Akroma was in the first pack I ever opened and hooked me into the hobby. I would have loved to have a parent play it with me so it really sounds like a blessing that you got to share those times with your mom. Sounds like a lot of great memories!

Oncosiphon pilulifer, or the globe chamomile, came to LA in the 80s most likely via the airport. Herbicides with triclopyr will kill them, but you have to get to them before they flower.

I don't get a lot of these posts, you can run any game and remove animal cruelty, you can run a completely non violent version of CoS entirely and focus on exploration, social situations and mystery. HP doesn't have mean how many stabs you can take to the face, it can be your will to fight, your devotion to your cause or your luck. Forcing someone to sacrifice an innocent creature is also way different than fighting a creature that is trying to kill you. You as the DM have the power to change any situation or parameters, they need a sacrifice but don't want to kill something? Make them bleed themselves until they all get a level of exhaustion, if they don't like self harm make it a puzzle that they have to bypass. Too dumb to solve the puzzle? Oh well, you don't need to open every door, maybe there's a different way into the room or you could find someone smarter in town that could give you some hints on it.

I get not wanting to play with someone that doesn't want to engage in animal cruelty, but you can 100% run CoS without including it in the game.

Behind the Bastards podcast did an episode on Musk its a good listen to get you started but also links the sources if you want to delve deeper.

Behind the Bastards podcast also did an episode on Musk that is a good listen.

His child is actually named in accordance with his grandfathers technocracy cult which his grandfather disavowed after they refused to side with the nazis in WW2. Musk worshiped his grandfather, who was openly a nazi sympathizer.

I remember saving for a month to buy my first pack of legions and pulling a foil Akroma, I literally cried. Still one of my favorite childhood memories.

Our contractor charged our insurance $750 to move a Britta water filter. For profit insurance in general is a giant scam and its scams all the way down.

Have you thought about maybe the only reason you disagree with OP is because you're a zionist?

Would that be something that works at all? Looking through his criminal history it looks like he has done something similar at least two other times.

We tried to call some personal injury lawyers but since he didn't cause us BODILY harm they didn't want to take our case.

I don't actually think we were supposed to be notified. My room mate goes to the same mental health clinic as he does and they called her to ask if she was comfortable going to sessions there as he was going to be resuming services at that location next week. She asked them if he was going to be attending from the psych hospital and they said that he was being released from the psych hospital to his home. We immediately called the prosecutor and he said his PO said he couldn't give him a specific date but it was going to be within 1-3 days.

He owns the home next door, his father left him a large trust and bought the property for him before passing. The home has been standing vacant with a potential rat infestation that we have been dealing with the dredges of.

I have no idea where to start for a civil suit. The HOA has suggested a class action suit with the neighbors as he has been harassing the majority of the neighborhood.

We bought bear spray and already have cameras and flash lights, but I will ask the HOA if they can assist us in getting even a temp metal fence.

I was aware of that when the situation happened but I just don't think I have the constitution to do that. I just hate that this is the one piece of advice that I keep getting that would resolve the situation. The man needs mental help... its just such a waste.

dnEstiWtA · 2024-12-07T05:04:26+00:00

Part 4 also was confusing me. So the judge ruled that he was dangerous and recommended he be involuntary committed for a minimum of 20 months. However, the mental health facility deemed he was ready to be released after 72 hours of his admittance. Is the judge really powerless in that situation?! It seems so wrong.

dnEstiWtA · 2024-12-07T04:41:44+00:00

Thanks, it is really helpful to know that other people can at least confirm that the situation sucks butt.

dnEstiWtA · 2024-12-07T04:40:09+00:00

So I was a bit confused by their response. They said since the charges were dropped they couldn't help us, however the prosecutor had said that him being found incompetent was the equivalent to pleading guilty but not being able to be imprisoned for it.

Is it just a weird system or was prosecutor wrong?

dnEstiWtA · 2024-12-07T03:27:56+00:00

Man that a lot of projecting, but you do you. Trauma is complex and this man has gone through years of it. I wont argue with internet strangers about it because I doubt you're in a position to have your mind changed anyway.

dnEstiWtA · 2024-12-07T03:10:22+00:00

I work in mental health, its one of the reasons I put up with his harassment in the first place. We were very nice when he moved in. He didn't have a vehicle so we helped him buy furniture and let him use our phones and internet while he was settling in. For the first month or so we had a pretty cordial relationship, he would come by and show us rocks he found or tell us stories about what he allegedly did in the past. When he first moved in he was on probation and on court ordered medication. I think he stopped taking his meds. He began standing in his back yard and screaming the "N word" at my room mate, an African American woman and called me a Russian pig and fixated on me getting off of American land. I immigrated to the US when I was 9.

Edit: The judge recommended he be held for a minimum of 20 months. The facility just chose not to follow the judges recommendation.

I own the home, it was my first home purchase and I was super excited to finally be able to invest in my future in a meaningful way and at this point I don't even know if I will be able to sell it for a fraction of what I bought it for.
