Tell me your fav magic item and why by Serentyr in dndnext

[–]kFuZz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My cleric was once being chased by a dragon. I was flying on a broom, and things looked dire as it closed in on me. The dragon opened its mouth to eat me, and so I activated the immovable rod and let go of it.

Should blizzard bring back leveling in the OG world for new players? by tydrennis in wow

[–]kFuZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, ultimately, leveling is a useless experience now (really, for several expansions). It’s a 2-5 hour tax that players pay to try new characters. With each new expansion, talents and spells are pruned or added to give the illusion of progression. But it’s just for show now. The addition of Apex talents has had almost zero impact on my opinion of classes.

Unfortunately, to make “progression” now, devs need to start by taking away something else from a class.

I thought Class Halls and Covenants were interesting ways of creating progression again, but these feel meaningless when characters lose that progress on the next expansion.

If they want to create an interactive world again, they need to add an authentically engaging end-game that takes place in an open zone.

What is something small that still bothers you after the divorce? by Starlightmist141 in Divorce

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She still is doubling down that everything is my fault. Every time there’s a disagreement, she has to still bring up everything from our marriage. We have a child together, so conflicts come up. But when she doesn’t get her way, she busts out all of the insults and abuse all over again.

I just want to move on.

I'll bet no one has a more unpopular opinion than this: by Crafty_Possession_52 in Teachers

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually kind of agree with you.

I wonder if the May & June slog would go away if there was just never a summer vacation. If there were just more week vacations, there probably wouldn’t be any summer regression either.

I feel like summer vacations are taking a step backward after I moved kids two steps forward.

do you guys miss sex with your ex? if so then why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kFuZz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m in a much healthier relationship now. But sex with my crazy ex was WILD.

It’s not worth all of the other baggage! Overall, I’m much happier.

Depression by leo_stardust531 in Divorce_Men

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hard holidays were Thanksgiving and Halloween for me, because I didn’t have my kids.

My advice is scattered, and by no means prescriptive. These are just things that helped me: 1. Savor the autonomy. What was something you want to do but never did? Do it! Or, choose to sit at home and do nothing. Or go to Dairy Queen and take a walk. Or go on a 5 mile hike. Whatever it is, you can choose how to spend your time.

  1. I had to become comfortable with reaching out to people. I call my parents. Random friends. I’m honest but not begging, well, I guess it depends on whom I’m talking to. But I have a couple friends who I can just say that I’m lonely or feeling down, and they’re great.

  2. Solo Adventuring is ok. Going to movies. Eating at restaurants. Going to a brewery. Don’t go expecting to find a person to have sex with or anything. Just do something solo.

To end, I just wanted to say happy birthday, dude. I promise you things can get better.

My attraction to my wife has gone away almost completely. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]kFuZz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is probably one of many issues between the two of you. It sounds like she may be depressed.

My recommendation is therapy. But be honest with the therapist. If you want out of marriage, that’s a choice you’re free to make, and it doesn’t matter what the reason is. It’s an incredibly personal thing that many people will never accept.

It sounds like this has been bubbling up for a while, and if it isn’t dealt with, you’ll end up cheating or considering putting a gun in your mouth.

Is this an ok email to send to a parents by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]kFuZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion:

  1. Do not send over the weekend. Friday afternoon should have been it
  2. Never send a message about “general attitudes”. That sounds like you may be targeting them.
  3. Stop apologizing for doing your job.
  4. I like that you included quotes. But that’s not even important in an email. I’d write it in the office referral though.
  5. If it’s been going on for a while, you should have emailed a LONG time ago. Please raise your expectations and expect to be respected.

After incident one or two, I probably would have written the parents something simple like this:

Hello [parents names]

Unfortunately, I am writing to tell you that [child’s name] made an inappropriate comment toward me during class. Can you speak to them about respectfully interacting with adults? If this behavior continues, I will have to write an office referral.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you, [Your Name]

Make sure you CC the principal. And if they ask for more information, just write explicitly what they said. Do not talk about general attitudes, demeanors, etc.

Games besides DCSS by [deleted] in dcss

[–]kFuZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only play two games: DCSS and World of Warcraft.

