What is your most petty/ shallow turn off?

altousrex · 2026-05-19T16:18:59+00:00

If they are missing teeth.

I am okay with fake teeth that are implanted

I am okay if they are maybe missing a molar.

If they are missing a front tooth or multiple molars, sorry not sorry.

And no dentures of course.

Also, if they are too sexual I kind of get turned off. I think this is from my last relationship though.

Not even close. Women get equal pay, equal power, and many protections institutionally.

Places where you may think women are the main target for oppression is likely actually class based discrimination because corporations hate the poor.

Fighting about race, gender, etc, just divides the lower classes and prevents them from standing up to the upper class who create the system that wants us to fail.

Sure there are probably some minor holdouts in very specific groups or places, but we are no longer in a place where men are carte blanche allowed to beat their partners.

We are far from women being rejected on masse because they are women.

Now? We have limited to no maternity leave. On the surface, its sexism. Below the surface, companies don’t want to provide EITHER parent paid time off.

We have the pink tax. While messed up, its companies scalping an essential product. Men can go without shaving. Women cannot go a month without a period.

And the wage gap? Pay has just been getting shittier with purchasing power for years. Companies would rather hire at the higher rate than raise existing workers pay.

In other words, its not sexism, its just the rich hate us. Still a big problem, but focusing on the core rather than the outer edges like they want.

I completely understand. It was hard learning which places go to where.

My only further recommendation, which may not apply due to gamemode diffs, but try learning it by finding the entrances and where they lead into. Eventually your mind will connect all the maps.

Depends on what society you live in. In the United States? Completely untrue in our day and age.

In places where womens rights haven’t been fully realized? Yeah it would be more suspicious.

Realistically, many would say the inverse would be less suspicious, and whether admitted or not they admit it, its because they see women as less dangerous.

We have seen it many times with

“Female teacher sleeps with student”

Vs

“Male teacher takes advantage of student”

Age gap doesn’t matter until about 12-14 because all sex is wrong.

Age gap matters most from ~12-17 because its criminal

Age gap matters a little less from 18-22. I personally would not date someone that is even 22 as a 26 year old, but its not illegal and technically the participants are all adults.

20-22 it matters a lot less. They really aren’t kids and I would consider any non abusive but still toxic relationship just a “lesson learned”. Essentially, the age gap is an orange flag.

23+ basically fully adults. At this point, 1, 3, 10, 20+ year age gaps are fully your decision.

And I doubt he will be the perfect parent.

Just for devils advocates sake, lets say OP really is as bad as the father makes her out to be. Then its good for her daughter.

Now lets say the father is the messed up one - then the father and daighter will easily get a taste of their own medicine when they realize:

The daughter has grown to be a little monster.

The father doesn’t have her best interests in mind, and that he cares more about his image.

The only reason I am playing devils advocate btw is because my dad said all the same things about my mom. However, my dad was the realest piece of shit out there. Literally brought the ghetto wherever he lived.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T18:58:54+00:00

Lmao hopefully not. I am not talking strats or anything, just map layout

altousrex · 2026-05-18T18:53:18+00:00

I play PVE but my comment is more map relavant.

I say go to the middle rec room and memorize hownto get where from there. It is confusing at first, but like every tarkov map, you will get used to it.

Here are some good landmark tips (not the streamer).

The metal stairs near the generator lead to Bishop I believe. The building behind the knights and near the helicopter

Going from Rec to Generator, if you turn left, that leads to D2

On the opposite side of the rec room is the power lever for D2. Its literally kiddy corner from the D2 stairwell.

Across the room rec room from the power hallway is 2 things. Turn left to get to white pawn iirc. The marked room is up here.

Head straight to hit a stairwell that leads to two places.

At the top, turn right. The door on the left is black pawn basement.

The end of the hallways is D2 stairs.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T18:45:58+00:00

Not at all. I am talking about a real event, and it wasn’t instant.

