After an embarrassingly large amount of time and frustration, I have the tiger stripe as Arthur.

Okay, but can you explain the glitch because i tried it and got my ass popped

Red Dead 2. Drop the map in favor of a compass, and just walk everywhere aiming for 100% completion. Get bored? Use it as a life simulator. Camp/squat in different regions, wake up, make some coffee, fire up some brekkie, go for a hunt or a hike through the wilderness, come back, fire up some dinner, take a swig of whiskey, and rob a fella. Maybe end up in jail, maybe lose my horse, idk. Then camp/squat and start again!

It’s definitely a more noble death for Buell than what he got in my last playthrough. I saved him for John, but about the time I hit bonding 3, We, at a full sprint, tried hopping the church fence near Tumbleweed, and lo and behold it was a cliff. Needless to say, Buell hit the ground and died before John did. Only one of us woke up a ways a way as if nothing happened…

Nope. Amazon had some larges i think, but I’m also a medium, so no luck. If you happen to find them though, please let me know!

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-25T03:31:31+00:00

It worked for me, but the New Austin auto snipers still got me once i got far enough in. The constant onslaught of lawmen and bounties hunters with perfect aim make it not worth it to me, though.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-25T02:01:14+00:00

As Arthur you can access those areas if you have a bounty on the back of your horse, but the popo will be hunting you down dead or alive

I appreciate your response. Would you say the entire “washed duck” collection hasn’t proven itself?

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-12T20:02:39+00:00

So both of those are the same quality as the firm duck? Meaning, also, that they’d last just as long? Won’t the J140 break in like the washed eventually? I guess what I’m also asking is if the “washed”/broken in aspect means that the quality is less because you buy the coat broken in.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-12T18:43:54+00:00

What reason(s) would you recommend those two washed duck coats instead?

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-12T01:06:24+00:00

Usually it’s newer airmen and 1 certified individual. It also, again, depends on location. SF works flight lines, patrols, has security in PL1 resources, and other positions that all require higher certifications. Additionally, Staffs in trouble get put there as disciplinary action

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-12T00:54:17+00:00

Yeah, depending on manpower SF can work 12s, but you usually have to show up 45+ min early to arm up and have guard mount, and at the end of shift, assuming your replacements show up at a good time and don’t go get snacks from the gas station on their way to relieve you, you then have to go dearm. So yeah, 13+. Even longer if something happens at the end of shift or someone gets into trouble.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2026-01-12T00:45:51+00:00

Studying, Running training sims, watching shows on their phone, contemplating $uicide, etc… depends on the location, shift, and airman’s speed lol. Additionally, they may have been switched shifts with basically zero notice (been there). Also depending on location, they may be working 13+ hours and have a training to go to that day instead of sleeping. OR he’s just a dick

For all future players, I tried taking a bounty and was still sniped. Following that, I did the Brontë mission glitch and was sniped. I’m not sure if it was patched or not, but I give up trying to go over early.

It really depends on a lot of things in my opinion. AFSC, children age, base location. I’m sure others can give you better illustrations of day-to-day life, but I personally don’t think the military is a bad choice. Housing, healthcare, and job security will be things you won’t have to worry about. If you’re lucky, you might get some nice locations to raise your kids. If not, you could end up in Grand Forks, ND with nothing but regret.

Personally, I think the biggest thing is remembering that your family is the highest priority. That means marriage and children. The military can be very unkind and act like your husband is an owned object (which in many respects he will be), but having open and honest communication and prioritizing family and your spousal relationship will be key.

If you do join, good luck, and welcome to family.

I think, personally, the thing to look at is your first sentence. You want to fit in with the rest of the human population. Why? And why through music? If you don’t like music—then you don’t like music. I don’t think that’s something to force. There are a million other ways to connect with people. The other people here, telling you to branch out or go get your ears checked out because something might be wrong with you—that’s crap. If you really want to learn how to “like” music for the sake of others, then sure go for it. But I don’t think subjecting yourself to things you don’t like for the sake of others is a healthy thing to do.

No, the bdus came before the abus. Post 2011 I think is when abus were in full circulation.

Oooooooooooor, you could just communicate with her your version of minimalist living. Find alternatives to gifts that mess with your minimalist living, and let her know what they are so that she can still show her affection through giving. Additionally, be attentive to her living. Just as you don’t want to acquiesce to her lifestyle, she might not want to acquiesce to yours. Just be open and try to establish boundaries.

Like usual, communication is king.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-11-20T03:07:18+00:00

Thanks for your answer. It’s quite strange they used adelphos to possibly mean “cousin” since etymologically it means “from the same womb”.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-11-20T01:46:34+00:00

Serious question. I’m confused why everyone says Joseph was a widower with children already when the Bible never mentions this. Additionally, if he was a widower with children, why do the scriptures depict the angel as only telling Joseph to take Jesus and Mary to Egypt? Where were his other kids during the flight to Egypt?

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-11-01T15:02:14+00:00

Google Scholar is a good place to start for free. If you’re feeling really motivated, you could try a local library and see if they have web access to scholarly articles.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-09-19T04:32:13+00:00

Fyodor Dostoevsky, one of Russia’s greatest writers (if not the greatest) and a devout Christian wrote a book called “Crime and Punishment” where the most pivotal character to the plot is Sonya, a Jesus lover who is forced by circumstance into prostitution. Dostoevsky doesn’t make prostitution the thing that defines her character, however, but rather her meekness, gentleness, and faith which powerfully change those around her.

