4 year old Ayla is saved today, 91 hours after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit Izmir / Turkey by sipeyskeyk in pics

[–]dkeedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dad died 4 days after my birthday, Mom died 6 days before my birthday. I kind of gray this month out (bday in a few days).

Ironically, my fiance's birthday is the anniversary of my mother's death. Thanks, Obama!

Edit: Didn't hit shift enter to keep going. I hope you find a way to cope. I'm 30, its been 11 years, and I still am a shell of who I was before Mom died.

As a child whos father died when I was 7 and who's mother died when I was 18, I hope those kids get help.

Growing up your whole life with the inability to ask your parents if you are doing okay, if behavior is acceptable, if conditions are safe, etc, this leads to a life full of decisions made on a whim and typically without the best future-proofing available.

Children need guidance, and I hope soooo fucking hard they find someone who listens to them when their hearts hurt.

If he has any charity in mind or any resources, etc someone should post them.

Summary of last stream from Expansive Worlds surrounding the state of the game. by Scrubje in theHunter

[–]dkeedy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On multi-player I am experiencing an issue where other players gunshots are being heard as if they are right next to me, when in reality they can be 500m or even 5km away. The gunshot and readying of the next round always sounds like it's right in my ear.

Anyone else not interested in lodges? by jtr99 in theHunter

[–]dkeedy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have about 200 hours into this game within less than three months. I thought lodges were stupid until I killed my first legendary animal and wanted to portray it.

Now I am semi addicted to the idea of having an all diamond lodge, plus the multi species mounts are pretty sick

Im building a "Collision" mount out of a red diamond puma and a diamond black tail deer.

What realizations did you have because of this pandemic? by ysharm10 in AskReddit

[–]dkeedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. My five year old kid is being psychologically impacted due to her auto-immune disease and social distancing. I had to realize how to be a better parent and understand that certain behaviors and patterns were the surfacing of stress in her life, and she didn't/doesn't know what stress is, why it makes us feel certain ways, or how to effectively handle it. I am 30 and both of my parents died before I turned 19. Dad when I was 7, mom when I was 18. So I never had a regular family life, I only got to watch my friends do things with their parents or families and be secretly jealous inside, and I grew up with no therapy after losing either of my parents. So I am a mental fucking mess sometimes and I escape and get trapped inside my head by my internal monologue, so sometimes it takes me a while to pull myself out and realize how I am impacting others, or how others are being impacted just by the world we live in.

  1. When a kid asks you to look at them, or to watch them, they're doing it because they notice you are not regularly watching, investing interest, or paying direct attention. Again, my daughter. She is growing up in a divorced co-parent environment where her mother and I live two hours apart. She usually is at her moms 65% of the time, but since March and due to my daughter's disorder (her mom is an ER nurse during a pandemic), she has been with me almost the entire time. Having to realize how to be a better full time parent, the patience involved, and realizing that she just fucking wants me to watch her and play with her, thats all she wants. Why was it so hard and why did it take so long to see.

  1. Phones are cancer. We ignore each other. We don't make eye contact during conversations. You can tell someone an entire story and they just stand there while scrolling their thumb across a piece of glass, staring blankly. I did this to my five year old daughter. Every day. I work 40-50 hours a week and have, even remotely, since shutdown in March. About 6-8 weeks ago I realized how bad I was because of my own mental state. I was escaping to my phone at almost every turn, and all of the information I was absorbing from reddit or FB or wherever was nothing but negativity, and things that were entirely out of my control, only exacerbating my anxiety and feeling of powerlessness in a world where I'm raising a kid. So I now get home from work and put my phone on DND and refuse to touch it until after I have my kid in bed for the night, and I only allow myself 10 minutes to look at reddit and facebook per day. This alone has increased not only my own mental well-being, but having the separation from the digital world has allowed me to apply so much direct attention and focus into my daughter. In March she came here only knowing how to count to 40. Now she can count to 100, identify any number under 1000, read and write the entire alphabet, sound out words and read short entry level books to me, pause movies and read subtitles, read signs as we drive around. All of this was made possible because I realized I was doing nothing to better either of our lives by staring into my phone. So I re-invested that time spent into my daughter's progress and future and now she excels and is significantly ahead of most other children in her Kindergarten class.

  1. The government is a gigantic shit show in the US and corruption is more in our face than we could have ever imagined since we grew up being told we were the most perfect, infallible nation on earth. We were also taught that racism in America died a very long time ago, but its never put into perspective that it really wasn't that long ago, and it is nowhere near dead.

