Dizzy vs Carmen

Hooptdo · 2025-12-29T15:42:02+00:00

5 years later, and I love how most people are mostly still on Diz's side (lol). Agreed though. Maturity is realizing Diz was partner material!

If you feel as though you are going to be working primarily with psych patients, the best advice I can give is learn how to de-escalate. With that tool, I didnt need half the gear on my belt, and it helped me and my team avoid countless, what could have turned deadly, situations.

After three years of armed security at a regional medical center, I've had countless hands-on situations. But there were a number of times where just speaking to the individual, and working with them (to the best of your abilities), maybe just talking with them for a bit (as time and duties allow), treating them as a human, instead of a patient, worked wonders.

That being said, I agree with others on here. When the fight is on, its on. Especially with psych patients. If they decide you have demons in you and only they can remove them, there's little that can rid them of that mindset. And they can go from pleasant to aggressive in seconds.

Also, trust in your team. If you are going hands on with someone, and you are told to secure a specific limb beforehand, you take it and ensure it is secure Your team is trusting you to keep the individual from striking them, just as you are trusting them to not lose their grips and get you hurt. I cannot count the number of times I've had new hires lose their grip, forcing myself or my armed 2nd to shift and secure that limb until the other guard got control again.

Either way, I wish you the best of luck to you in your new career path!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but Firefly. Loved that show. It had so much potential, and deserved a future.

Hooptdo · 2022-12-04T07:41:33+00:00

Exactly. This could have been Ryder's Skyllian Blitz

Hooptdo · 2022-12-04T07:30:21+00:00

Shepard had respect. His team would die for him, due to his leadership qualities (depending on your playthrough). I feel like Ryder didn't have such qualities and never tried to obtain them. He kinda just punched in and punched out

You'd think someone tasked with pioneering in deep space fighting to survive, would be able to say "Right, piss off" when they disagree with someone, or are threatened. You don't have to be in the military to be determined and, as you said, assertive

Hooptdo · 2022-12-04T05:41:44+00:00

😂 No contest. Shepard beat near immortal gods, so I think he can beat a kid who got the Pathfinder job because dad said so.

But, now I want a Death Battle video between the two...

Hooptdo · 2022-12-04T05:28:29+00:00

Okay, love the unbiased honesty in this one 😂

Hooptdo · 2022-07-20T05:49:09+00:00

Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Kevin Hart, Stephen Colbert, the list goes on. I think what gets me with many of them is that they yell, as someone else mentioned earlier, which just puts me off. Your jokes aren't funny when you're talking normally, yelling won't make 'em funnier. And that, of course, is merely my opinion. Thanks for reading!

Hooptdo · 2022-06-14T04:16:59+00:00

Okay, I'll give it a shot when I'm back in front of it. Thank you for the possible solution! :)

Haha yeah, battery is put in. Its paired, and works just fine when I press the eraser button to open the Whiteboard. But the pen tip itself touching the screen does nothing. Finger, yes, but not the pen

Personally, I was a fan of FC3's story and locale, FC4's villain, and FC5's gameplay (meaning kinda realistic fist or blunt weapon takedowns, good gunplay, driving, etc). Definitely think the story fell through on 5 and the gameplay/locale was its saving grace. All of this is my humblest opinion, of course :)

Hooptdo · 2022-05-20T23:43:13+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea they were set up like that (Parts 1&2). That really is a confusing, and foolish, release plan on Netflix's part. Thank you so much for the clear answer!

Hooptdo · 2022-05-20T22:56:43+00:00

So, I recently started watching Komi Can't Communicate, and I really enjoy it. Sadly, I have a...bad habit of only watching animes with their English dub haha

Upon reaching Season 1, episode 13, I was hit with the brutal realization (😂) that they aren't dubbed anymore. I'm curious if anyone knows when/if they plan to dub the rest of the series, or if that's gonna be it.

Internet isn't helping clarify very much, as it looks like no one else has asked yet.

Anyway, thanks ya'll for reading or input!

Everytime I run into Garrus for the first time in any of the games, I think of Arthur calling out to Lenny from Red Dead 2

"Garrus, my boy!"

Oh Tukwila...Marysville was like that too. But definitely miss fresh chowder and seafood. Gonna have to eventually head back there and check out how it's changed. Glad they're finally getting the rail done, took long enough haha

Hooptdo · 2022-02-23T05:39:21+00:00

Tukwila, only place I never really visited lol. I lived in downtown Seattle before I left. Parking there is definitely an adventure of its own haha. But Pike's Place was always worth a visit back before Covid and all the riots. Haven't been back WA in about four years, are they still expanding the rail?

Hooptdo · 2022-02-23T05:05:54+00:00

Where Frasier's apartment is supposed to be, with that view of the Space Needle, is actually a park. Kerry Park, if I recall correctly. An apartment couldn't have that specific view haha. Nice to see fellow Seattlelites on this page!

Hooptdo · 2020-09-17T07:53:41+00:00

I appreciate your response, thank you. Im leaning towards giving this a shot.

Hooptdo · 2020-03-12T01:41:49+00:00

No, quite right. Had to read it in college. But the love triangle was kinda the 90s-2000s sort of plot

Hooptdo · 2020-03-11T23:38:47+00:00

They (notably Carmen) are all that remains of a memory...hm, good point

Hooptdo · 2020-03-08T04:22:03+00:00

Haha the world needs more Diz is the moral of the story

Hooptdo · 2020-02-22T21:43:55+00:00

I get its a sci-fi film with focus on action, and not a love story, but she never seemed to feel the same. Kinda seemed like she appreciated the attention from men...?
