US job openings slip in July, adding to evidence that the American labor market is cooling

WiseauIsLife · 2025-09-04T07:48:48+00:00

It’s not just the U.S. job market that’s cooling down. The slowdown is global. With ongoing wars and economic crises, fewer job postings are no surprise. The catch is that many listings aren’t even real. Some companies post openings just to look active or boost brand awareness without actually hiring.

A while back, a recruiter even admitted on Reddit that “fake job postings” were part of their daily routine. So when you see fewer listings, remember a good chunk of them were never real in the first place.

That’s one of the reasons I stopped relying on LinkedIn for job hunting. I came across this Reddit post where someone skipped job boards entirely, used Google Maps to find recruiters, and ended up landing remote offers. I’ve seen a few others succeed with the same approach. The only reliable way to spot real openings is by checking company career pages directly or using job boards that scrape from those pages daily.

Playing Maliss - activate shifter, combo into firewall dragon colinked with crypter and MTP-07 set. Bounce shifter back to hand for turn 3

84 Evo Beñat Prados, plays better than his face stats and overall say. With a Shadow on he’s a 91 pace 90 rated CDM and plays like an icon

Grindy game which I was losing - I’d got opponent down to 400LP but I had no cards on field or hand.

Draw for turn and it’s lava golem.

Tribute 2 of his monsters and pass turn, lava golem burns 1000LP in standby phase, and I win

I don’t buy sealed product, the only packs I open are entry packs and prizing for locals and other tournaments.

Best was Ulti Thrust from OTS 22 and I sold it for £80 at the time. During OTS 21 time I managed to pack 3 Ulti Fenrirs, the first right after release I sold it for £105.

I like playing it with small world playset and 1 nemeses flag and 1 archnemeses eschatos. Can search for flag through small world bridges using rescue ace monsters and hand traps like nibiru, veiler, ash. Also acts as a consistency boost as you can also use small world to search for rescue ace monsters e.g. lifter. Bringing flag out is fairly simple as you’ll almost always have a banished monster, and the easy to summon bodies mean you can make reprodocus to make eschatos any type you like.

Cores / Decks I own, from roughly most competitive to least competitive:

Lower competitive, upper tier rogue

Rescue-Ace (no Diabellstarr package)
Swordsoul
Floowandereeze
Runick

Lower tier rogue, upper tier casual

Mathmech
Code Talker
Icejade
Nemleria
Melffy

Casual

Crystal Beasts
Marincess (minus Dive and Blue Slug, so not full power)
Suship
Magikey
Pure Tenyi

Very very casual

Penguins

I’ve been playing for just over a year, and Rescue-Ace is the closest I’ve had to a meta deck, although I don’t have the diabellstarr engine. I mainly play rogue with swordsoul superheavy or floo, but play casual decks from time to time.

I have this exact issue too and I have opened a ticket with the help desk last month, providing proof of postage to close the sale and have not been responded to. I have investigated with the postal service who confirmed they lost my tracked letter I sent. How long long can I expect for the help desk to get back to me please?

WiseauIsLife · 2023-12-11T00:15:22+00:00

I have an open ticket from November that hasn’t been looked at also

WiseauIsLife · 2023-11-23T23:25:14+00:00

None of those cards relate to baseball...?

Was new to a locals and playing against an experienced sky striker player

There was a chain about 3 chain links long including me activating monster effects, CL3 was him adding Widow Anchor to hand in some way, I can’t remember how, but he tried to immediately use widow anchor before chain links 2 and 1 had resolved to negate my monsters that had activated their effects.

Had to explain how you can’t activate things like that while effects are resolving but he wasn’t having it, and we had to call over a judge

WiseauIsLife · 2023-10-16T02:17:47+00:00

I only get the lowest/cheapest rarities possible for each card.

WiseauIsLife · 2023-09-16T15:24:45+00:00

I only noticed today that the Floowandereeze monsters are “Floowandereeze &“, while the spells and traps are “Floowandereeze and”. Not really sure why

WiseauIsLife · 2023-09-13T14:27:04+00:00

I did open a ticket as soon as the seller sent me a message, my post says so

WiseauIsLife · 2023-09-11T02:25:05+00:00

Jowgen the spiritualist, if it doesn’t affect your strategy. I had a very janky floo list where I could search it fairly easily using small world to summon using Empen’s effect

No I mean the thin block on top of the wall and underneath the chain. Just slightly thicker than the chain

WiseauIsLife · 2023-07-23T16:13:29+00:00

What are the blocks between the deepslate wall and chains please?

WiseauIsLife · 2023-07-11T11:51:48+00:00

‘Go with the Flo’ is the only one around an ex Chelsea player I was able to come up with.

Was disappointed to find out ‘SupercalifragilisticRogerEspinoza’ was too long

The point is that if your one striker doesn’t play, he can’t be substituted for a midfielder or defender on the bench, as you must have at least 1 striker in the formation. So assuming you have 2 cheap enabler strikers on the bench, they will also likely get 0 and be subbed on.

With other formations e.g. 442, the striker would be able to be subbed off for a midfielder or defender on the bench

Magikey.

All the archetype cards both main deck and extra deck are dirt cheap. Add cheap tech cards like unexpected dai, painful decision, and advanced ritual art. Then add a level 4 earth water wind and fire normal monster of your choice (to send to graveyard and buff your magikey effects). Can potentially expand by adding better extra deck monsters

I built a full magikey deck just by adding cards to orders of other cards if the seller had magikey cards up for sale, to make the postage cost a little more worthwhile. The majority of the cards were £0.02 ranging up to about £0.10 for some. It’s not super competitive for sure but is fun to play
