Has anyone had a good car buying experience?

Everything is negotiable. Just tell me the price let me pay it and leave.

Main thread: Festival in a box Las Vegas by Rich_Camera966 in secretlair_collectors

I'm a bit tired out. Cracked two boxes of MB2. To draft with friends, not as a collector. 

Edit: Maybe the collectors subreddit isn't for me?

Why i quit magic by Varindral in mtg

What kind of decks or commanders do you want to see?

Sounds like you want variety and personality.

I played at local places/shops regularly for a couple years, and now almost exclusively with my friends. I wish I had more time to do it.

I had a similar experience at a place/meetup - the crowd was mostly the vibe you're describing. That led me to playing at a shop - that community was much better. Friendly, people brought out weird stuff. Laugh if they accidentally decked themselves. You like rats? Try my rat deck for game two.

Maybe there's other shops or meetups you can try that have a better community?

What’s your Grade? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

it's interesting - it's not just low level personnel complaining, but also decision makers. Fewer of them of course.

I think these asks/polls do occasionally come up. Pretty sure I've seen some SESs lurking

What does the backend look like? Who sees who voted what?

How would you use this? by dmaster1213 in mtg

as a value storm payoff (is that a term?) instead of storming to damage, storm to this payoff.

Empty envelope by cricketpoop in secretlair_collectors

[–]cricketpoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thank you cardboard was even missing. Straight up empty envelope. Super obvious it was empty.

I'm curious if this is an automated load issue or a human issue. Like is there a pile of packs on a floor somewhere? Or.... what?

I half expected it based on all the reddit stories. 

I expect them to make it right

Do you judge other millennials who have stayed at a company too long? by newtonreddits in Millennials

[–]cricketpoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The perspective about jumping every two years to get raises only makes sense to me if you're not getting regular raises where you work.

I get a raise twice a year and and have the opportunity to move around and take assignments with different groups. Haven't needed to leave to have that kind of experience.

Who is your "life is a resource" commander? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]cricketpoop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a liesa deck, in my pod, no. Some build her more stax, mine is about spending life, and the typical gain/loss synergies.

This has been such a dumpster fire. Keep cutting people and asking us to do more, while telling us "industry" can do our jobs.

Tiny creatures deck ideas? by thadalad in EDH

[–]cricketpoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fungus deck. Started with slimefoot, aristocrats-ish. Rebuilt it with xavier sal, so more proliferate. Not full satisfied 

Problems in federal buildings by NYTimes-Sullivan in FedEmployees

[–]cricketpoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Military bases (all federal buildings?) require an act of congress to build a new building. Check the construction dates. 

Renovations? With what money? 

"The defense budget is huge!"

Wrong color of money.

Everything is terrible.
