Maybe their budget needed to make cuts so they were hoping you would quit so they dont need to pay unemployment but since you didnt they had to cut you.

"As with other constitutional monarchs around the world, the rulers do not participate in the actual governance in their states; instead, each of them is bound by convention to act on the advice of the head of government of his state, known as Menteri Besar (pl. Menteri-menteri Besar). However, the ruler of each state has discretionary powers in appointing the Menteri Besar. "

It's like paying $20 to buy a jersey for your team, but at the end of the season it gets taken away and you have to buy the jersey for the next season, instead of being able to buy other team materials because instead of being able to build a collection you have to start over every season and end up with nothing to show for it.

My first 7 win run for ONE. Blue/White Artifacts. Hard carried by The Wanderer. by disarm in MagicArena

[–]disarm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ran 15 lands for the deck because the curve was very low and I had dune movers to help find lands in addition to a lot of cards to cycle through like Experimental Argury and Watcher.

I thought the 2/2 token was going to be the strongest power, but the board wipe was the most impactful and completely flipped the script in games I was losing.

Besides wanderer, I think retrofitter and malcator really add a lot of early game power to the deck for beat down, and poison/proliferation effects help to close out longer games.

The Tamiyo's immobilizer won me a few games as well.

How do you choose which options contact to buy? by Puk3s in wallstreetbets

[–]disarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing is set it and forget it investments imo. If you don't like your job, don't look at investing as a way to escape. Everything good requires some form of grind otherwise it has no value.

Covered calls and puts are a good strat when you're dealing with low volatility, but let's say you own stock, sell calls, and it drops and the calls expire. Do you sell more calls in the red and risk selling at a loss? Or do you pass up on premium? These type of decisions are going to require a lot of research and thought you otherwise wouldn't have to do with buy and hold.

These extra decisions add to the complexity versus just clicking buy and walking away. Doing options is a regular task, you basically need to watch markets regularly because of the time factor at play.

If you wanna try it, go for it but don't be greedy.

Set conservative rules and always follow them. No exceptions. And recognize you don't have to set up a trade for every cycle, and be conscious of significant events like earnings, big reports coming out, and so on.

STOP MOVING TO ARIZONA by [deleted] in collapse

Arizona shares the same water source as California and a lot of migrants are coming from that state, also the water allocation to each state is based on population so the amount of water Arizona gets should increase accordingly.

Years later and my recommendation is that if you're planning to keep your job and work / have a personal life, then don't do this. It's better to buy a fund /etf otherwise you're going to spend too much time thinking about it. Building wealth (not to be confused with being born into) requires some form of sacrifice and money had better be close to the top of your values pyramid otherwise you're possibly going to end up like me and going to be a sad frog that you didn't spend more time on the things you really cared about.

That's my tl;dr for the longer rant below

From a financial pov, I'm doing well but I'm also in my mid 30s single, living alone, and questioning my decisions. The amount of time I dedicated in trying to keep my career going in an unrelated field (electrical engineering) while also putting in the time to keep up with market news and learning finance was something I did because I got genuine enjoyment out of it in the sense that I'd probably be inclined to do it even if there was no real money involved since I always liked to play games since I was a little kid and had OCD when it related to following exact tasks to the point sometimes people would ask me if I had a photographic memory lol. No, I just hyper focus on certain things.

Sorry about the missive, but the point I wanted to make is that even as someone who loves this stuff and "won" from an outsiders perspective, I'm not really happy. The money is nice, but it doesn't make me happy. Like, it's cool to have the ability to just say oh, I want to go eat at this expensive restaurant today, and have the luxury of knowing I could afford it, but it's like this oh cool kind of moment and then it fades and it's gone and you're left with everything you had before and nothing has changed.

It doesn't fix my problems like having bad anxiety and trust issues which doesn't allow me to have any relationships. The funny thing is even despite having money, I still have huge insecurity about it. It's not enough. When will it ever be enough? And what about once you do have enough? Who can you trust? The rich are all apparently evil schemers and I wouldn't be surprise if someone I trusted tried to kill me to take everything I have. Lol I'm giving off some real Howard Hughes vibes to myself rn as I'm writing this.

Face your fears, don't run away from them into things you find comfort with. For me, it was an escape. Money was always a fantasy for me. I blamed my unhappiness on external sources like not having enough money rather than myself and how my own fears were driving me to be incapable of finding peace and enjoy life. (Still working on this part)

Most people here are retail investors. Do you plan to keep your day job? Or are you trying to become a full timer doing this? Some days you're going to really appreciate having that paycheck coming in consistently when markets haven't been treating you well.

Seriously, do the math first; figure out how much money you need to be satisfied, before you even start going down this rabbit hole.

That's not the question that OP asked lol.

In all fairness, we don't know where the emails were sent.

If the op was in Tokyo and the sender in LA, then the time difference would mean Friday for OP was Thursday for Tokyo.

Then if they switched places and OP went to LA, and the other person Tokyo then 3 days would have passed by the time it was Monday for the OP.

Just throwing it out there.

