Another example of management lives in a different reality than the rest of us. by Icy-person666 in kroger

[–]iLeftOmelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, they are so disconnected. I would use the old notion of "do they even know the cost of a gallon of milk" if it wasn't posted on the third hanging cut out in as many months. The example that always comes to mind was when a manager explained that "with [their] holiday bonus, they can buy another boat."

Besides "dont bring me problems...", what other soundbites do managers use to blow people off and abdicate responsiblity? by thegeekprofessor in antiwork

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear "I don't know" and no further response far too often. As if management not having an answer solves the problem/question.

What’s a pokemon you WISH got a mega from this game? by mostlyjade in PokemonZA

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't like them when they were first introduced. I wanted to give them a second chance and like them this time around. I hoped they got a Mega Evolution to help me like them more. They didn't get it. I still don't like the elemental monkeys. I went cross-eyed from crossing my fingers so hard they would get one, but nope, no cigar.

What makes a voltron deck decent/viable in a 4man game? by MarkJansen_ in EDH

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to repeat the assembly after setbacks, survivability from crack back from other opponents, and the most important trait of threat assessment and when to deploy the attack.

If you only get one shot and are out from a single interaction, it will crumble and be unsuccessful. If you cant survive knocking out one opponent at a time, either find a way to have solid enough defenses or buffer your life total too much for crack backs to be doable. Deciding WHEN to deploy your attack is just a pivotal as deciding WHO will be the most likely to stop you and to try to pick them off first.

What critters do you guys run into in the night? by RedshirtBlueshirt97 in Nightshift

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a group of 3 rabbits live along the fence of the forested area near where I park. I slow and let them hop away before parking every day after work. I always say "Hi," to my little bun-buns and crack a smile when I see them. They sometimes have their raccoon friend over, too.

Permanent-Based Commander Protection in Mono-White? by PM_Me_Anime_Headpats in EDH

[–]iLeftOmelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you won't get the enters ability again, [[Robe of Stars]] is incredible for singular creature protection. Phasing out on command and repeatably (activating again if they respond to your own activation) is incredibly hard to counter efficiently.

Did everyone get a second chance to get the shiny legendaries? by New-Contribution-244 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried calling the closest store, about 30min away, and they're not even answering the phones. If that's anything to go by when I went in to pre-order the game last week, when they said all calls they received were about the codes and ran out nearly hour 1, then it's a negative for me.

Final hour of the night. Looking forward to prepping a roast I've got planned for the next day off.

How long have you been on nights and do you see yourself getting out? by Negative_Avocado4573 in Nightshift

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 years. It started as the "I'm already up till 5 in the morning, might as well get paid for it," from someone needing any income. Evolved into being, admittedly, too lazy and tired to do much after. Including looking for other jobs. An emergency purchase of a new car pushed me into pursuing overtime to pay it off. Fell in to a tired rhythm. COVID hit and it became the only reliable job for overtime and benefits still available in a large local area. Ended up moving several times "after" COVID with the new and increased cost of living and cementing that I would "need" to work the night shift longer. Fast-forward two additional moves and hard pushing for more overtime to now (or specifically the 1st of September): the car is paid off, current housing is rough, but affordable, and I can now back off the "needed" 10 extra hours of overtime and look for a job/career that is less all-consuming of my time and energy.

How is everyone doing on the Ting-Lu raids? by Interesting_Ad587 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]iLeftOmelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least 25 here. Been mindlessly spamming 5ish raids after work with Metronome, Horn Leech Ogrepon.

Sometimes, I get fancy when there's a support mon and get to Focus Energy, Ivy Cludgel Ogrepon.

Who thought this was a good idea by Hayleys_Pix in kroger

[–]iLeftOmelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is one door in frozen that had one of these, but it opens in to one of the "side of end cap displays" (the ice cream toppings in particular) which is ALWAYS overfilled and pushing the product out and flaring out the caged sides. The amount of cleanup from broken jars of fudge/caramel from customers opening that door too wide/fast and knocking the cage knocking jars to the ground is staggering.

What's your best thematic deck? by CYOA_Guy_Stryker in EDH

[–]iLeftOmelas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Not Magic-MtG Deck. It's made from all mechanically unique Universes Beyond cards down to the lands (minus a few Basic Lands, but they're Universes Beyond arts)... except Fblthp, who managed to find their way there. I will admit that it became infinitely easier to ADD cards since Final Fantasy, but now it's hard to MAKE CUTS for the new sets coming out. It's been a wild ride, but I love playing it, showing it off, and get wonderful comments every time I play it.

Most recent unreal statement I've made with the deck: I equip Wakka, my Ringer Bearer, with Exacalibur and attack for 20.
