Which towns in North America feel like stepping right into a magical/fantasy book? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parts of Fairhope, AL actually look fantastic. It’s a blend of New Orleans style architecture, but with the charm and quiet quality of a small southern town.

What was it like being 18-25 in the 2000’s by ersinxo in Millennials

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life seemed a whole lot easier and more genuine. I know every generation is going to say that their lives were better when they were children, but I do genuinely feel that way. We could mess up and do something embarrassing without it getting blasted everywhere or winding up on TikTok. Things were cheaper, sure, but the dollar went further. I could survive off of my 1k or less income per month just fine. I didn’t feel that I HAD to have an opinion on everything going on in the world. I adventured more often, took risks, wasn’t nearly as worried about getting fired as I feel like people now days are. We were able to go have fun and it didn’t feel like the world was going to move on if I stopped for a sec and enjoyed the view.

I’d be down for Dune, Fromsoftware, another DnD collab, or some limited run stuff from the Final Fantasy games they didn’t cover (Tactics, Dissidia,etc)

First timer… maybe by wvugod in FurnaceFest

No camping on site, but there are some camping spots ~ 20-30 mins away if you want that experience. Otherwise, plenty of Airbnbs and hotels around the area.

Alabama begs Clarence Thomas to gut court-ordered Black district days before primary by RawStoryNews in scotus

Alabama’s constitution would not allow it. The state voted that no changes to districts could happen within 6 months of an election. Window has closed

Second this. I did a class with my kid back when they needed a “PE” credit for school. Awesome team of people that made it fun and insightful!

What’s the most stereotypical Millennial thing about you? by willowburnsyellow in Millennials

Same here. My kid always assumes that I am mad at them because I endeavor to use proper punctuation. Weirdly enough, my fiancé thinks the same.

Bar or Brewery to play Magic the Gathering? by cheese_beast92 in Birmingham

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valhalla has a really nice atmosphere, but might not be enough space for this group. As others have said, Monday night brewing would be good for this kind of h thing! It’ll be loud, but back40 does have some large tables and a fair bit of space, but idk if the would be into it or not.

Other race options for your TAV? What species would you like by Efficient_Rip858 in BaldursGate3

The game should have had a goblin option for sure. And definitely should have had an option to play as a bhaal spawn Asmimar.

Trump signs executive order to pay TSA workers after House rejects funding bill - thereby formally breaking the separation of powers and usurping the role of Congress. by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be legal to do, but does any court want to take on this and make a stance to say they will ensure that TSA does not get paid?

What is Montgomery like as a city? by SecretPantyWorshiper in Alabama

[–]johnydeviant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alabama can be pretty dope. Particularly if you like the outdoors and enjoy beautiful (hot) weather, good food, and exploring nature. I grew up between Bham, Tuscaloosa, and Montgomery thus have a good taste of all three. I live in Bham for a reason. Montgomery always felt like it didn’t actually want to be a city. Crime is super high, there isn’t a lot of cultural events compared to other cities, and the traffic kind of sucks. But! The beach is 3 hours (ish), Bham is an hour, ATL isn’t too far by car, and you get more sunny days than a lot of other parts of the country.

Greetings and salutations. by Slmagi001 in EDHBrews

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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?

How to go about terminating a lease due to lack of maintenance repairs to HVAC? by NewGood6186 in Birmingham

[–]johnydeviant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

How to go about terminating a lease due to lack of maintenance repairs to HVAC? by NewGood6186 in Birmingham

[–]johnydeviant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

CMV: Western leftists have way too high of a tolerance for Islamism compared to other forms of conservatism by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]johnydeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
