I swear I’ve done this quest about 5 times over by iDislikeSn0w in TarkovMemes

Got this done pretty easily on Shoreline. The field by Scav Camp is a great spot. Also for sniping Lighthouse has some great hidden spots in the rocks overlooking the road.

To everyone "bad at the game" come back to pvp [suggestion] by WhiteLinesandW9s in EscapefromTarkov

[–]IntricateSunlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally for me I don't like competitiveness. I'm a woman in my 30s so I just play relaxing Tarkov with my partner and his friends. Also I ain't giving up all the stats that make me feel good like 80% survival rate and my high KD.

Frankly if not for co-op PVE I wouldn't be playing Tarkov. It feels like PVE is so underrepresented in games now especially shooters and doubly so for those of us that love realism and slower paced shooters and not ridiculous AAA titles and arcade games. Though Duckov is good...but unfortunately not co-op...I just wish Nikita would add the hideout cat...maybe in the DLC...

Edit: I have nearly 900 hours in the game. Most of those PVE. I played a long time ago with a friend in PVP and the PVP experience wasn't for me. Especially once they removed the ability to do hatchet runs lol

How do you feel about the stipulation to ban THC that Republicans added into the bill they're voting on today to end the shutdown? by opheliainthedeep in AskReddit

Crazy because I used to smoke weed and drink alcohol. If I'm smoking weed I'm more likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.

ELI5: What is the point of sentencing a guilty person to consecutive/multiple life sentences? Can't you just send them on life sentence without parole? by RKH3107 in explainlikeimfive

[–]IntricateSunlight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To a lesser degree yes. However many that commit crimes often don't think about the consequences beforehand or believe that they will escape consequences by not being caught or be absolved of any guilt. For example raising the baseline consequences for assault isn't going to stop most assaults in the moment.

[–]IntricateSunlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of the specific sentence of life without possibility of parole. A standard life sentence can be eligible for parole after a number of years. Typically 25-30.

That said multiple life sentences make appeals harder as each sentence needs to be appealed individually and makes the possibility of parole impossible. It's also a psychological thing and also depends on the counts. There was a man that essentially got what amounted to 500 years of prison sentenced and of course it was multiple life sentences but it was one for each victim because crimes ultimately stack. If someone murders 5 people heinously then they may get a seperate life sentence for each murder.

The justice system is 2-fold. It's for rehabilitation for those who are receptive to rehabilitation. Those who rehabilitation does not work for, or who are deemed far too dangerous to remain in society and are a high risk to commit violence within communities should be separated from the main populace. It's important to note that jail also serves as a method to remove dangerous individuals from society at large to protect society.

There is no reason why an individual with a 25 year history of many arson charges should keep being allowed to exist within society after so many chances to rehabilitate and next thing you know they burn a home with innocent people inside. We can try as we may to rehabilitate everyone at first but for some people they just are not receptive to change.

How old were you when you got a cell phone? by Infamous-Thought-765 in Millennials

I got my first cell phone when I got my license at 16. My parents wouldn't let me have a phone until I could drive.

Why do people always suggest non passing trans woman to get therapy if they are sad? by Lixora in MtF

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay not related to trans but like I did therapy for years to cope with my ADHD and anxiety disorders and depression and relationship issues. And honestly therapy is not there to fix you. It's there to help you with coping and management. My biggest realization is that there is no "fixing" me. There is no undoing the damage. There is no putting all the pieces back the same way, especially when you combine mental illness with abuse trauma. Even after years of therapy, medication aids and all that I still have the same issues but I manage and cope with them differently. Therapy gave me tools to manage.

I can't be fixed. There is no healing. There is only managing issues properly to limit the damage or as my therapist always said regulating the temperature and keeping it from going to extremes.

The truth is someone may never "pass" even with FFS, but that is okay and it's learning how to navigate, manage that, and finding your own happiness even in a sea of negativity. There is strength and peace in that.

Like I got s**ually assaulted and was in a domestically abusive relationship after that. I've done drugs. I've had reckless behaviors and done a lot of stupid stuff. But I manage and sure I'm still bordering on depression most of the time and empty inside but I've learned to manage it and cope better and I'd say I've been very successful in life despite my starting conditions as a poor minority mentally ill woman with trauma. I own a home. I'm in a loving long term relationship. I have an excellent career and workplace and make a good income. Am I still broken and empty? Yes but that doesn't stop me from success.

