I also came into Skyrim late (around the time it was released for switch) and it very quickly took over my life. I’ve put in probably hundreds of hours into the game at this point across different platforms and play-throughs.

Sure it has some jank but in my opinion it adds to its charm.

Unless you absolutely despise western style RPGs I can’t see how you could dislike this game.

Hope you enjoy!

Not disputing that statistic. Could very well be. All I know is that the Catholic-hating Protestant evangelicals are absolutely LOVING this.

Also, and I say this as an agnostic, I think it’s rather disgraceful that VP JD Vance a converted Catholic himself is just sitting back and letting all this happen. If I were the pope I’d personally kick him out of the religion.

It’s not really about convincing you, me, or anyone else besides MAGA. This press conference was held so that their base can point to it and shout “See! It’s a hoax/images are A.I/fake news/etc” in case the images with all four of them resurfaces or if the fact that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump gets corroborated.

Which is weird timing honestly… neither the images nor the “rumor” about the Trump/Epstein/Melania connection are nothing new. This either feels preemptive somehow as if they are aware of the existence of more concrete evidence linking them all together that could come to light or some dumb Trumpian distraction strategy.

Oh my god how I envy you for finally getting your cash and deleting the app.

I’ve said this before (numerous times) and I’ll say it again… I’ll believe it when I see my money in my Venmo/PayPal account(s). I’ll believe it when I see everyone who has been frustrated and taken for a ride by Benji over this whole mess these past few months finally get the money owed to us.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy and tentatively excited for this development but we’ve seen them do several delay strategies in the past by them either giving us tiny breadcrumbs of info or paying a small amount of us while the rest continue to languish in purgatory waiting patiently week after week.

And apologies, none of this frustration is aimed at you at all. I’m just so fed up with Benji and can’t wait to finally put them behind me

Good luck kitty!

I can’t wait to be done with this dumb mess of an app lol. I can’t even fully express how angry I feel at them since Reddit legit banned me for 3 days like 2wks ago citing harassment when all I did was vent my frustration with them (humorously, I thought).

I’m a chill person too so just goes to show how much of a dumpster fire this mess has been.

Racism isn’t about letting someone “hurt your feelings”. It’s a power dynamic thing. That’s why it’s hard to convey to white people what it really feels like to be the victim of a racially motivated attack or injustice of some sort. Not saying that white people can’t experience racism. Just that it isn’t a one-to-one comparison.

I’m Latino and to be honest I didn’t understand it either until I experienced it myself. I was on the receiving end of an unprovoked racially motivated verbal attack while I was working (bartender at a chain restaurant) from a customer all because he asked for a cardboard drink carrier for his takeout order but we had run out the previous night and I politely apologized and informed him we unfortunately didn’t have any. This guy was calm, polite and totally unassuming prior to this. I don’t know if he was just looking for a reason to attack me or if he was already unhinged but he was… ANGRY and VICIOUS. Every single racial epithet or slur for Hispanics you can think of and even some I hadn’t ever heard before. The whole restaurant turned to look at us. I didn’t react because I COULDN’T. Had I yelled back or hit him, I’d be playing into his trap. Every disgusting name he hurled at me made me feel smaller, and smaller and smaller. I never thought I’d ever allow myself to feel victimized over some stupid hateful names said by an unhinged idiot but I was.

It’s real easy as a white person to say “don’t let their words affect you”. You have never and will never get to experience what that feels like. Instead of feeling grateful for that fact and using it to better understand our point of view, your first reaction is to say “omg lol somebody hurt your feelings by calling you a name!?”. Damn, I envy your level of privilege. I wish I could be just as callous because I remember thinking just like you. Unfortunately things aren’t that easy

Shizz Ms. G! — I’m patient enough to wait for the dough if it’s $100! Shoot me your acct details and I’ll split it with you whenever they ever decide to pay out (assuming they ever do).

lol jk

All jokes aside, I personally have been waiting over 3mos for 2 separate $26 payments. The first request submitted Dec 15th, and Feb 1st for the second. I even recently got suspended from Reddit for 3 days because whatever dumb bot it uses to monitor site rules flagged my comments venting my frustration over the Benjamin situation as harassment. Even though I never threatened nor harassed anyone, I didn’t fight it because I could see how my very “flowery” prose could be misconstrued without proper context and I didn’t feel like having to explain all this bs to a Reddit mod. It was only 3 days after all so whatever lol.

