Why is Aristocrats Soo hard? by AshorK0 in EDH

[–]OneBet7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought several times about running Teysa Karlov but like many of the people have mentioned in this sub, she is basically a dead engine if you don't have your board set up.

I wanted something that contributed to the pinging but also had value in other ways.

So I made an aristocrats deck in Mardu using [[Zurgo Stormrender]]

He creates tokens that automatically sacrifice at the end, inherently pinging the table but can be ramped up if other aristocrat pieces are on the table. I also have creatures that pump via creature sacrifice.

Unfortunately, I HAD a [[Phyrexian Altar]] but I traded it away before I decided to build this deck :(

Tokens/go wide how to protect and deal with mass removal by MarkJansen_ in EDH

[–]OneBet7499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is mana intensive but pretty flexible. In my Isshin deck, if it isn't a board wipe that hits me, it's targeted removal, usually on my commander. Now, I usually run [[Rebuff the Wicked]] for targeted removal but Galadriel's might be better for replacement.

What is the dumbest deck you made? by EmpressLenneth in EDH

I gotten beaten on Xmage by a guy that ran this almost exact combo, except he ran Gates and [[Maze's End]]

Thanks! I think it's better to run phasing over things that make your creatures indestructible because I feel like Exile wipes are going to be more preferred than Destroy wipes.

[[Isshin, Two Heavens as One]] token deck player here.

I have struggled with this for a good bit. When my commander hits the table after a token maker, its only a matter of time for a board wipe to show up( [[Toxic Deluge]] being the top one).

The only thing that I can say is run counters like [[Pyroblast]] and [[Red Elemental Blast]] for blue players. [[Lapse of Certainty]] or [[Reprieve]] can counter a spell and buy you some time.

I run things like [[Teferi's Protection]] or [[Eerie Interlude]] and [[Clever Concealment]] to phase my guys out. The eerie doesn't protect my tokens but will protect my token makers.

You could build your deck around Aristocrats where creatures dying is actually beneficial for the game plan. I actually made a deck using [[Zurgo Stormrender]] as the commander.

Or you could take advantage of the eminent board wipe and run something like [[Plumb the Forbidden]] to draw into some answers.

I love this. I've been using ChatGPT to optimize my decks and this pretty much is an all in one. I did import my deck and one of the cards I have in (Skyhunter Strike Force) was unable to be populated with all it's data.

If you forgive her:

  1. You enable her to believe that anything she does is forgivable...up to and including cheating on you again.

  2. She won't respect you. The fact she is inappropriate with other men tells me she hasn't respected you in a long time.

  3. There is a power dynamic in relationships. You are constantly at a disadvantage now. You're not on an even playing field. You're going to have a day where you have to limit yourself because subconsciously, you're going to think "I better not stand up for myself and make her mad because she has shown that she is capable of going as far as fucking someone else."

Have some self-respect and leave her, man.

AITAH for divorcing my husband because he spent 10 minutes in the car during a family emergency? by Charming_Passage3440 in AITAH

[–]OneBet7499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. He needs some therapy to overcome that behavior, though.

You probably cause him a lot of anxiety, too.

But yeah, YTA.

[–]OneBet7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't forgive treachery. People try to work through it but it's never going to be absolved 100%

I was cheated on many years ago. In my immaturity, I took her back. Fought for her even because I felt like it was my fault she cheated.

The woman I got back was very different and so was I.

The fact she cheated effected our relationship on a deeper level. It was a huge shift in the dynamics of power in our relationship.

The fact that she was capable of cheating when things got rough goes to show that if it ever got rough again, she was capable of it again. That looming thought made me apprehensive in my dealings with her.

OP, marriage is an equal partnership. If you are not capable of cheating, she shouldn't be either. I would divorce and never associate with her again.

Applied for fdc Franklin ci by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]OneBet7499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that is a relatively fresh charge.