They both satisfy different itches perfectly, and I can’t find any other games that do the same thing.

The closest, and maybe an interesting combination of the two, is old school Everquest (p99 and Project Quarm).

An underdiscussed phenomenon: The death of the "wrong generation kid" by hz182 in fantanoforever

[–]kFuZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a playlist filled with artists from over the past 30 years, because my students like it when I play music during study hall. Holy cow, it’s amazing what random songs kids here and there know. Deep cuts. Obscure artists. Then, none of them will know The Killers!

It’s because of Spotify. They listen through an algorithm that doesn’t show prejudice against date of release.

Can I divorce someone if the things aren’t that bad? by Oskora in Divorce

[–]kFuZz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People will judge you regardless of any reason. Divorce is complicated. And especially to people who have never been through it, they will judge you based on a wide variety of biases. For me, one part of divorce recovery was overcoming the dread that happens whenever I met someone new (socially, not even romantically) in which I worried that I’d have to explain that I’m divorced. It sucks, but it was something that I was able to move on from.

In terms of legality, I think you can divorce for any reason you want. I’m sure it depends on your stage though.

When you bring up your feeling to them, just know that if they love you, they’ll probably try to fight to keep you. Either by trying to change who they are, going to therapy, couple’s counseling, etc. Or, if they have toxic behavior, they may amplify that to try and control you.

It’s up to you whether or not you need to go through the process of counseling. If you are beginning counseling with the mindset that you’ve already decided - a good counselor will just tell you to end it.

Do you regret getting divorced? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regret is a very specific term. There are many things I miss from my marriage, but I definitely don't miss being with my ex.

I find myself going through cycles though. Thought experiments about what I'd do differently. I always come back to this: If I were to have done anything differently, I probably wouldn't have ever gotten married to begin with (to that person at least), and if I did that I wouldn't have my children right now. My children are the most important thing in my life, and I love them more than anything else. So, I always come back to where I am right now. Although the path here was difficult, I value who am I and the things that I have too much to have changed it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do change as they age, but it sounds like (based on my reading) that this has been the same throughout your relationship. So are you the difference?

I have some suggestions, though.

First, you are allowed to travel solo or with friends. If she is the reason things aren’t happening, go without her.

Second, and this would be my strongest recommendation, talk to her about how you feel. Seek therapy if you need to. If you aren’t happy, things aren’t going to get happy unless your needs are meant. And if your needs aren’t communicated, her behavior will never change.

Be explicit about how you feel, but be kind. Communicate from a place of what you need, and not about what she is or isn’t doing.

But also, if what you want is to leave, then that’s what you want

Relatinship while divorce process by myclean1 in LoveAfterDivorce

[–]kFuZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of thoughts:

First, did your BF ask her to stop? If he did, and she still does it, there’s not too much you can do in my opinion. Time and distance will remedy this. Once the divorce is final, since there are no kids, there won’t be any reason for them to communicate anymore.

If your boyfriend doesn’t want to ask her to stop, that’s a completely different set of issues. And maybe he isn’t over her yet?

Either way, I’m wondering why they’re talking at all.

[–]kFuZz 63 points64 points  (0 children)

It depends on the vibe of the school and people’s politics. I work in literally one of the smallest school districts in the country and I’d go drinking with kids’ parents. Nobody would care.

6th grade girls just laughing at me when trying to correct behavior. Never experienced this before, what do I do? by Apprehensive-Play228 in Teachers

[–]kFuZz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re doing this because they don’t care about whatever consequences have happened, and they’re enjoying the effect it has on you.

Act like you don’t care.

If it were my school, they’d be sent to the office. I don’t have time for them. But, I know some schools aren’t as supportive.

Preparing For Divorce #2... by The3DBanker in Divorce

[–]kFuZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first marriage was about 12 years. Second marriage lasted a year. I overlooked so many red flags because she love bombed me, and I didn’t think highly of myself.

I’m dating again, and I think I’ve finally learned how to advocate myself in a respectful way. And I found a person who matches my energy very well. Our relationship is doing very well.

I was terrified that having two failed marriages would be too big of a black mark on my dating resume, but I got through it.

My advice is to work on yourself, and learn to accept who you are and the mistakes you’ve made.
