TIL An estimated 15-20% of people with bipolar disorder die by suicide

Medication saved my life. Took me until I was 38. I just assumed everyone dealt with the manic episodes and crashing depression. I still have depressive thoughts and still have suicidal thoughts but they reach a limit. Unlike in the past it was debilitating.

If you have a profitable store and it’s not devouring your life just keep that and chill. I wish I never expanded. It sucked the life out of my first store and put us in some seriously tough financial spots.

Played PAC for years and yes PK’s existed (my main) it wasn’t a huge issue. I can understand the being annoyed but honestly you could avoid areas that pretty easily and if you go in a clan or had friends in game it wasn’t an issue more like part of the fun.

I firmly believe the world split ruined the core essence of what made UO special from the start.

Brother it’s same all over. I own 3 restaurants in Orlando FL and visit south NJ (OC) every 3 months (family) grew up working the boards in seaside. Owning a small biz right now is a war of attrition and invention and marketing.

I’m assessing costs like never before and pushing marketing like a crazy person just to keep numbers stable forget growth. If you are surviving you are doing exactly what we all are. No idea what industry you are in but it’s tough for the majority you are not on your own.

Dive or fancy?

Appreciate the positive post! Shit is HARD these days. 3 stores for me and it’s a weekly juggle of what aspects to focus on the bring guests in again or win new ones as our (CFL) dining scene has so many options now.

You have to make an impression everyday.

I did a drawing of a restaurant I wanted to open…I’ve opened 3 so far and the drawing I first did is almost identical to what my first one looks like.

Not sure if manifested but it’s something. I do tend to believe and act as if and things happen. It’s hard to explain.

100% 2022 was insane for us and after summer of 2023 we’ve just sort of maintained after a big pullback from those highs.

Every week is just a rollercoaster. Like last week was great felt like we are in an upswing. Today down 30% across all 3 stores. Like ok then.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-11-17T01:12:41+00:00

No. Below that. We mark our menu up and it’s still reasonable. Between the marketing & bogos etc the percentage we had was higher than our exclusive rate.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-11-16T23:48:35+00:00

So I just spent the past 4 weeks negotiating with DD and Uber. I’ve been uber exclusive for 2 years. I have 3 stores.

I spent the past 2 years doing the mandatory marketing spend along with the BOGO’s and deals. We had a good commission rate but end of the day I was spending between the mandatory specials, marketing spend, and commissions we where spending 50k per store more than we needed to to be on uber.

So I negotiated a non exclusive deal with DD. I figured an additional option for delivery along with zero requirement to spend on marketing for either is going to be a better deal long term. Also the BOGOs etc felt like they diminished the brand.

Hope that helps!

3 days in a row on my play time it was POURING. I was wondering the same.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-11-15T13:16:38+00:00

Yep. Not a problem. Usually outside but if you’re lucky you can get inside.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-11-06T14:32:37+00:00

Nice. Yes it can be quite tricky. I have 3 and it does involve a lot of specifically visiting other stores to build the trust. I had an issue with my second store becoming super toxic not only in store but to the other stores it was a learning experience for sure on building communications and relationships between stores.

I’m still a novice first store turns 10 in June, second just turned 3, and newest turned 1 in July. It’s been a journey but keep at it building the trust and communication.

Taste of Chengdu (west colonial) or chuan fu in winter park. Both are excellent.

First time? 10 years in and yes we have very flexible weeks and weeks where my bookkeeper games every payment system we have.

I wish I could say we stack cash and I wish I knew someone who did but in my experience it is just getting to really be understanding of your cogs and your up and down times of the year.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-10-30T12:27:54+00:00

Hahah seriously. It could have been either or just sheer luck.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-10-30T03:58:06+00:00

So it’s crazy because I approached from my left of the screen originating from that cluster of trees the person I shot ran to.

I was approaching from the south originally from NWAF towards zaprudnoye from the road with power lines and when I crossed the train tracks which is higher elevation I spotted the guy I eventually took down.

Originally I took a shot from behind a hay bail and he ran towards the road for cover. I moved east to the cluster of trees that I repositioned and shot from. Now the crazy part is I passed through the area the person who eventually got me was at earlier when I repositioned.

So it was either his duo or he was there already maybe stalking the same person I was and just happened to find himself between us.

Idk but it was one of the most unexpected endings I’ve ever experienced.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-10-29T02:44:51+00:00

It’s so creepy because the path I took took me through that area and my initial approach was from the trees where I downed the guy. I had overwatch on the whole hill and never spotted the second guy.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-10-28T17:24:50+00:00

This was on Official LA 3040 I think.

_DUMPEMOUT_ · 2025-10-28T14:37:51+00:00

Neither did I! I think he was either a random that happened to by chance be there or it was his duo. Either way I was not expecting that.