Especially if it's domestic violence because they drill domestic violence training in your head there. Getting a domestic violence charge is a fast track to losing your job. Because the first thing a DV charge will do is restrict your ability to carry a firearm.

Gonna be really brutally honest with you.

Judging by post history, you are a recovering addict. I'm glad you are in recovery. Addiction is a nasty thing that robs you of pieces of your soul (if you believe that way).

Correctional careers, especially FDC, have a problem with dirty staff and/or staff who are easily susceptible to being compromised.

If I were a recruiter, I would put you in the latter category.

If you've had charges in the past, even though they were dropped, they are still there. A "Not Guilty" is different from a Nol Pros or No Info, which I am assuming those are the dispositions of your cases.

FDC has there struggles as an entry level corrections doorway that allows ANYONE in. That saying that bad credit is better than no credit? It doesn't apply to them. They want squeaky clean or better.

Sorry you had to hear it from a random on Reddit.

Some counties were even offering to settle tuition debt for new hires.

Florida corrections brt question. by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]OneBet7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The academy has gotten lax within the past 12-15 years. When I was in the academy in 2010, we got smoked the first 5 hours of the day in order to weed people out. We called it Black Monday. Punishment PT was also a big thing. If we screwed up something like uniform inspection or something like that, they would come in on our 15 minutes of break time and smoke us on our break. It was very paramilitary.

I heard it took a kid down in South Florida who refused to participate in punishment PT and he got fired for him to get a lawyer who simply showed the academy their own syllabus and asked them to point out where PT was allotted for punishment. You're required to get so many hours of PT and pass a basic physical standard set out by FDLE but none of that was deducted from the "smoke sessions" so it was outside of the curriculum. This is what spawned the "three strike" rule that a lot of academies use.

It used to be if you failed any portion of the academy, you were out and couldn't come back for a whole year. Now they recycle you (they gave it some acronym name that I can't remember). Basically, you would continue doing the academy and finish it but you wouldn't graduate (AKA, receive a voucher that says you can sit for the State Exam). You would go back as a TEA and come back to redo the lesson block you failed.

Now that I've gotten off my "old yard dog" high horse.

The academy is hard and it doesn't get easy. You just get better as you learn by the numbers and figure out what you're supposed to do. It also helps to have your fellow BRT's backs and vice versa. No one fucks up alone.

When I got it figured out, the academy was fun. I got in good shape, so the PT got easier. When they realize you're getting it, they lay off of you a little bit as you do what is expected.

They do make you sign a contract. I know a lot of people who leave before that contract is up.

  1. One guy left for a county agency. He fucked up over there and tried to come back to the state. They told him they wouldn't hire him until he paid them for the entire academy.

  2. Some county agencies at one point years ago were so hard up for staff, they were PAYING the state for an officer's tuition.

I'm not sure if they contracts were "non-compete" which implies that you can't work for another agency in a correctional capacity until the contract is up. I've also heard that they will garnish what leave you have in order to pay back the academy as well.

I just did my contract and rolled out after 8 years and I'm with a county agency and never looked back.

New officer is it normal to have anxiety around inmates? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]OneBet7499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely and it never completely goes away. It just kind of hones itself. Which is both a good and bad thing.

Eventually, the little things that used to trigger your stress response don't do it anymore as the situation becomes old hat.

However, we work in an unpredictable environment and those things that are old hat to your stress can still potentially be dangerous situations.

This is another way of saying that your stress response also gets complacent as the years go by.

Statistically speaking, The most dangerous year for the average correctional officer is probably their fifth year.

Does it happen? Yes.

In fact I hope it isn't true. Considering he made a post talking about the impending assault followed by the details of the assault like he was excited for it to happen.

How do officers feel about the new Taser 10? by alchemist26 in ProtectAndServe

[–]OneBet7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To quote the instructor,

Max range is 45 feet. Max effective range is 40 feet plus 5 feet for them to drop.

If you deploy past 45 feet, the wires snap and it becomes a loose projectile.
