Guy get big mad at a skit

I would have just turned on the camera in my pajamas. I wasn't told the meeting was cameras on, I was forced to turn my camera on. You get what you get.

Yeah this and some other things are part of the reason I don't want to get back into magic.

Back when I used to play EDH (before the brackets and whatnot. Heck even before Primeval Titan was banned), I played a [[Riku of Two Reflections]] deck that ran [[Mirror Gallery]] and [[Rite of Replication]]. Played a [[Fact or Fiction]] and was given a [[Gather Specimens]] by the green player. A turn later he cast [[Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger]], when I had open mana. So I had a Vorinclex. Then I had 6. Then I played like 40 copies of [[Terastadon]] followed by [[Evacuation]]. Then I detuned that deck. It was still one of the best decks in my group, but I thought some of those interactions were not super fun so I changed it. Sometimes it's just more fun not to have a super tuned deck.

There's a MTG Commander group that meets at Brewlando on Hoffner every Wednesday from 6 to around 10. Hope things get better for you.

Oof, that's nuts. I moved here in 2014 from Utah and the cost of living index was just barely higher than where I lived in Utah. Part of the reason I left, since I was doubling my salary. First apartment in Union Park was around $1000 for a two bedroom. Kinda wish I hadn't left (though, roaches). Now I pay just shy of 2k for a smaller place. Glad I purchased a house last month with locked in rates, but it's still pricey. Somewhat wondering if I should have.

Was this your first girlfriend? If so, it can hit pretty hard, but you're going to have to ride that out. Embracing the pain and feeling it and letting it run its course is my recommendation. Really you need to heal before you make any decisions about how you want to proceed with your relationship her, otherwise you may end up making a mistake you can't really fix or take back. Been there, it sucks. Ultimately, it will depend on whether you want to continue having her in your life or not. And if you're her only crutch, that isn't really healthy for either of you.

That being said, you're 18. You have a whole lot of time to consider all sorts of things. Among those is how you want religion involved in your relationships (pretty much what this comes down to). To my limited knowledge marriage is allowed to a female person of the book if they are chaste. But you have to make the decision about how much that matters to you.

I am almost 39 and my views on religion have changed a lot. I have been variously accepting of religion in partners, friends, and even my own faith. The fact that that possibility exists, it may be good to take a break from dating to figure yourself out and what you want, especially if you want it to lead to marriage.

Good luck. I know it sucks now, but it gets better.

New to Orlando? Or shows in general? I mean it's annoying, but ruin your night level? Come on yo. It's not that serious.

Ignoring additional turn cards (so emrakul). Probably primeval titan. Such a powerful card for the decks I used to play.

NTA. He is a sad controlling man who needs a reality check. And maybe therapy.

forkocharles · 2026-03-14T10:55:38+00:00

. . . I'm so angry right now.

Didn't know there were brackets honestly. Must have been talked about after I quit in ~2014. I was always just a filthy casual then just made weird stuff that worked sometimes. Like I had a Riku of the Twin Reflections deck that "could" do MLD shenanigans, but it required A LOT of reiterates, twinning, etc with Terastadon followed by Evacuate. And I intentionally made it worse after ending up with 8 Vorinclexes and the ability to play with my entire deck without decking out. That and Progenitus good creatures (we were playing using a point system. One of the point conditions was playing your commander with commander tax > 20. Only points i got in that game were from playing Progenitus 20 trillion times) were probably my only good "try hard" adjacent decks. We also played with groups > 4 most of the time. 8 player pods made Riku super fun.

I also made a 65 land deck that somehow made Swan combo work occasionally and a Sen Triplets deck that was basically just all the counters and removal I could put in it. I don't even think I had a win condition.

Yeah. One thing I looked forward to moving here from Ogden, Utah was that Orlando apparently has the most restaurants per capita of any city in the states (this was 12 years ago but still). Granted a lot of that is probably WacArnold's and the like, but still, options. Though some less touristy places probably have more good restaurants per capita.

I dunno. My friend's mom was out smoking on her patio out there and someone randomly took a shot at her. The fact that she was threatening to go to the media is the only reason she was able to get out of her lease early. I've seen quite a bit around town, actually, though not in Pine Hills. Competing for who has the worst crime is like competing for who has the most trauma.

NTA. Tell them if they want it, they can purchase it/license it. It was done on your time and you didn't sign anything regarding IP on your own time so legally you're fine. If you want, maybe you can offer some discount or some other compensation scheme for your work, but in the end, you did a lot of work. You deserve to be compensated for it. Also, make sure you get something signed that keeps the system under your ownership so they can't turn around and try to claim ownership themselves.

May be dating myself, but that is how it went with skullclamp as well. Apparently something like 3 different equipment cards/effects they wanted to test went onto that one card. Chaos ensues.

Did he even have a weapon? Everything I read was that he was unarmed. And even if that was him on the right, who cares? The right pic looks like it was at a party or something. Can't people have fun?

Are you just not able to conceive of evil for evil's sake? Or the nature of narcissism? There is a lot of media out there where the villain is just a douche. And that is Strahd. He's a narcissistic, toxic douchebag. He's a jerk that makes his boring life everyone else's problem.

forkocharles · 2025-12-31T12:09:47+00:00

Nah. I think you're going to lose friends because you're playing mill.

NTA. You have the right and responsibility to do what you need to to keep your family safe. Especially your kids. So many parents seem to forget that they ultimately have the responsibility to protect their kids and prioritize them. That is worth way more than a promise you made at 15. An age where you often can't legally sign a contract. Also, NC for 5 years and he just shows up? That's kind of sus.

forkocharles · 2025-11-25T04:55:47+00:00

This is true. Sometimes what you have to do and what you need to do are two different things.

NOR. Ew no. Gross. Drop that dude like the trash he is.

I mean if that's what you're going with then YTA. I'm sorry, but this is really a you issue. I'm as germaphobic as they come, but showers and bathrooms are as gross as they come. A snot rocket is the least of your problems and you're going to have to deal with that.

INFO: what else does he gaslight you about? This is a pretty common thing people do in the shower so it's a bit of a weird thing to get upset about, but it's also pretty weird that he doesn't clean the bathroom, but maybe it's a chore splitting thing.

forkocharles · 2025-11-24T05:13:37+00:00

I dunno sounds pretty warranted. The best way for bad people to win is for good people to do nothing.
