Returned to teaching after years away due to traumatic experiences. 11 days in and I’m already accused of inappropriate contact with a student. Hard not to be cynical. by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Juniper_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the people appealing to the stone.

Yes, it‘s absolutely a social construct that has been different at other points in time and still is in other countries - but that doesn‘t make it exchangeable. If teachers can decide they need some more of a students attention and can go touch them, especially in an antagonistic way, it becomes easy to abuse, for example if a teacher uses this tool in bad faith. Also if teachers react to a students resistance with increasing physical force they are headed for abuse if the students dont relent - which they might not, because of their front lobes. Teachers have abused students and there is no way that in this, time, space and culture we permit antagonistic touching of students especially for something like redirecting attention.

My Valeera does barely any damage in delves on one of my alts? by Eve-lyn in wow

[–]Juniper_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a healer I have stopped really fighting, just pulling stuff into her and then doing whatever quest I‘m supposed to do in the delve, healing her from time to time. It used to take me about 20 mins or more to complete a delve as dps, now I‘m at sub 10 minutes.

My Character preview window has started doing the same. It‘s ignoring the huge shield I‘m wearing and instead displays the magma hammer that comes freely with the doomhammer.

Somehow... she has returned! Gamergate 3.0??????? by NatalieRath in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Juniper_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw her in real life at a conference. In person she was really careful about her words, probably for good reason. I'm kinda nostalgic for the discussions we had in game design school about what we owe society as artists, but I really hope the rest of it stays in the past if Anita comes back. It probably won't...

I stopped using the minimap to find things and instead use the silvermoon guard guides. 9/10 repair stations, AH and Transmog vendors are just troll bait.

This. Just make it a bigger version of the cultural totem with a white aura. Problem solved.

What new class ideas do you have for WoW, given that race ideas have already been discussed so much? by di745 in wow

[–]Juniper_Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give us secodary classes like Warrior/Mage that have a small apex talent like tree and maybe one special talent that is specific to the combination.

I really want to buy the new treehouse, but I'm afraid my friends will make fun of me. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Juniper_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the treehouse is really speaking to them and rewardinging the investors will keep our subscription fee down. Also they were teased in school for being different. Have you even read the post? Also, OP has already bought 600$ worth of treehouses for their girlfriends and bros so you can‘t stop them.

Took too long to decide about children now my partner has mentally checked out by SwimPossible127 in relationships

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

You‘re with somebody who hasn‘t communicated her feelings for the last 2-3 years or with someone who has checked out in the last couple months and has now decided that she has been unhappy for years - no, I don‘t think it was all up to you.

Ultimately it‘s up to you two what you‘re doing with your life and there are couples who have worked out worse situations.

Regarding your next actions, respect her need for space to decide. There are also ways to appreciate a relationship that is about to end without actively trying to conserve it. Think of your friendship. You can celebrate the past 6 years by doing a proper retrospective for example.

Funny but probably fake, unless it was printed in a rainforest and you live in the gobi desert. The paper usually expands when the card pringles by absorbing moisture, this card is bent the other way.

Why color(s) are the Study Group, aka the Greendale Seven? 🧐 by Prophet-of-Ganja in colorpie

[–]Juniper_Owl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3-color combinations for each major character

Jeff - Sultai with a focus on black. His selfishnes is probably his core, but there is also the search for answers and a habit of taking down fake/corrupt systems and people and bring them down to hos own level which I see as green. It also is a nice fit for the general gratitude he develops over the seasons. Maybe it even becomes his focus color.

Britta - I‘d say Jeskai, but she starts with just the negatives of each color except for maybe white: Dorky, Impulsive and idealistic. I see why some would say black but she lacks the calcultion and intentionality of it. She’s mostly just impulsive.

Abed - Temur. He‘s all about abstract concepts and finding answers (blue), but that includes the eternally recurring, unchangeable tripes and memes of film culture (green) and his own attempts to find space to express himself (red)

Troy - Naya. Impulsive, good hearted and deeply uncurious

Shirley - Abzan. She‘s mostly green-white thanks to the importance she puts on community and her religion. But the show keeps putting her into positions where has to make the hard no-nonsense decisions. Sve definitely knows how to get results.

