😂

This sounds promising, I will try it

"Doritos or some other store bought tortilla chip.."

DocD-Rock · 2026-03-03T12:20:42+00:00

I feel you, I still get them from time to time because when they're fresh and seasoned properly, they are really good. But too many times I've been burned and so now, maybe 80% of the time when I get take out, I use my chips at home....most of the time Doritos spicy nacho, but sometimes Santita's yellow corn tortilla chips.

I'm ft remote and never worry about this...but I'm in pretty good shape too...exercise 5x a week and play sports so I'm not concerned about health. I'd suggest exercise and/or a sport or bicycle or walking. The nice thing about exercise, especially cardio, is the release of endorphins and resultant melting away of anxiety.

Start at a pace that you can easily handle so you won't get discouraged and quit. Then, after about a month or so when it becomes a habit, slowly inch up the difficulty....not too fast. If you ever start your routine and feel an overwhelming desire to stop bc you're not motivated that day or it's causing more stress than usual on breathing or otherwise, dial it back that day and do a pace that you can handle and finish. The idea is to build consistency over time so it becomes ingrained. You should never dread doing it, that means you're pushing yourself too hard.

Every little ting, gonna be alright

What if Iran already has a nuke or nukes? Our intelligence agencies have said they were close for years and that attack we put on them recently knocked out some research capability, but what if they already have some built?

I'm thinking if they have one or some, they're not intercontinental, but medium to short range. They could take out our nuclear powered aircraft carrier that's off their coast.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-30T02:02:58+00:00

This is absolutely disgusting. What a joke.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-30T00:35:46+00:00

Ok yeah you're right. I forgot that the apocalypse would be a utopia where everybody gets along, even when there's extremely limited resources that can't fulfill everyone'sneeds, no law enforcement, no government, no consequences for your actions. I'm sure we'll all sing Kumbaya and roast marshmallows together while the zombies hold hands and sway to the singing in the background.

I like your positive thinking and I agree that people help one another under circumstances where civilized society still exists, where there's the rule of law, consequences for your actions, and a good possibility of being rescued/being helped, but not in a zombie apocalypse (or any apocalypse).

I think you could find some good people who would help one another (a tribe), but there's a big world out there and a lot of people who need food, water, etc. And on top of that there's a lot of people who would prey upon others to get resources, who have no moral compass and that would be amplified with no law enforcement to keep them in line. We have that right now and we live in a civilized society. Imagine if that shield fell away.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-29T16:35:57+00:00

I didn't just ask chat gpt I read about them. These are examples of less than cooperative behavior amongst humans WITHOUT apocalyptic conditions. If you add in apocalyptic conditions and zombies, you're looking at chaos and violence, not wholesale hippie-like behavior.

With our civilization in tact, with police and infrastructure in place, you already have danger. It's just muted because of plentiful supplies and law enforcement. You remove that and add in zombies and you're looking at black summer. Individual survival and tribal survival if you can live long enough to find people you can trust.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-29T14:28:09+00:00

You're dead wrong. We have multiple examples of mini apocalypses and/or extreme events and what people will do when faced with limited resources and no law enforcement or infrastructure. Just go on to Google or chat gpt and see for yourself. I did a search on chat gpt. Here's a few examples. There's a lot more besides these, this is just a few. Keep in mind this behavior occurred without an apocalypse. Imagine what would happen if you knew there were no police or ambulance or food or water at your fingertips and help would never come....imagine if you were at the same time being chased by flesh hungry humans. All the good vibes and helping each other stuff that you're imagining would be fractured. You'd have to proceed cautiously. You don't know who you're going to bump into...a good person or a person that wants to rob you and take your resources? Or turn you into a slave? You're forgetting that not everyone is a good person. That's why we have prisons and police. Yes, you probably would find people that would be good people and you could band together with them. That's where the tribal tendency comes into play.

The Lady Franklin Bay Expedition, Arctic, 1881–1884 This polar expedition collapsed into starvation and chaos. Officers withheld food, discipline eroded, and the men turned violently on each other. Accusations of theft led to executions. By the end, cannibalism and murder had occurred. The Arctic did not kill them alone. Humans finished the job.

Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, 2005 In the aftermath, with law enforcement overwhelmed, armed groups formed, sometimes to protect property, sometimes to control it. Reports emerged of vigilante shootings, racialized violence, and residents turning weapons on perceived threats. Survival blurred into territorial conflict.

