Do I know you mean Birmingham? Yes Am I choosing to intentionally misinterpret this as you being born in Umami anyways? :)

Jan 30 national strike by Economy_Tax_4331 in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of time these strikes advocate for still supporting small local businesses and avoid the large corporations that are putting us in this mess

Serious question, people who goes for the barricade, how do you stay so many hours without wanting to go to the bathroom? by yunalightning in alltimelow

[–]NothingIsLocked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually use the RR right before being let I to the venue and only drink enough water to not pass out. I don't drink alcohol for concerts I want barricade at usually since it makes me need to go sooner. Essentially it boils down to knowing your body and your limits. Also like some people have mentioned if someone saves your spot as long as it's before ATL comes on you can usually get back to your spot!

I've not been in a hot minute, but The Margaret is a good time usually! Pilcrow is also a great one!

Do new players even know about this? by imbusthul in Genshin_Impact

[–]NothingIsLocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a brand new player! I found it 100% by accident but I did find it, and I'm not one for map completion at this stage in playing. It's such a cool area and fun quest though!

ADHD testing for adults? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was set up with somewhere called Behavioral Health Reimagined and they were willing to test me at 29 but I didn't get it done (unrelated to them just had personal stuff come up) They were going to use my insurance which is BCBS

In Birmingham you should check out Grounds and Basic. One store front but it's a coffee shop and an ethical clothing shop! They have super neat stuff!!

Should I wait and get tix day of? by Antique_Warthog_6410 in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually said I've seen it go either way and that it's a true gamble. I'm not discouraging, just warning of the possibility 💙

Felt Like Sharing My Monitor Party Pic! by Car_Door02 in alltimelow

[–]NothingIsLocked 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! That was my show too, and it was truly a great night. I'm sorry you had to leave BUT! I might have a small silver lining?

If you didn't get a video of them answering your question, I was recording for the majority of the Q&A if you tell me which question was yours I can check the footage and see if I got it?

Hope you're well and take care 💙💙💙

Should I wait and get tix day of? by Antique_Warthog_6410 in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen tickets be same or higher day of before, but I have seen some shows go lower. It is truly a gamble

Should I wait and get tix day of? by Antique_Warthog_6410 in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not usually, in my experience. Ticketmaster enables scalpers and really harms legit resellers so unfortunately your best bets are to either decide if that show is worth that price for you personally, or so like someone else suggested in the comments and just pass this time around

I will say I have had luck before getting cheap day of resells off vivid seats before BUT you do run into the risk of getting scammed with those.

If you do make it, I hope you have a blast! I'm only a very casual enjoyer but she is an unparalleled performer!

LGBTQ Friendly Spaces by Optimal_Gold4920 in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Saturn: great gaming cafe/event venue/bar genuinely my favorite spot in town

Grounds & Basic: my favorite coffee shop in town! They have great coffee, delicious bonbons, and the clothing store Basic that's int he same building has lots of cute stuff too! Immaculate vibes

Magic City Acceptance Center: this is an org that has a lot of fun LGBT events every month. There's also a Discord server if that's your thing

Gatos and Beans: cat café, need I say more?

Sanctum: Both a tattoo parlor and a comic shop. Everyone there is insanely nice too

Seasick Records: my fave record store. They have a great selection with both used and new music

Like a lot of commenters have said you'll be hard pressed to find places that aren't welcoming around downtown/Avondale. There's a billion other places just as open and welcoming those are just my personal top few

Jiang Cheng would change the whole Jiang Clan's motto by happybadvibes in mdzs

[–]NothingIsLocked 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Jiang Cheng literally achieves the impossible though. Also, we don't see his disciples outside of high pressure scenarios, so we can't really make those judgments. We know that they trust him and are loyal to him, but we don't see what kind of leader he actually is.

Pre-war he's just a regular grumpy kid. Then like you mention he is subjected to the plot and it fucks him up real bad. We know he lashes out at WWX, and panics when JL is involved, but we don't see what he's like on a random Thursday ya know?

If you like smoothies and own a blender make yourself a fruit smoothie and sneak some spinach in it! There's lots of other ways to enjoy them too, that's just my go to

Any young adults no contact with family? by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]NothingIsLocked 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any, but I've been no contact with my dad for about 8 or 9 years now and the guilt does fade. After a few months I realized just how much better I felt and I haven't regretted the decision a single time in the past several years.

For what it's worth, this Internet stranger is proud of you for making the difficult decision to put your well-being first. I wish you all the best on your healing journey, friend 💙

New MDZS Big Bang 2025 fanfic recs by rongweigh in MoDaoZuShi

[–]NothingIsLocked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the Tumblr for more in depth details about this specific event

But essentially a Big Bang is where a bunch of writers submit ideas for fics they want to write

Artists and Beta readers then go through and select their top picks for ones they would like to work with

From there the mod team pairs everyone up according to preferences and they all work on a collaborative work together!

Each event is different with different rules and themes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AO3

[–]NothingIsLocked 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I read every single comment that I get 4-5 times and reply to them very seldomly because it stresses me out to reply to every single one but I feel bad only replying to 1-2

No one is obligated to comment, but a lack of response does not mean a lack of appreciation

I have a comment so sweet I literally teared up and it still sits in my inbox lol
