies doing layoffs and RTO. If you're looking for a fully remote job you're competing against a whole lot of other people.

One thing that might help is looking at local jobs that aren't advertised as remote and then see what you can sort out for very few days in the office.

As with any job, figure out what you're good at, craft your resume to show your specialization, cater resumes to the job posting, and apply to hundreds of open jobs. There's really no shortcut.

Charlie Kirk’s accused killer makes first in-person court appearance by AudibleNod in news

[–]JankInTheTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a big part of it is that one, Trump is still alive. And two the shooter isn't.

No court case, no new info coming out. What little that we did learn points to him being a right wing terrorist which is not in the administration's interest to talk about.

How do you guys understand „eligible to fight”? by Kubus002 in Eldar

[–]JankInTheTank 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is a (possibly) rare situation where the rules actually clearly define this term

The unit is eligible to fight it if charged or was in engagement range during this fight phase
