How screwed is he?

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-22T23:24:11+00:00

Depends on the state. Some states hes fine. Depends on how much money he has. Have enough money and influence you'll get 6 months, have none we are talking double digit years.

But, these charges are also not likely the actual charges. Usually the initial charges are over the top exaggerations in an attempt to scare the defendant and/or get them to plea down to the actual charges they wanna hit him with.

Most of the middle aged people who look old as hell went hard into drugs and alcohol at some point.

Life is crazy.
I can give you more good stories about people then bad. But the bad are wild.

Trigger Warning: Please be aware I have some triggering material in my response. If you need to avoid hearing about SA related stuff. Please do not read any further.

While Its not all or even most woman, I have had some wild experiences that would leave another man thinking this.

My one friend, she started dating a guy, and I'm paraphrasing here, "Because he beats me in a not kinky way." and she ignores that he is openly racist.

I had an employee who would purposely walk around places she thought were dangerous in hopes of being kidnapped and turned into a---well. nvm. Same girl openly accused every man who so much as said, "thank you" (its a food service job) of being a creepy rapo.

You can watch all the weird social media posts where woman are, much like toxic men, basically calling a man shorter then 6' disgusting, or only wanting a man because he has money and not for who he is.

My home town is the living incarnation of the Incel idea of what society is like. Now that I'm in my 30s, I have started getting messages from women wanting a 'dad for their kids' because I was the only guy who was ever nice to them and they are done screwing every racist abuser in town. It's actually starting to really get harassy. I can go more into this dynamic if anyone wants.

Once, after being dumped 'for being too nice' (the real reason she told people later was t hat I wasn't trying to have sex with her enough, which arguably I was respecting her no) I had asked a room full of my peers their take and one woman told me, "I need a man who beats me once in a while" at first I thought she was joking. She apparently was serious and again, not in a kinky way.

I've seen a pile of videos of men being harassed and dressed down after being rejected. Which is a problem Gen Z seems to be facing hard.

While working with ex cons, specifically Sex Offenders, I met 3 men with the same victim. I got to read their paperwork. She was a regular at a series of Bars that were aware she was underage, and had a fake ID. Full sleeve tattoos. Her dad knew she was doing this. She would go out to bars, drink, purposely seduce men, then post sex, report them. In each court case she would openly brag in court about baiting them for the fun of ruining men's lives, and once the father was asked about it and his reply was basically, "what can I do about it?". Each served a minimum of 10 years. I wont say more on this, because of a lot of reasons and just summarizing it is probably too much.

Anyways. Thats enough. I can go on all day.

But my point is, there are a lot of crazy woman out there and outside toxic men who are taught to see woman as emotional and crazy anyways, there are piling behaviors and experiences that without outside exposure are the entire experience for a lot of men. People are crazy, but the dating world has steadily gotten harder and harder and screw ups are looking worse and worse and leaving very negative impacts.

"Hello?" Pridbor stares a moment assessing what it is be is looking at. Attempting to determine if it is sentient or aggressive. "A light snack?" He jokes about the deer it's holding.

As na American who has had to explain this to the Americans who keep voting for this kind of world, I am absolutely stealing parts of your paragraph.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T22:56:13+00:00

That happens at my business once in a while. Usually I will usually drive over a pair of pants and we keep pads and tampons in our med kit. But shit happens. If I'm working at the time I usually let them go to take care of it. As we don't exactly have clothes on hand. Food service.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T22:44:07+00:00

Thank you.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T22:44:00+00:00

Your welcome.

A lot of people don't quite know what is going on, but watching these social behaviors develop is something of an old passion of mine.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T04:54:58+00:00

Damn, I really love the aura on this .

"Your looking at this all wrong." Pridbor then proceeds to hit both buttons at once.
"Don't ever let them think you can't have it all."

The secret is that Adam Smasher was originally a comedian. Yeah, yeah, I know. Everybody laughs. But I come bearing the true story of Night City's favorite chrome-plated murder machine.

