The issue is that I can't think of another career that I could move into easily and offer similar amount of compensation. I picked being a developer because it came easy to me and I knew it was stable. Something to skate by on, basically. I dunno what I would do if I didn't do this. | ||

Like, I'll look at a project, know that it's extremely important, and then just dick around on Youtube and Imgur for 7 hours. And it's not just like "oh I'm bored blah", it's like there's some part of my head screaming at me to focus because this is a top level project for big clients, but when I go to do anything I work for 5 minutes and then go do something else. I don't think I have ADHD (because I hate when people just slap that diagnosis on something), I think I just don't care about what I'm doing that much. This... describes me too well... im terrified of getting fired but cant bring myself to focus... also i used to take aderall a few times in school when i had a shitload of work to do and i really think it would help me here too... | ||

It just means it's fucking boring to you and not worth your concentration. Same happens to me all the time. Probably stems from me doing the same thing and never concentrating properly in school though. There are other ways to make money though. Different career paths etc or dabble in property and live off the income from people renting from you etc etc. On September 25 2015 02:22 jcarlsoniv wrote: This is fascinating and at least a little bit terrifying http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-the-edge-the-worlds-greenest-building/ That's amazing but also I feel somewhat lonely? It seems like it's always trying to throw you in to new places with new people and to me that would be the most annoying thing on the planet. I also like having a custom work space where I can just dump my shit and personalise it so I don't feel like a mindless drone. The rest of it is damn cool and amazing though, even the parts I dislike are still amazing. | ||

Alternative advice based on my situation: I have similar issues with university (which is not somewhere I should be but am there for dumb irrelevant reasons), but it doesn't affect my work. I'm a farmer, so most of my work is rote mechanical work (production line kind of stuff, driving in straight lines at slow speeds, stacking heavy things, etc.) that it's totally ok to zone out of as long as your body keep moving in the right directions while you do it. Profs don't understand how I can drive in straight lines at 0.5mph for 14 hours a day for 2 months of the year, but struggle to get through a trivial 2 page written report (but also be fine on a non-trivial test/exam). Maybe, motivation aside, you're in the wrong line of work completely? I'm not suggesting you become a farmer/farmhand (I can't in good conscience recommend this to anyone) but maybe something else similar to what I described? I haven't had any other jobs really so I'm taking guesses here: barista, bartender, server, cashier person, garbage/mail person, groundskeeper, anything in construction, etc. | ||

Bummer. Rolled a natural 20 and while I neglected something it didn't matter in this rare situation. And it didn't get looked at anyway. Related to work, I've started reading the 4 Hour Work Week. I've known about it for a long time (4 Hour Body kinda got me into being passionate about fitness) but for whatever reason avoided reading it. I'm not sure I agree with a lot of things but man are there some interesting concepts worth contemplating. | ||

If I honestly can't even focus hard enough to do simple projects when my job is on the line, maybe I don't really want to do this for the rest of my life. Or maybe I just need Adderall. My question mostly has to do with what he means by "slacking off". Do you frequently miss deadlines due to sloth/distractions? Or are you simply not motivated enough due to the work being boring / pedastrian? Or is it due to workload? Or because you are insufficiently trained? Or lacking certain skills? | ||

Is it because it has Awaken tacked on top of it? Or the easier cost (3B instead of 2BB). I assume it's actually better if you just want to screw over tokens/thopters/some elves/etc. without killing your own bigger dudes. Blue seems meh from the cards I've seen. White has allies and lifegain, Black has effects pertaining to lifegain... Theros rotates out, right? So White loses a bunch of ways to create tokens. Red is both wheenies and fuck yo wheenies. And Green has a bunch of ramp and big guys/counters. Looks like green's ramp and big guys, or in general allies, would be good in limited. Is it me or is BFZ pretty lacking in removal/hard removal compared to Origins? | ||

I also didn't notice that mythicspoiler classifies cards by colour, not casting cost, so cards with "devoid" don't appear in their respective colour and I've missed a bunch of spells and enchantments (also Eldrazi). | ||

Sure, and that pretty much doesn't matter for anything. The majority of any set will never be relevant to constructed formats regardless, even in relatively powerful sets. What largely matters is power level consistency within a set and rarity balance for the purpose of Limited. Languish is a high-power sweeper that does not need to have multiple similarly-powerful equivalents in Standard at a time. | ||

Is it me or is BFZ pretty lacking in removal/hard removal compared to Origins? Actually the ruling for Rising Miasma states that the -2/-2 effect takes place before the awaken and thus the creature land isn't affected by it IIRC. According to my experience with the set thus far, blue is very deep this time around and has excellent cards for limited. White has very solid removal and some good ally enablers. Black and red are much weaker this time around, and green synergizes with basically every strategy you would hope to run (except lifegain shenanigans). Removal is likely deliberately weaker in BFZ as Wizards has been trying to decrease the power level of standard for some time. The limited environment seems like a lot of fun despite all of the constructed complainers. | ||

Looks like pretty standard dog playfighting to me. She wants to be chase and is trying to playbite at the cat's ears. | ||
