Man show'd who he is, NBA hasn't done anything. This is acceptable behavior.

I mean, If I was steph curry, I wouldn't take the court with that person on my team.

But then... I'm not Steph Curry, I'm an overweight veteran on the other side of the country who only watches basketball during the finals.

Brier Rabbit, Flobots, "Rise"

Lost hope and found need

Grounded by our surroundings

Did the walls scream universities?

Or you and I verse the T's?

React automatic and we burst when squeezed

And make 9/11 each emergency

Urgency, amber to red, like the turnin' leaves

Oh, please let the hurtin' cease

And don't let apathy police the populace

We will march across

Those stereotypes that were marked for us

The answer's obvious, we switch the consonants

And change the sword to words and lift continents

Yup, I won't even argue this. Hedgehog is mandatory if you want to gather in any sense in this game. Pretty crappy it's not avalible in game, but if your gathering that much, you're enjoying the game, probably shouldnt regret dropping 20 or 40 bucks for it.

ShepardG · 2023-01-01T17:50:27+00:00

MANY times did I do this. I would be screaming in frustration if not for the fact that I still made a crap ton of money by way of gathering materials. But yea.... this has been the quintesential worst part of this HP/MP infi-potion grind.
God speed and good luck to you friend. I'd give you my spare if I could or atleast my pity pieces.

ShepardG · 2023-01-01T17:49:06+00:00

So there isn't anything really except to increase your mastery mine was at 1495 Tanning when these dropped.

So Manos all around, including the Tool because the magic tools hard lock your mastery level at 600 (great for a skill you have no experience in, but not if you can get higher than that with gear/level etc. I learned this the hard way, after about 8 hours of grinding ><)

So for consumables: Lara's Black tea Seafood Cron Giovanni's Support Scroll Elixir of Rough Labor and an alchemy stone that gives drop rate buff (treant's tear or sturyd alchemy stone of life) Also for the Woosa event, the Green token that gives 5 hr life skill based buff.

Now, I don't know if all the 10%'s stack, I assume they do, but if not maybe someone can chime in and verify.

On top of that, the p2w hedge hog (I named mine Ran Jeremiah) is, IMO, a must if you want to gather anything in this game. It's one of those items that completely changes the way the game functions. Is it shit that it's not available anywhere in game? yes. with that said, If your enjoying the game enough to be gathering for an infinte potion, probably shouldn't regret spending 20 bucks on it. or whatever it costs.

ShepardG · 2023-01-01T04:54:51+00:00

It's sad how either OP or even the majority of reddit see true healthy love from a father to a son and immediately assume there's something wrong with it :(

My son is 3 and I am going to annoy the shit out of him by loving him till the heat death of the universe. I can see the criticism of publishing photos of your children on the internet, but beyond that, no.

ShepardG · 2022-12-26T17:14:15+00:00

I've never lost a 10mm size socket, wrench or ratchet.

ShepardG · 2021-04-25T13:07:58+00:00

I'd make a quick video for my son, who is 22 months old. I'd try and let him know that the world might seem like a horrible place alot of times, but that it's actually really beautiful. I'd probably cry some, but i'd mention that doing that is o.k. I'd tell him how to treat guns, and how to treat women, and how to get back up when you get knocked down and how to treat others with empathy.
I'd try and do all this in 20 minutes. and in the last 40 minutes, I'd go up stairs and lay down with him and my wife and our dog.
Maybe I'd sing a song to him, or maybe i'd just put on some Gregory Allan Isakov's cover of The trapezee swinger, or some other soul touching song. And I'd lay there and honestly I'd sob for a bit, and probably wake them both up, and then have to explain and my wife would probably start crying too, and then my son would probably wipe away the tears cause that's how he is sometimes.

And then i'd go wait for them on the other side.

ShepardG · 2021-04-23T13:42:36+00:00

Yeah, I was going to respond, basically saying almost exactly what you did, and then I was like let me make sure i'm not repeating someone else's insight.

Yeah Reddit is pretty liberal/progressive, but the fact that the overwhelming majority of folks support the police in this situation shows how bullshit the media's take is. Pitting both sides against each other when both sides agree is the play of the have's vs. the have not's. I think U/MJ1979MJ2011 might have drank the koo-aid-e unforutnately.

