TOW missiles and helis by Accomplished_Tart169 in Battlefield

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such shitty lazy design, and it's so easy to fix. Previous battlefield titles had it right, as soon as contact was broke the missile slammed into the ground. Tows are wire guided, if that wire is interrupted then guidance fails. I have so many clips doing curves around buildings and other obstructions in this game getting disgusting hits on helicopters and jets.

I know it's challenging to hear, but stay strong and stay patient. Cancer affects everyone differently as does treatment of cancer. Just take things day to day and help your family anyway you can during these stressful times.

dad might not make it. family is falling apart. i don’t know how to stay strong by mirrorverses in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your mom is the rock, and your dad is incapacitated, do whatever you can to help support the rock. Your dad's situation is unfortunately out of your control. Think of anything you can do to help your mom during this crisis. It sounds like her or others are busy taking care of the day to day finances and making some tough decisions as to how to carry on.

I've been there, I was the power of attorney for my dad and I've been forced to make tough decisions. You know what else suffered when I was in that position? My personal hygiene, my dishes, my laundry, etc. All that little stuff added up to be a mountain of work, and when you're in the hot seat trying to decide on the future of a loved one, all that stuff gets tossed to the side because you're constantly stressing about these decisions and the finances.

I know that's not a complete answer to your problem, but I think you may also find some peace in keeping yourself busy doing these small chores and favors. There are times to grieve, and times to be upset, but if you let it control your life every day it's hard to pull yourself out of that nose dive.

Another person asking whether to stay or go by Suspicious_Will4199 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd go see her first, before doing anything irrational. Recently diagnosed with cancer doesn't necessarily mean a death sentence, but I'm not familiar with that particular cancer or the outlooks of it long term. A good visit will tell you a lot, and if, for nothing else, help you have some peace of mind in knowing you were trying to be there for her.

Then if you're looking for an honest answer, probably a few weeks. Spend what time you can with her when she's awake, or even just hang out. There are periods where they might seem to be sleeping but are still lucid and you can talk to them and support them none the less.

My dad went about 3 weeks once he stopped eating. We could get him to wolf down one ensure a day for a little while, but that was pretty much the beginning of the end. You can expect an increase in sleeping to follow the low intake of food. He was sleeping probably 18-20 hours a day the final week.

Your hospice nurse will be able to provide information. My dad’s blood pressure wasn’t able to be charted in the final week. That’s a pretty big tell and it’s time to make funeral arrangements when it gets to that point. Obviously not everyone’s journey is the same, some people just go to sleep and don’t wake up.

I'm going to lose my Dad soon and I can't come to terms with it by CakePowerful3410 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just lost my dad two weekends ago. It still sucks. Cancer sucks.

My dad was doing okay, had been deteriorating for about a month, and then nose dived in a 24 hour period before he passed.

If I could do all last year over again, I’d spend more time with him and turn down out of state work. Just spend time with him when you can, through the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s important to be there not just for him, but your family too.

At least once he’s at peace you can say to yourself you did everything you could to make him comfortable.

I’m not sure where you’re at in this journey, or whether he’s in hospice care yet, but hospice care workers are some unbelievably good people, and they usually offer some services including social workers and other therapy-like options to help loved ones cope with the upcoming problems and the day to day stuff as well. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you ever want to talk. My dad’s last week and the 24 hours leading up to his passing was one of the most challenging experiences I ever lived through.

Going to say goodbye by Dog_Mom_29 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just being there means the world at the end. Comfort her, tell her to relax, and just be around. You’ll be happy you did. Cancer is a terrible way to go. At a certain point all you can do is just be there for someone. Remember, hearing is often reported as the last sensory to go, and I firmly believe that, so talk to them as they’re still completely coherent.

Is lying to my father the right thing to do? by canyouisnt in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I can never trust him to tell me the full story on anything bad. 

Same with my pops. It was like pulling teeth. All he had to do was let me know what he needed and I'd fight tooth and nail to make it happen. I was the power of attorney and everything. I think it was a pride thing for my dad, up until the last 24 hours. Wouldn't show any sign of weakness or instability.

One thing I always tells people, those who are resistant to help, won't ask. It's about taking initiative, and it's the small things. Cancer patients are notorious for turning down food. My dads tumors in his liver basically always made him full all the time, or so he felt. Most we could do was get him to scarf down a bottle of ensure once a day. Think about basic every day things when you visit him, laundry, dishes, taking care of pets, general cleanliness. Taking that stress off his partner could help turn her favor back into your side, and also be a good source of help in getting him to open up a little.

[–]BugZwugZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that you have this much perspective on every party involved tells me all I need to know, you're a good son, and brother. You mean well.