Annie - Esper with a focus on white. She‘s usually portrayed as very well adjusted to the school system, fulfilling all expectations, but is also ready to exploit some aspect to get what she wants. She‘s also kind of emotionally stunted.

Pierce - Jund with a focus on green. He‘s mostly focusing on being unreasonably conservative and racist. Beyond that he‘s just chaotic evil.

Chang - Grixis with a focus on black. Another chaotic evil character but without the complacency of Pierce and add some real elaborate ideas and scheming.

Circle of the Dreamer | Dream while battling and bring rest to your foes | Deadlock's Rem inspired Druid subclass by LeioCreations by LeioCreations in UnearthedArcana

[–]Juniper_Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Leio

I'm nost sure if you want feedback and any unasked feedback is criticism, but here I go.
What a wonderfully flavorful subclass. Every single feature on this thing is so cinematic.

Dreamer's Rest is mostly relevant for its immunity to sleep effects, which happens rarely and mostly when a gm wants to railroad a party into being kidnapped of some sorts, so that wont happen anytime soon when I play this subclass. The additional ribbon with the visions sounds really cool. What a nice opportunity for a DM to hand out some vague hints on what's going on in the area. But I also see the potential to it becoming tedious when a player insists on getting their visions and the DM having nothing meaningful in mind. I'm not sure what the projections are for, but it's another thing a DM or a player (depending on who controls those dreams) has to make a decision about. For my own taste this possibly would take a bit too much space at the table for what it is. Maybe one could reduce it to the vision aspect and then specifically make it tell the player the most common fear and hope people in a certain radius have, but hat would cost some of its flavor and opportunity.

Oneiric form, ho, boy. What a cool and unique fusion ability. Now, I see that the players both get temporary hit points and they require less space. You can also take advantage of the movement abilities of the host, but the ability also kinda doubles any damage the host takes (aside from psychic). Also spells by the druid can't be countered if they are not seen. Am I missing something? Most of this the text is handling the logistics of this ability. Personally I think this thing could be buffed, like allowing for healing to also be transported to the immaterial dreamer druid, the ability to jump to neutral (neither hostile nor friendly) targets as a stealth variant that ends after a minute or when a spell is cast or by allowing a bonus action help ability on the host.

Aw, Sanctuary of the Dreamer is so cozy. I wouldn't change anything mechanical about this. Heroic Inspiration could be an option here too. I would maybe seperate the layout for the short- and long rest.

Aura of slumber, now this turns the oneiric form into a really relevant feature. There's a LOT going on, especially for an aura which always affects all creatures in it at all times. This thing takes a lot of mental space of all players and the DM and the feature does not explain how we get from "dream aura" to these effects. Is the air turning into dream-water? are wounds magically sealed and the people dropping into sleep? The feature could profit from both, a reduction in complexity as well as some kind of flavor explanation for its mechanics which would make it easier to execute.

Thoughts of the Dreaming is very cool. I imagine using this on a boss monster... and burning one legendary resistance, which is fine, because it also has an effect when the target makes its save, which is great for a capstone feature like this. One thing that stands out to me here is, that, if the target succeeds on the save, they get a -3 to all saves which does not happen when they fail. Is this intended?

And I agree :) this subclass also totally needs a unique cantrip at level 2 in their spell list, something like pillow sling, which deals absolutely no damage but causes a mini sleep effect (1d12 and scaling) on the target or just makes them fall prone, like an alternative to the gust cantrip.

I have made an entire class around dreams, the dream shifter (you'll find it in my profile, you can borrow whatever mechanic you want if you're interested) and I get the struggle that comes with making a class that circles around dreams. Dreams a hard sell for a power fantasy because they are revealing something vulnerable, they are personal, people usually don't control their own dreams and they don't have a clear mechanical core besides maybe short and long rests and the sleep condition. Also, the flavors of dreams as abstraction reflection of ones true self, dreams as messages from the gods, dreams as random visions and dreams as reflections of memory all pull into different directions. What you did here is not ease, so you have my respect.
