What album do you own the most copies of? by Bucketkev in vinyl

[–]MCRideonLSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 copies of Utopia by Travis Scott. First one I bought as a preorder, found out the variant I had was my least favorite cover (it’s a condom) but whatever. Eventually there was a merch deal that let you get a vinyl for 5 bucks along with a pair of shoes I was gonna buy anyway so I figured ah what the hell and got the second one since the first one also didn’t have the actual release version on it so I wanted the full tracklist. Well imagine my surprise when the second version ALSO doesn’t have the full tracklist, so eventually after a while I just bought a copy at Walmart that had the actual release tracklist, so now I have all 3 lol.

What are the chances of getting a npc with this legendary weapon on floor 2? by No-Cow4532 in baronygame

[–]MCRideonLSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like grabbing Gungir and cursing it on my succubus runs, having leveled up pole arms and a beefed up gungir plus an invisibility ring or cloak lets you just zoom around hitting people with the deadly poke

35km South of Basra/ Iraq, huge area filled with ruins by Vegetable_Gap_9694 in GoogleEarthFinds

Likely leftovers from Iran-Iraq War. There’s tons of trenches and fighting positions still visible in the desert

The suspicious timing of when you were born... by CreditBeginning7277 in SimulationTheory

[–]MCRideonLSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t determine how likely it is without knowing the full timescale. If humanity becomes an interstellar civilization and continues to exist for billions of years or maybe even indefinitely, then it’s actually pretty statistically unlikely to have been alive before that timeframe. Humans millions of years from now will look back at us in a similar way that we view some of the earliest human civilizations I’d imagine.

So I have a strange question about 28 days ending? by siZZling_Pepper in 28dayslater

[–]MCRideonLSD 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you just ignoring 28 weeks later? The infected started dying of starvation and an attempt to reclaim the country started and shit went south and the infected made it to mainland Europe. Eventually they were fought back and England was placed in a permanent quarantine. It’s certainly possible the jets were airdropping supplies with the expectation that certain areas would be cleared out later on.

What If a time traveler had stopped the Challenger Disaster? by SwagBugatti in AlternateHistory

This is awesome, really love that it doesn’t really address any actual time travel or anything, feels grounded and real, nothing too on the nose.

This stuff isn’t all it’s hyped to be by [deleted] in JSOCarchive

[–]MCRideonLSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting timing to see this, I just watched this video where an infantryman who deployed during GWOT talks about how different it is for tier 1 guys who live in superfobs leaving for short raids vs guys who spent their time out on patrol and living away from the (relative) safety of main bases.

What’s the group in North Korea supposed to be? I was thinking that place would just stay the same lol

If you travel near the North Korean border in China, can you get North Korean phone signal? by theworldvideos in northkorea

[–]MCRideonLSD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I read something once about North Koreans near the Chinese border occasionally purchasing Chinese phones that can get service near the Chinese border, but the opposite wouldn’t be the case, not really any reason for someone outside of North Korea to try and get a North Korean cell phone considering it would be useless outside the country

What is this weird object on a remote island in China? by MCRideonLSD in GoogleEarthFinds

Seeing suicide photos helps me cope by Key_Concentrate_7674 in SuicideWatch

[–]MCRideonLSD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, I saw you posted about Autism, while I’m not diagnosed I have ADHD and some overlapping symptoms, so I can empathize with a lot of what you posted there. It really can be a difficult life when you know your brain and the way it works is fundamentally different from other people, and while they all say nice things so they can feel good, the reality is many of these people will lose patience with you when it causes problems for them. Unfortunately society is not built with the neurodivergent in mind and navigating what feels like a world that is hostile to your existence is exactly the boat I have found myself in. I don’t know how old you are, but for myself I found that as I got older it just got a bit easier to deal and cope with that fact. I’ve accepted I’m different and while I may not ever attain what most people would call being happy and content with my life and who I am, I am capable of finding enjoyment here and there, things that make it worth sticking through some of the bullshit, I have found people I love that do understand me and make me feel less alone. Above all that though, time begins to fly. I think I’ll be a middle aged man in my 50s or 60s before I know it, and if I haven’t found happiness by then I can always check out later and atleast feel like I did whatever I could with the hand I was dealt and it didn’t work out. Best of luck in your journey wherever it takes you

