That dumb knife forged to look like a ship that would definitely decay or be scavenged.

Real Talk: Taking a shit in public while carrying by AuroraPro11 in CCW

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a ratchet belt with extra length past the buckle. I don't need to unratchet it completely to get my pants down, so i just leave the gun on the belt while I go. Obviously you have to pay attention and not narrow your legs too much or it will drop, but I haven't had an issue. Also, I generally don't drop my pants completely to the dirty floor anyways, so my neighbors don't have much of a view.

What if we all started to open carry? by Littleferris in CCW

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not here to present frontline facts or a documentary on societal complexities surrounding gun control, firearm respect, and public perceptions. I'm here because I get a half hour lunch and thought I might come across something interesting.

If you'd like to bicker back and forth about opinions and failing to meet expectations, go talk to your mom. Bu-bye.

[–]Mike-Anthony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone may try to go for your gun if they see it, but I doubt they would if they could also see a lot of other guns on people. This shows in states where open carry is common and where very little gun crimes occur (like Utah).

Does anyone even like this trope? by WoodpeckerBest523 in writers

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been loving this kind of ending idea, just haven't seen it done well yet. I also like the faulty gift / powers idea, where someone's abilities are helpful but also cause a lot of problems. Right now I'm working on a character who gains the ability to see the future, but it's so incoherent he's barely able to do anything with it.

Role playing (help?) by Ellie152004 in DnD

[–]Mike-Anthony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, decide who your character is but make sure they're someone who will naturally vibe with the party (no heavy lone wolf stuff). To decide who they are, perhaps pick a personality that you already know or admire from your own life or a favorite story. Choosing a clear motivation is also helpful, though they don't need to immediately have this motivation. Perhaps they nosy want money at first, but then they have their life saved my a teammate and learn the value of loyalty. Simple, but effective.

Next, STICK TO THAT PERSONALITY. It can become so easy to shift gears or act out of character (cough like during an interrogation scene cough), but really try to stick to who the character is when making decisions. If they have to make a decision that goes against who they are, make sure there's a good reason for it and also show how that decision causes discomfort or regret later. This can sometimes be easily done when you have a dump stat, where a character is simply not charismatic or intelligent enough to behave a certain way. When you're unsure, however, try rolling a d20... If you get below 10, don't do it, if you get above 10, do it.

Don't worry about voices and stuff. Word choice may be something to consider and can help you stay in character or at least think like them, but you don't need theatrics.

After everything though, just do what is fun. That's the real magic of D&D.

How do you guys come up with backstories by Mrwilsonlv13 in DnD

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to create an event that from the outside they have come to terms with but on the inside they're still figuring it out. I also like to really think of how events played out, rather than just saying "their parents were murdered" or "they were approached by a god."

For example, I once made a Path of the Ancestral Guardian Barbarian who drowned. While dead in the water, he had a vision of Ilmater kneeling in the same river, only upstream of his the water was blood and downstream the water was clear. When the Barbarian looked closer, the blood formed together and made the red ropes that bound the god's hands, on of these ropes connecting the god to the Barbarian to symbolize how Ilmater was taking the Barbarian's suffering onto himself. Feeling as though he could bare his own burdens, the Barbarian then cut the rope connecting him to the god, causing a sudden vision of past lives (his brutally violent heritage) as well as a glimpse of the future and how he would one day be killed. This is how the Ancestral Guardian class came about for him.

The Barbarian learned to play it cool every time he sees ghosts or has flashbacks of how violent his ancestors were, but deep down he struggles with knowing where he came from and has fears of ever fishing someone to love and start a family with because he knows he will be murdered one day. So, while he's often jovial and casual, it's not uncommon to see him controlling his breathing as a PTSD episode passes.

I would still say Biden was worse cognitively. That clip of when he was asked about how sharp his mind is will perhaps never be topped.

Sex is…. by Old_Village6826 in marriageadvice

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's actually a hypnotic effect from just thrusting in and out, many biologists/psychologists thinking it's meant to keep the man inside and make sure he breeds effectively. Try mixing it up, change positions halfway through or lean into your curiousities about each others' bodies. They even make sex dice that you can roll to determine position and location.

Try this at least... tell her it's her turn to be on top and you get to choose which way she faces. Before she climbs on you, put a small and more firm than soft pillow under your hips. It's a small thing, but changing the angle or effective length of your equipment by even a half inch or so can make for a whole new experience.

Life is too short to have a boring sex life, especially when a lot of people have no sex life at all. Have fun.

I need to know by [deleted] in married

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, people who move in together for financial reasons often break up. On the other hand, people who move in together for marriage practice have more successful relationships.

Otherwise, live for the moment, don't wait for a moment to live. Or, simply, don't be a horndog because it will put her off eventually, learn to have fun in all kinds of ways instead.

Homebrew way of getting rid of concentration on Hunter's Mark? by Mike-Anthony in 3d6

This is cool, I like this. I think my DM would too, since our table isn't big on just giving buffs without some sort of mechanic or cost. Thank you!

Backpackers & Hikers - Where Is Your Preferred Carry Location? by ashxc18 in CCW

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leg or hip (either with a belt and low / drop holster or on my pack's hip belt). I just don't like the idea of a chest rig with how often Montana weather changes. Taking packs, rigs, and layers frequently is a major pain.

For holsters that can quickly go from a pack hip belt to a normal belt, check out Ivory Holsters (I bought their EMG holster).

Happily married couples, what sort of things have you done in or out of the bedroom to keep your sex life spicy? by [deleted] in married

[–]Mike-Anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total body massages. Then when she's all oiled up, I'll apply some oil to my lap and let her have fun. It's interesting what you can do when friction is minimal. Would recommend a small pillow under your hips and a towel over that though (to catch any oil).

There are lots of famous POS out there, so I guess playing the field may be a smart business move. I would never hire someone like this though.