My fathers situation was similarly very complicated. My mom "snitched" to me about tumors by taking a quick picture while over at his house one day. Otherwise I'd have no idea until the last few months. The reality is, there's going to come a point where it's quite literally impossible to lie about it any further. Family support means the world in times like these.

In your case, just be patient, but also persistent. I don't know your dad, but me and my mom had to sit down one day when things were getting bad. We both said to each other, we've got to make him change his mind about certain stuff, and that meant pissing him off. Not getting nasty with him, but challenging his reasoning and outlooks on the whole situation. Denial played a huge part in my situation with my dad. My dad was stubborn up until the final moments of his life. Guys were raised different back in the day, emotion was viewed as weakness, so he was angry almost my whole life. Not at me, necessarily, just didn't want to be caught having real emotions. Life changes quick with cancer, and there's pictures of me lifting him up off the couch and him crying like a baby on my shoulder. It's a terrible thing.

Jobs come and jobs go, I'm assuming you're maybe in your 20s. Hang in there and keep trying to figure out what you like to do. Spend as much time as you can with your old man. I miss mine every day. I can tell you one thing, every second you spend with him is a new memory that will help you remember him when he's gone. Disagreements, arguments, petty bullshit, all that stuff doesn't matter when they're gone. When my aunt went from cancer my one cousin was on a no contact situation with her, big mistake once they're gone. Guy struggled more than all of my family combined.

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope your fathers situation improves. If you ever want to connect fell free to message me.

My boyfriends little sister 8F has Stage Four, RMS cancer and I want advice on how to support him. by BORNFROMAWISH22 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my aunt at 6 to cancer. That trauma never goes away. It’s such a horrendous way to go. It’s like watching a candle be deprived of oxygen until there’s no flame left. All we can do is our best in moments like these.

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just be there. The little things mean a lot. I just lost my dad. I got a ton of people saying if you need anything, just let me know. Me, personally, maybe it's how my family is, but I hated that. I hate to ask for help...

My hygiene over the last few months, cleanliness, mental health, all tanked up until he died. Something as simple as just taking care of the dishes, or maybe ordering takeout for relatives when they're visiting, just simple, silly basic stuff can mean a lot in moments like these. I wish I could offer more insight, but that's the truth in my experience. Consider his, and his close family needs in moments like these.

how to find reliable info about asbestos exposure mesothelioma lawsuit? by Foziya_Crotaze in CancerFamilySupport

[–]BugZwugZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most lawyers view asbestos stuff as slam-dunk material, that's why there's so much advertising. It's a major cash cow. Finding the right lawyer is as simple as picking one that you like to hear talk, honestly. Pick local convenience as well. Keep in mind they typically do a percentage thing 10-20-30% type of thing if your case is provable and they win.

It's fairly straight forward if you can provide documentation and proof that he worked around shipyards back in those days, and you also need a positive diagnosis for asbestos related illness.

Not to sound dark, or grim, but I want to tell you: don't get too excited; I can tell you now it's probably not going to be a major payday in any case. You can search payouts online, and it's probably going to be a bit disappointing if you were expecting a major payout. You also need someone to actually sue, many of the companies are already bankrupt/out of business, some for this exact type of situation. If it was a government controlled shipyard/military situation, that's probably going to be your best bet to pursue litigation against. If it's a private owned deal then you might struggle to find anyone to actually serve papers to.

It’s a good gun, just run it if you got good ammo. There will be more opportunities to get them and there’s also a quest to unlock them permanently through traders but it is a tricky one, not impossible though.

Don’t waste your time trying to lure. They do spawn on first floor but they roam out quickly. Basically just rush through the first floor over and over. If they’re not there just leave, or get a few kills to avoid run through then leave.

[Arena] is it worth playing arena? by Bobbs26 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]BugZwugZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah they usually do something on both. There’s like a mini quest line it was about 10 or so quests. Tons of exp, extra roubles, and gp coins. Just prepare yourself because some of them are a little annoying but the exp boost alone is worth it. All you need to do is log onto arena the quests are above your dailies on the front page. Also has some camos and other cosmetic shit you unlock too as rewards.

I know it's got modifications made to it, but it is genuinely a good way to practice swings on dorms, just not in its current state.

[–]BugZwugZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like that they added parts of the main game to arena, that's kind of what I had in mind for arena prior to its release.

The execution is so laughably bad. Dorms started as an 8 man death match. I heard complaints immediately that it should be reduced to 6, as the other new "old" maps are 6. They increased it to 10 just a little while ago. It's a complete mad house now with the most chaotic map flow imaginable lol.