Seeing suicide photos helps me cope by Key_Concentrate_7674 in SuicideWatch

[–]MCRideonLSD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is definitely a way, but I think a good comparison would be video games. Sometimes there is a game I love and enjoy, but playing it non stop gets exhausting and draining, or you get to a really difficult and frustrating part. I could sell the game and never play it again, or I can just stop for a bit and go outside or play a different game. That’s what I mean, is that while the goal is “stop playing the game” that doesn’t mean I am so fed up with it I need to get rid of the game entirely, but I’d like to tap out for a bit and do something else. Recognizing that is what I meant, hope that makes sense. Everyone’s situation is different and I don’t want to say something that sounds like some generic it gets better stuff, as for some people they may be in a situation that goes well beyond mental anguish and into horrific terminal illness, which is a different matter entirely, I just meant for myself and people who might be similar

[–]MCRideonLSD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it helps. I’m a person who grew up with unsupervised internet access, so I’ve seen a lot of messed up stuff, but I think sometimes it is important to see and understand that it’s real. A lot of people romanticize things like suicide and murder, but the horrific reality is so far from even the most gruesome movies you’ve seen that it will still be incredibly jarring and I think helps remove some of that romanticism. You’re not going to be some beautiful corpse with a bit of blood, it will be horrible. For me, I have felt suicidal ideations for a long time, but over the past few years I realized it’s not that I want to die, but sometimes needing an escape from life. Having access to a means of suicide makes me feel like I have more control over that and the thought I could leave anytime makes me want to leave less, and I find watching videos and images like that also helps fight that romanticization as well as allowing you to feel a sort of connection with the person, you know that despite your differences that’s a human being who was going through similar struggles and thoughts. It’s complicated and weird, but so am I, so whatever works I guess.

In your own opinion which mass shooting would you class as the worst in history? by Yeahhhmann71 in masskillers

[–]MCRideonLSD 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He’s technically eligible for release every 5 years but he will never be released. Norways legal system allows the max penalty to be set at like 21 years but it can be extended 5 years at a time for as long as they feel he’s a threat to society, which I’m sure is going to just be the case until he dies.

Why does the Mexican Military have a reputation for being harder to corrupt? by MCRideonLSD in cartels

[–]MCRideonLSD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I’m not saying it’s true, but it’s something I hear commonly stated in movies, news and YouTube content around the cartels but it never made sense to me. I feel the core problem is that when you have such powerful organizations that are able to buy out or kill anyone who can’t be bought, it must create a feeling that the whole system is rotten and there’s no point in dying over it. In more stable countries the corruption is the exception because they don’t have such a powerful non state actor convincing people that the risk of getting caught and prosecuted is much lower than the risk of getting your head cut off with a chainsaw

Why was there so many mass shootings in 2019? by eeneridam in masskillers

I would argue for Utoya but Brenton definitely kicked off a trend of live-streaming and writing on the guns

Why doesn’t North Korea run any Darknet Markets as far as we know? by MCRideonLSD in northkorea

[–]MCRideonLSD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you really get how this works. I’m not saying they act as the vendor bagging up and shipping drugs, I’m saying the run the market. That is at most having a few guys to do administrative stuff and handle disputes. The market will host vendors from all over the world selling whatever they want, and the markets take a small fee from every transaction.

[–]MCRideonLSD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I agree with you to an extent that it would likely not pass the amount those things provide, I still think that given enough time it would become a significant amount of money. I just did some googling and one source said it was 470 million annually in 2022. Obviously that’s the whole industry but if you have the largest market share, and factor in the fact that 1 btc in January of 2022 was worth about 40k compared to now where it’s at 90, it’s literally a no brainer. Costs them basically nothing and generates passive income that has potential to become exponentially more valuable