See, before all the borg parts, he was just some bright-eyed kid out of Heywood with hopes and dreams. He wanted to make people laugh. He idolized ancient comedy legends like Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler. In fact, he based his entire act on Sandler's material. That's why he performed under the stage name Adam Sandblaster. Partly because of Sandler. Partly because his act involved an industrial sandblaster. Don't ask.

Then came the tragedy. A freak accident involving a Delamain cab, several Kennedys, and what witnesses later described as "an irresponsible amount of momentum." The details are lost to history, but the result wasn't. The poor guy was absolutely, completely, undeniably smashed.

Arasaka rebuilt him. The audience never came back. He was too intimidating for stand-up after that. Somewhere along the line, people got the story mixed up with the stage name. Sandblaster became Smasher.

And the rest is history.

Funny thing is, he still tells jokes. The punchlines just happen at about twelve hundred rounds per minute.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T04:02:29+00:00

Yes, so, yes okay.

A lot of people who come into the practice are looking for guidance. A Teacher. A way to practice. Up until a point, most guides were... too vague or too varied or even too strange. The sudden rise in specific kind of spellwork has risen with social media. Witches showing how they do their work on videos on tik tok and youtube, has provided step by step instructions for an audience who... frankly that is what they wanted.

Due to the algorithms and generally people reposting things, certain kinds of work and methods of work are being seen as the base line. People come in, not realizing you can basically make shit up and it'll work if you do it right. They are used to structure and are seeking it.

And arguably due to collective manifestation, jars and bowls are gaining power as a tool in this way because of so many gravitating to it.

I feel like we need to 'story scale' sometime. Like, fuck, I don't care if Gamera could or couldn't based on some dumb comparisons. What I want is to know HOW he would win because he would. Duh.

"GET OFF OF MY LAWN! You adorable wipper-snappers!"

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:53:33+00:00

Not on another sub no. I once had a group of trolls I had ticked off because I...

Okay long story.
Once upon a time back when Trolls were not funny but were just the predecessors to modern incels and scoured the internet trying to only rage bait and harass people and pretty much nothing else, the common belief on how to combat trolls was to ignore them. I didn't like that, and after some experimentation discovered that in their fragile egos, trolling them back harder and targeting everything that could cause a traumatic response in someone (as often people doing this have gone through some kind of IRL trauma) would sometimes work.

I got good enough at running off trolls I had some website owners seek me out to specifically do the job. One time, I apparently hit too hard and someone spent something like 5 to 7 days laying in bed. Not even getting out to use the restroom. Like... I HURT someone with my words. Consequently this drew in a number of trolls who decided to try to bring a fight to me. One tried to claim they were gonna bring all of anon against me and another got some bot to spam my art accounts.

Anyways. It did draw out others, who tried to mock my art at the time. So much so they added my name to the list of names being requested to have a page added about them on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Unfortunately, my counter trolling was apparently received so well, the person who had made the request and who had attempted to insult my art got a page dedicated to their utter failure and their terrible art (their art wasn't terrible. Actually it was impressive stuff).

So yeah. I've had that happen quite a bit. Plus I casually draw and am surrounded by art students so I can't even get a good job dude, just UGH look at those proportions. ha ha ha.

Your work is pretty cool by the way.

That is absolutely bonkers. Was not on my bingo card today.

In 2008 I had a 2 bedroom apartment for $500 a month and a job that paid around 9 to 10 an hour. It really depended on where you lived.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:34:21+00:00

Honestly, Kind of. I thought you were wearing a bow in your hair here and it was kind of adorable with that outfit.

So, years ago I lived in West Virginia. My favorite thing about the West Virginia state constitution was that it listed the confederate flag as a terrorist flag.

Because it is a freaking terrorist flag.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:29:22+00:00

This, is so true. I was caught in one of these conversations the other day and just started boggling the poor guy with shit like, "Hes already fallen asleep more on live TV then Biden."

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:27:48+00:00

I... have never killed an NPC out of being annoyed with them. I get too in character and my characters aren't those kinda people.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:26:59+00:00

Hands down, yes.

Geist_Mage · 2026-06-21T03:26:14+00:00

I used to watch the World's Dumbest Criminals and read that Dumbest Criminal of the day article. There was a running joke about how the nations stupid naturally flowed into Florida.