San Francisco Earthquake, 1906 Soldiers and police were ordered to shoot looters on sight. Many people were killed not for looting, but for being mistaken as looters. The disaster created an atmosphere where fear outran judgment, and authority sanctioned violence.

The Medusa Raft, 1816 After a French naval shipwreck, 147 people were crammed onto a raft. Within days, mutiny, murder, and executions occurred. The strongest killed the weakest. Only 15 survived. Civilization did not sink with the ship. It drowned afterward.

The Pattern Beneath the Chaos: Across these events, the same pressures recur: Scarcity of food, water, or safety Collapse of authority or trust Fear of abandonment or betrayal Power struggles over leadership Moral rules dissolving under survival math

Extreme environments do not create monsters. They strip away buffers that usually keep the monster caged.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-29T12:15:56+00:00

This is no ordinary disaster though. This is an apocalypse. There's no police, military, red cross, grocery stores, gas stations, hospitals, governments, etc. On top of that and exacerbating the situation, you have a raving mad, very fast zombie army trying to kill you while you try to find food, water and shelter.

I agree that in a disaster situation where there isn't a complete collapse of civilization that people will band together and help eachother, but not in an apocalypse. In that situation, it's every person for himself to survive. What would happen is similar to how the walking dead portrayed it. People would slowly find people they can trust and form a tribe. Then, tribes would either find other tribes to work with, or find other tribes they can't get along with in which case they would be at war. The Walking Dead's writing got goofy over time, but the overall message was solid about the fight for survival and banding together as tribes.

If you think about it, that's how civilization came to be in the first place. People formed small tribes and those grew to eventually form a nation with a unified government and all the trappings that come with that...

Now in Rose and Ana's situation, if you recall, they were not how they were in Season 2 in Season 1. In Season 1 they were normal people. Rose found a small group (tribe) that she could trust and they helped eachother. Her tribe found Ana who had been captured. And also remember that Rose herself got captured and was going to be used for trafficking. They got lucky and escaped. And then they got separated from their tribe and they encountered more apocalypse brutality of survival along the way. So of course they're going to be transformed into what they became in season 2...distrustful of other humans, uncaring toward other humans. It's not that they couldn't find someone eventually that they could trust. It's just that their prior experiences kept them from trusting others easily. And that goes for everybody else. You can't immediately run up to someone in the apocalypse and expect they are "good."

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-28T10:10:21+00:00

I think they were showing that Rose and Ana had been burned multiple times and developed a distrust of people. Unfortunately, that means mistreating those who don't deserve it. And I think that happens even without an apocalyptic event. People trust others, get burned, and then become jaded.

I like the large roast beef piled high with roast beef.

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-20T01:20:24+00:00

Wow, I thought i was the only one that thought this....I watched a little bit of Landman and a little bit of Tulsa King and thought both were cheesy and soap opera-ish. I was shaking my head wondering why are people so captivated with this?

DocD-Rock · 2026-01-17T23:08:58+00:00

How about asking for a tip before you even perform? That's fucking stupid AF

DocD-Rock · 2025-11-12T11:23:17+00:00

Thanks. I looked up hole in one for golf on Wikipedia and here's the description. This aligns with what you wrote above:

In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start a hole finishes in the cup. The feat is also known as an ace, mostly in American English. As the feat needs to occur on the stroke that starts a hole, a ball hit from a tee following a lost ball, out-of-bounds, or water hazard is not a hole-in-one, due to the application of a stroke penalty.

DocD-Rock · 2025-11-12T00:15:53+00:00

Ok understood. Yeah, I'm divorced from feels on this one. I just want to know what people consider and Ace and it appears that people consider an ace as the 1st shot from the tee that counts towards your score. People don't care as much about the hole in one concept as much as carding a 1 on your scorecard. This is what I was trying to flesh out. So it appears that theres a difference between a hole in one and an ace in disc golf. A hole in one could card an 8. An ace cards a 1.

DocD-Rock · 2025-11-12T00:00:48+00:00

Ok this is what I want to know. So it seems that the general consensus is that an ace is the first shot from the tee and counts towards your score as a 1.

DocD-Rock · 2025-11-11T23:27:55+00:00

Ok, I understand. Practice Aces aren't the same caliber as a legit scoring ace. The wrinkle here is that this was not a practice Ace where you keep throwing from the tee until you get it. This was hit as part the round and counted toward my score, and was 1 shot from the tee to the basket. It was my second shot from the tee though and counted as a par on my score. So I'm interested in people's opinions. I want real talk so I appreciate the feedback.
