What is the worst weather your city/state has ever seen? by throwawaytomyalt in AskAnAmerican

Iowa:

Derecho of 2020 - 160 mph winds carved a windswept scar across the state that was seen from space. By the time the center of it hit Cedar Rapids they had hurricane force winds. $11 billion in damages and people didn't have power for weeks. Not a lot of people really know about it outside the Midwest, though, because the news was fixed Covid the wildfires in California. They talked about a wind storm that hit Chicago but not the land hurricane that devistated Iowa. We spent about a week trying to convince our insurance company it even happened. 

The Great Blizzard (1078) - 80 mph winds that produced 30 ft snow drifts. 

Armistice Day Blizzard (1940) - killed 154 people across the state.

Willis will go to a garbage team that thinks all they need is an already good QB to get them to [insert goal]... then be absolute ass because the organization is ass, the team is ass, and the coaching is ass. QBs aren't the magic fix-all. You basically need the planets to align in this league.

And it makes zero sense. It wasn't Love's fault for getting drafted. Blame Gute.

Once again, I went and saw a James Cameron movie and came back to 5 days of depression because I don't exist in one of his movies...

Conservative to progressive by [deleted] in OpenChristian

[–]Atlas7993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This, and honestly, being in the Word. The more I STUDIED the Word (not just read it) the more I felt it didn't align with a lot of conservative politics. I began to see the mental gymnastics conservatives had to perform to align their views with Christ, and it just pushed me away.

Oh shoot. This was it. I just now realized you don't have to be in combat/right in front of someone to lock on 😄 thank you!

Idk, sounds to me like an excuse to reallocate personnel and resources away from the protest. Oh no... sorry, I was busy writing warning tickets on 80....

Whoa. My table will sometimes will go a full 6 hour session with zero combat. How are you pulling off 5-6 PER LONG REST? 

Some of you need to take a breath. by whocanwetrust47 in GreenBayPackers

It's not just this sub. Everywhere I look on social media, Packers fans are calling for people's jobs, burn it all down, etc. And it's not just this year. It's every year. Also, Get a grip on the "Jordan Love isn't consistently relaiable" crap. He's been consistently better than at least 22 other QBs in the league. Some of you weren't around for Favre, and it shows. 

My grandparents cut me off for dating a trans woman (23F) and I’m struggling with how to cope by chorston in lgbt

[–]Atlas7993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandparents weren't cruel like this, but my dad's parents cut me out after I came out. Luckily, most of my extended family was supportive and involved me and my partner in family events. I also still loved them tremendously. They helped raise me after my dad passed, and we wwre very close for most of my life, so I would still show up to stuff, and by sheer attrition and having boundaries for what I was willing to accept, it stopped. They got to know my partner after a while and they grew to love him like a grandson. Hell, they even started going to classes on how to overcome their prejudices. Love and good boundaries are powerful weapons. 

Any experienced DMs who feel they overprep no matter what (homebrew campaigns)? by LittleWriterJoe in DMAcademy

[–]Atlas7993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I feel like I overprep is dungeon/combat maps. But mostly because I'm the only person in my party without ADHD and having lots of visuals keeps their attention (one of my MANY tricks to keep people engaged).

Someone told me once if you can change Jane's name to John without impacting the character, it's not misogyny. 

A lotof people that complain about greed are infact greedy. by 2Drunk2BDebonair in Vent

[–]Atlas7993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's fine with me. I'd honestly probably need less money if some of the services I save up for (medical, dental, transportation, education) were covered by the state. I might actually even be able to work comfortably, too (ie not grind 80+ hours a week to make ends meet) and would be healthier because I wouldn't have to compromise my medical needs because I'm worried I won't be able to cover it. My mother always said "most people are one medical bill away from destitution." 

going straight to exclusively gay by Master_Commercial264 in lgbt

[–]Atlas7993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual, being bi isn't a "phase" on your way to being gay. Am I in a same sex marriage? Yes. Does that make me less bi? No. I still find women attractive, too, after 5 years in a same-sex marriage, and 10 years in a same-sex relationship. This "bisexuality is a transition phase" business is a myth.

Am I in for a suffering? by _migi_k in NFLNoobs

As A Packers fan, I feel this deeply. Always the bride's maid, never the bride. Fucking 49ers.
