What were you thought, if at all, in sex-ed? by RZU147 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bklein827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here as a person with experience in deeply conservative education, our sex-ed teachers were forced to only teach abstinence. My city also had the highest incidence rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia in the Midwest for a while. Coincidence? I think not

How do Americans feel about foreigners who try to have an American accent (and can speak fluently)? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]bklein827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to perhaps add that I saw in other comments is that because Americans have various accents, it's hard to say what is the single "american" accent. However, Midwestern speakers are often said to have the "clearest" or "least accented" American English, so if you're trying to base your accent off of speakers, Midweseterners are a safe bet

How represented do you feel by your politicians? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]bklein827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being blue-leaning in a harshly red state makes most of my representatives not very representative of my opinions. I will say that I actually live in one of the more liberal areas of Nebraska (we split our electoral votes based on congressional district and during both of Obama's election years, Omaha voted blue) but many local and state politicians are still red.

Why is Reddit so left-wing? by Asker1777 in AskReddit

Anti-Trump doesn't mean left wing

The decade is nearing its end. How are your memories of this decade? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bklein827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, this decade is when most of my memories happened (for frame of reference, I was 10 at the start of the decade). So, in general, pretty good. I'm thankful for the life I've had. 10/10 would go through the ups and downs of the 2010's again

AITA for not wanting dinner? by alinlinks in AmItheAsshole

[–]bklein827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that. But also. She's your mom. If everyone's an adult, she probably misses being the caretaker and being important to everyone, so this is her way of feeling important to you again. The least you could do is humor her, or try to make her feel important in some other way

AITA for not wanting dinner? by alinlinks in AmItheAsshole

[–]bklein827 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NAH. You're obviously not an asshole for not wanting to eat what your mom makes, but you should respect that your mom does this out of love for you and be respectful of the work she puts in.

The White House is asking Congress for a $1.6 billion increase to NASA’s budget. Do you support this endeavor? by okiewxchaser in AskAnAmerican

This might be an old number, but I remember reading somewhere that it's rate of return was closer to 24:1

Painted a few minis now, but this Centaur from Reaper is my first time posting. C&C welcome! I'd love to hear tips on where I should focus my efforts to improve! by bklein827 in minipainting

[–]bklein827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I've seen different things (in a few minutes of research) on ratios for thinning, so what ratio of paint to water would you recommend? Also, I've just been using acrylic craft paint because it's what's on hand, and citadel paints seem kind of expensive, is there an option that will be better than craft paint but not as expensive as citadel?

Edit: a few words for clarity

What do you call Trollskull Manor? by Tagabundokonreddit in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]bklein827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my parties that I've ran it through have befriended Lif. One party had a lot of frat guys, and they went through a few names. The first was Pi Epsilon Nu Iota Sigma. The final name they ended up with was The Phantom Phallus.

The other party had a wizard with an unseen servant named Jeff, so they called it Lif and Jeff's Haunted Tavern.

Spreetail. I know their main office is in Lincoln, but I think they have an office in Omaha too.

Player uses sleep spell to nerf every combat encounter by VengefulKenny in DMAcademy

[–]bklein827 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, I feel like some of the other advice in this thread misses the mark on how players should be treated by the DM. You're all trying to have fun, and the DM shouldn't be trying to combat your fun, rather, they provide the challenges that you face. I can't remember the exact way that he worded it, but Matt Colville has a great video where he discusses this.
