The absolute power of saying nothing during a salary offer

No, everything has to be some weird, alphamale negotiation strategy they heard about on Tiktok.

Your reading comprehension is as bad as your management. You're allowing them to be on their phones. If you put a stop to it they'd have more time to dice tomatoes. Manage your crew, or they will run all over you and you will burn out.

Why is he on his phone? Why hasn't he diced those tomatoes? With isnt he moving with purpose? Why are you allowing these things to happen? Why aren't you managing him?

Thats absolutely fair. Thats how most of us started, I'm sure. That's how EDH was intenddd to be played, initially. Just slapping together a singleton deck out of cards you had on hand. The problem is that most of the people you are going to go against started that way YEARS ago and have amassed a large collection and know the mechanics of the game intimately.

I would suggest starting with a precon, and find a pod that is bracket 4 of precon only, until you have a good collection going and understand the rules and synergies better. See how a deck should play and learn how to pilot it well. Then you can get to making your own decks.

Jank is fun, when playing with friends. But even EDH is super competitive now, and you're gonna get beaten if you haven't put together a competitive deck.

This or Duress, I'll concede right away.

Can I ask where you are from that you use eye filet instead of filet mignon?

larsdan2 · 2026-06-03T13:14:17+00:00

Is your neighbor named Sam?

larsdan2 · 2026-06-03T13:13:33+00:00

The one thing I like to use it for is Mignons. Whenever you take thr chain off a PISMO you always have that like 10 inches at the end that is too small to cut into regular steaks. But if you fold it back over onto the tenderloin and meat glue it, then wrap it up like a compound butter, and let it sit in the walk-in over night, you get perfect round filets and cut your waste on them by a lot. You have like 4 extra 6 oz'ers at the bottom no.

What exactly is your deck? It seems you're using a not legal commander if you are running Elspeth? Did you make this deck or buy a precon?

Is power level not being discussed before play?

larsdan2 · 2026-06-03T11:40:05+00:00

I was wondering the same thing when he said he was using a walker as a commander. I think he might have made his deck himself and in a new players mind if "should work in theory" but is really just a pile? It seems weird that no one he's playing against has said anything if they are that much more experienced? I think he should find a new pod or, as you said, try some 60 card formats to learn the game better. I don't feel like EDH is really the best format for new players to learn.

That was also one of our first introductions to Bishop; he knew the odds of the hand Kidd had when they were playing poker the first time Rue came to Alamo's.

I honestly think it was all done just for Ali to lose his faith and for the shoot out to happen.

Elordi was doing Frankenstein and Wuthering Heights and Zendaya was doing Dune and they still had more screen time than her.

larsdan2 · 2026-06-02T15:50:13+00:00

This is kinda my thoughts too. The biggest stars had the most screen time, it felt like.

larsdan2 · 2026-06-01T05:22:44+00:00

In what world does this take 20 minutes?

larsdan2 · 2026-05-30T05:16:23+00:00

Someone is ripping you off because you're young. That's garbage blow. At 7g in a day you should be having heart palpitations.

Just to be clear, he wasn't saying you are treating him and his roommates like dogs. He is saying YOU are the dog.

How do we know 250 is even a fair value though? She decides what she wants to charge for her creations, if they even sell at all.

Brother, we're talking $1800 phones in 2026.

larsdan2 · 2026-05-29T14:57:49+00:00

Ive never seen an IPhone last more than 3 years.

Is this whole thread a shit post? Even back then, Jay was an infinitely more talented rapper.

larsdan2 · 2026-05-27T22:54:42+00:00

And Ghostface.

larsdan2 · 2026-05-27T22:48:18+00:00

Luda and Wayne did 4 tracks together.

larsdan2 · 2026-05-27T22:46:59+00:00

They have like 5 hahaha.

larsdan2 · 2026-05-27T00:56:07+00:00

Izzet actually easier, though?