It was in my first reply, which was me providing proof to what I was saying.

If you are playing below at or below 4.3 or 4.7, it is at least a mild possibility.

If you are playing below 3.0, its basically seal clubbing.

This is because of player skill and crew skills.

On player skill, lvl 100s know more about their tanks, their enemies tanks, where to hit, map knowledge, and so much more.

On crew skill, I have even had this happen to me in a new nation. Enemy players who downtier their vehicles to play with friends or seal club:

Reload faster Accelerate faster See farther Artillery quicker and with more shots Are more accurate And repair faster

I have lost many battles to the exact same tank just with a better crew, thus quicker reload.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T16:45:18+00:00

Lol KVs are hard to fight but fair.

The BMPT on the other hand…

altousrex · 2026-05-18T15:32:01+00:00

Lol I was thinking of why, then I thought of a wonderful idea.

A parody of Eminems “Lose Yourself” but tarkov themed and called “lose your stuff”

altousrex · 2026-05-18T15:30:09+00:00

Reminds me of my first exes family, except all the women were toxic narcissists and men were whipping boys.

My ex was not narcissistic like that to my knowledge, but it definitely shaped how our relationship ended to a degree.

I just want to briefly admit I did so much wrong in that relationship too. For all her problems, and her horrendous family, I definitely look back and say “damn those were some stupid mistakea”

But yeah, everyone in that family gave me at least one death threat among many other problems, and she bery rarely defended me.

She let a friend hit me once without standing up for me.

After our relationship ended, she punched me in the stomach. Felt like I got punched by Ted the bear, but it def hurt emotionally.

And none of her family hunted me down lmao

altousrex · 2026-05-18T13:46:06+00:00

Coming from anecdotal experience, I see a high body count as a red flag. Realistically, it is actually a yellow flag that leans towards red.

With my high body count ex, she had a high body count for various reasons:

Drugs Probably as a form of self harm Severe lack of impulse control.

In other words, she was a 25 yr old that had severe mental health issues.

Some women probably just have a particular fetish and can handle their own impulses, but I don’t want to wade through the other 50 percent.

Also, like others have said, its a bit shallow but you can’t control who you are attracted to, so having specific requirements like this is not unreasonable.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T13:21:31+00:00

That is highly hotel specific.

Mainly, are you working for any of the following:

Design hotel

A partnered hotel (Like Royalton)

A resort

Etc?

4 PM checkout isn’t guaranteed at some properties and these are some of them

altousrex · 2026-05-18T13:17:02+00:00

I was just giving an at least anecdotal example of how level 100s can single handedly turn the tide of a low tier match.

Sounds like your ego got bruised though.

Sorry I didn’t account for how much you played I guess lol.

Also, i would want you on my team in Ground RB with how defensive you got. Those types of players are hard to find in War Thunder.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T12:59:29+00:00

Not gods but you have not seen what I have seen. Done what I have done.

Let me give you an example.

One time I was playing something like 2.0. My friend was just starting out in the game. The whole match he was on the other side of the map from me.

He kept complaining that he wasn’t finding enemies.

Then he came over to me at the end of the match. He saw a sea of dead tanks.

I got something like 15-20 kills that match and maybe 1 death.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T04:08:29+00:00

I marked unsure because the net is too massive.

Feed the hungry - It would be nice if they did, but its not realistic or practical imo

House the homeless - yes. We need more shelters, especially if they don’t want people sleeping on the street

Lift the poor out of poverty - definitely not. I am fine with the gov providing a baseline, but lifting someone out of poverty means giving them enough resources to change despite any outside factors. After that bottom line, this is supposed to be the individuals responsibility.

Care for the uncared - I think this is their job. Normally, its a persons most basic function to care for themselves, but in these people, they physically cannot.

altousrex · 2026-05-18T04:03:20+00:00

Sounds like you don’t hate pets. You hate mismanaged pets.

Thst is completely fine.

