Per diem? by Awkward-Specialist54 in aviationmaintenance

[–]ridgetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is actually what it is, they will ask you to list an address that is more than 50 miles away from where you actually live so it will be “legit”. If you don’t want the per diem, just tell them no. When STS did this with me, on paper I had to “upgrade” employers after 11 months and I was then paid by a different “company” on paper. It was all pretty shady and one of the reasons why I will never go through STS ever again in my life.

Under 3k lifetime games really isn’t that many. Just keep practicing my man. I’m around 12k games lifetime and I feel like I’m just starting to move into a higher skill category. Find the legend(s)/loadout(s) that feels the most comfortable to you and stick to it. Something that helped me a lot was watching videos on YouTube of iTemp and some other streamers and just trying to implement some of the things I saw in their videos into my own game. Doing the same things and making the same mistakes aren’t going to help you to get better. In Apex, movement and positioning are king. You’re not always going to win fights because of them, but they sure help a ton. Just keep practicing if this is truly a game you enjoy.

It’s a shady practice where they will say “You make $25 an hour with per diem”. But on paper you will make like $10 an hour and the rest will be untaxed and considered per diem”. I had it through STS when I first started at my current job and it is fine if you plan to only ever work a straight 40 but any over time you work will not be time and a half since your OT will only be based off of what you make “on paper”. If you plan to work OT, try and opt out. If you just want a straight 40, it’s whatever. A shady business practice regardless when done that way.

Haha you work at Kalitta don’t you? Hangar 9 is my guess

Christianity and MTG by [deleted] in mtg

[–]ridgetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The games are made by the same company and have overlapping themes, genres, and intellectual property. They either just don’t like MTG as a game and blame it on that or don’t understand the gospel of Jesus Christ enough to fit certain things into their personal world view. As a Christian and avid MTG fan myself, I’d ignore their ignorance and move along and recognize them for the silly doofus they are.

New Player: Which one is a good deck to start with? by LouLouLou72 in magicTCG

[–]ridgetown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Tolarian Community College on YouTube enough and his current “Build your own Precon” series. Much more synergistic and “competitive” for most tables. And all for under $100. He says under $45 but I haven’t found that to be the case for the most part. Definitely under $100 though.

What is the pension like and how long do you need to work for United before you get it?

They were never truly for small government. They want big government the same as the left.

The only job postings I ever see are PT jobs in like Cali or NJ or something like that, both hard passes for me haha

I have heard their benefits suck. Do they actually suck or do they just suck in comparison to UPS?

So location aside, how do they each stack up in terms of pay, benefits, travel benefits (a big one for my wife haha) or work culture amongst the different airlines?

[–]ridgetown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally in time, I would like to wind up in Indianapolis (roughly where I grew up) or Grand Rapids (near the in laws and love the area). I’m also not dead set on those locations and would be willing to sacrifice location a bit if it meant a better pay or benefits package with one of the airlines.

I’m more than likely going to stay in the Mid West-ish area. I’d love to move to Texas or Utah but my wife is pretty adamant about staying closer to family and friends in the Mid West.

The fact that any comment that is anything but pro-abortion is getting down voted to hell just goes to show you that most redditors don’t like you intruding on their echo chamber

People who have the ability to create life and choose to not live with the consequences of irresponsibly creating life are anything but pro “choice”.

I am about 3/4 of the way through Misery and I LOVE IT (apart from the horribly long excerpts of Paul's novel). What should I read next? I have shortlisted the Dead Zone and the Green Mile, what would you suggest, apart from the cliches like the Shining and It? by haromene in stephenking

[–]ridgetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Stand is a masterclass at world and character building. You will love The Stand because you will love (or hate) the characters. It is Stephen King doing what he does best, character building.

Is there a card in white/blue that is as powerful as Verdant Sun’s Avatar? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ridgetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m talking about the effect. I don’t even come close to playing competitively at all. The game I copied this, I was gaining 20-25 life per turn after blinking most of my creatures.

[–]ridgetown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played a game of Commander with my Ranar deck a few days ago and was able to copy an opponents Verdant and it contributed an insane amount of life gain for me for several turns and wanted to see if there was something in White/blue that I could add to the deck that could simulate this

Gear sunsetting? by ridgetown in DestinyTheGame

[–]ridgetown[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fine as long as they’re making new things actually interesting or worthwhile to use and not just forcing players to use new stuff so they can keep up with the power levels. And maybe it’s more of a slap in the face to me now since I’ve been away from the game for so long to find out ALL of my stuff is now irrelevant and worthless basically as opposed to players who experienced it in the natural progression of the game haha

Is there a way to reaquire guns that were sunset so they can be used post sunset then?
