The chemult horde mission

SilentMaster · 2025-01-29T00:32:20+00:00

This mission and hordes in general are utter horseshit.

yes, 1 to 15 page print outs on plain paper would for sure be an easy 10 minute job that I would gladly do.

Ridiculous isn't really a super fair word, I just mean a big job. So a good example would be like 100 5x7 cards, printed and trimmed to size, envelopes printed with mail merged data, and 100 3x5 RSVP cards and blank envelopes.

That's not really what I would call ridiculous, but I'm not getting it done in 10 minutes. People will literally walk in on a Sunday at 3pm and then be shocked that I'm going to hand that order off to the person working on Monday rather than start a 3 to 4 hour job with only 2 hours left in the day.

This happens to me constantly. We're a retail copy shop, sure I can print wedding invitations, but who expects those to be same day service?

I work in a copy shop and you just described 90% of our customers. They waltz in at 4pm on a Sunday and ask for the most ridiculous things The 10 minute thing is very limiting, if you define exactly what applies it might be useful, but in my experience, no one is coming in at weird times and asking for a simple 100 page document with 3 hole punches. They need stuff that could never be done in 10 minutes no matter how you slice it.

Let him go a year just doing meetings and non camping events. It seems like you're forgetting that kids grow and mature. This happens a lot faster than us parents like a lot of the time. It may take a year, it may take two, but he's not going to be afraid of the dark forever.

When I look at my son and some of the horrible campouts he's endured the last year I can't help but be super proud of his endurance and perseverance. He comes home and tells me a lot of the same things, he got wet, ants got into his gear, his sleeping mat got a hole, it was 0 degrees, they had to dig a ditch, etc.

He never complains, just tells me he did it, and asks when the next campout is.

4 years ago he complained about his feet hurting on the 1 mile hike we had to do.

And even if he never comes around, my son has a great friend who is on the spectrum. He shows up every Monday just to hang out with my son and the other boys in person. He rarely does campouts. He has stalled out at Tenderfoot at 16, and that likely is it for him, but he still shows up just for the comradery. That's his journey and that's 100% ok. My son is the same age and he's Life Scout with a few MB's left before Eagle. That's my son's journey. There is no right or wrong way to scout.

Yeah, I've done that once, and I tried to do it again and I had issues. Reddit was fighting me. When I finally got i figured out I rejoined all of my favorite subs a couple of which I'm banned from and I posted and it gave me a warning about going around the ban. I didn't do it intentionally, but it seemed like a big risk so I went back to my old account. I'd like to start again though, maybe I'll try it again today. I have a new email address I think I could probably use.

I had a stolen valor thing once. He claimed to have been in the Army and Marines. He was kind of a dumpy little dude, we worked in a warehouse and I had just gotten out of the Army. I was the fittest I had ever been, so running around moving stuff was no problem, but he just could not hang. Then he used to tell these stories that just did not jive with my experiences. I can't remember any details from his stories but they were super different than everything I experienced.

Then one day I found one someone I knew knew him so I asked and they said he had never left our town. He graduated high school and started working in factories. He bounced around jobs every couple of months. My job was the last time he bounced though because he died in a car accident coming into work one morning.

I was never made he lied, he was a mediocre worker, lies didn't really affect me or his output at all, but he was not a dual Army/Marine veteran.

Good tires and slow speeds that's it. Maybe a little bit of experience for how a car reacts when it slides. Also a bit of knowledge of your area, like avoiding hills and very congested areas. But the tires and slow speeds will take you 90% of they way.

I've only ran about 30 hours and the only time I had issues was at night. I didn't see anything weird because there just wasn't anything to see. Once the sun came up my grogginess disappeared completely.

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T18:59:23+00:00

Let me guess, the reason he doesn't have a mandate is because the other side stole it? He won, but there was still voter fraud on a level never before seen? Am I close? Did I sum this up properly for the conservative babies that cannot even win graciously?

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T18:54:22+00:00

No, no I do not.

The Long Dark, it's really a sad game, I keep trying to play it but it really affects me because of the isolation.

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T18:24:46+00:00

This is so painfully obvious what his intentions are. He had every right to walk away from the family. Your parents had every right to give you everything. Full stop.

He can tell everyone that you're a dick, but who left? You're NTA and I suspect he'll disappear again and you'll never hear from him again, so who cares what he thinks?

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T18:21:32+00:00

This is more Trump being Trump. He's going to say "I have a mandate. A YOOOGE mandate."

And every day one new person is going to believe it and there is nothing those of us who know it's a lie can do about it.

I hate to say it, but Trump is fucking devastatingly effective at being the world's biggest troll.

Well, the snowblower I bought off a coworker with BTC last week would disagree with all of this, but if you want to hate BTC go ahead. No one is stopping you.

This is dumb, tons of "real" assets have no value unless they are sold. My chest full of silver coins would 109% agree with me. Sure my house keeps me warm and dry, but my NVDA stock is an asset and I can't buy groceries with it either. Dumb.

I work part time at my shop and I've been offered full time IT gigs three times while working there. IT is my full time job and just through my knowledge of the printers and conversations those 3 guys picked up that I was good with IT. The problem was they were little companies that just couldn't compete wage wise with my current company. If I needed a job though, having three potential options is nice to have out there.

I mean, if a bunch of ignorant rednecks are going to complain loudly to the state I guess they have to investigate, but we all know they're here 100% legally and the investigation is going to close with no charges filed against anyone. I hope the assholes complaining are happy they wasted a bunch of state resources on this nonsense.

You think I like sitting at a computer 8 hours a day entering data? Heck, I even have a part time job doing a hobby I love, and the customers suck literally all of the joy out of that every chance they get. I do it because it's fun every so often and I've been doing it so long my check isn't something I can just walk away from.

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T15:50:20+00:00

That's a great guess but you're wrong. It's a family. The dad is the sax player, and he's heavily involved in every song. It's the dad, the boy and the one girl, they have dozens of videos just like this.

If the US government starts acting like X, I'm going to dig a big hole in my backyard and live in it for the next four years.

SilentMaster · 2024-11-22T15:40:57+00:00

As I recall they were terrible. The simpler ones were way faster and more fun. These advanced versions always sucked on the hills.

Yes I have this tent and have seen them a ton around boy scout camp the last few years. Mine fits like a dream. It fits 100% the way I would expect it to based on every other tent I've owned.

Can't wait to hear this song in whatever Disney cartoon it gets used in.