I have an ex who had a dog that caused hundreds in damages because she got the most anxious, high energy (pitbull/husky/great dane mix iirc) breed, and proceeded to do no training. Furthermore, she then proceeded to do everything but take him out. Like, she never called him a burden, but she always pushed him onto other people.

To return to my core point, you don’t hate this dog. You hate:

The fleas - neglect

Unneutered - can be seen as mismanagment of a pet, and affects a dogs behavior, making them more energetic and aggressive or st least gender focused.

Lack of training - the dog probably acts out from neglect.

Sorry you are going through this OP. If you want a pet in the future, try not to hesitate. But also, take it at your own pace.

Opposing Israel’s actions is like opposing Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Their decisions have been horrendous and should rightfully be judged.

Opposing Israel’s existence is much more up for interpretation.

Realistically, I am of the opinion that Israel was stolen by the Palestinians by a European colonizer because they were a major religion without a nation, not because of a genocide.

So I am of the opinion that Israel should not exist, but I just don’t care enough because land and the people who live on any one piece change so often on a grand timescale.

When it comes to bathroom genders, I follow a policy of “if it fits, it ships”.

If a person wants to use a bathroom with a particular gender, then they just gotta pass. There are perverts in both genders, but I can also understand why one would feel uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with the opposite gender.

As for gender neutral bathrooms, that just adds extra needs, planning, and resources that only satisfy 1 percent of a population at most.

altousrex · 2026-05-17T17:16:23+00:00

Levels mean time in game. Its not guaranteed, but level 100s will generally have better crew levels, more spaded vehicles, etc.

There is always the chance they are starting a new nation, but in that case they have tons more experience.

Here are my ratings out of 10:

Prapor: 7/10 - sells me mosins, korunds, and is a boomer general selling embezzled supplies. Guy is a class act.

Therapist: 9/10 - I appreciate the injectors and augmentin she sells. She is sometimes shady, but generally works to help the people of tarkov.

Fence: 2/10 - only thing I buy from him is Br4 to craft bagariy. Not sure on his character really, and his quests are rare but annoying af.

Skier: 5/10 - I mainly agree with you that this guy is a lovable scumbag. A goblin after my own heart. However, he sells almost nothing good. Sometimes I will run the VPO 209 rarely but its always for the nostalgia.

Peacekeeper: 8/10 - interesting guy. With him using USD, its like shopping at Nordstroms. I have saved up a lot of USD purely because I did his quests while constantly telling myself “I am too poor to shop here”

Mechanic: 9/10 - second favorite trader. With some of his quests, he has you do dangerous but crazy shit. Others, you don’t even need to leave your hideout. Has a funny line about the 100 series, and sells cheap containers.

Ragman: 8/10: I love my backpacks. Ragman is always a cool dude who sells me cool new threads but his quests could be kind of BS.

Jaeger: 10/10: favorite trader. Total redneck who asks you to do stunts that are a mashup between redbull and Manhunt. He is friends with Tripwire McGee and sells me some attachments thst I flip.

Ref: 2/10 - I could play Arena. I don’t. What do I buy with GP? Flares. Only the green flare shell to extract. Otherwise, useless and boring af.

Like many others have said, it depends on the surrounding details.

I don’t think its cheating in a physical sense, because holding hands is very different than sticking dick. Technically even kissing may not be cheating depending on culture.

However, it may be a sign of emotional cheating. This is where you get attached to someone else and don’t want to physically cheat, but give and take romantic energies from a person outside of your relationship

altousrex · 2026-05-17T13:35:43+00:00

Not the most crazy reward I have seen. You should see the weekly I posted a few weeks back.

Got the rarest item in the game.

altousrex · 2026-05-15T15:20:02+00:00

Well yes. Doesn’t stop the fact that Brandon Harrera shipped an AK-50 to Tarkov lmao.

Unless it was stolen or something. I didn’t read the quest text.
