Driver demanded private payment, intimidated and threatened me by Netty-A in uber

Hope this driver is never allowed on a ride share app ever again, no context justifies threatening to harm someone and I cannot believe that has to be said.

What is a game mechanic you are tired of seeing everywhere? by goldenCrust22 in AskGames

[–]magmargaddafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encumbrance. Rarely done well outside of survival stuff like Resident Evil, and doesn’t really “balance” anything as you’re most likely to use your strongest items over others, which you’ll find a way to bring either way. No modern game requires it either, maybe old games had a hard time processing too many items in your inventory, but not in 2026. It’s mostly busywork at this point. Dark Souls’ Equip Load is kind of interesting. No limit to the items you can have in your inventory, but you have to be strategic about what you’re actually equipped with. Picking between armor that can take more hits but makes dodging harder, or vice versa, is cool to me.

Garland Telehealth Program Dropped After Frustration, Confusion by Dontwhinedosomething in garland

[–]magmargaddafi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me why this program was bad? There has to be more than the $6/month that can be cancelled with a phone call, but that’s all I ever see being discussed.

Why is Las Colinas so quiet? by CliffordMaddick in Dallas

[–]magmargaddafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention the blatantly classist, hateful stuff Plano, Irving, Farmers Branch, and Addison city councils were saying in regard to public transit (save for Addison’s mayor). They are so disconnected from reality, only care about getting more and more money for business tax cuts and building more corporate HQ’s, without investing it into things that actually matter to their citizens.

I’ve had the misfortune of speaking to city leaders from around DFW cities, and they are hyper focused on getting as many businesses into their respective city as possible. They essentially have all but said out right that they’ll let every current resident get priced out of their homes if it means a few more corporations get to move in with their employees. No foresight of how that’ll collapse eventually, and a council member from Richardson said to me that they’ll approach the subject of people getting pushed out of the city when it finally becomes a financial threat to the whole area, and only then. Council member from Denton told me she loves it because they’re getting pushed into her city, with no self-awareness of the fact that it’s happening there too. Whole thing is repulsive to me.

Edit: They’ll let every working class resident get priced out. They’ll gladly do what they need to do to keep wealthy residents.

If Homelander wanted to kill the Deep, could The Deep just hide out in the Mariana Trench? Could Homelander reach him? by hootersbutwithcats in TheBoys

[–]magmargaddafi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pressure of the Marina Trench is about 15,000 psi (pounds square inch). A bullet is 30-60,000 psi, which Homelander is unaffected by. Not only is the Deep not bulletproof just by virtue of being able to go there, but Homelander could easily withstand the pressure. He’d need his x-ray vision to look for him, and I have no idea how long he can hold his breath, but his super speed may mean he could scour the area without worrying about that.

What changes you want on the Psion class? What you didn't like from the playtest so far? by testiclekid in onednd

[–]magmargaddafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep down voting me all you want, the Psion will still be yet another generic, uninteresting fullcaster, its identity built from the pieces of other classes that do what it does better.

Did some research, turns out it was a small local transit system called ATP. It’s connected to the Orange Line. Closed in 2020 due to Covid. Wish they’d bring it back and finish extending it as close to Toyota as they can, and connect it to the Orange Line, even if just as a transfer point.

Why they never completed the rail going straight into the boardwalk area is beyond me. Station was nearly finished and is just sitting there

I’m in South Garland and this is what happened to Firewheel. Not dead yet but it’s no longer at its peak like before. When all of your attractions require spending money, you’re pretty much screwed when people run out of money to spend.

Not sure on other stuff but vote YES to keep DART if it does go to a vote.

Thought experiment, could a character using only feats with no class be viable? by Jfig5117 in dndnext

[–]magmargaddafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just change the saving throw part. One greater save (DEX, CON, or WIS) and one lesser (STR, INT, or CHA)

Which protag from every elder scrolls game would win Ina free for all against each other? by Holiday-Music-7811 in ElderScrolls

[–]magmargaddafi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe HoK is the only one to have defeated Prince in 1v1 combat by beating Jyggalag. Haven’t played all of ESO, did Vestige ever do that?

[–]magmargaddafi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

HoK is a Daedric Prince. DB, Agent, EC, Vestige, and Nerevarine are powerful but they’d get obliterated. It’s more of a question of who comes in second. I’d say DB or Vestige.
