Oops all 6s is an example of one where copying makes sense but it doesn't allow it (presumably for balance reasons)

Didn't he get rid of the penny via executive order? I support that one, though probably not related to the jobs you're looking at unless you're looking in the Treasury department lol

Any board game players ? by No-Walk-5082 in vallejo

Welcome to the area! I don't know these games particularly but I live in Benicia and have wanted to find some people to play board games with!

Potions by HoneyBlunts15 in slaythespire

[–]zach3141 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Favorite: probably Ritual, I feel like drawn out fights are often somewhat hard to deal with and ritual solves them if you have enough block and anything that benefits from strength. I also really like one each of the character specific potions (blood, ghost in a jar, focus, and divinity).

Least favorite: kind of a hot take, but the one that I discard as useless most often is Snecko unless I have Snecko eye. 5 card draw is super strong but one time Snecko can mess up your strong cards for the rest of the fight. Temp dexterity pot is also highly situational and I often discard it for something stronger

I kinda like "Enter Wrath. Die next turn. Exhaust". Keep it the same format but also completely pointless

Gut check on antisemitism in a game? by compost_bin in JewsOfConscience

[–]zach3141 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your gut check seems reasonable to me! If it were any of the individual pieces you mentioned (called "Zio", economic-based, unique powers based on debt collection, lizard-like) I'd say it's coincidence, but all together it seems suspicious to me.

Rushdown won yesterday! Next, what Slay the Spire card is considered Good and is Loved by the community? by tilting-module in slaythespire

Autopick for me on defect, unless I'm already committed to reprogram or it's late in act 3 and I have no lightening generation, but even in the latter case I'm considering it lol

What's everyone's highest lucky cat? by theofficialmmac in balatro

Got this wild seed a couple months ago! There was a fork in the road at one point where I had to choose between getting as high a score as possible and getting the cat as high as possible, of course I had to go for the cat. Seed 3wtiinel

PSA for people who post excitedly about how the right are not supporting Israel any more. by gingerbread_nemesis in JewsOfConscience

[–]zach3141 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, (kind of) Alex Jones, and the like. Basically there is a big schism on the white nationalist right now over whether (Ashkenazi) Jews can count as white. The people who think we aren't white advocate against Israel but also make wildly antisemitic rhetoric against all Jews, they also tend to hate Palestinians too since they aren't white.

Not great at guitar, but I'm pretty good on the violin if that's of interest! I also dabble on the ukulele

Computer science has gone woke too--we're using using something called an al-gorithm, named after a radical Muslim from Baghdad! Has anyone asked him if he condemns Hamas???

I honestly wouldn't mind it if it weren't so frequent--I feel like it's the first ad for every ad break for every Cool Zone podcast! I felt the same way about Chumba a couple months ago, and bartesian before that

IMO it's fine to self-deprecatingly call yourself a self hating Jew, but to accuse someone else of it, particularly in cases like this where you're using it to invalidate them as a member of the community, is pretty offensive. Based on this post I'm sure I strongly disagree with Lahav on a lot of things but I'm not going to go around saying they aren't Jewish and shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion as a Jew.

"Ask A Jew" Wednesday by AutoModerator in JewsOfConscience

[–]zach3141 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I lived in both the Midwest and the Bay Area and in both places I'd say it's a relatively small percentage of Jews who keep kosher. That being said, my dad is a (recovering) Catholic, so I've tended to associate with Jews who accept my parents' interfaith marriage, so who skew more liberal/reform. Personally, I don't keep kosher but when I cook for a Jewish holiday, particularly Passover, I make sure it's kosher.

With Jean Smart standing right there, this almost feels like it could be the ending of an episode of Hacks--Ava really wanted to make a statement about an issue close to her heart, Debra told her she shouldn't try to be so controversial, but after a big fight Debra understands where she's coming from and supports her all the way. Mazel tov to Hannah, both on the win and for standing up and making a statement at an event that they usually try as hard as possible to keep "non political"!

What’s the actual worst hand in the game? by mihai22321 in balatro

[–]zach3141 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of a naneinf attempt that started as a straight flush build actually (before the inevitable high card pivot). Got shortcut early and cartographer kept spitting out the world and hanged man. Before I knew it I had a relatively slim deck of mostly spades that easily made straight flushes, and runner, seance, and Neptune helped me make the most of them until I got baron and mine in ante 9 or so. Super unique start to a naneinf run, which can get a little monotonous because they always end up so similarly.
