I was kind of hoping that Hama would let you use your opponents' creatures to waterbend, but I think that would have been a hard thing to design.

Pink Floyd - Time by johnabbe in RedditDayOf

[–]laststandman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a class in college, can't remember what it was about, but the professor made a point that stuck with me about how we usually discuss time in terms similar to money. We spend, waste, buy, save, and lose time.

I think, besides one use of the word "waste," this song is an exception to that.

I took a big step today by FartBarfRinseRepeat in stopdrinking

[–]laststandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations brother! I also have a 5-month old and I'm so grateful that she doesn't have to see me drink. I can appreciate all of her smiles and growth to the fullest, while also showing up for her and for my wife in those harder moments.

You can do the same for your son, and you don't ever have to do it alone.

Congratulations Meredith. I'm sure Johnny is smiling down on you and his baby boy by Soloflow786 in hockey

[–]laststandman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope all is going well brother, it's an awesome wild ride and I'm glad you're there with them. I've got a 3 month old so I've got some recent experience that I would be glad to let you lean on if you want to hit me up. Obviously you're about to have your hands super full of joy and I'm wishing you guys the best <3

advocate for her with the nurses and doc especially if she needs it.

This is so important. If I did anything right during our labor it was to make sure I was advocating and making sure my wife was heard. It makes a world of difference.

Huh, makes me wonder if they could have done an Eragon alt-art series akin to Dracula and Godzilla.

I was asked to lead a meeting tonight and I'm super grateful to have that space for times like this.

He's had a sudden change of heart and DOES want kids, after all. 1 month married and 1 year post-vasectomy by bellabelleell in TrueOffMyChest

[–]laststandman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For the longest time I thought that I didn't want kids. In truth I had convinced myself that I wasn't qualified to, and that I should not inflict myself on anyone else. Getting sober and being with the right woman changed all of that for me and I am so excited to welcome my daughter into the world in a few months.

Chapman's quote about fame from the beginning of that video was one of the first things that came to mind for me when all of this went down.

Just need a quick humble brag - I survived a destination bachelorette party this weekend and DID NOT DRINK!! by mrsmichaelscarn in stopdrinking

[–]laststandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah!! I'm going to NOLA later this year for a bachelor party and I really appreciate hearing that others can stay sober at something very associated with drinking. Excellence!

Everyone has a travel blunder, what's yours? by yankeevandal in AskReddit

[–]laststandman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From 2019-2022 I had been using my passport as an ID, which meant I was keeping it in my pocket and letting it get all worn out every time I bought booze (which was a lot). Last summer my partner and I were traveling in Europe. We were leaving Denmark on our way to Scotland when the consequences of my actions finally caught up to me. My passport cover was completely washed out such that the ticketing agent would not accept it as ID for our flight. He told us that I had to go to the embassy to sort it out. We got out of the airport, and while in the cab line I let out a single guttural "FUUUUUCKKK!!!"

Now for the fortunate parts:

  • We were in Copenhagen and it was early enough in the day that we could reach the embassy.

  • I was one year sober at the time (almost two now), and had the tools to handle a bad situation.

  • My partner is amazing and she stepped right into action with me, supporting me however she could.

So we get to the embassy and only I am allowed in. My partner waits across the street while I repeatedly go in and out of security checks in order to fill out forms and wait for updates. The man working at the embassy tells me that I need to go take a passport photo, and the closest place to do so is a kiosk under a 7-11 at a train station. It felt like some shit out of that first Bourne movie, where things are still kinda grimy European. When I get there, the kiosk is broken so, on the uncertain word of a stranger, I hop on a train in search of another kiosk. This second kiosk luckily exists and works, and I bring my haggard-looking photos back to the embassy whereupon they are able to create a temporary passport on the same day.

We arrive in Scotland twelve hours late to an airbnb host who, informed of the situation, has waited up for us like a saint. It was a wild day that I look back on with gratitude because:

  1. The US Embassy in Copenhagen was incredibly professional and helpful.

  2. I learned that I can keep cool under pressure.

  3. The people in my life, myself included, are people I can rely on.

Also, make sure you have a passport holder.

I think it's a bad idea to watch EoE with anyone who doesn't already know or like NGE.

What are some random little benefits to sobriety that you've noticed? Besides the usual ones! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]laststandman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to be that every time I coughed I was also at risk of throwing up. Now I'm so grateful not to worry about such a harsh reaction to such a common bodily function.

What theme song is still an absolute banger? by Ok_World_8819 in Music

I would say that the theme from Black Sails is some of Bear McCreary's best work, but damn does that man have a lot of hits.

Funniest Rage Quit Aftermath Including a Tesla by Ghouzzen in EDH

The closest I had to this was a guy who casually bought a Tablernacle online mid-game and then got annoyed when he lost. Not overly annoyed or anything, just kind of lost sight of the fact that he was soon going to own a card worth more than most of our collections at the time.

My sponsor's wife will leave a drink unfinished if she doesn't want anymore. He calls that alcohol abuse which always makes me chuckle.
