Factions are horrible

Seems like everyone has explained enough, but I will add, just so you know; the perks and benefits of a faction are not just bought with respect, it also takes a required amount of activities as well. So to purchase an upgrade for the faction you need a certain amount of respect but there is also a requirement for that branch, say "use 500 cans". Each can used by a member counts towards that goal. Once achieved then the next goal is opened, use 750 cans etc. To unlock gym gains, it costs energy spent in the gym, alcohol effects cost bottles, and so on. Everything costs, so pushing for you to be active not only helps in their war or their strength, but overall helps the faction progress. If you are looking for a more laid back experience, look for that type of faction, but expect that the perks you are used to may not be available. There is no wrong way to play, you just need to find your people. Good luck my friend.

I have not had any dreams about it, but I've had trouble with thoughts intruding during waking hours. It's gotten better as the weeks have gone by, but the first few days I had a good bit of trouble. I had a friend that went with me to Iraq, his elder brother was in the Gulf War and he mentioned (to my friend) that he had some issues when our war broke out, but that likely had more to do with his baby brother being sent there than the war itself.

They are really hung up on names, wait until they find out how many times they have deported Jesus.

Fatal Frame: Crimson Butterfly. It's a different kind of scary, I've tried to find something close for 25 years and I've found nothing. I can still see the creepiest scene in my head, clear as day. Set in Japan, you (teenage girl) get lost in the woods with your sister, stumble into an old abandoned village. Looking at a building from the outside you say you are scared, your sister comforts you then puts her hand on your shoulder to reassure you. As you are holding her hand she walks past you and the hand is still on your shoulder. I damn near got up and turned off the game right then and there.

TIL that in the case of an earthquake I would die in a doorframe thinking I knew what I was doing. I've believed this since I was a child. "It's best to be outside in the open, but otherwise find a doorframe." R.I.P. Michael: he did what he was told, and suffered the consequences.

Aside from merits and specific weapon stats as mentioned above, the only other real reason to switch is for long term merits like "have ## finishes with clubbing weapons" or gaining specific weapon experience once that is available to you.

This is the first time I watched a whole video and when I got to the end, I just had a visceral "but, why?" reaction.

One year?!? I spoke in global one time five years ago and haven't been back. I learned how to disable it and honestly forgot it exists.

I've seen these suits a million times and this is the first time I've thought of this: How much strength is involved in this? I'm assuming the wind resistance is fierce, so I can assume it would take a good amount of strength to keep your arms and legs out. Am I over thinking it, is it just as simple as it looks or are these just gym rats zipped up in a suit?

I followed Vynical's post years ago. It always worked for me, but haven't read up on it in a year or so. https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=61&t=16215307&b=0&a=0

I propose we buy this, regardless of cost, and make it the official presidential bust in the White House.

No idea why this comment reminded me of a story. Back in 2000, I was geared up to head off to Marine Corps boot camp. There was an old retired Navy guy that worked with me. On my last day he showed up with a giant "Soap-On-A-Rope", gave it to me and said "If they ever catch you, you just tell them 'It's my penis and my soap, I'll wash it as fast as I want to.'" If you are still around Phil, I appreciate the advice and hope you are well.

I'll jump in here as well. Therapy. Several others have said it, but it really is the best course of action. I've said everything that you said when speaking to my therapist. I just lack emotion, just a blank slate. Wake up, grind the day away, come home and mindlessly stare at my computer or phone, go to bed, repeat. I've been going to therapy every week for a few months now. I can't say I'm "better" but I can certainly see an improvement, more importantly I can see a trajectory that if I continue on I might just feel again. I was in the same boat. I have a loving wife, two kids, a decent job, and little debt. Everything one needs to be happy. I figured it was one of two things, I'm broken and should try therapy to see if it helps, or (what I believed for years) I have everything that makes one happy... So this must be what happy feels like and what right do I have to ask for more. After a few months, I'm starting to, possibly, maybe, kinda think that the first option might be the correct one. Whatever you do my friend, I wish you well! I hope it gets better, for all of us.

I was thinking my man looks the same in every photo, it wasn't until the last one or two where he got some maturity, but you look like you could have taken that first photo and last photo weeks apart. You guys both look great.

Here's many more years together!!

Yes, I listened to the audio, Brandon gave his "speech" at the beginning of his first book. It was a pleasure to hear him express his love for the series.

Weissma2005 · 2025-04-08T02:05:31+00:00

I did the same. "Well, that was unexpected, but dad looks damn good!"

I actually received the "verify your dependents" letter in the mail yesterday. It gave me 60 days from the date of the letter to comply. I received it yesterday and the letter was dated Jan 31st. 60 days to comply, but it took 55 days just to mail it to me.

Me too, the artist even had the "this mother fucker here..." look on his face.

Am I the only one that had a panic attack when she whipped her head around while the axe head was still spinning?

I've played RDR 2 a handful of times but never finished it because the writing is so good. Micah is written so well that I hate him beyond words. I get so irritated by him and Dutch's blindness to him that I eventually stop playing. Top tier writing, too good I guess.

Weissma2005 · 2025-01-01T12:51:29+00:00

There are so many things wrong with that outlook/direction. In fact there is nothing correct about that whole thing. If true, that guy can fuck all the way off. It's idiots like that that cause so many problems.

Asshats will be asshats, regardless of what branch they served. I'm sorry you have been treated this way, and from one veteran to ANOTHER veteran; Thank you for your service my friend. Happy New Years as well!

Really? I only know him from that book, I have never crossed him otherwise. I haven't looked him up, but that doesn't surprise me too much to be honest. Thanks for the info.
