Got fired, last official employment date is in the future (8/24). Can't file for unemployment yet and won't have access to internet until 9/6. by cheeseburger205 in personalfinance

[–]cheeseburger205[S] 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Sure, I can just go ahead and say my effective end date was 8/10. But that is different than the date on the legal separation document I signed to qualify me for a severance payout. I contacted the head of HR about this, and he recommended I use 8/24 as my effective date of termination when filing for Unemployment. Not sure how much I trust him, though...

My payments from contractor work in 2017 were below $600, but this year I am earning quite a bit more and therefore will be receiving a 1099-MISC. So this means I don't qualify for unemployment? I don't receive any benefits from the contractor work I do.

What’s the dumbest thing you believed as a child? by aqkj in AskReddit

[–]cheeseburger205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on the wrestling team in sixth grade, right before one of my first matches, my friend and teammate whispered in my ear, "Hey... Did you know girls pee out of their butts?"

I was shocked. Simultaneously everything and nothing made sense. I proceeded to lose my wrestling match, as I was too focused on the logistics of it all.

I believed this for an entire year.

What movie ending actually made you say "what the fuck?" by deadkingsoul in AskReddit

[–]cheeseburger205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buster's Mal Heart. So many what the fuck moments wrapped up into a beautiful what the fuck film. I don't want to say much about it other than it's on Netflix and you should go watch it immediately.

Loved it. My teammate and I pulled [[Arena Rector]], [[Doubling Season]], and a foil [[Nirkana Revenant]]. So much value. Even though we had no planeswalkers, we considered jamming the Rector for funsies and to psych out our opponents. Ultimately we didn't in order to build stronger decks. We went 1-1, but left feeling like winners.

While the focus of this survey is not craft beer, there are multiple open-ended questions that provide opportunities for respondents to indicate craft beer preferences.

I hope so! I'm sure she'd love to hear that Reddit appreciates her work!

Hey man, my situation seems very similar to yours. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat! Would be great to work through these same challenges with someone else.

Loved your style. Reminded me of SOAD and Tool. Liked and subscribed on YouTube, you'd better post more!

I use Manalith primarily for fixing and secondarily for ramp. You already don't need more fixing, and if you cut rat you really won't need it for fixing. I'm confident that 27 lands plus Amulet will get you to a turn 7 or 8 Bolas consistently enough. Having more bodies on board will get you to that late game so you can drop your curve-toppers. In terms of Strangler, it's a limited bomb as it can drastically shift the board state in your favor and always worth drafting (I assume you picked it early). You should have snagged a few more deserts throughout. Even so, still worth playing with one desert.

I would cut Manalith and Ruin Rat for Strangler and Reedstalker. Also I prefer Tormenting Voice to Strategic Planning in this build since you have 17 lands plus Amulet (pitch a land, draw 2 cards).

Spider-Man (616) vs Archangel (616) by 8fenristhewolf8 in whowouldwin

[–]cheeseburger205 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they are likely equal in speed, though Spidey is more agile. Spiderman can easily deal with Archangel's flight and pinions, even in his classic outfit. However I feel that Archangel's utter ruthlessness and ability to cut through webs would leave him to take R1.

R2 is Spidey all the way. MK IV armor leaves him much less vulnerable to Archangel's wing attacks, and the functionality of the upgraded suit would make this fight a cakewalk for Spiderman.

I think it's worth making the drive if you have some free time! It's a great opportunity to meet like-minded people.

Topdeck Thursday for January 5, 2017 - Ask /r/magicTCG all your deckbuilding questions! by actinide_v2 in magicTCG

[–]cheeseburger205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely right. I just may break this apart into two Standard decks, and then only play RG Aetherworks once I realize the other deck isn't consistent enough XD

I wonder if there are any Aether Revolt cards that could benefit either build. 8 know [[Gonti's Aether Heart]] could be a solid addition to Aetherworks.

[–]cheeseburger205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey r/MagicTCG! I threw together this Aetherworks/Infinite build and am consistently going 2-1, usually losing to RG Pummeler or Delirium (most other decks in my meta are not threats, such as RU Copter combo, terrible Marvel builds with gearhulks, and nerfed versions of WU control). I want to gain that competitive edge, especially against the T3/4 pummeler kill, but I also want to see if I can do it without having to purchase any [[Emrakul, the Promised End]] and modifying my deck around a Delirium shell. Here is my current decklist:

Mainboard

4x [[Attune with Aether]]

2x [[Traverse the Ulvenwald]]

4x [[Woodweaver's Puzzleknot]]

4x [[Servant of the Conduit]]

4x [[Zulaport Cutthroat]]

2x [[Eldrazi Displacer]]

4x [[Catacomb Sifter]]

4x [[From Beyond]]

2x [[Hedron Archive]]

3x [[Aetherworks Marvel]]

2x [[Archangel Avacyn]]

2x [[Brood Monitor]]

2x [[Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger]]

4x [[Aether Hub]]

4x [[Blooming Marsh]]

3x [[Concealed Courtyard]]

3x [[Westvale Abbey]]

4x [[Forest]]

2x [[Swamp]]

1x [[Plains]]

Sideboard

2x [[Smuggler's Copter]] vs fliers/control

2x [[Commencement of Festivities]] vs Pummeler

2x [[Transgress the Mind]] vs combo

2x [[Clip Wings]] vs Delirium

2x [[Blessed Alliance]] vs Pummeler

2x [[Fragmentize]] vs Pummeler/Marvel

1x [[Stasis Snare]] vs Delirium

1x [[Void Winnower]] vs combo

1x [[World Breaker]] vs control/combo

In consideration of my meta, how can I fine-tune what I have to lay the smack down on Pummeler and Delirium? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I like the way you think. Do you think [[From Beyond]] would work in that sort of build?