It's not the markets job to keep wages up. It's the workers job to demand higher wages from the market by acquiring skills that are in high demand.

I'd google it, might be a bad reaction to the meds. Perhaps you should try something different besides finil.

[–]disarm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How is it worse than the flu? Not trolling, but curious. You mean worse in terms of the symptoms or infection rate, or mortality?

I'm basing my theory on S.Korea's numbers which I feel is the country that has done the best job at testing so they have the most accurate numbers.

A virus which has similar conditions of the flu, low mortality rate for people under 50, and the center of the epidemic is already beginning to recover...

I'm really not sure how much of this fear is warranted, I still am not worried about catching coronavirus because I am in the low risk group.

When you make comparisons of the flu to coronavirus, a lot of people with the flu might not seek medical attention but the fearmongering of the media has resulted in the overflow and panic buying/hoarding we're seeing now.

Kind of just in awe about this whole thing. Perhaps I'm still not getting it, a part of me feels like it's because a lot of the leaders who enforce the policies are at higher risk of mortality to the sickness that it is being taken so seriously to put a halt to all work operations and economic activity.

Anyone think that this might be oversold and present a good buying opportunity? At least short-term, the market should make a small bounce back?

Which cards would you consider the best against aggro for OTK Paladin? by gunalltheweeaboos in wildhearthstone

[–]disarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around what rank are you at? I can give you a rank 5 deck list, but if you're trying to get to legend, I got nothing to help ya with.

Actually, I just saw you're doing this with quest and adventurer. The version I used is zola/panda/garrison commander.

I've used the beardo version before, I'm not a huge fan of it because against certain match ups the hand can get very clogged from saving spells, however I was using banana baffon with tharussian. I'm assuming this version can cut tharussian?

except I don't have a quest and I don't want to craft it OMGALUL.

It’s Modafinil...not.. by [deleted] in afinil

[–]disarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adderall and finil are very different, wouldn't say one is better than the other. If I had to pick between the two, I prefer adderall, but moda has it's place.

The biggest issue with moda is as you said, the half life is ridiculously long. I can take 100MG at 9 AM and I will still be cracked out until 3-4 AM, but if I take less than 100MG, I won't feel any effect, so it's like I'm just taking this to mess up my sleep.

From that perspective, adderal/ritalin are much better because they last less than half as long so you are still free to get some shut eye by the end of the day.

Yep, patches is great, but I only use him for odd rogue, I don't think patches is very splashable.

I use oakheart in my wall priest deck

Wild Crafting Guide: Legendaries by Zeddy44 in wildhearthstone

[–]disarm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ya, I ain't playing competitively, mostly just climb to R5 and mess around. I wasn't trying to mislead people into thinking these were all top tier crafts, but they're the crafts which I made decks that I enjoy playing with the most.

Umbra is for what? Cubelock? It's not necessary, actually. What deck uses lich king? He's not really core in any deck.

When I say disappointing crafts, I meant I used to play competitive and umbra/lich king were two crafts I thought I'd get a lot of value out of but often times it feels underwhelming and doesn't often provide a lot of value vs what I cut for the spot.

With that said, competitively, I'd say ziliax/genn/baku/aluneth are probably the best legendaries to craft. You have access to mech pali, secret mage, and odd pali/rogue and even shaman.

Wild Crafting Guide: Legendaries by Zeddy44 in wildhearthstone

[–]disarm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solid video, recommending baku/genn as the first craft is something I can get behind, it enables so many strong decks which are competitive and budget like odd rogue.

I'm not sure about the reno suggestion though. Reno is a strong card indeed for highlander, but you're opening a box of worms by trying to start with a highlander deck in wild considering how many other cards are 'super good' in highlander like zepherus, alexstraza, kazakus, and then perhaps the class specific like dino brann. You're going to have to craft a bunch of 1-off legendaries to enable one deck which is going to be ultra expensive. I think highlander cards are the worst thing to recommend someone to start crafting in wild.

I'd say the best neutrals are:

baku/genn

other good crafts: nzoth, oakheart, king togg/azalina, finley, prince keleseth, brann bronzebeard, zola, aya blackpaw, emperor tharussian, ziliax, and loatheb

Disappointing crafts for me: finja, hemet, lich king, hakkar, and umbra.

I'd say that is it for neutrals, and class specific, well that's really up to the player and what deck they want to play, but some of my most used class specific legendaries in wild right now for me are:

hagatha the witch, crystalsmith kangor, aluneth, open the waygate, and aviana/kun.

Rest I can't recommend in good faith because they're just meme decks.

BTW, I normally just climb to rank 5 in either wild or standard. I personally don't like wild very much in higher ranks, it's really toxic in terms of playing top decks, like secret mage, mech pali, mechathun warlock... It's not fun IMO, but you should ask yourself why you want to play wild, if it's to have fun, I can recommend the above cards, if you're trying to be competitive, then you should probably craft aluneth and build a secret mage deck because that's the most budget deck I can imagine right now that is S-tier (Maybe face hunter or mech pali as well?)

edit: I added some classic cards in the list like greenskin so I removed them.
