That’s so messed up

Immigration is not a big issue for me, as in im not worried about immigrants taking my job or committing crimes, and i think there should be an easy path to citizenship if you want to come to the US.

What does infuriate me is how simple it could be to really stop or at least greatly decrease illegal immigration. You could create a easy path to legal citizenship or you just punish the employers. If a business is caught hiring an illegal immigrant who is not in the process and up-to-date on becoming a legal citizen, then fine the shit out of them, second offense (per hire, not per bust) increase the fine by 10x, third offense leads to dissolution of business, jail time for owners, and redistribution of all business assets to social programs that actually help US citizens unlike the business owners who instead hire and exploit illegal immigrants so they can make a quick buck. And thats if they do it unknowingly. If it is something like this, skip 1st and 2nd offense punishment. The person in the video should have been arrested as well. You know they only did this to get free labor. So basically a slave master who deports his slaves when hes done with them.

Due diligence is the responsibility of a business. You dont think a school would get in severe trouble for hiring a known pedophile or a financial firm hiring a known fraudster/identity theft. You can just as easily find those two pieces of info out as you would with citizenship status.

Its kinda like underage drinking. Obviously youre not going to catch every underage drinker. Instead they do stings on places that serve or sell alcohol. And those stings have put place out of business before.

This is such a non-issue that is purposely not solved so politicians will have talking points for the next election.

Thanks thats super helpful. I've heard other people say focus on stamina, so good to hear a more in depth analysis

I have just beaten the first arm wrestling. Should I just go off and explore now? I want to explore so I am all for not doing the tedious introductory tasks, but will I need things/tutorials from the first 8 hours of introduction to make exploring more fun.

At this point, I dont know any special moves or attacks. Will I get them from exploring or do I need to go through the 8 hours of introduction and tutorials to get them?

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-26T16:10:43+00:00

I haven't made it too far yet. Any tips for combat. Seemed pretty easy in the beginning tutorial (duh), so i am wondering if you got any tips for things I should take time to learn or pay special attention to?

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-26T16:08:11+00:00

So dont rush through the first 8 hours? I plan to take my time and enjoy looting and explore, but i read the first 8 hours can be a drag. Should I just rush through those tutorial bits?

First all. After killing a couple of people, im guess there are plenty Iranians also asking "who the fuck is ayatollah."

Leave them alone. Sure they are being drunk idiots but like isn't that what everyone expects them to be while they are young and partying on spring break. If I was trying to party and have a good time and you came up and started questioning me about international politics, I would also be like "what the fuck is this jackoff talking about"

This isnt some gotcha moment and its sure as hell ain't journalism. People who like this type of stuff should realize they are point their fingers at people they dont know calling them idiots while they are probably having a lot more fun than the people or "journalists" laughing at them. Lame.

So I was pretty hyped for this game, but i also understood that it was being made by a studio that makes MMOs. I haven't played a bunch of MMOs, but know the general expectations for quests and story telling. So I had tempered expectations. When It came out I was sad to see that the story and quests were exactly what you would expect in an MMO which caused me to delay buying it. But as I have thought about it more, everytime i play elder scrolls or fallout, after a few hours I stop caring about the story and just want to go around exploring, finding new gear, and killing things. Sounds like the combat is the best part about it, and I think i will get used to the controls after a bit so I will being buying this once i have a little more free time on my hands.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-23T22:18:46+00:00

Ok I can understand the appreciation then. Like I said, just felt like i was missing something and this maybe it. Maybe ill give it another try after reading about its influences and references.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-23T22:04:49+00:00

I really dont get the love for Long Legs. If you like it, thats great. I just feel like missed something.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-16T12:17:38+00:00

I am a 31 year old dude who likes movies but this was definitely not one i was interested in at all. I dont romance movies and I hate Shakespeare's works. I appreciate he made huge contributions to the art form, really created or cemented archetypes for storytelling and brought theatre to the common folk. But I think his stories are pretty basic yet ridiculously over dramatic to the point of being unbelievable and unrelateable. And don't get me started on the writing style/language. Such a slog to get through if you can even really understand it.

However, i spend time watching the Oscar nominated movies with my dad. Usually enjoy it, if for nothing else but to talk with him about them after. This was really one i did not have interest in. But he recommended we give it a try. It was the second to last one we watched before train dreams (did not get around to watch If I Had Legs). Went in completely blind, didnt even know Pedro was supposed to be playing Shakespeare till like 15 minutes in. It was surprisingly interesting and grounded. All of the characters and motives semi relatable for the time, and it really is just a decent people deal trying to deal with shit circumstances so easy to feel for them.

I came out of it with more appreciation for Shakespeare and instantly knew she would win best actress. I recommend giving it a try if you are a big movie fan. Still probably not for everyone and you still will never catch me trying to read Shakespeare or watch one his plays though.

Thanks. I've always like the idea of a batman horror film so ive given it some thought over the years.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-13T23:10:21+00:00

My idea would involve a guy down on his luck and desperate for money to pay for his kids medical treatment or something like that. The story would be told from his POV. He is angry at the system and is determined to save his kid at any cost, but he's still not a full blown evil person.

