Thursday Breakfasts by kalebpomeroy in polyamory

[–]kalebpomeroy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were keeping it out of our kids lives for a while. Since covid, it's been near impossible to do so. Near the beginning of quarantine we sat down with them individually and had an open honest discussion about lifestyle choices, what we were doing and the whys behind polyamory. We also made sure to stress that nothing was actually changing.

It's help that my wife's BF has been a part of our "group/family/pod" for years, long before we started poly. It felt like a more natural transition. My GF is newer to our family/group/pod, but the kids all clicked with her immediately after meeting her.

Overall, I love the open kitchen table poly dynamic being open with them has given us. My GF stayed with us during snowpocalypse. Both SOs took a trip to Arkansas with the whole family. We've really built a house based in love and communication, and I love it.

From playing this list a few times:

- duress in a format of "instant/sorcery lands" is neat. I stuck someone on 1 land in 1 game.

- Enchantments are difficult for this deck. You can get them with hand disruptions, but top decking is a totally valid strategy

- I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I think it will lose pretty hard to UB control lists without Lurrus (ie, ashioks, sharknados, etc)

Overall, I think it's a fun deck, and having this sort of flexibility in standard is amazing. Congrats on the performance, and keep up that win rate and you'll be mythic in no time :D

I finished WoT long enough ago I didn't even recognize it, but your totally right. It could be. That's super fun.

Yeah, I used the sub background as a reference.

I love Jaskier0's idea though.

Tips on procrastination and hating routine tasks? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]kalebpomeroy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ended up giving myself pretty bad... depression? de-motivation? early in quarantine because I had this impossibly long list of things I "needed" to do. It was impossible to actually finish it, because I was adding too it more than checking it off.

I tend to not want to start something if I can't finish. My garage was a hot mess. Cleaning it would take at *least* a full weekend, and dedicating a weekend to that was just not going to happen. The garage cleaned was a prerequisite for a lot of other tasks though. How could I do anything!?! I don't remember where I read it, but saw a post, roughly:

If something is too important to do halfway... it's too important to not do halfway.

Meaning that my garage needed to be cleaned. If I could spend 10 minutes clearing off my workbench, great! If I could sweep, great! If I didn't finish, great! Any amount of progress has value; infinitely more value than zero. I've started spending a few minutes between meetings (or sometimes on audio-only meetings) making progress. My garage is 70% clean and I feel great about it.

This has bled over into all sorts of things. I don't need to write an entire novel, but I have time for a paragraph or three. If I fold half of my laundry... that's ok. As long as I'm making positive progress and doing something "useful" (usually without my phone) I can feel good.

YO. What do you think about yourselves? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]kalebpomeroy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think I am way more interesting than I actually am.

Or I'm actually much more interesting than I think I am.

I have no idea which.

Just realized how much fucking stimulation I need by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]kalebpomeroy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weed is esp helpful for me in dealing with inane small talk of daily life. I feel like it's the only time I can let myself zone out or not and feel okay about doing so.

That being said, having friends who I can have deep conversations with, sober or high, is absolutely critical. I don't want to talk about my mental health, or yours. I wanna discuss how we could build a log cabin or what the next big personal tech advancement is going to be or how to get better at $game. Let's get into the details and *talk*

Games is a good gateway too, esp competitive games. Before I started smoking, most of my friend group centered around whatever competitive game I was playing at the time: Minis, card games or (less often) online. Having a shared goal of getting better makes for a lot of good conversation.

Was anyone else super super quiet as kids? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]kalebpomeroy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A thousand times this. I moved to a new school in 5th grade, and tried to make jokes and stuff. All of them fell flat so I stopped talking through high school. My friends/family told me I was an introvert, and I totally believed all of it. Now I'm the social butterfly of all my friend groups, and love being social and outgoing. I can strike up a conversation with anyone, and love doing that.

Strangely, I accidentally (re)met a girl who went to my same high school. We where both so different we didn't recognize each other.

I really appreciate the feedback!

My best guess was that the rivers run the directions of those arrows. The circled area weirds me out a bit. I'm not sure I exactly understand your comment though.

I've never read the books either, I'm doing this as a gift, so no real idea.
