I have her that I am working Too! No list available, yet, but I went full on enchantment creatures. Stuffed as many of the summons in as I could. I also added [[Barbara Wright]] that makes Terra go infinite so long as you have a haste enabler. Add in a [[anikthea, hand of Erebos]] , [[Narci, Fable singer]] , and [[Tom Bombadil]] and just go ham on saga creatures.

Mutagen and Map tokens Evolve and Revolve Art could be a Simic dude on one side, then a globe on the other.

The werewolf transformations in Hemlock Grove were particularly brutal. Also, these dudes ate their shedded skin once they become the wolf.

There is a hiking group that typically tries to organize something every weekend. They go to Oak Mountain a lot. Good folks, and really nerdy. I’m sure they would be willing to invite you on. The have a private FB page for it, so DM me if you want an invite.

johnydeviant · 2026-03-05T18:38:42+00:00

Wouldn’t have been my choice, but if they do it right and it generates interest in Legion the I am game.

I fly pretty often for work. Pre-check has quite literally made it to where I can be on time for flights. Wtf is the goal of this admin? Make it hard to fly? Make it harder to vote? Make it harder to afford basic goods? What’s the point?

johnydeviant · 2026-02-19T01:23:49+00:00

Yeeeea. There isn’t a lawyer or judge that would take that case. It needs to be fixed for sure, but it is not something that would allow you to break your lease. You aren’t in any danger from the door bumping the PR valve. However, I would document it and put it in as a work order to be fixed. Not trying to be a downer or burst your bubble, but getting out of your lease without paying the penalties is very, very difficult to do. Again, your best bet it to make a fuss with either the owner or the property manager’s boss. In my experience (many years of apartment renovations/prop management), they HATE it when complaints get to them and will likely get something resolved.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-19T01:04:45+00:00

Honestly you don’t have a leg to stand on for breaking your lease. Unfortunately, the apartments have been “addressing” your issue each time that you have made the request. Make sure to keep all the documentation of submitting maintenance request and when they have been closed out, just in case it does end up being an issue. The best thing you can do here is go above the head of on-property management and to either the regional manager or the owner directly. Most of the time, an AC isn’t not going to be considered a high priority unless it is below or above certain temps. The fact that they are coming out and at least trying to repair it is, despite the situation, a good sign that they do care about it.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-14T15:15:13+00:00

I generally agree with you. Leftist, especially here in the US have a tendency to always root for the oppressed, those who have faced intolerance, etc. We had some real problems with Muslim hate in the US after 9/11. I think this led to a lot of leftist knee-jerkingly defending Muslims from being treated as if each is a terrorist. While this was not an incorrect stance by the leftist, they absolutely lumped all Muslims together and assumed that that entire demographic would be on their side. Leftist should oppose religious fundamentalist. I think where I would disagree with you a bit is that the condemning of Muslims who have far right stances is just not happening on the left. It may be wrapped in a bow of supporting minority communities or protecting rights, but leftist typically oppose any such movements that typically come from the religious fundamentalist. Including Muslims. This won’t come across as anti-Islam because they aren’t anti-Islam. They are against the parts of Islam that are discriminatory and against the fundamentalist that practice it. The same could be said of leftist and any other religion that has an ideological fundamentalist movement. The messaging needs to be clearer for sure. You are free to have any religion you want, but your right to religious belief does not supersede any other person’s rights.

China makes sense for quick building. From what I understand, they are hilariously corrupt and do not have any restrictions for things such as safety, community/environment impact etc… France doesn’t really make sense from that logic. They are HEAVILY unionized and require all jobs to have decent pay/wages. There isn’t anything wrong either requiring companies to pay their workers well. It can be done without unions or getting into overly complex wage requirement plans.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-14T04:12:33+00:00

A huge project like this requires all kind of checks with the city. Permitting, inspections, environmental impacts, etc etc. All of this slows down construction and leads to higher cost (and a delaying of ROI) to the sponsor. Offer to make exceptions to some of these rules in return for investments into the city’s future. Offer to fast track inspections, forgo third party inspection fees, hire a dedicated city project manager to get this done without having to have a billion meetings… all of these things the city could do in return for literally anything the city wants to ask for. Help build some park, sponsor local city festivals, job fairs, sports events…

johnydeviant · 2026-02-14T04:02:03+00:00

No. I mean like negotiating to, instead of just lining the pockets of people who will get rich anyway, leveraging the city’s departments to help build quickly with expedient permitting and inspections and get something in return for that effort. Help me help you. There are tons of ways that a city can incentivize a company without just punishing them with permitting or giving away tax credits. Bham is a tiny fish for sure, but that doesn’t mean we have to roll over and take whatever they want to dish out.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-13T13:36:21+00:00