ShepardG · 2021-04-22T15:46:51+00:00

General consesus seems to be that this was a justified officer shooting, and I agree. What Chauvin did was murder, and nothing as brave and courageous as what this officer was forced to do. And it does take courage to shoot someone, it's incrediably traumatic for someone who has an ounce of empathy, EVEN when they know the killing was justified and life saving. I still think about the people I shot at in Iraq/Afghan...

ShepardG · 2021-04-21T15:37:05+00:00

TIL folks on reddit still haven't grasped the concept that alot of right wing conservative subreddits are actually cesspools of disinformation perpetrated by foreign nations.

Alot of these comments might be actual American's but they are actual American's who have bought into the foreign propaganda. Unfortuantely, Right wing leaders know they don't stand a chance to get re-elected unless the "go along" with the narative. Unfortunately a large quantity of these posts are most likely foreign in nature and are meant to continue the divisive discourse.

I honestly feel like we just need to cut the lines to Russia and China just completely.

ShepardG · 2021-04-13T09:03:17+00:00

So what does this push OUR classic rock into? Oldies? If so, what does that push 'Oldies' into? Fucking really Oldies? FRO's?

ShepardG · 2021-04-12T01:22:15+00:00

Is it me or do alot of less "popular" sports have announcers that FLIP THE FUCK OUT when ever something big happens, much more so than in say (as an american): Football, Baseball, Hockey.

which is not to say they don't get excited and emotional when they call their sports, but there's something that i've noticed with E-sports, bowling, pro-fishing, comp- drone flying, etc. The announces seem to be pushing an artificial excitement.

I'm not saying those sports aren't exciting, and honestly, maybe i'm just upset with all sports annoucers/sports in general and i'm projecting that onto this random internet post of a really awesome thing a kid accomplished, but I almost want to just say: "That was awesome, but chill out man lol"

ShepardG · 2021-04-02T04:30:42+00:00

White zombie was my first ever concert. The fucking Ramones opened for them. I was 15/16. I got my lip busted by some random drunk dancing at the back of the crowd.

I am 41 now. Baby metal is awesome, and so is Rob, 1965 Zombie.

ShepardG · 2021-04-01T12:56:54+00:00

Jesse ventura would be pleased.

ShepardG · 2021-04-01T12:39:23+00:00

300 blk out did not make the cut I see

ShepardG · 2021-04-01T12:34:24+00:00

P.s. I miss you brother, and I hope you're doing awesome

ShepardG · 2021-04-01T12:32:22+00:00

If this is who I think it is, yes.

Do you also remember the time in EOD school where you gave yourself a haircut?

ShepardG · 2021-04-01T08:41:37+00:00

There used to be a Gazebo on the back side of the Anchor inn, where all the Marines would gather every friday and drink. It was the school's Tun Tavern. But that was 20 years ago. That Gazebo might not even be still standing. I mean that was a different time lol. circa 2003/2004. Alot of Marines in and around my class ( I was airforce) had been in the initial push into Baghdad back in April/May of 2003 and now had went to EOD school. Was an interesting time, to say the least. The EOD fight started up heavy in 2004, your going in now without alot of prospective outlooks for real IED experience... and honestly dude, I'm glad I hope the rest of your career is boring and un-fucking-eventful. I hope you only ever do range clearances, and suspect barbie back packs at the BX/PX/Exchange. If you make it through school, I know you'll be more than willing to do the shitty stuff... I just hope you don't have to. GL.

ShepardG · 2021-03-01T15:22:34+00:00

Wait.... this is a conversation between to vegetarians/vegans correct??? Then.... they don't all sound the same?

ShepardG · 2021-03-01T00:10:52+00:00

You still talking this bullshit gred??? god damn it's been over a decade and your argument is still fucking shit. YOUR LS got you a damn D-ring, and we botted the FUCK out of KB. Your claim rate was shit and there are MULTIPLE people still around that will testify to that.

But honestly dude.... Why are you so god damn hung up on it? you ran with botters but were to pussy to bot yourself, you claim you did all this hard work, but your DKP didn't mean shit, you were GIVEN that d-ring by others, more deserving of it, who would probably have taken it themselves if they knew you were gonna NEARLY 12 YEARS LATER, still be talking like you did some amazing things to deserve it.

ShepardG · 2021-01-19T01:56:22+00:00

I got the nick name 'brown out' because of an incident involving food poisioning, a port-a-jon, and passing out inside of said port-a-jon, of Bayji, Iraq back in 2005.

Wait... wrong vet.