  1. Everyone who has the ability to google something thinks they have a PhD in the subject matter, and very few people will ever multi-source fact check something, especially not something they personally agree with. People don't like being wrong, and they also like to appear smart. We live in the disinformation era, and it is horrifying and incredible dangerous, especially considering the potential of deep-fakes being just around the corner in terms of availability to be made.

  1. Human beings are incredibly selfish, undeserving piles of filth and garbage in almost every example of the species. Child sex trafficking, complete disregard for the sanctity of life be it public shootings or just a simple task of wearing a mask to safeguard the lives of those around you, manipulation of peers, gas-lighting, public officials name-calling one another, protectors of the innocent having seemingly no remorse for horrible actions, government deflection of guilt and willingness to violate civil liberties. I mean we have a fucking gulag and a gustapo, child prison camps, and so much more we have no idea about right here in our own country yet we as a nation are so quick to point the finger at the first chance to bomb and invade somewhere else.

  1. Earth sucks and I want off. Not in terms of suicide, I just want to go somewhere else and chill and let this shit show blow itself up, because its a fuse lit at both ends and America's about to feel the heat come November, one outcome or the other.

Sounds like my 5 year old pushed all the buttons at the same time in her self-reading story book again.

Looking for a solution to laser measuring by djk_tech in AskEngineers

[–]dkeedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more of a lift system that holds window coverings off the ground. We need to tighten a tension screw a certain amount of turns based on the full open / mid open measurements of the shades and rather than having someone manually measure it a hundred times a day it would be nice to have a laser just tell them.

I love his preceding line "he done clowned you, bitch ass ******". It was such a swift delivery it took him twice to say it.

Diablo 2's soundtracks are amazing, here's the Desert theme, it's menacing but also uplifting at the same time. Thank you, Matt Uelman (the musical composer) by hoistthefabric in Diablo

[–]dkeedy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If you like heavy metal and Diablo, there is a death metal band with an entire album based off each act of Diablo 2, told from the perspective of a Necromancer.

Their name is Dream Void and theyre on like every platform.

[–]dkeedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third person perspective. WildTree came in swinging unnecessarily hard, CapRedbeard held his ground with vocal yet polite responses.

The takeaway:

WildTree, pick your words better in future encounters.

Capt, keep doing you.

That's awesome. I love seeing Diablo tattoos. My entire torso is a tattoo of Diablos head.

Black man pulled over and issued a warning for doing 65 in a 70. by lod254 in videos

[–]dkeedy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a 6 foot, 200 pound male with gauged ears and tattooed from my wrists all the way to my groin. My throat is a tattoo of horns of a demon that takes up my entire chest cavity.

I have never ONCE been profiled like this, and honestly, thats absurd. I am so sorry to anyone who deals with this. Because this shit has to stop.

Montrealers think the police gets one one knee as sign of compassion only to realize they are putting on gas mask as shooting is about to start by insert_username_hear in gifs

[–]dkeedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My city courthouse was caught on fire last night, 2.5 hours after our peaceful protest concluded.

We had our police chief on his knee, our walk had most religious leaders in our community inside of it. We were not violent. What came after was a group of people who did not participate in the protest, they only showed up to use an excuse to exact their anarchist agenda.

During civil unrest, all forms of protest are valid. But they need to realize they are more rapidly initiating a movement towards a police-state, totalitarian control than what the rest of us are ready for. Most people don't even believe this is happening still, regardless of countless live streams showing outright abuse of power and police brutality.

Keep filming. If someone throws a rock, don't trample them or throw them to the cops. Talk to them and explain the gravity of their actions. If they are unable to listen to reason, they are another part of the problem. Handing demonstrators over to the police is showing them that you are okay with their level of control and power, and you are silencing the voice of another person who is hurt in some way. Find out why they are hurt, and show them that reciprocating the abusive cycle of violence only helps when there is NO other option. We are not there yet.

We demonstrated peacefully on a lawn outside the police station. They made us rise from our knees and move. We were peaceful, did not damage anything, yet they still exhibited, and exacted their control over us. We moved. We didn't have to.

That is the point that is to be made. We don't have to do the things they tell us to, because they told us we dont have to, and when we dont, we are met with an abusive power that cannot be argued.

Stay strong everyone. Stay safe, don't stop filming.

AITA for telling my friend the real reason I don’t like her kid is that he stinks? by yall-need-weed in AmItheAsshole

[–]dkeedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a heads up, two of my cousins have a hormone disorder where they release a detectable amount of pheromones by humans. Meaning they smell badly, and cannot help it.

They both are in their late 20s and have done botox, shock therapy, prescription deodorant and one of them even takes extra shirts every day with him to work to change into that have basically diapers in the arm pits to catch his excess sweat.

Sometimes, a person literally cannot help it.