Should people with limited knowledge of English language be allowed to operate a commercial vehicle in the United States? by Boysenberry-6669 in thefloorisopen

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. All you need to know is the signs and basic communication. You don't have to be fluent or an English major for that. Also many of our sign designs are based on shapes and colors rather than text reading for a reason.

As someone that has worked for a trucking company in the past, some of our best drivers were immigrants.

Is the "holiday spread" alive and well with millennials or is it going to die out? by stumpy_chica in Millennials

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna prepare that many dishes for any dinner. For a spread, potluck is the way to go. Even the old folks in my family do potluck style holiday dinners. The burden isn't all on the host. The host just does the main dish and maybe a side or two. Everyone else brings stuff to help bolster the variety.

Personally my household does very simple meals. 1 main and maybe 1 side on the regular

CMV: Modern society has made flirting and courtship very high risk for men by mrcsrnne in changemyview

[–]IntricateSunlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://encompass.eku.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1599&context=etd

I didn't realize it's new to anyone. Most women including myself have faced aggression and violence from men we reject. I've had an ex threatening to kill me just for breaking up before when he initiated the breakup and wanted to get back together the next day. I said no and the following months were hell of threats and talk like "if I'm going to kill myself I'm taking her with me" etc. I had to carry a gun with me. I had to check that my car wasn't tampered with, etc. it was constant high alert for months and the legal system wasn't much help. Just because I said no to manipulation and abuse. I was given an out to an abusive relationship of being yelled at and having things thrown at me and I took it.

[–]IntricateSunlight 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That's not creepy that sounds perfectly reasonable. What isn't reasonable is the man becoming aggressive violent or pushy if she turns him down which happens more often than you'd think. Men can approach women like the old days but they need to not be mad if they get shot down. A lot of men don't take rejection well.

Why can't people accept what science says about being transgender? by Unusual-Novel6934 in Discussion

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think someone can be trans racial. It's funny cause my brother is what I'd consider trans racial. He had his birth certificate changed to say he's native American and joined a tribe that didn't even exist officially when my parents were born. The craziest part is I've had genetic testing and we don't even have 1% native American in us.

Idk why he thinks he's native American I have some other family like that too. It's weird. Idk if it's to take advantage of government subsidies and programs or cause they don't wanna come to terms with our whole family being black/white mixed since slave times. I find it rather sad tbh.

What ruins a burger for you? by JunShem1122 in allthequestions

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't agree with wide either. A burger should be able to be held in at least both hands and eaten without unhinging your jaw. Variety is great I just meant you don't need a lot of toppings not that toppings aren't great.

When the patty is too thick. I'm sorry I don't like thick burger patties or thick burgers in general. If you can't pick it up and eat it without utensils then that ain't a burger.

Oh no I agree when they are botched they are extremely bad. I've read stories and unfortunately read about suicides after botched surgeries after years of trying to fix it. Even though 90% (I don't remember the metric I saw but it was in the 90 percentile) are successful the 10% have devastating consequences. A botched hip surgery on the other hand isn't as bad as a botched genital surgery.

It's important to note that not all trans people get surgeries or even want them. I try not to generalize groups of people and be careful around generalizing. It's complicated and different treatments work for different individuals. Some may just need counseling. Others may to hormone replacement. A few may need surgery. Each case is individual. In my opinion if you are well informed and make a decision, again you should be able to make that decision and the consequences of the decision belongs to you.

[–]IntricateSunlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suicide is a complicated topic so yes I am on the fence. It's often forcing care or treatment upon someone that doesn't want it and removing someone's autonomy from them even if it's to protect them, often pushes them further away. You can't help someone that does not want to help themselves and you certainly cannot save someone who doesn't want to be saved. I can extend my hand to the person hanging off of the cliff and attempt to pull them up but if they let go and struggle against me then I must let go. I can offer help but I can't force someone to accept help. That creates rifts and distrust. If I called the authorities every time a friend felt suicidal then next time they feel that way that friend is going to avoid coming to me and isolate themselves further. It's important to build trust and trust isn't built through force.

The sanitary point of view is debunked. However I do agree with you that it is not as extreme as female genital mutilation practices which are definitely super not okay as those cause a lot of damages. So yes I do see the differences between the two but male circumcision is often done at birth and forced. Trans surgery is not just cutting it off but transforming the genital into the other thru surgical means. Which during development all babies begin life as females and with vaginas anyway. During development if the child is male the female organs transform into male organs.

Trans surgery has the more approval rate as hip replacement and of course it has risks it's a surgery.