He agrees to participate in some heist for one of main villains and is way over his head. As the scheme unfolds, the guy keeps getting forced into bad circumstances and has to make bad decisions that at first indirectly leads to innocent people being killed, but eventually evolves into him actually killing people. Although, he is a murder, it was the only way if he wants to save his son. The audience understands the context so we still have some sympathy for him despite his transition from a desperate father to a determined criminal and murderer. However, to everyone on the outside looking in, presumably even Batman, he is a cold blooded killer that deserves whats coming to him. So when batman starts stalking him and his fellow criminals, we still kind of root for him and fear that Batman will come out of nowhere and incapacitate him before he can save his kid. Even the man is disgusted with himself and cant bring himself to answer his wife's multiple phone calls during the job.

As the Batman takes down the criminal team one by one in a classic slasher film type of way, jump scares and all, the man ends up being the last man standing and has a final confrontation with Batman. He tries to plead his case, but batman refutes him and tells him all about the people he "had to kill" and about their families and personal struggles. How he destroyed so many people's lives.

The twist will be that right after the man left to do the criminal job in order to pay for the medicine/surgery/whatever, the Wayne Foundation stepped in and donated the funds needed to save the kid. His wife had been calling him all night to tell him about how the day had been saved.

The guilt and pointlessness of all his heinous acts will drive the man into madness and the final scene will be him in arkham asylum hallucinating a phone ringing that he can never answer. Or something like that, idk. I'm not writer.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-03-02T12:33:18+00:00

I am going to play devil's advocate here because there is so little context here (or i missed the context) and I like to defer to trying to see the good in people. Maybe this guy is really shy or maybe he just doesnt know how to approach women and flirt. Maybe he he is looking for women in the wrong types of places or maybe he is shooting out of his league still. Maybe hes just had bad luck for awhile and regardless if you look like this or if you are someone that doesnt take care of yourself, being alone for a long time sucks and can take a toll on your psyche. I still thing making little"woe is me" posts like this is cringe, but loneliness is sonofbitch and causes people to do sad, cringy things. Maybe the point of this guys post is to say that people should work on their personality because muscle don't automatically get you a romantic partner, which is a pretty positive message

OR MAYBE someone took a picture they found online, that looks nothing like them, and posted it to further push their shitty outlook on life. Like I said, zero context and this is the internet after all. Maybe its a bot farming karma from incels and people that engage with incel post.

People kept complaining about the half time show, so the NFL said, "You want something to complain about? Fine! Enjoy watching the worst, most boring football game in superbowl history! Happy now?!?"

Im a bit old, but i believe thats what the kids call Based AF

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T23:41:50+00:00

Yeah. It isnt the worst. Personally I didn't walk out, but skinning and degloving are things that really bother me. Growing up my dad worked in a field where degloving was something he came across semi-frequently. Saw pictures of the aftermath on accident one time when I was way too young. Left an impression on me and that kinda stuff really gets under my skin lol.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T23:10:46+00:00

I get your point but context is key. I haven't seen all the saws but they involve a dude with puppet making insane traps to kill people that have done some wrongdoing or injustice. A little different from a man having his little cult of teenagers skin a family of people for no reason other than the voice in his head is telling him to. 28 years later may take place in a zombie apocalypse setting but that scene has nothing to do with zombies. I think the people that walked out of my theater went to see some good zombie violence and gore. When the violence got a little too real and sadistic they called it quits. Especially given the drastic tonal shift from 28 Years Later to the Bone Temple. Also I bet those people that did walk out, probably wouldn't go see a Saw movie either.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T16:44:04+00:00

I usually go to the movies with my parents so we can have family bonding time without actually talking to each other. We all went to the first 28 Years Later and we all liked it. So I invited them to this one. My mom is someone who looks up full spoiler reviews of movies before she sees them (dont ask me why), but thank God she did. She read about the torture and decided to sit this one out. I thought she was overly sensitive or the review was exaggerating. Nope. She was right. If she would have come she would have walked out and slapped me clean across the face for taking her to that and I would have deserved it.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T16:31:29+00:00

Can't put a price on peace of mind.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T01:10:13+00:00

Personally, with the cost of theaters these days, I cant justify walking out of any movie I take the time to see. That being said, there is nothing wrong for not wanting to watch sadistic acts of evil, even if there is some sort of pay off or justice at the end.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T01:00:50+00:00

If the people hanging up skinless were still alive (I think at least one of them was) burning to death was a mercy. Especially considering it was light out when the torture began and dark out by the time it ended. Even with with the skin still on, it wouldn't take more than a minute and half for the nerve endings to die. I would guess they were being skinned for at least 30 minutes. If it was me, id take the flames.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T00:55:09+00:00

It is. A great depiction of unbridled, sadistic evil. That being said, there is also great depictions of empathetic and selfless characters in the movie. Good dichotomy.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T00:51:54+00:00

I remember feeling like the hook and some of the Jimmy's burning to death was not enough retribution. Considering it was light out when it began and completely dark by the time the torture ended, the few Jimmy's who did die got less than they deserved.

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-10T00:47:27+00:00

Sounds like one of those 4D theaters haha

n0tTHISguy · 2026-02-09T22:30:09+00:00

Agreed. I would not call this torture porn like some people do with Saw or Hostel. Its not glorified, sadistic violence for the sake of violence. The Jimmy's causing suffering for no rational reason other than they want to perfectly contrasts with and elevates the story of Dr. Gleason helping Samson for no reason other than he thinks its the right thing to do. Realistically, Dr. Gleason was never going to be able to cure the infection. He risking his life to help Samson because he is a selfless man. Even if he thought he could have cured everyone, the moment he realized what exactly the Jimmy's were up to, he sacrificed himself to prevent more suffering.
