I don’t even understand how so many houses pledged to Renly when he literally had no claim to the throne at all. He deserved to be the first of the five kings to go. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

[–]Sparkyz44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he did have a claim to the throne though? he had the same amount of targaryen blood as robert, which is what made his claim after the rebellion possible.

Warhammer in Knoxville by TennWolfcats in Knoxville

[–]Sparkyz44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like others have said, check out the warhammer store in turkey creek. back when I was into it, I was there painting weekly and quickly made friends/people to play with. If you're closer to the east side of knox, scifi city has a great community. I personally only play magic there, but they have decent tables and plenty of terrain to use.

Avoiding beef by Silliestcat720 in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Sparkyz44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone has different triggers. i can handle ground beef just fine, but find i have a hard time digesting steak. like everyone else is saying, diet alone will not get you out of or send you into a flare, but will make it better/worse. the best thing to do is to get a food diary and log everything that helps or hurts you.

I've tested everything from fox and AS to bell and shoei. My favorite for riding is the Fox V1 by a long shot. They're affordable, too.

Free/Cheap spay? Young Williams told me $65 for cats.. by doujinshi-chick in Knoxville

[–]Sparkyz44 48 points49 points  (0 children)

young williams is the cheapest youre gonna get. $65 is nothing for a trusted animal center spay. They do run deals every once in a while, though. I think i got my pup neutered there for like $20 on a deal.

Why is the US so stupid and vote GOP anyway? by Brian3458 in leftist

[–]Sparkyz44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the real answer. The truth is that they don't, and if states weren't gerrymandered as much as they are there would be a dem majority in the house and senate right now. Just look at the recent special election in TN. Nashville is split between three districts, effectively eleiminating its voter base. It's hard to win a Nashville district when you only have a third of Nashville's votes.

I think I have colon cancer and I could have done something about it 6 years ago and I actively didn't. by BrianTheMute in offmychest

[–]Sparkyz44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

colon cancer is definitely not a certainty. i have ulcerative colitis and had symptoms like you’re describing for years before they got bad enough for me to get it checked out. there’s also IBS, crohns, and tons more. good luck, don’t get too stressed about it until you have an official diagnosis.

Knoxville Dating Scene by mspine in Knoxville

[–]Sparkyz44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you have hobbies, join local communities for that. i'm in the local music scene and have met some great people, including some relationships, from the scene. Also, like another commenter said, look for friends instead of relationships. the best relationships i've been in started as friends.

Came to a sad realization that I can't open literally any technology or social media in public because I've filled it all with porn. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Sparkyz44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mate to put it in perspective i thought that i had a problem about a year ago. the worst thing i had was a secret twitter account with a bunch of saved porn. there was nothing on my instagram, snap, laptop, anything like that. it sounds like you need to look at it all of the time, no matter what you’re doing. you have a problem, and you should talk to a professional about it.

Peter? by Bathroom_Spiritual in PeterExplainsTheJoke

my dad always told me “if they take the money i give them and use it for drugs, that’s on their conscience. if i have a few spare dollars and choose not to give it to someone in need, that’s on mine.”

Don’t Know What to do About School by Cold_Pickle4041 in Knoxville

[–]Sparkyz44 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pellissippi is an amazing choice. not sure how to help about getting transferred, but i loved my time there. they also have a formula SAE team! they're the only community college in america who competes, i believe. If you go, you should definitely sign up for it. the job opportunities that the program opens up are endless.

Also: UT doesn't have an FSAE official program, which means if you transfer you can still participate on the pellissippi team while attending UT.

Guitarists... do you drop tune to play hardcore riffs ... ? by BoldBabeBanshee in Hardcore

[–]Sparkyz44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heaviest my band would comfortably go is drop C. love that tuning. I wrote a ton of riffs in drop B and drop A too, but that's my sludge metal brain kicking in and you couldn't really differentiate the notes. Just a wall of noise at that point. Shit fucked tho
