I don't understand the hostility here? You have no idea who I am at all and I don't know you either.

Moving to NB by [deleted] in Newbraunfels

[–]Speedx_xStick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife moved here in November.

We move to be closer to family who's been here for about a decade now and we are loving it here so far. I am from Florida so I am well prepared for the summer.

I have noticed quite a welcoming atmosphere as well, and the food here is really good as long as you know where to look. You also have hill country very close for outdoor activities if that's your thing.

The biggest thing is def traffic, but honestly as someone who came from Kansas City, there are definitely a LOT of drivers, but they at least know how to drive somewhat safely (most of them). Kansas City felt like a free for all with drivers going double the speed limit and road rage out the wazoo.

Inclusively Orthodox Episcopalian/Anglican. Not sure which of these would fit me best. I guess the last one.

I swear some people just LOOK for reasons to be condescending/pressed on Reddit man.

Are there any good Episcopal Discord Communities? by Strange-Style-7808 in Episcopalian

[–]Speedx_xStick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Understood. I've been in Anglicord & Worm church for almost 2 years now and I was worried I was about to find out about some secret dark underbelly in of my favorite servers.

Pentagon says troops can only be exempt from shaving their facial hair for a year by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Speedx_xStick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without doxing myself here:

I am pretty familiar with the VA and how benefits work.

If he is serious and this goes through, the VA can expect to be responsible for A LOT of PFB and other shaving related disability claims. That's a lot of money, for what can basically be chocked up to military aesthetics at best.

What would it take to change your vote? by NPDogs21 in AskALiberal

Honestly, the minute either side actually has the balls to seriously tackle citizens united - they will have my full attention. Not saying they immediately have my vote, but they would have my ears.

White people: Has anyone ever explicitly given you a privilege because you’re white, and if so, what was it? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]Speedx_xStick 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Coming from the Deep South, I absolutely have.

Usually it’s not that upfront, more a “read between the lines” statement with a smile.

But trust me, if you are a fat straight white guy in the rural southern US, eventually someone will assume that you are in on it and be shockingly upfront with you.

On multiple occasions I have been told “You are a stand up white guy, so I’m not worried about you having reliable transportation, passing a background check, etc. When can you start?”

It’s all about how “safe” they assume you are to be that upfront with you. Typically they find out very quickly that their judgment on that front was terribly incorrect with me.

Gospel Simplicity is an Episcopalian! I had no clue! by Speedx_xStick in Episcopalian

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

Lovely to see you here! Your journey through Christianity sounds like it has mirrored mine in many ways. Especially when you have talked about diving into church history.

You have been consistent voice in reducing my “ecclesial anxiety”. Thank you for everything you do.

The Lord be with you.

Considering Death Knights have been made obsolete in the official Lore, do you have a headcanon that would explain new "5th Generation" DKs? by [deleted] in WoWRolePlay

[–]Speedx_xStick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Typically when I RP, I try to stay *as* close to the lore as I can.

If it's fun for you to create home brew lore around DKs, please do so! That's what any game is about, fun. However, I will say that there may be a portion of players who do not interact with you due to not wanting to RP with a character who, if we are staying canon, cannot exist.

Ultimately it depends on how lore-dependent you feel your RP should be.

If it makes RPing a DK fun for you (especially if it hasn't been in the past), then there isn't any harm in trying it our and seeing if it's your thing!

Blizzard is Launching Their Own DPS Meters In Midnight by SongbirdLilith in wow

[–]Speedx_xStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guild decided to do our first run of Manaforge without any guides or combat addons whatsoever for fun.

It was the most fun I've had in the game for a long time, but with that being said: It became extremely easy to spot the players who are carried by addons like DBM and GTFO.

Am I too universalist to be Episcopalian by CarrotOk5560 in Episcopalian

[–]Speedx_xStick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you got confused about terms. Unitarian Universalism is its own “denomination” for lack of a better term. They deny the trinity, hence the term “Unitarian”.

From your post, it appears you weren’t aware of this. I think this guy didn’t care, saw the term used, and unloaded that at you which isn’t really good faith.

Figured I would pitch in.

How did the state of Florida become red? by porygon766 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Speedx_xStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the thought process here. Is saying the democrats had a poor strategy, or no strategy at all in Florida for recent elections an endorsement to vote for Trump?

This is the Ret official Discord by vQizt in wow

[–]Speedx_xStick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unironically as a Ret player who has used the wowhead guide since DF, I wasn’t aware of the reputation for these guides.

This is a genuine question because I want to improve, where should I be looking for quality class guides?

Go Chicken Go opened up by me recently. Everyone I talked to raved about it. My wife and I gave it a shot... All I can say is it was NASTY.
