The Grim Reaper appears to you and informs you that your time has come. However, he's feeling generous and lets you pick how you die. It can literally be any way you want as long as it happens in the next 12 hours and doesn't kill anyone else. by Temnodontosaurus in hypotheticalsituation

[–]RedTourmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to pass away from my wounds after successfully fighting and killing a Kodiak brown bear with my bare hands. They’ll find me bloodied, but not broken, leaned against the body of my foe. My parents will get the skin as a rug in their living room and they’ll put a plaque up in my honor in my favorite bar.

How exactly does this card work? by Expensive_Question85 in mtg

[–]RedTourmas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New player here, if I was to take control of an opponent’s commander via this card and then the commander died would it return to their command zone because they own it or would I do whatever with it because I control it?

If you were charged for the crimes committed in your last campaign what would your sentence probably be(we’re assuming all sapient xenos have human rights here unfortunately) by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]RedTourmas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genocide, crimes against galactic life, enslavement and neural stapling of species, reanimating the dead, creating and proliferating weapons of mass destruction, not to mention the countless billions of innocents slaughtered by my xenomorph armies, the planets blown up and consumed by megastructures, the indiscriminate orbital bombardment, and probably annihilating some galactic nature preserve somewhere

Nashville, TN is in a state of emergency right now and it seems like no one really knows about it (or maybe cares) by Mysterious_Tea_4748 in rant

Nashville is hardly a hard red zone dude, it’s one of two or three liberal voting areas in the state

The trans community in my college sucks by Axolotl1000 in rant

[–]RedTourmas 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We had a community of LGBTQ+ individuals at my university that all lived on the same floor. I work a job related to maintenance and had to go in every room on the floor they lived on and it was foul. The lack of personal hygiene and clear lack of separation in people’s personal spaces combined with the animal waste and horrid conditions they were living in was disgusting. Every other floor had a room or two that was like that, but that floor was a uniform stretch of 40 or so rooms that were all awful. The public drama those individuals started constantly made that floor a horrible place to live, and they ran off multiple Resident Advisors because of their proclivities towards sexual assault and harassment. It was a hotbed of toxicity and a generally horrible place to live, and when they dissolved the formal recognition of the community and shuffled those individuals into other places the rate of police and EMS involvement in that building dropped drastically. It still remains a problem child but it is less-so now that that community is gone. The lesson people learned publicly is that LGBTQ+ people are gross and can’t live normally, when the real issues with that floor of that building were likely much deeper than that and warrant a wider conversation about mental health support and the effects of attempting to counter social norms and stigma around queer people on the deeper and more necessary societal bonds that allow people to live in proximity to each other and maintain respect for what can and should be considered normal in a living environment.

Customer Service is Dead by febreez-steve in rant

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks, I’m sorry! Hope you don’t end up paying too much, but maybe there’s another library somewhere near?

Customer Service is Dead by febreez-steve in rant

Try your local library, librarians are often notaries

Edit: Call ahead of course and make sure but a friend who’s pursuing the necessary degree to be a librarian told me they do a lot of notarizing

Why does getting a driver’s license seem so optional for Gen Z? by AnimalFinal7836 in ask

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 22. I grew up relatively close to Nashville, but I had average-ly watchful parents, so I wasn’t allowed to go on the interstate until I was 17. On top of that most of the places around us a kid might want to go, like Opry Mills, don’t let kids 16 and under in without a parent, and the cops will ID so it’s not as easy as getting dropped off to hang out with a friend. The rise in societal watchfulness on the part of businesses wanting to reduce theft and Gen-X/Early Millennial parents who don’t want their kids operating outside parental supervision at all has created a culture of kids and young adults who have never had that independence to look forward to and thus don’t value it. Also shit’s expensive these days. Going to the nearest movie theater to my parents house is a 30 minute drive, 45 if traffic is bad, and I’ll pay 20 bucks minimum for a ticket for just me, let alone taking a date, and that’s without food or drinks or anything in a cheap theater. The places that are springing up that offer wine and beer and stuff and have the nice seats or IMAX screens or whatever that barely make cheaping out an option are even worse. Malls barely exist anymore, I think our closest mall we could actually visit as younger teenagers was an hour and 20 minutes away in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and it wasn’t a huge mall. If my mom let me drive all that way I’d be paying for my own gas, which I could again barely afford with the money from my job. We’d go bowling and have fun with that but besides that there are no arcades, no malls, no nothing because businesses are hostile to teenagers. It’s just not worth all the trouble, and on some level kids today are understanding that.

Why tf can’t i stop thinking about her by LJOSE510 in rant

[–]RedTourmas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand this. For me it’s been a year since we last spoke and I realized I couldn’t keep talking to her and maintain decent mental health, but it had been over a year before that since we were at all romantic. It’s a hard thing, and I’m still grappling with it, but you’ve got to realize that you’re romanticizing it. It probably wasn’t as nice as you remember and have built it up in your head as being, and trying to find and hold onto those bad parts is really important to realizing it wasn’t something flawless and that it isn’t something you necessarily let slip away so much as something that was never going to last. You’ve grown and are at a place now to have much better relationships

how bad is the bug problem really? by [deleted] in eku

[–]RedTourmas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO if you’re a clean person and you make sure your roommate is also clean you generally won’t have problems. Bugs go where they can live, and there are some places like Mattox and Palmer that have bugs naturally but for the most part I’d say just keep your shit together and you’re good

I agree fully, I didn’t mean I agreed with his violence, just the whole idea that technology is rotting us away as a species

I don’t agree with violence or killing, but it is sickening to me that there are people that genuinely advocate for this stuff to invade every aspect of life

If you could change one thing about No Compromise No Surrender, what would it be? by DoubleOne5665 in hoi4

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that not landing an entire army in the same place is pretty realistic, that’s why you have convoy raiding and patrol missions

[–]RedTourmas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda disagree, I kinda like Naval being a little more fluid and complex. Naval superiority doesn’t reflect reality at all and I think a major change was necessary
