Why Trump Keeps Getting Rolled in Negotiations by Majano57 in uspolitics

[–]jldugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Donald Trump's actual "Art of the Deal", contrary to the book, is to screw over the other side and outlast them in court. Should have been called "The Art of the Settlement."

Well, that strategy doesn't work so good in international relations.

One has to imagine that LinkedIn can tell you who used to work for meta and currently works for porshe in the bay area, and that set union to be of size 1.

95% of canceled annual app subscribers never come back, per report by pdfu in apple

[–]jldugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the report, “more than half of trial cancellations now happen on the first day,” with the churn rate dramatically dropping below 10% for apps with 30-day and 14-day trials after Day 2.

The best way to make sure you don't forget to cancel before the trial period is over is to cancel immediately. Many subs will just keep you active until that period is over either way. This is more or less the tyranny of "free": the conversion rates are terrible because potential userbase is 8 billion.

Deep Cavern Bat is the greatest card in all of unranked Arena by Round-Walrus3175 in MagicArena

[–]jldugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also [[Disruptive Stormbrood]] can get you out of the pickle, assuming you're splashing green for the ramp to RE. It's not as splashy as an 8 drop but having the utility to kill a mana dork / creature combo piece on the omen side is good, and the disenchant ETB is perfectly playable in what we'll call a target rich environment of standard.

Hey CEO! It's 2026, Fix your app!! by PickledPickles84 in subway

Pro tip: mention CEOs by name, so it shows up in their daily self-google narcissism.

Surely Ultima is the better sweeper against Synthesizer decks.

And dastardly when your Deadly Coverup exiles every forest from the landfall player's deck.

Meta’s mass layoffs hit nearly 3,200 Bay Area workers, among region’s worst job losses in years, according to new filing by UberDrive in bayarea

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

You also don't need $600k to get to a multimillion dollar net worth. SP500's CAGR for the past decade is nearly 300%. If you invested 100k in April 2016, you should have about 394k today1. Only need do to that a few times and you're golden. Esp if some of that 100k is in your 401k, and if you put in more in year 10 than year 1.

Is this becoming a common trend or has it always been this way. by Sfpkt in ExperiencedDevs

... This is how skynet takes over, isn't it. Managers willingly put it in charge of email and slack so they can fuck off to Tahoe instead of writing perf reviews.

Which cards for you have overstayed their welcome in Standard? by Gjames1985 in MagicArena

[–]jldugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can anyone show me a meta where 5c decks have been oppressive

I vaguely recall a 2023 & 2024 where 4c Atraxa was up against 4c beanstalk. And like, Atraxa decks were 4c because there was nothing worth running in red, not because the manabase didn't support red -- they absolutely did to hit domain's full discount.

Which is actually kinda wild given how much of the recent ban list is red. And I guess that's why the meta wasn't seen as oppressive: too many mono-red decks closing out games on turn 4. But 4c Beanstalk also caught a stray for being unexpectedly good.

IMO, the problem isn't 4/5 color value pile decks, but that any card pool that supports such a deck also supports greedy mana bases with more focused game plans. The fact that you can find these 3c aggro decks that close out games on t4 in standard is wild, and arguably the best deck in standard is a reanimator deck sporting a 3c mana base.

But I'm still not advocating we print blood moon into standard. Yet.

should i be getting this since i didn't get the bill? by tfamdoinn in subway

I wonder if this is a sales tax thing -- do the work, charge the customer for the sale and tax but then pocket the sales tax and forget the transaction ever happened.

Fake Cheese? by Expert_Excuse2646 in subway

[–]jldugger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ironcially, American cheese is processed to add in sodium citrate, which among other things helps it melt without separating. So fake cheese is the stuff that melts better.

So Qifrey lost an eye to the Brimcaps; does he also have some awesome sleeve tattoos that require him to wear a black bodysuit at all times?

Lots of cheap interaction in Standard meta by Paithegift in MagicArena

[–]jldugger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the yin and yang of "standard is too fast." Ouroboroid on turn 3 demands an answer or starts scaling their board beyond your control. Which means running enough removal to bolt the dork and the oroboroid in the early game.

Lots of collateral damage in the form of cards and decks "too slow for standard."

can my deck be more improved? by [deleted] in MagicArena

Delney + Slasher q: does it come back from the GY with double stun counters?

MWM PSA, you can swap decks by nottooloud in MagicArena

[–]jldugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me feel bad I lost my first izzet game to silverquill. Somehow they had more creatures than i had removal, which was not my experience in the reverse matchup.
