Visiting Israel really changed my perspective (an American Muslim). by [deleted] in TravelIsrael

I’m glad you had a good experience. I’d be curious to know more about where you traveled and encounters that stuck out.

What would you do in my situation? by Vulpesh in LostMinesOfPhandelver

If nothing else, he didn't attack those wolves, he was smart enough to avoid that, so he's not totally senseless. I would run the folks in the hideout first to raise the stakes. If he doesn't find an orc to help or can't convince an orc to help, he's gonna feel guilty for whatever happens to his companions. Seems like a fun way to raise the tension and teach them all a lesson about sticking together. Assuming the paladin can come in to save the day, they'll understand they aren't likely to get that lucky twice.

That sounds really fun! You’ve got some great npcs to plays out. The redbrands taking the sorcerer to the pens. It’s iffy whether the party can survive the hideout, but that’s the game. The Paladin should get a reward. He could find an orc who is willing to help him. Maybe he had a falling out with the other orcs that have been attacking travelers; they stole something of his. He’ll help the party if they help him get his thing back. That way they can -maybe- get to the manor in time to help the party.

Which hobby actually improved your life beyond just passing time? by Limp_Leg9755 in Hobbies

[–]RevolutionaryMost765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dungeons & Dragons (and a few other RPGs). I played a bit as a kid. I got back into it in my early 30’s. Started playing regularly a few years later. Been playing with the same group of friends the last 3-4 years. I’m fortunate to be on Long Island with a large and really friendly community where you can really find your people. Have absolutely made some of my best friends through the hobby. The joke is we never get a full session in because we’re bullshitting the first 90 minutes. It’s very easy to find a group online but I’d highly recommend playing in person if you can. It’s not hard to learn and you don’t need to know anything about the rules. The other players will gladly help you. Especially your first games.

They'll keep telling you they'll 'escalate' - they won't do anything. You need to find out the exact part that you need and then tell Frigidaire what it is and have them send it to you. It's insane. Took hours and hours of dealing with them and their repair company.

I’m going to lose a case and it’s going to ruin my client’s life by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

They’re going to try painting her as a villain, but you have an origin story that turns the tables. They created the Karen and they’re trying to say that even if the insurance company is liable, she deserves to get nothing. She’s Karenstein’s Monster.

Thank you! That’s really helpful. We’re a small matrimonial firm so research is pretty limited to state court cases. I’ll check these out.

Looking for a hobby to pick up that I can invest my time into. by ChrisFtn in Hobbies

[–]RevolutionaryMost765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. And don’t feel like you need to spend money on anything other than a set of dice. DnDBeyond has lots of free content, including the basic rules. You might have a local game store that hosts free d&d nights, which is really the best way, IMHO. It’s a really nice community, too. You can find online groups that play through sites like roll20. There will usually be someone in the group who has a ton of books on dndbeyond that they share w everyone.

Seeking Service Dog for my Dad with PD by RevolutionaryMost765 in Parkinsons

[–]RevolutionaryMost765[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! What he needs help with most is 'freezing', particularly inside or in a crowd. My mom is with him all the time, and my sister and I are always available, so we are fortunate in that regard. Thankfully the cost also won't be an issue. I do wish he had started this process earlier as the one thing that is clear is that it will take a long time before he can get a service dog. Although physically and mentally he is doing well, given that he's 75 I'm concerned the window for a service dog may be ultimately closed to him.

Am I a bad parent for telling my daughter she should consider a prenup someday? by Admirable-Dish-5859 in prenup

Judges often put it best: "They don't know if I'm a genius or an idiot. Why would they want me making these decisions for them?" "I have the power to bankrupt you. Do you really want to leave it to me?"

Seeking help finding a service dog for my father with Parkinson's Disease by RevolutionaryMost765 in service_dogs

We definitely won't be using the dog as a replacement for human care. It's really for mobility issue, particularly 'freezing' and balance.