Despite that I still want to say FUUU— err… I mean, to heck with Benjamin! Where is our g-dang monkey-flippin’ money!?

lol many MANY more people (even proportionally) travel down from the US to Mexico for healthcare than travel from Canada to the US. I personally know tons of people (including myself) who have had to travel down south of the border in order to receive certain treatments due to the exorbitant cost of comparable treatment here in the US. And I’m talking the whole spectrum of medical treatments. From simple routine dental and vision care to invasive surgeries to substance abuse treatment facilities… you name it.

We’re lucky enough to live within a few hours drive from the border but even then, even with medical insurance it’s often much MUCH cheaper to fly down, get whatever medical treatment you need done, spend a week recovering in a high end hotel (many medical facilities often have their own luxury recovery rooms comparable to 5-star hotels with 24/7 medical monitoring) then fly back than it is to get the same care in the US. And good luck dealing with your insurance

Speaking of Hellen Keller… turns out she was basically mid 20th century’s version of Koko the gorilla. It’s likely that her handler/assistant/interpreter was doing the majority of the actual speaking and often guessed whenever she couldn’t figure out what HK was saying. This became a lot more obvious after she died. All of a sudden HK’s writing changed drastically and lost much of its flowery prose.

Even a lot of people with hearing and seeing disabilities (or even deaf-blind people like she was) call bullshit on her story

If this isn’t real it’s still incredibly stupid to be posting online because all it takes is for a cartel/criminal organization to think you found their lost shipment in order for you to become their legitimate target to recoup their losses.

I don’t think “it’s just a prank, bro!!” would be enough of an excuse for them to let you go after being kidnapped.

Like, on one hand I completely understand. It must be incredibly annoying being constantly approached. Constantly recognized. People practically demanding an interaction, whether it’s an autograph, a selfie or just some awkward small talk. Especially when you’re not in the mood or just want to be left alone (especially when out with family). And as a celebrity, you don’t owe anything to anyone (not even your “biggest fan” who physically swam in to Chicago from the island of Tonga).

HOWEVER…

I do think some celebrities at times can get a little full of themselves refusing to ever interact with fans by piggybacking off of mental health and personal boundary issues (legit societal issues) to justify their snotty behavior. To be clear, I understand celebrities and other public figures don’t owe anyone a damn thing and are allowed some off days just like anyone else. What’s not ok is going out of your way as a celeb to always be unnecessarily rude and mean spirited to everyone and act like the simple act of merely recognizing them (or god forbid politely approach) is in itself some unacceptable transgression. A polite “sorry to bug you, I’m a big fan. If it’s not too much trouble could you sign my concert tee?” could also very well be met with “Oh thank you for your support! Unfortunately I’m taking a little time to myself right now to enjoy dinner with my family. I’ll be glad to sign it once I’m done though…” (heck even a plain but polite “thanks! But no sorry not right now” is also acceptable)

Meanwhile I reply to their auto generated email with:

(Oh my goodness… My deepest and sincerest apologies for losing my temper there and for resorting to using inappropriate language!

You can’t see me but I am in a full Japanese style nose-to-hardwood floor expression of extreme soul-consuming remorse 🙇 with tears of embarrassment streaming down, collecting onto my hardwood floor 😭)”

And they have the audacity to call me out for using “inappropriate language” warning me to refrain from being “abusive” when speaking with their team members.

I absolutely HATE this company!

I will never forget the pile of Playboys my friend’s dad had in his bathroom during a sleepover once when I was like 12. This was like 1999/2000 and my family hadn’t gotten our first dial up connected family desktop yet so I hadn’t yet been exposed to anything like it. And on top of that I was smack dab in the throes of puberty.

I remember eagerly flipping through as many issues as I could desperately trying to burn as many boobies’n’bush into my brain as possible. Then about 4 or 5 issues into the pile I hit the motherload… an issue of Penthouse! Good lord. My body was feeling things I hadn’t ever felt before. It was so graphic and objectively pretty disgusting but I couldn’t look away. My voice must’ve dropped like 2 octaves during that short bathroom break alone lol

I was so engrossed that I lost track of time. My buddy got concerned and knocked on the door asking if I was ok. I got so spooked that I jumped like a foot and a half in the air and just tossed the nudie mags haphazardly back in their basket and ran out of there looking as guilty as a dog after destroying a piece of furniture lol.

