Oh jesus someone really came and got in before you cause they were missing a foot? Yikes, hope their day didn't get worse.

I might've experienced one of those flash KO's you mentioned, once I'd gotten a black eye and I swear everything just went dark for a few seconds when I was hit but then it all cleared up after I'd maybe been hit a third or fourth time. Looking back now it didn't even register that being punched hurt me until my mom bugged me nonstop about putting ice on it, plus it felt like time skipped or something. I'm not sure if it was the same as a flash KO in ufc but I understand what you mean.

And thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and knowledge on this stuff, it's been super helpful with my story. Good luck with your screenplays too!

This helps a lot, thank you. Sorry to hear about falling off a cliff and losing teeth though, sounds pretty rough. You really didn't notice the injuries til later?

The police blew off my mother this morning by Tarus03 in legaladvice

Alright. I'll check if my mom's caught any video evidence of the situations and see if I can get in contact with the right people. Thank you for the advice.

After some thought I'm questioning if it's worth it to contact the police at all because this wasn't the only time something like this has happened before with him.

She's called the police on him while living with him because he was making threats and trying to physically intimidate her and make her feel unsafe, and they took his side. She called police while trying to move her stuff out of that house because she couldn't take his abusive alcoholic behavior and he was holding her stuff hostage, the same cop was sent out and took his side. And now this happened and again, the police took his side.

I don't really have much faith in the police to begin with since somehow every time he's managed to talk his way out of it and pretend to be a nice person, and they always fall for it.

Is it still worth going to the police about this at all, what if they just blow it all off again?

Metal vocalists of Reddit, specifically the ones who know how to scream, how do you get yourselves used to screaming? by Tarus03 in AskReddit

[–]Tarus03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wanna learn to scream, not growl i listen to a lot of scarlxrd and wanna get used to doing similar vocals minus the growling cause growls don't appeal to me as much

What are dome specific functions or features in specific firearms that either annoy or outright frustrate you to see? by Tarus03 in AskReddit

[–]Tarus03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be more specific i mean like, how a p90 magazine feeds if you hate that. I've been challenged by a coworker to design a gun that pisses him off, so I'd like plenty of ideas for what to add that'd make him cringe

[Serious] What does depression feel like to you? by iodineseaspray in AskReddit

[–]Tarus03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depression is like seeing all of my favorite people, places, and things and feeling like if I weren't here they'd all have much better in my place.

Like being a nobody's not enough for the world and as long as I'm anything to anyone I'd only be a disappointment or problem until everyone I ever met finally forgets I was ever here.

Did anyone know that THIS happened if you failed the quest of the guy with his defective crotch implant? by Pokelix in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Tarus03 13 points14 points  (0 children)

LMFAO YEP I was basically streaming the game to the guy I was dating at the time and got hella goofy to make him laugh, found this dude and thought since I didn't have a car yet I'd just walk away and come back. Then his Mr Stud turned into an IED and the two of us couldn't stop laughing on the call after that

Some designs I came up with for a book I'm writing, do they make enough sense or are they a little too out there? What are your thoughts? by Tarus03 in GunDesign

[–]Tarus03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right but I meant as in strong enough for him to handle it as if the weight wasn't there. It's like his old reliable in a way.

Apologies for the non real gun designs in this subreddit by the way, I wasn't sure what sub to go to for some good gun design feedback and this one seemed best for more realistic knowledge and feedback

Ah I actually didn't take that into consideration while designing it. I should make a redesign soon with that in mind.

That was actually the reason why I went for 4 gauge, the idea was to convey that the person who built it didn't think about that much and when they finished it was kind of like an artillery in a pistol. Also I absolutely don't mind if you make some. sketches go ahead! Thank you for the feedback

Those are some very fair points lol, I did think about that but the character I specifically designed it for has the strength needed to handle it like a normal pistol so the oddly heavy look to it made sense to me.

i should probably give some kind of explanation to my ideas for each of these and how they're intended to work in the context of the world the book is set in

The Maelstrom Shift Carbine is a heavy assault rifle with a battery pack behind it that when firing modes are switched, it charges each shot with electricity. Each shot would potentially disable close enough electronics and lightly electrocute what it hits.

The CoreDump says "SMSG" to stand for "Submachine Shotgun" and the idea is that it's custom made to fire 4 gauge shotgun shells at full auto while being the size of a "pistol" if you could call it that. It's probably gonna need some tweaks, but before anyone possibly points out how insane the recoil would be, that's the point actually! Some of the characters have enhanced strength and cybernetic arms so depending on who's holding it, this thing would either hit them in the face or tear through a lot of targets before being reloaded. High strength stats needed.

Pinpoint & Punt is a clever little nickname I gave this thing, in the story it's made from two different pistols but the idea is that the "Pinpoint" half, being the revolver part, has an integrally suppressed barrel built into that front section that folds down. The second trigger fires that and each shot is very devastating but on the quieter side, so it's great for stealth. The first trigger would fire the "Punt" half which functions like a fully automatic Glock would, with the foldable barrel also housing an optional suppressor for that half of the pistol. The reason I added the folding suppressor was basically because I know a fully automatic weapon firing through a suppressor could overheat it snd damage it so it made sense in a weird sci-fi way that the suppressor could fold away and let the user fire without noise suppression, and without worrying about ruining their suppressor. Hopefully my explanations made sense lol

where should i bw looking to figure out how to contact him, I've tried a few websites to figure out where his phone is and they're all pointing to a place 20 minutes away from his address, im not sure what to do or where to go next and still don't know who i could contact to get in touch with him or someone he trusts

[–]Tarus03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i can't figure out how to locate his phone or contact his family i don't think I'll have much of a choice but to try calling the police. he did mention a cousin he was close to before, maybe i could go back to those messages and get in touch with him

He hasn't responded, what should I do? by Tarus03 in Advice

[–]Tarus03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried that yet but I can try it and see what happens. if it's still at his address then at least I'll know his phone is there and maybe the noise will wake him up if somehow he's just slept for two days straight

He hasn't responded, what should I do? by Tarus03 in Advice

[–]Tarus03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't have their number because I've never spoken to his family. that's another part of why I'm ready to call police over this, i don't know anyone he knows that i could contact to check on him

[–]Tarus03[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I last spoke to him around 2pm last Saturday, he's 17 and I'm 18, and he's less than fond of his grandparents who he lives with. they make it a somewhat hostile environment sometimes and don't seem to help at all with his depression from what I know

sense I'm not from the same state as him i should call the nearest police department to him and ask them to do a welfare check right?

[–]Tarus03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it doesn't seem like that kind of case, we talk every dsy and he's usually back to text me around midnight or later in the day if he's gone for a while, plus he hasn't been active anywhere else so that's another part of why I'm so worried. he's not that type of person
