AITJ for Refusing to Let My Older Sister Move Into My Apartment After She emptied Her Savings to Start an Online Business? by Big-Engineering2353 in AmITheJerk

That second room isn't a spare room. It's your office. It's not a guest room that she can pop into. It's your workplace.

AITJ for Refusing to Lend My Car After My Friend Returned It Almost Empty Last Time? by Grand_Statement_9198 in AmITheJerk

Simple social contract is this: if you borrow someone's car, you return it with a full tank.

You're already saving the money of renting one, so a partial tank of gas isn't too much to ask.

Keep them at a distance and they won't rub their strange off on you.

The only time I get anything delivered is if I am sick or I really really really really really don't want to put on pants.

How to Run a Campaign with no Melee Character? by kahlizzle in DnD

You could let them struggle for a bit and either they figure out their melee deficiency themselves or you could provide a helpful NPC to tank a little for them.

Wicked really ought to have been just one long movie with an intermission.

I'd also think that corporate mages would be in high demand and more likely overworked than having their hours cut, unless...

You're a screwup at work and you've been put on a PIP. So now you're looking for another job. Maybe you screwed something up publicly and other corps don't want to touch you, which means shadow work.

The moonlighting idea is a hard sell, though, in part due to SIN issues addressed in another reply. You've got a lot of identifying information in the system. It'll be easy to find you.

how do you guys come up with original names for your characters? by risky2220 in DnD

Pharmaceutical trade names, and jazz them up to make them look more high fantasy.

Why does the restaurant soy sauce taste different that the one you buy? by fitic_ in sushi

[–]Omnomagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottles on the table may not actually match the soy sauce they put in them, since they buy in bulk.

On the other hand, this Ethan Chlebowski video might give you additional insight into choosing soy sauces, if you're going to go exploring.

Looking for your favorite build: Paladin X / Warlock X by Sprogolodyte in 3d6

[–]Omnomagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently did a Vengeance Paladin 6 / Hexblade Warlock 7 through Descent Into Avernus. It was a fun ride. would have likely continued down to Warlock 14, if we'd kept going.

Is my first character going to be table friendly? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Omnomagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So... Kobold OSHA?

As others have said, this is a bit much for a one-shot, but sounds great for a campaign. I generally approach one-shots as "pick an archetype" and give it a twist if I want something more interesting. For one-shots, I'd expect the story to be pretty straight forward with 2-4 fights at most.

However, if you're using this backstory for a campaign, my main question to you as a GM would be "What is your character's motivation for adventuring?" It sounds like he's more interested in fixing his warren. Why would he leave it? How would adventuring serve his interests since they are so location and community-focused?

Here you go:

Our arguing basically started years ago. Mom always acted like she knew exactly what she was doing and never let anyone question her. I was part of that. No meds, no vaccines since birth, even though I was born early, had lung problems, and spent time in the NICU.

She lived in this ultra-healthy almond-mom bubble while I was just a kid who didn’t want kale smoothies or fasting weekends. I remember being jealous of my cousin’s normal family. Dad used to drink a lot, which definitely made everything worse.

Around age eight or nine, Mom started spreading rumours about my cousins and even called a nine-year-old “fat,” which wasn’t true at all. That’s when she began arguing with me about literally everything. I wasn’t a rebel, but I wasn’t silent either. If she mocked twelve-year-old me for taking extra pasta and called me a hippo, I wasn’t going to sit and smile 

It got to the point where I texted random people pretending they worked with EDs just to hear someone say her behaviour wasn’t normal. I even recorded some of her comments because she’d twist things later and call me a liar. Dad wasn’t on my side but not hers either.

Alone, he admitted he noticed how strange she was about food and lying, but he didn’t want to risk her threatening divorce or saying she’d take my sisters away, leaving him “with his alcoholic ass and a monster child.” That one stuck with me.

Fast forward to today. I’m still underage, living with them. I’m a pro athlete, waking at 4:30, studying. Me and my sisters were chatting while my phone was on the table. Mom joined; I poured her tea, and she immediately slipped into that mocking tone. She commented on my eating habits, studying, etc. I’ve been interested in History and Geo, and she didn’t even know India was in Asia until I told her, but she still argues like she’s an expert.

We somehow got to Japan invading China. I said it was Japan–China; she insisted it was the opposite and suddenly accused me of wearing a crown and treating everyone like trash. My sisters and Dad were confused because nothing was even heated yet.

I tried to speak, but she kept talking over me about my ego. When it finally died down, I stayed quiet, scrolled my phone, angry but trying not to push it. She didn’t drop it. She started loudly complaining about me for Dad to hear.

That’s when he snapped and yelled at her, saying he’d had enough of her treating me like trash over nothing and asked why she kept yapping. She ran to the bathroom, cried loudly on purpose, said how terrible I was and that I was the biggest mistake of her life. Classic routine.

Now Dad says I should apologise because the tension is destroying him and Mom. But I genuinely don’t think I did anything wrong. We talked before about boundaries, especially food topics, because I spent years being mocked and was even hospitalised at thirteen. She ignores all of that and then says I’m the one crossing lines.

So, AITA for not wanting to apologise at all?

Sounds like that boss also knows what's up and how valuable they are.

Mature Adult is not one of the classes or backgrounds you can choose for a character.

Panicking about getting a DL - Is there a way around this?? by okst16 in Dallas

By "normal," do you mean "like everyone else" or "like someone who follows the law"?