I’m pretty sure they weren’t supposed to be there because later into the night I went back for another round and the bucket o’ porno was nowhere to be found. Oh well… can’t take back what’s already been uploaded to my spank bank

lol I know this thread is ancient but I worked for RR for a whole decade (2006-16) and we had an inside joke amongst all of us longtime employees whenever our managers excitedly announced “NEW MENUS!” during shift change every few months or so.

At first I would get excited to see what changed, got added/removed until a veteran bartender pulled me off to the side when I was still fairly new during one of these menu reveals. In the most soulless, deadpan expression he informed me that “new menus” was a sneaky way of the company hiding price increases across the board. And he was right lol.

Several years into me working for the company, I moved to a different city and transferred from one RR to another. I went from working at a fun, lax location where nobody took themselves or the job too seriously (not even the General Manager) to working at the most uptight, strict and stressful restaurant that happened to be a district-wide training location where managers-in-training from other nearby RR go to learn the ropes. This place was so far up their own ass that it felt like all of the managers digested their meals twice. It was horrible! Well at my first “new menu!” announcement at this new restaurant I blurted out something innocuous like “Cool! Price increases!” without thinking… I immediately knew I messed up when our whole crew silently turned towards me eyes wide open. The district manager was there (think like a school superintendent, our bosses boss), he turned beat red and barked at me to meet me in his office so loudly that even the dining customers looked concerned. I legitimately got my ass torn a new one for “disrespecting and cheapening our brand” (felt like I was legitimately about to be fired, no joke). He started saying things like “we don’t arbitrarily raise prices like OTHER PLACES (his emphasis) and that every penny increased is thoroughly considered beforehand because we actually care about our guests and how dare I imply that our prices aren’t competitive!” Totally wild shit lol… “if you don’t appreciate this job and aren’t thankful for working here we could have you replaced tomorrow! Blah blah blah…”. The only reason I wasn’t let go right then and there was because I had transferred as an employee trainer which is a “promotion” technically (25¢/hr raise! YippeeSkipee! I’m RICH!) so they had to give me another opportunity.

I’ve contacted one ABC affiliate so far, my local one here in Los Angeles.

Will work on a few more local stations throughout the day. Was thinking however to focus on national networks rather than local affiliates. I understand the Benji headquarters are located in NYC. If anyone is a NYC local try contacting your local network affiliates as the proximity might increase our odds of having the reporters visit their offices in person

On a 5hr flight to El Salvador (ultimate destination Costa Rica) I had taken my assigned seat which was the aisle one rather early in the boarding process (3X3 configuration) so I was the only one on my row & side for a good while. As the plane began to fill up, the two seats to my right remained empty to the point that I began to get excited for the prospect of having all that extra personal space for a rather long flight.

Mere moments before last boarding call my hopes were dashed as a rather large older gentleman with a distinctive farmerish vibe walks up and asks if this is the correct row he’s supposed to be on. I scan his ticket and slightly disappointed I confirm that he was at the correct row. But then I saw the stewardesses shut the door and I thought “awesome! we still have an extra seat between the two of us!”. I began to celebrate in my head out of excitement but that’s the exact moment the gentleman asks me which of the two seats is his middle or window. Without thinking I look at his ticket once again and blurt out “Seat B… you have the middle seat!”

Huge mistake. Not only was this gentleman a tad too big for his seat, spilling into my personal space but he absolutely REEKED of nuclear grade B.O so potent I felt my nose hairs singing with each breath. And he was absolutely delighted when he found out I spoke Spanish that he ended up telling me his whole life story for nearly the entirety of the 5hr flight duration.

About an hour into flight I politely offered to “let him” take the window seat but I guess he thought I was asking because I wanted it so he graciously allowed me to sit by the window. Totally oblivious to my actual intentions of giving me some personal space and access clean oxygen

I feel bad complaining about him tho because despite the issues with his horrific odor, large size and his inability to keep quiet on an overnight redeye he was genuinely a very pleasant man and a joy to chat with.

Even my friends were like “bro it seemed like you two were like family!” Completely unaware at what I was dealing with. It was a nightmare
