It's going to be a problem in general for anyone in the public eye, or even just trying to get hired for normal jobs. I'm glad social media wasn't around when I was a teenager--I wouldn't have posted anything like "genocide the gays!!" but literally every kid/teen is an idiot at some point and having the ability to capture and store it for all time in the public arena is troubling.

There has to be a distinction made between is going to be a problem and ought to be a problem. We've all heard the cautionary tales about someone losing their shot at a prestigious position or scholarship or whatever because dumb pictures existed of them at a kegger in high school, etc., and I think any reasonably forgiving human being understands that that's bullshit. Or something like the woman who lost her NASA internship for telling someone to "suck my dick and balls" on Twitter, which is admittedly more questionable vis-a-vis professional etiquette but should still be universally understood to not be on the same level as violent hatred. Anyway, my point is that, while there's a definite problem of the sort that you allude to and I've been saying for a while that very soon here we're all going to have to figuratively sit down and make a gentleperson's agreement not to worry about social media posts of the standard 'idiot kid' or even 'idiot adult' type, I don't think it belongs at all in the same conversation as what Mafter apparently posted. Not even something like Justine Sacco's infamous AIDS joke would belong there-- yes, the latter was rooted in casual prejudice, but still firmly on the 'I'm not a vile human being, just an unthinking idiot' side of the wall, in my opinion.

Here's a question for the folks that sell or buy cards online a lot. So when you get cards out of a pack there sometimes are little white dots right at the edges of the cards. I assume that these are like cutting points for the machines and if the blades aren't 100% sharp those white dots sometimes stick around a little bit. Does this influence the condition or does it still go as "near mint" because it's what wotc is giving us from the factory? I'm wondering about this since I don't really want someone to throw a fit after I sold them a card I listed as near mint since it went straight from booster to sleeve/binder but has those white dots at the edges

Situations like these underpin the importance of the right to erasure. Yes if you're popular enough someone will screencap your dumbest tweet and throw it into the endless hall of mirrors, but for most of us a button that says "nuke my history" would be great.

AFAIK that's generally considered "near mint", yeah. If you tried to sell it to a collector who was wanting an actual "mint condition" card they'd be justifiably mad though. In general not every card that comes out of a pack is going to be mint condition, which is why all the big online retailers call everything near-mint instead. Note that if there are large imperfections (like if they're obvious at a glance and you don't need to look closely) then it could count as lightly-played instead.

Thanks for the input! And yeah that's kinda what I expected. I usually try to be real thorough with descriptions and pictures when it comes to selling things on the net but I haven't really sold many singles that are worth more than five bucks so I just wanted to be prepared in a sense. Got a bunch of extra fetches from khans and shocks from rtr for instance that I'm looking to move sometime this year and I expect people to be kinda picky with staples like those

evilweasel posted:people need to learn what college students in the last decade learned about facebook: the instant you're looking to get a job, your social media needs to go private It baffles me that people attach their real names to social media honestly. Like facebook is one thing (and I hardly ever use mine, it's usually just to keep in contact with elusive family members), but every other social media account I have has no trace of my real name for employers to track. Especially in today's day and age where people will straight up dox you if they don't like you? Hell no, man.

Well if you're not a horrible person you have less to worry about, but yeah it's just a rule of thumb now that you have to be proactively managing your social media presence. It's stupid easy to find accounts, even if you don't use your real name, and get around privacy settings. Best practices is just clear anything off any platform that you wouldn't want your boss to see, and delete anything older than 1-2 years regularly. Especially if you get put in a position to suddenly have thousands of people paying attention to you. It's a pain, but it's doable and it's way better than getting a bunch of frantic calls, texts, emails, etc about something someone dug up that you now have to explain and hope it doesn't derail your entire life.

An increasing number of jobs require you to have a social media presence under your real name. The problem is that people forget what the risks are of just putting stuff out there and assuming no one will ever try to use it against you. I'm not surprised that WOTC didn't vet these people beyond a glance, but it'll be interesting to see how they respond to this. Hopefully they cut ties with this one doofus and find a better replacement. Mat Cauthon fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Feb 1, 2019 |

It would also had been very helpful to her case if she had chosen to apologize for her little genocide faux pas at any point between the time she made the original tweet and the day she realized there might be negative consequences for it. That's generally been the way people signal the wish to unsay something they've said, even before the days of twitter.

Streamers getting in early on a game is what defines them as having a job or being loving RICH. Ninja didn't get gently caress you money because he is great streamer. He got gently caress you money because he went balls deep into fortnight from the start and kept going well after the rush ended as other streamers got tired of the game. These people stream where the money is.

You guys cover all the stuff I need as a clueless noob to have a fighting chance at not wasting a fuckton of cash getting cards that aren't going to pan out. As a related aside, I am not nearly invested enough in the game to spring for blackcleave cliffs for Rakdos burn. My next tier replacements are looking to be either sulfurous springs or dragonskull summits. Which of those do you guys see as better in a burn deck, or is there another RB land I should be looking at?

I was going to say exactly this. Run 4xBlood Crypt and then the cheapest fetches you can find that fetch mountain or swamp (I think thats Bloodstained Mire and Polluted Delta right now, but whatever you have). Then Sulfurous instead of Cliff should be fine.

I'm keeping the fetch/shock strategy from standard burn, so I just sub blood crypt for sacred foundry. I just need to figure out what to sub in for inspiring vantage. quote:I was going to say exactly this. See, I wasn't doing that. Just 2 shocks, and a slightly different fetch package (bloodstained mire & wooded foothills) so I can always drag up a mountain once I have a black source. I remember seeing a Saffron Olive (?, not sure, it's the guy with the odd annoying voice) making a video about how 4 shocks in modern for two colors is just too much for almost all decks. rkajdi fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Feb 1, 2019 |
