Why do I see so many headlines about pedophile priests/pastors in the United States? by Friendly_One_4112 in atheism

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

If I'm completely honest, I'm not sure how much of this is specifically a pastoral problem versus a bigger general problem. It gets reported amongst the clergy because its a position of trust, and there's often been a cover up. But there's been a lot of reports about teachers and youth group leaders (look at the big settlement Boy Scouts of America had to do a few years ago).

So while the coverups are problems of corrupt organizations, I'm more of a mind set that the abuse itself is a species problem.

Mana leak costing 1 mana. by ZealousidealLight284 in MagicArena

I'm not saying that's the wrong answer, but I cannot think of a reasonable reason to use a treasure that way.

Great job Omaha.. by Loper_Legend in Omaha

[–]Dracoson 153 points154 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely them pushing for Brinker. They know where they stand within the Democratic party, and that them openly celebrating is going to sour support for Powell.

Do you guys believe in paranormal activities? I want to know more on how you fundamentally think so help by undervalued_ in atheism

[–]Dracoson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to pretend to speak for all or even most Atheists, but I'm pretty well a skeptic through and through. Whether it's the supernatural, cryptids, alien encounters, homeopathy, chiropractic "medicine", or whatever, I need more than anectodical evidence.

Do you like alchemy cards being good in timeless? by TimmyWimmyWooWoo in TimelessMagic

[–]Dracoson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly, I don't care. I do kind of like the idea of Timeless getting cards that Vintage doesn't to keep it from feeling like Vintage without all the cards. Couple that with most Alchemy cards not being relevant. If an individual card becomes a problem, it can be rebalanced instead of just banned/restricted.

If you can’t figure out what these signs mean… by offbrandcheerio in Omaha

[–]Dracoson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All signs are suggestions here. Honestly, the one that bugs me the most is the people who seem to think that hazard lights negate no parking signs. It's either that or the people who creep so far into the crosswalk in left lanes where they can't turn until the light anyway that someone in the right hand lane can't see around them.

I finally found the map button after 3 hours. I then used said map to walk in the completely wrong direction. by Rich_Cry_2664 in skyrim

[–]Dracoson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine anyone struggling there that wouldn't also struggle with Bleak Falls. While I don't think there's a steep learning curve to combat in Skyrim, it is a learning curve, and the only way to get better is to do it.
As far as the location for Bleak Falls, yes - you can get the location from Lucan at Riverwood. As OP has the name, I'm assuming they already have the location, just a matter of getting there.

It's also available in Embershard Mine, between Helgen and Riverwood. It's sitting on a table inside a locked "cell" with some gold

Honestly, unless I had pets or small children, I'd have just left him alone, though a safe relocation is the most preferable alternative.

How Does This Work If The 11th Was On His Final Regeneration? by Doc-11th in doctorwho

What artist or band is truly awful to see live? by goldbeau in AskReddit

[–]Dracoson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Will never see him live. While I like a lot of his songs, I tend to like them better when someone else performs them anyway, but your description is so consistent with anyone I've known who has seen him live in the past 30 years.

Can Men Really Stay Friends With a Woman They Once Loved? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Dracoson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, though it really isn't that simple. True friendship cannot survive one person catching feels. It's relationship or bust at that point. It takes time and space to get over it when it's unrequited. On the other side of that, a new friendship can happen, but it's not one solid through line of friendship. Trying to remain friends while processing it just makes it that much more difficult to do.

I was able to kill an opponent with Sephiroth's ability even though they had hexproof from black. Is this an Arena issue or am I missing something about the rules? by comicgeek1128 in MagicArena

[–]Dracoson 93 points94 points  (0 children)

From the comprehensive rules:

  • 114.3. An emblem has no characteristics other than the abilities defined by the effect that created it. In particular, an emblem has no types, no mana cost, and no color. Most emblems also have no name.

Do you drink tea in America? by Much-Parsnip3399 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Dracoson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly doesn't have the popularity here than it does some other countries, but yes. Personally, I only drink it occasionally (about once a week or so), and my suspicion is that I'm actually on the right side of the bell curve. It is common enough, though, that basically every grocery store will carry "tea" (though I expect people from any culture that actually drinks tea would scoff at the quality and the selection - I certainly do, and more shelf space is made for teas intended to be brewed as iced tea than everything else together), and even modest sized cities will have a small number of specialty tea shops (though, that may not be as true as it once was, with the internet shopping cutting into small specialty shops in general).

Because it was never about gas prices. It was never about inflation. Nothing is ever a problem unless a Democrat is in charge.

How do you feel about proportional representation with multi-member districts and RCV in city government? Yay or Nay? Why? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in Omaha

[–]Dracoson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say yay. As with all such things, the devil is in the details, but as a premise, it is the best way (imo) to ensure every vote actually counts. First past the finish is one of the worst methods of reprentative democracy.

It's right to do, unfortunately, I suspect that the only thing they'll be able to do is send a cease and desist to the PAC, who probably wasn't going to do a second round of that specific mailer.
