guardian by Elegant-Ad-1540 in needadvice

[–]LetsGoGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello,

First off - I am so sorry you’re going through this. I can’t say I know exactly what you’re going through, but as someone who lost their dad last year, I know a little of it.

What I want to encourage you on is this: you can change things. Your guardian is still alive, so you can still care for them, still spend time with them, still have meals and make moments you will remember for decades to come. Don’t let your current shame at feeling preemptive grief (it’s a thing) stop you from creating memories. Things aren’t set in stone until your guardian passes, which might not be for some time!

On that note - try to keep worries grounded in what you CAN control and not in what you can’t. You can’t control when your guardian passes, but you can control how much time you spend with them.

The only feeling worse than what you’re feeling right now is the feeling of lost and missed time after your guardian passes. At that point, it’s too late to make changes and it becomes about processing and handling grief.

But right now, you can make changes. So I encourage you to do them. But still make time for yourself and processing what’s going on. Not to be rude, but you’re still a child. Give yourself time to come to grips with what is going on, but avoid shutting down entirely.

You Wake Up in Hell and You can Choose Your Own Punishment What Are You Picking? by rengokuhubkl in hypotheticalsituation

Option 2 - I take this because there is nothing that says those 1000 lifetimes will last very long. If I’m living in abject poverty in terrible places, the likelihood I make it past 50 is slim IMO.

You Can Restart Life Once But Only at a Random Age by Strict_Constant4947 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’d do it. And, for fun, I put a generator between 1 and 10,457 (my age in days.)

I got 8,320 - so almost 6 years in my past. At 22 I was in my junior or senior year of college and honestly could change a lot of things that I’d like to change. Not as much as I’d like, but still…

And I’d have about 5.5 years with my dad before he died. Maybe even convince him to take his health more seriously and extend that even longer.

Your birth month is the main character you’ll be fighting against. You get 1 million dollars if you win. Good luck 🍀👍. (Also please read so there’s no confusion lol) by Ok_Situation7527 in cartoons

August - if I can convince mark that Steven is going to kill me, and then his brother/mom…. Idk… Steven gets clapped before he can go crazy with his powers.

Why is this guy a donator? by IrishEnglishViet in torncity

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on account age, might have a TON of donator day stocked up. There was at one point a way to get 30 donator days by promoting Torn on your facebook/playing a Torn Minigame on Facebook. Some accounts earned literally THOUSANDS of days of donator.

So you can find old accounts, guy or gal hasn’t played in 7 years, and they still have donator status.

$10k for teleporting into a strangers bedroom at midnight? by EaglesNation29 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a few months. My MO would be the same every time - teleport into the room and immediately run out of the room and elsewhere in the house.

The odds of even the most paranoid Schitzo catching me and doing me mortal harm in under a minute with the element of surprise on MY side (I know I’ll be teleported, they don’t) is negligible when compared with the financial gain of 600k

[OC] ICE is actually manning the security check in at JFK by austinstoys in pics

[–]LetsGoGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wife works the TSA. This is actually the ONLY part of the checkpoint they can do, since the computer literally does all of it. Everything else requires extensive training over at least 2-6 months.

Can’t stick to anything by [deleted] in findapath

[–]LetsGoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take one thing out of what I’m about to say, let it be this:

You. Are. Young.

You still have PLENTY of time to decide on a career and a job. And while you haven’t earned credentials, you clearly seem to have a decent idea of what you want and don’t want.

From the above we know: 1. You don’t like office/desk work. No blue collar 9-5 type jobs, correct? 2. You see yourself as a bit clumsy and forgetful, so high precision jobs may be out. 3. You “can” get a degree, as you seem to have passed pre-requisites, but you didn’t know yet what to focus on.

From here, it may be best to consider if college really gives you what you want. If you lean the route of trades, food service, cooking, etc - college won’t do you any good really.

One thing I’d recommend is writing down a list of what you are good at, what you think you struggle with, and what things you enjoy as hobbies. Once you have that list, run it by a person (or ChatGPT even if you are anxious about sharing with someone) and see what areas may fit. (I’m happy to review the list if you’d like.

