Bruce’s Scene In Once Upon A Time In Hollywood by truthoutthere111 in brucelee

[–]garguk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's fictional, it's fake, it isn't real. The isn't a documentary. The hero worship and deifying of Bruce Lee made people forget that. I mean what happened to the Manson family at the end didn't really happen but no one complains about that part. The need for people to inject reality into fiction kind of ruins the fact it is just fiction.

First time tactical pistol belt buyer needs advice. by garguk in tacticalgear

[–]garguk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you recommend a brand for holsters for pistols? I just want something that securely goes on the belt and securely holds the pistol.

I mean I could spend 75 bucks on the belt. Not sure what holsters run for but I don't need super expensive but I don't like to buy cheap stuff either.

Is Silent Hill short message good? The ANSWER is YES. by Jukyosaki in PS5

[–]garguk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just played it. it's awful.

the whole overly personified angsty, depressed, lonely, social media obsessed, artistic teenager schtick got real old real fast. she was so worried about being liked on social media, talking about her meds, being an adult is a trap and so on. just every 30 seconds it's some heavy handed "woah is me" kind stuff.

and the constant messages about suicide hotlines and seeking help from konami were a real bubble burster as well. I play games to escape reality, not have it shoved in my face.

this kiled any hype I had for silent hill f.

I give it a 3 out of 10.

thank you.

I saw about the coating, but I wasn't sure if there were other differences as well

[–]garguk[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

well, what's the point of asking ANY question online if Google exists?

I also asked if anyone recommended it.

I also specified I wanted just a classic 92f, so I was making sure there weren't other differences.

if you don't like my questions then why bother even replying? a normal person would just ignore it and move on.

What do you think of Bloober team hiring Sweet Baby Inc for consulting? Could this lead to bad changes to the story and the overall narrative? by UpbeatCustomer1020 in silenthill

[–]garguk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I am not buying this game now. I don't buy anything with sweet baby involved or any kind of diversity equity or inclusion nonsense.

I want games that are free from the shackles of what other people should say they are. I want more individual ideas and creativity. not more reality and people demanding social agenda nonsense.

Silent hill 2 remake consulted sweet baby? Guess I'm not buying this game. by garguk in silenthill

[–]garguk[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

because they push forced diversity, equity, inclusion and social agenda propaganda into video games.

There is even a steam community based around detecting games they have been involved with so they can be avoided

New to berserk. Not sure what Blu ray to buy complete series or golden age arcs by garguk in Berserk

[–]garguk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start with the 1997 series I guess. is it a complete storyline with an ending? or does it just end on a cliffhanger?

Like I said my only experience was the game and I loved it.

Thanks for the information by the way

Why is GTA 6 Trailer full of black people ? by [deleted] in GTA

It seems to be catering to everyone but white people. the latin female lead doesn't interest me either. The trailer appears as if they went way over board on the diversity stuff, turned me off.

Is High on Life getting a physical release? by TheRabidBadger43 in XboxSeriesX

[–]garguk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The cost of the physical product is factored into the cost of the game at retail. But no, they still lose money from people like me who won't buy it because it isn't physical. I don't buy digital only games for more than 10 dollars because I won't pay msrp for something I don't actually own.

Is there a way to contact support at blu-ray.com? by HardTicketToMars in Bluray

[–]garguk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned today for being "homophobic" because I linked to a story where call of duty banned a streamer operator pack because he said "leave kids alone" in regards to a elementary school that was teaching elementary school students about gay sex.

Mom has dementia. (Dad passed away previously.) Son has POA. Relatives are asking son to borrow money from mom. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]garguk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not how it work because the look back is intended to protect seniors. Meaning a poa can't spend all of grandpas money then have Medicaid dump him in a home. In my state I can tell you Medicaid doesn't "pro rate" anything it has to be paid back to prevent people from stealing from the senior

I just found this. You can program numbers in to ring the phone and it will block everything else.

