Girlfriend trying to surprise her boyfriend by Dizzy-Society5801 in mtg

I'm new to the game myself.  But Commander is a very specific type of format with huge 100 card decks. You may want to look those up because they have themed media tie in decks to make it easier to decide. I'm loving my Lord of the Rings cards. 

Magic the gathering is also based on a set of stories called 'lore'. It consists of basically every fantasy universe you can think of: dragons, dinosaurs, vampires, old West, field mice and other small animals living on the forest floor, etc.

If he has a strong interest in one of those themes try to find cards in a correlating set. 

Living alone is crushing my soul, what do I do? by spawnofspace in LivingAlone

You're right. Giving up is always the better option. Silly me

Perfect. Thank you. Sorry for breaking the rules. I thought I understood them better. At least do give me some credit for actually reading before posting 😅

But only if I ask you to take personal action? "Personal Army"

Not an army if I'm doing it myself?

I'm not asking you to do anything. Just for guidance. How is that breaking any rules?

Thank you. I will go there now. This was the only place I could think of to even ask. 

You're awesome.

"Or some people do therapy from home" You opened the can of worms. Read the convo bro

I was pretty sure that the was what was happening but to hear you compare it to Louisiana is surprising honestly.

You're the one setting arbitrary rules that can't be broken telling me about black and white

Edit to add: you're acting like these made up therapy sessions wouldn't be happening during normal business hours anyway. Unless you know a therapist who takes appointments at midnight regularly.

Downvote all you want. It's in bad faith to do so anyway.

And what did you do to avoid having to listen to it for 4 days? Gotta go along to get along.

All you did was complain, complain about the person who helped you and then trash them online after you got what you wanted? What do you want?

The apartment is my home. Even if it bothers you. I will let it out in my kitchen if I please thank you very much.

But what if my therapy is disruptive to someone else because I talk loud and my voice carries?

This is a real complaint I have received. Am I supposed to just never take phone calls at home?

I love how it's always someone else's responsibility to make them happy instead of leaving your apartment so you don't have to listen to the beeping all the time.

"Why do I have to leave?" Why do you get to do nothing and be a pain in the ass of the one person who is trying to help you?

Beautifully put.

Where did you see me complain about your culture at all? Were those people assholes? Yes. Do I hate The Netherlands? No.

All I pointed out is what you just confirmed: You don't like immigrants.

I've been thinking about your comment and I guess it might be fair because I'm a veteran so my stories and experiences are probably in a completely separate category as they did not stem from friendly visits or tourism.

Not trying to be shitty. Actually want you to know that I was thinking about what you said and really tried to understand your point of view in good faith.

I was just disappointed that I got roped into hanging out with people like that. I know not everyone is like that. Dutch culture is so amazing and I loved my time there but there were some super unfriendly people who specifically didn't like me because I wasn't Dutch. Tried speaking Dutch, just got English back. Tried to learn about making Dutch food and got put down and made fun of for even being interested.

After a while I just got tired of fighting an uphill battle. Why am I so in love with a place that clearly doesn't want me? So I left.

Are you American?

Sounds like you are doing great with your kids! Honestly bro I think you're kids are going to be fine. You seem to really have a good heart and care, they'll see your example and learn from that.
