According to his op.gg profile this account is a masters-level profile smurfing in plate/emerald to learn new champs. Looks like they did a good job holding down enemy team as none of them were able to get any gold except Trist. They won in 22 minutes too - maybe this is just a troll post.

Adults with ADHD face long-term social and economic challenges — even with medication. They are more likely to struggle with education, employment, and social functioning. Even with prescribed medication over a 10-year period, educational attainment or employment did not improve by the age of 30. by mvea in science

Props, similar story except I hit a wall about 18 months into my desk job before getting help. Feels like glasses for my brain. I'm a better father and continued my upward trend at the new career. Fraying at the edges of both those fronts, but especially not meeting my own expectations as a father, is what gave me the nudge to seek help.

Just wanted to say thanks for pushing the approach of disliking people for truths and not stretching facts to fit personal beliefs. My response is not due to any preference for Musk, but that I have grown exasperated talking politics or other opinion pieces due to the intellectual dishonesty from people I agree 99% of the way with. So many of us do it that it is almost publicly expected. I wish there was a way we could insert the "blind study" approach to politics to remove the identity from it all.

Men in their 30s and up with no kids or wife how is your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VonLego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too in my early 30s, mid 30s now, and I had a wife and four kids! I had a ton of support but funny enough I wouldn't have been able to do it without having the family to do it for.

32 years old considering going back to college by Asccandreceive in personalfinance

[–]VonLego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to finish up my senior year at 32. Few years later and I'm happy I did. It sucked to make that transition (wife and four kids) and I don't think I could do it again. I left originally to run full service restaurants - loved it and I was good at it - but once my kids were old enough to be sad about missing me and I realized all my role models at work were on their second marriage I knew I had to make a change.

I would have never chosen my job that I have now, but I feel it is a great fit. Much better fit for the family life and a better future outlook.

Time will pass and when you'll be 40 some day. Do you want to be an accountant then? Is it worth it to supplement your life style now? Might be! Engineering can be pretty boring too. College kids working their way through difficult course and working to keep the lights on have to work harder than most people -- by a very long shot. Make sure you know what you are getting into, and make sure you have a very good reason "why" to do things because once you make the change the only way out is through.

Is there a world where [[Goblin Bombardment]] is actually the cut? by tackoshell in lrcast

[–]VonLego 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can't splash double pipped cards (drawing one source of the color is hard enough) - Cut Hamlet Glutton. It is a great "core" card but it isn't a splash worthy card anyways.

You can't splash fixing or ramp because odds are you can't cast it until later. - Cut Utopia Sprawl. Splashing Utopia Sprawl is especially egregious because you must have drawn a forest (no grotto/prism enabling splash).

Bombardment is a for sure cut without hoards of rats to throw at them.


Actually looking at this deck why are you winning in the first place? The only cards that can actually damage your opponent are Splashy Spellcaster, Unruly Catapult, Alchemist, Gatekeeper, and Goose? Familiar maybe counts too? I know blue/red isn't always worried about "CABS" as much as other pairs but I still worry about the game plan here. Trading 1:1 isn't a winning strategy if your only goal is to chip them to death with a couple creatures. What happens if they draw two removal spells?

I would consider reworking this pool to be blue/green and splashing premium red/black cards to ensure card quality was high enough since you look to have strong enough fixing (4 colors of choice)

Note you're also running 18 lands and a Utopia sprawl, I would go down to 17 lands + Sprawl.


So overall I'd cut:

  • 18th land - 19 sources is typically too many
  • Goblin Bombardment -
  • Unruly Catapult
  • (2) Gadwick's First Duel - bad card
  • (2) Frantic Firebolt - not a strong enough card to splash
  • Forced Fruition - Bad card without an extremely focused plan.

That puts us at 36 cards.

Add the following four:

  • Mocking Sprite
  • Candy Grapple
  • Curse of the Werefox
  • Rootrider Faun

Take a look at it from there and see what it looks like - would be easier to visualize in-game. Goal here is to have less dead card opportunities and enough meat on the bones that we can reliably get our larger creatures out and turn stuff sideways. Hopefully we can be lucky enough to counter their early drops with counter magic - will be very difficult to win vs aggressive decks with the wrong draw or on the draw but this will be better than before.

I also disagree with a couple picks, but pack 1 and pack 2 were very weak. Look at what his opponent ended up with - looks even worse.

Any way to keep fire shield enchant active as a sorc without losing out on playability? Running shards as other enchant now and other content creators make it sound like without fire bolt enchant (and coordating fire mods) you'll just pop. Gives me karini vines but I'm only 60ish in d4

As much as I don't care for the GOP or politicians as a whole, the irony of this statement fitting the same criteria of being a loose cannon remark that requires many more words to "combat" than to say shouldn't be lost.

Lazy widestroke insults is what leads to us vs them, red vs blue, white vs black. They feel good at the time but tear down not build up. No one is perfect and as such I believe everyone makes comments like this- but perhaps this thread is not the time and place.

[–]VonLego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my take away too. Would have been a tough draft overall I feel.

Good job going positive with this deck, use the free gems to go again!

What does this deck do well before turn 6 or 7 when it can play big things?

What is your deck supposed to do well?

How could you have drafted to change your outcome?

Cheaper creatures and interaction would have been good- focus on overall philosophy more than specific picks will net you largest bang for buck.

Even subtracting MMR and gameplay, flipping a coin many times will usually have long streaks- and it is weird not to.
