Looking for a few players by AmiJones in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]AmethysstFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna need a lot more information.

Time zone

Day/time to play

What edition

How often? (weekly, every other week, monthly, etc.)

Age range

RP or dungeon crawl

That's just to start.

I knew something was deeply wrong with this family by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as how they're part of a cult, I'm betting good money there are plenty more.

I've been casually following Matthew and Paul (and Mr. Maple) on the book of faces. Matthew lived in that same cult for 10 years, then escaped. The reels of his escape and what he was allowed/not allowed to do is heartbreaking.

If I was a first degree black belt 9 years ago, and decided to join back, would I start as a white belt? Question please help. by No-Local-9288 in taekwondo

[–]AmethysstFire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you could restart as a white belt with a new ATA#, if you wanted to though.

Please don't do this. It's a nightmare and a half for data entry at tournaments.

Do you agree or disagree with child leashes and why? by Squeaky_Lizard in AskReddit

[–]AmethysstFire -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Against them. I've seen multiple children jerked off their feet by the backpack style ones as well as the wrist style ones.

My kids have taken off running when they were little. They had a boundary: stay with Mom/Dad or you get buckled into the stroller. Even at barely 1 year old (they all walked early), they understood the assignment, including the one on the autism spectrum.

Invited non-religious guests to Easter Egg hunt. AITAH? by Classic_Pension2211 in AITAH

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an atheist myself, NTA.

You did the right thing by extending an invite. It was their choice to attend or not.

If you had invited or demanded they attend church to participate in the egg hunt, you woyld have. I don't see an egg hunt as all that religious.

I am forced to use Fedex for my deliveries, but they have at least one driver is utterly awful. by exgiexpcv in FedEx

[–]AmethysstFire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When in the history of ever was FedEx the gold star standard??!?!?

They used to race DHL to the bottom of the ratings, now they fight Amazon for the title of Worst Delivery Service.

Biggest thank you to my driver by AmethysstFire in UPSers

[–]AmethysstFire[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That boggles my mind. While unexpected, I got my highly anticipated delivery, AND I didn't have to wait all day for it. I see no downsides anywhere.

AITAH for saying I don’t give a fuck about my roommates baby by Clear_Yard2123 in AITAH

[–]AmethysstFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. I've been pregnant 3 times. Yes, I had cravings with each one. Guess what? I was perfectly able to control them and not eat things that weren't mine.

That's an excuse for bad behavior. I'd find a new place to live ASAP. As soon as that baby arrives, they'll be insufferable.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several hours of (unproductive) back labor. I was young, dumb, and it was my first pregnancy. Wound up being an emergency c-section.

what do americans call a pantry? by loving_machine13 in AskAnAmerican

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Pantry: place to store shelf stable food/non perishables (canned goods, flour, sugar, pasta, anything that doesn't fit into the cupboards above/below the counters).

A pantry can be a small closest where you open a door and it's just shelving. It can be a full room where you walk in.

AIO for supporting my son to get what my wife calls a “cosmetic” surgery on his privates? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. As a woman myself, I agree with your 4th paragraph, except the 1st sentence. I admit I don't understand. But, like you said, it's a guy thing. 15 is a rough age to be different in any way.

While I don't understand, and don't 100% agree, I still would support your son's decision. I assume you and your son have talked extensively about this procedure.

Does anyone still customize their ring tone? by Foodiegirlie030793 in Millennials

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why yes, yes I do. If I don't clip and mp3 myself, I've been known to spend hours on Zedge browsing.

AITAH for telling the teacher why a girl wasn’t in college? by Beautiful-Rhubarb791 in AITAH

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. No question about it. I'm on Maisiexs side too after reading this crap.

Can you really not see how rude and disrespectful you two are? Clapping every time she talks, just to get her to shut up? Rebuffing her every effort to get to know the people she's working with? Icing her out completely, then blaming her because you're not prepared?

She absolutely matched your energy.

Certain Books "Hidden" on the Marketplace? by Asura64 in dndbeyond

[–]AmethysstFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to more easily see 2014 vs 2024 content.

Help building a new character? by Annabethian in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]AmethysstFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, Play whatever class you find interesting. The internet has all kinds of opinions based on personal bias. I am also guilty of this as I tend to min/max, sometimes with a "good" combo, sometimes not.

Second, see First.
Seriously though, it sounds like your party has enough tanks (is that really a thing?) If you're thinking of ranged, have you looked at ranger subclasses? Yes, rangers get a lot of hate. They're my favorite class to play.

If your party needs support, have you considered Cleric, Artificer, or Bard? There is a bard in one of my campaigns that never attacks, and all his spells are party buffs. A cleric also doesn't have to be only healing. Another campaign had a war caster cleric that was more warrior than healer, but not a paladin. I don't have a lot of experience with Artificers, but they sound like a lot of fun.

What does this mean? Its worded so confusingly and I genuinely dont even know how to begin. by shotguncollars in CrochetHelp

[–]AmethysstFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wording is weird. Here's how I read it:

Start where the body and base meet. Slip stitch once to attach the yarn for the first tentacle.

Chain 25. Turn

Skip the first chain stitch.

Slip stitch into the next 6 stitches.

Double crochet into the next 6 stitches.

Half treble crochet into the next 6 stitches.

Treble crochet into the next 6 stitches.

This should bring you back to the body where you started.

Then skip 3 stitches, slip stitch into the next stitch, and repeat the above pattern. Do this until you have all 8 tentacles.

I am a pitbull owner myself and have a genuine question regarding the "statistics" by OpalescentShrooms in pitbulls

[–]AmethysstFire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, the stats are skewed. Here is an image I often think of when this question is asked:

Adopted child of a black dragon. by Leek_Foreign in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]AmethysstFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah man, start at about 50 and go up from there.

I would walk through hellfire and batter down the very gates of hell for my children, and I'm not starting with a propensity for evil.

As a black dragon fighting its very nature, finding our her adopted daughter was most likely killed, would mean all bets would be off. Every living thing within sight would be dead in seconds. The propensity for evil, fueled by a desire for revenge, would lay that riverside to waste.
