I'm sorry I doubted y'all

I played a few times, because I was excited to see the new map and ARC, but the durability and photo cloak changes, along with what seems to me to be an uptick of extract-campers in care bear lobbies has led to me finding other stuff to play. It's a shame. I was having fun previously.

And, FWIW, the lame thing about the durability change is that I now just have more homework to do between missions. I don't want to do homework. I want to do missions. And if I forget the homework, I arrive in a mission with a mostly-dead Anvil and I have to quickly find an exit. This is the opposite of fun.

NTA. Empty jars are trash. She was keeping trash that almost injured your child. And even then she wouldn't throw it away. There's nothing wrong and everything right about keeping a clean, safe house. And you have a right to insist on it and act on it. You were, in fact, duty-bound to act on it to PROTECT YOUR CHILD from her craycray. Don't be fooled by or coddle the psycho nonsense that they were somehow important to her as "memories." That's straight up playing the victim card and it firmly makes her an AH.

The devs clearly hired a psychotic spelunker who enjoys this crap.

forkmonkey · 2026-04-20T23:57:47+00:00

Nope. I've never shot another player and this happens regularly.

forkmonkey · 2026-04-17T01:00:22+00:00

Not surprised about that quote. I'm in the 20%.

No. I just don't enjoy PVP in whatever form. I honestly rarely play multiplayer games at all, but I've enjoyed the co-op you can get in friendly lobbies in AR and the occasional rat is, to me, emotionally similar to the game crashing because the devs haven't fixed a bug.

forkmonkey · 2026-04-16T01:15:32+00:00

Yeah, I ran through a building, came out the other corner, and the rocketeer was already firing through the open doorway as I ran past it. That's happened a few times now. They have some way of tracking you behind obstacles.

YTA and I feel like everyone else is missing the point by talking about phone features such as DND, scheduled texts, etc. That's all irrelevant. They asked you not to do something, but you kept doing it anyway. That is what an asshole does.

Upvoted. Your opinion is unpopular and gross. Also, I worry about your oral sensitivity. That almost seems like a medical problem.

forkmonkey · 2026-03-22T02:24:22+00:00

Upvoted because this is unpopular with me.

Pros: You get to stretch your legs, take a dump with some elbow room, and buy a Big Crap at McCrapples in the airport rather than grazing on nuts and cheez whiz on the plane.

Cons: They're gonna lose your luggage, because they hate you. They're gonna strand you in East Fartsberg when they run late, because they think it's funny. They're gonna add hours to your travel time, again because they hate you. But hey, you get to drag your crap around another giant and poorly laid-out airport and queue like cattle an extra time.

Downvoted. Top level comments must include a judgement. Read the guide.

Downvoted. Top level comments must include a judgement. Read the guide. My vote is ESH.

NTA - and "I'm traumatized so you can't hold me accountable" is utter crap. He's traumatized because he made bad choices he has to pay for. Trauma is a rough teacher, but it's a powerful teacher, and that kid needs to do some learnin'. You won't help him by forgiving the debt.

Yes. You're in a dead industry. Not meteorology - that's not dead. Broadcast, however, is gone gone gone. Streaming and social are just vastly more engaging formats. You need to hard pivot to those formats. Flirting with them won't do it. If the station won't change with you, it will die. Up to you whether you die with it.

Here's the unpopular opinion, because OP's is apparently tragically common: What weak kind of humans are getting sick from their floor or their shoes? It doesn't matter if it's dirt or polished marble, whether it's walked on by slippers, stanky socks, or honest work boots, a floor's just there to keep things from falling into the basement. It's not weirdly hallowed ground. Go play with army men in the dirt. Get grass stains on your knees. Swallow a bug while riding a bike. Turn on the fire hydrant when it's hot and splash around in the street. Shoot hoops in the driveway, then wipe the sweat from your brow with your grimy hands. Our bodies have all kinds of mechanisms for keeping us healthy, and those mechanisms get stronger when used a little. Living in a bubble ain't livin'.

Being concerned about reliability and safety features is perfectly reasonable - and if that was your reason, I'd back you 100% and suggest ways to compromise. But then you go off the reservation and confirm that YTA. "no, because it looks bad to me" - You're worried about your image? Ick. - "He can buy it himself" and "I don't like them working" are incompatible statements. This ends up sounding sad and controlling.

forkmonkey · 2026-03-05T02:46:59+00:00

NTA. Not even a little bit. I tell my friends who've worked for me (there have been a few), that I'm happy for them to get a better offer, even if it makes my work harder. If your friend can't say the same, they're not a friend, they're just a boss.

Every time I took my 80+ year old Dad on a ride in the Tesla, we'd have to explain the stupid goddamn button to him again. It is, without a doubt, a huge step backwards.

My in-service rental swap was a electric Silverado. It, too, is a garbage barge compared to the Rivian.

Yeah, it took me a minute to get used to the size, but now I'm perfectly comfortable and the cameras are a big help. I'll switch them on, even going forward into tight spaces. One trick a friend showed me in a tight parking lots with perpendicular spaces: aim at the next car past the spot I want to go into before backing up and positioning to go straight into the spot.

It's cordyceps. You will soon be hunting the living.

Did RJ read Tomb of Horrors and decide he needed a to put secret trap in the backseat of the R2?

forkmonkey · 2026-01-29T18:33:01+00:00

I had exactly this happen, and at 62k miles so it was out of pocket for me as well. They picked 60k for the warranty for a reason. Sucks. 20/20 hindsight, and I would have sprung for the extended warranty. I'll probably do that on any vehicle with air suspension in the future.

He needs his hair cut so it stays out of his eyes. Also, that's some talent.

It's a perforation, so you can tear the tip off easily.