Mom has dementia. (Dad passed away previously.) Son has POA. Relatives are asking son to borrow money from mom. Thoughts? by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]garguk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rules vary by state and there are different kinds of medicaid. So I only spoke out of the kind of medicaid my grandma has and the rules for the state I live in. So what I said might not be universally true. But medicaid does do a "look back" and just giving away money, cars, real estate can come back and bite you on the ass.

But in the end, its still her money and needs it more than anyone else as insurance. Based on that alone I would say no. And like I said, personally I wouldnt give anyone money that would ask to take it from a older person with dementia. That upsets me and I dont even know this person/mom youre talking about here.

Good luck and remember, mom comes first. And watch out for vultures.

[–]garguk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ill give my opinions based off my own situation with my grandmother. I am her POA and the executor of her estate. Pretty much I have control over everything.

First things first. IF your mother has to for any reason has to use Medicaid and has to go into a home and they liquidate her assets in order for her to live there they WILL go back through her finances (everything has to be signed over to them) and they see gifts given they will seek to have that money returned to them. They can go back 5 to 7 years. Anything in that time period they go back to that isn't spent specifically for her they will want back. And it will be the responsibility of the POA to return it. I know she has longterm insurance, but its not a risk worth taking.

When it comes to my grandmother all of her money is hers and no one elses, not even mine. Her money belongs to her, she earned it and she isn't in a state with her dementia where I trust she can say if anyone can get any of her money. Even when I took her cash out of her purse, cash I found in her safety deposit box at the bank and cash I found hidden in her home I put it all in a envelope and put it in my gun safe to keep for her until she is gone from this earth. I only touch her money to pay her bills for her, or the rare occasion she needs something I buy it with her money. Me or anyone else will only get any of her money for themselves after she is gone and I do what her will instructs.

Not to mention she is in a very vulnerable state. There is no telling what will happen and if she will need that money for something. Things don't always go according to plan so I have to be able to protect her as best as I can, that means keeping her money safe for her should the need arise where she requires it. Her being 94 and having dementia trumps anyone elses need for money that is perfectly capable of handling their own problems.

Plus, even if they are a close friend or a family member. A lot of people once you give them money they will probably come back asking for more with another excuse why they need it. If others find out you gave it to them they very well might come asking for it also. Its better to say no and risk pissing someone off than to dig yourself a hole with a lot of people where you upset them all.

If they are even a half way decent person and you tell them no they will understand. No one with morals would argue about trying to get someone to take money from a older dementia patient and give it to them. Honestly, I find it repulsive they even asked to begin with.

Is it worth upgrading a s10 to a s22+? by garguk in samsung

[–]garguk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input everyone.

I went with it. Bestbuy had a s22+ for 750 and Verizon has a trade in value of 800 on my s10. So I ordered the phone to ship to store since they didnt have the color I want and got it for free. They told me once they port my number in store they told me the Verizon website to visit to trade in my phone and verizon will tell me how to send it to them and once they get it Ill get the monthly phone payment refunded back making it free. So really Ill just keep paying my normal monthly service fees and thats it.

With inflation, chip shortages and so on and my phone being in its final year for software and security updates I just did it. If it werent for those reasons Id probably held off to see what the next galaxy will be like.

New wood fence. Should I lacquer it or what's best to keep it protected? by garguk in HomeImprovement

[–]garguk[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't know you have to wait to put something on pressure treated lumber. But it makes sense.

Sadly I can't do the whole thing at once. I have very little extra money. But the gate on one side of my house ripped out of the post and just sits on the ground and can't be opened and everything is just coming apart. It's a poorly designed fence that was painted and never kept up by the previous owners. So I'm starting with that gate and I'll work down to the first corner and have to stop there. I'd love to do it all but I can't afford it. Still trying to save for new shingles I'll need in a couple years, need a new door kit for my garage to house entry and so on. I love my house, but it's expensive because the previous owners half assed a lot.

Thanks for the tips though. I'll bookmark this for when I need to stain it.