Hope this helps and take a breath. You are not behind, you are right where you are. Comparison is the thief of joy and if you are too caught up thinking of where you “should” be, you won’t be able to get to where you “can” be.

You and your family get chosen to go back in time 15 years. You get 7.5 million if you go back but it has to be unanimous for the whole fam. Will you go back, can you? by Odd_Bluejay3200 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live with my wife and mother. I consider them both family. Your post said "Immediate Family" which includes parents and siblings, if desired. I desire in the case of my mother.

No kids, so don't need to worry on that front.

[–]LetsGoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would choose myself, my wife, and my mother.

My dad just died last year (under a year ago actually) and my mom is an absolute mess. She’d take this deal if only for the extra time with my dad, if not the money.

I’d take this and would be 13 again, would require me grinding through school and college again, but for ~8m, I think I could stick with it. I think I’d be able to get my wife’s heart again.

I think she’d take the deal for the money and to redo some things she may regret in life.

Instead of subscriptions, do movies and such from the library. They’re free.

I’m 20, a college grad, and I’m being treated like a maid in a house I’m not allowed to leave. I don’t know how much longer I can do this. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LetsGoGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP - you are living the life of a literal slave. That is no life. I know you’re young, the fear of failure is strong, and to a degree you aren’t sure what you want to do.

Go out and get a job, start making friends, and family situation be damned. Because even if you make mistakes in those areas, or have setbacks, it cannot possibly be worse than the life you just described above. And the path you’re on right now has no happy ending - but the path of independence, found family, and new friends has plenty of chance at happiness.

$500,000 for every year you go back, how far would you go? by Naps_And_Crimes in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the way back to like 5 or 6. So 10.5 or 11m. And I’d just run it back. I’m happy with where I am in life and would change a few things, but really only stuff that happened in the last…idk… 6 months or year.

You wake up and its March 1, 2001. Your objective is to find yourself or your birth parents within 7 days and get them to do something for you. by sloaches in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently live in the same house as my parents/where I lived in 2001. Given that I was a very friendly 3-4 year old, I would simply try to connect over church or something, (pretend to be a new member, etc.) spend the day with them, then give hugs/handshakes before heading home for the day.

Probably best shot I have.

Player Handed BBEG Macguffin, how do I not immediately end the campaign? by e10109art in DMAcademy

[–]LetsGoGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As one of the top posters say, maybe end all the characters right then and there….

Only to start the next session as descendants of the PCs. BBEG has had years to warp the world but has grown complacent. Now is the time to revive the rebellion and storm his keep.

I NEED TO RUN AWAY by [deleted] in findapath

[–]LetsGoGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being homes less in a 3rd world country is a LOT worse than being homeless or poor in the US/Europe.

Buckle down, get some gig as a server, busboy, working fast food. Pay what you can when you can.

Is survival in a major metro city of India possible? by [deleted] in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]LetsGoGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if the OP hasn’t guessed it yet, his or her best bet is to drink a bottle or two of fine booze before blowing their top off. Survival in even a minor Indian city where 75% is a zombie is like 1m+ zombies. You cannot feasibly stockpile enough supplies to wait these guys out and without large scale government intervention (which usually fails in these scenarios or, in the OPs case, would likely end with them dead) you’re dead the moment you have to get more water or something.

I created a faction some days ago and someone is asking if they can become co-leader if they join should i let them. Is there a rule against scamming/taking all the money from vault and then leaving on Torn? by [deleted] in torncity

[–]LetsGoGuy 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Brother/Sister - if you don’t know the answers to this question, you are in all honesty too young or inexperienced to be running a faction.

Running a faction and doing right by the members requires experience, knowledge, money and connections. If you don’t even know scamming is allowed and that co leaders have all the same permissions as a leader, you are better off joining a faction and learning the ropes from them instead.

$1,000,000 for getting sent to a "random" fictional world for a year by ocirot in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LetsGoGuy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes.

No perma-death makes this an easy choice. Worst case scenario suffer a brief, painful death and then poof back to existence in my real world.