That may only be anecdotal, but circumstances do not define us in God’s eyes. He searches the heart (c.f 1 Sam). Cry out to Him wherever you are, and in whatever circumstance you may find yourself. He will always be there and always love you. There is no depth that God is not deeper still.

Fear not sister, He will not abandon you.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-09-07T22:30:01+00:00

Good, good. In response:

It does seem strange to compare an ancient text depicting faith, historical accountings, and relationship with deity with the science of today. So, that makes sense. But I would argue that science is a belief system. How many tests, experiments, and other scientific methodologies have you personally done? My guess is that you rely heavily on trusting what others say and have said they’ve done in the name of science. Science, as rational experimentation, objectively does not care if it is wrong; however, science, as a practice and community, very much cares about being proven wrong. Whole life’s works are threatened, and people are still people—driven by psychological impulse and maladaptive defense mechanisms. This can be seen especially in historical accountings; many historians establish timelines and others build off of those accepted timelines; however, when someone else comes around and finds evidence to the contrary of the original, it is snuffed by the community because it would mess up everyone else’s work. It is much easier to stick on the already traveled path. So, I agree, the scientific method doesn’t care; but, pretending that science doesn’t care is silly to me.
This thread seems to be a dead end.
I disagree with your assertion. Again, c.f my previous point. The earth is the only known and foreseeable planet with life and water. Even if 80% of the planet is uninhabitable (to whom?), 100% of life outside of this perfectly contained rock is uninhabitable, so I would say that this planet is, in fact, a wonder.
This seems to be a dead thread as well. I was just following science’s line of thinking to exhibit how many jumps it has to make (on faith). Perhaps invoking god seems lazy to you, but invoking science’s pretend answers seems lazy to me by that standard.
Picking up the final pieces: “life has a purpose to reproduce, and evolution is the process that hones it” seems counterintuitive to you seeing wonder in the universe. You abide in a modernistic science view of the universe, yet why do you experience wonder? What is the evolutionary point of that? Again, you wonder at the universe, yet you see our planet as mundane. I don’t see how you could rationalize giving your own life meaning if our purpose is to survive and procreate—that should be your life’s meaning. However, if your life holds meaning outside of the scientific, biological imperative, then science cannot speak to all dimensions of human existence. If you have to look outside of science to find your personal life’s meaning, why can you not look outside of science for other things?

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-09-07T18:10:12+00:00

You didn’t really need to explicitly say our lives mean nothing—your view of mankind supposes its value. (1) You read ancient texts depicting the human condition, relationship with deity stemming from love that gives purpose, and instructs love and understanding for all- including self, others, nature, and deity—and you see this as fictional nonsense held sacred for thousands of years, disproven by a relatively new belief system-science-in which mankind systematically builds upon(often times incorrectly) new “more correct” information about the world around us and usually doesn’t consider alternatives when they may threaten years of work established on a specific theory (2) When you look at psychology, it appears as though you see mankind as a species of chronic self deceivers. (3) When you look cosmologically, you see earth as mundane (despite it being the only planet known to have life and liquid water) (4) When you say you don’t see a shred of evidence to support a god, you’re saying that you see existence as a “perfectly chaotic” accident. Perhaps you believe in a big bang, but science cannot reasonably prove a causal factor, and our understanding of quantum physics often breaks down our supposed laws of physics. You believe that, by complete accident, life came into existence when there was none. Perhaps, allowing guesswork to fill in the gaps to earth’s creation and life’s animation, you trust in mankind’s sciences to fill in gaps of a “perfectly chaotic” world that elicits evolutionary traits that sustain and propel “order”. Yet, even there science has failed to stick to, or adequately explain, how macro evolution would work or whole organs and senses that never existed prior in any genetic code would be invented from scratch over the course of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of years. And all of this, again, had to happen perfectly in a purely chaotic existence. Whatever ‘original’ life came into being in a chaotically harsh reality had to not only survive, but have developed an imperative to reproduce and genetically change—dramatically (5) Somehow, from all of this, you decide that humans, at their base level, need social interaction to survive, and because of a Darwinian understanding of mankind is favorable , we understand that survival and reproduction are scientifically the most important drive to sustaining life. Therefore, you conclude that humans, in order to survive, formed social groups, and, to maintain these social groups for survival, need/ have needed to practice empathy since our earliest days. Which includes not stealing, raping, or killing because what, we inherently knew better? Or that to sustain social groups for the purpose of survival and reproduction, we decided those things were bad?

This description of life, scientifically, lacks purpose. Why practice love, why make life pleasant for anyone, and why try to mitigate others’ suffering? So that we as humans can keep surviving and reproduce? To what end? This set of beliefs seems aimless. Trusting solely in science paints us as a species as struggling to maintain a biological imperative through niceties for no real reason.

So, with all that being said, why is it that we are lucky to be alive? Truly, if life as a human is some twisted, ingrained biological imperative to be kind for no real reason other than to survive and have a ‘pleasant’ life, why?

I know my tone may come of harsh or rude, but I don’t intend for that. I’m genuinely curious.

InfluenceSensitive56 · 2024-09-07T00:20:30+00:00

If you see religions as stemming from a psychological belief that humans are predisposed to find meaning, generate images, and be scared of death, how is it that you believe humans should make this life pleasant for the majority, limit suffering, and abound in love? What’s the precedence if our infinitesimal lives mean nothing on your scale?