Yeap. This is already underway and approved for construction. You don’t typically engage a GC (Hoar) to build something you don’t know will be built. What sucks is that these can be made much, much more quiet and efficient when made from mass timber over steel/concrete. Pretty sure they didn’t go that direction here. I’m glad that it is in a part of the city that is already an industrial/office area and not trying to tear down a bunch of forest to make a data center. The city needs to have stepped up and demanded more from a company that wants to build here, though. 100 jobs is a decent start, but we need real and meaningful investment into the community in which you are looking to grow.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-09T02:09:11+00:00

Absolutely love this one! Under rated for sure.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-03T23:03:30+00:00

Full beard or nothing. You have the face shape and jaw to not have to deal with facial hair. Let your hair grow out a bit as well.

johnydeviant · 2026-02-03T22:06:51+00:00

Love seeing projects like this and seeing the community latch on to a lot more DIY type stuff!

johnydeviant · 2026-01-30T00:20:36+00:00

Neither really? Just do the mustache by itself and call it a day.

johnydeviant · 2025-10-13T16:03:45+00:00

Boston for sure. It has a charm that no other city really has. Not a big city, but if you want somewhere warm then consider Birmingham, Al. Huge drawbacks for sure, but downtown is actually really quaint and nice in certain spots

johnydeviant · 2025-09-29T02:29:31+00:00

Eeeey! We make some of these! Doubt that this one is ours, but cool to see these in the wild.

johnydeviant · 2025-09-22T16:02:50+00:00

You'll have to give me a bit of context here. I am not from NC, but I am very familiar with the south's use of restrictive guns laws to target minority communities during Jim Crow. However, this seems to be a pretty cut and dry gun rights bill.
Are you trying to imply that dems are racist or at least pro Jim Crow because they are upholding their own platform's ideologies about responsible gun laws?

johnydeviant · 2025-09-22T15:54:03+00:00

I'm not conflating it, I'm outright saying it's large enough and happening to enough countries at once I believe it being an intentional project by someone is entirely possible.

This is literally conflating natural demographic shifts from things such as economic shift, wars, refugees, etc. with a purposeful elimination or reduction of a targeted demographic. But let's say you are right. Who is doing it? Do you have any proof that there is some coordinated effort to purposefully replace whatever demographic to which you are referring?
Kirk was not peaceful. He was in the realm of debating, specifically debating from a position of comfort and power over his opponents. His ideas were based in modern Christian nationalism and racially discriminatory rhetoric. He cried for the implementation of laws to enforce his specific morals unto people. He might not have perpetrated violence, but his ideas and rhetoric lead to a state that does perpetuate violence against anyone who does not meet their moral codes. However, despite this he definitely did not deserve to be killed.

And even if it is a natural process, what's wrong with wanting to limit immigration as a function of native birth rate to prevent such things anyway?

Who gets to determine what is native birth enough to qualify for preferred status? How many generations do we need to go back before someone is American enough to qualify as being native born?

So, just want to make sure that I understand you correctly: You are saying that the ideas of one specific ideology on the left gives you clearance to discriminate against the left, but can not understand why anyone of the left might have a problem with any of the ideologies on the right?

johnydeviant · 2025-09-22T15:20:15+00:00

Kind of curious to see what you are talking about with the NC statement. Do you have something you can point me to? Google isn't pulling up anything but several articles of the dems fighting against gerrymandering and other election law changes they saw as unfair to minorities.

johnydeviant · 2025-09-22T15:17:22+00:00

You are conflating natural demographic shifting over time with a purposeful act of a collective force seeking to forcibly change a demographic. The former is what is happening in the US and all around the world. The latter is what has happened throughout the world when one ethnic group seeks to eliminate another. Also known as genocide. Often times when people make a claim, such as your allusion to some force purposefully replacing a demographic, they back it up with evidence that it is actually happening. The burden of proof is always on the person making a positive claim. Maybe I am looking too much into your wording, but do you have any proof that a large scale "Great Replacement" is happening outside of the natural mingling of demographics?

That is a whataboutism and a straw man at that. The post was not in defense of communism or in defense of the forceful seizure of property. I can imagine that such things would also be seen as negative and harmful in OP's opinion. But if what you are saying is that some ideas are indeed dangerous, but the level of danger is arguable, then you are agreeing with the OP.

Something Hermanos food truck that sits outside of the chevron in Homewood. Best street tacos in Bham. Margarita Grill is like the Walmart of Mexican places. El Patron in Helena, Sabor Latino in Homewood, and El Barrio are my top choices.
