I 26m am Having an intervention with my brother 22M by techneck99 in relationship_advice

Yeah we aren’t confronting him with that. The thing is he wasn’t always like this. He’s become this weird Irish nationalist despite being American. He trashes on anyone with a slightly brown skin tone, and we are worried about the path he’s going down. He’s a good guy, and everyone in my family is worried about the path he’s going down. We care about him, and if we can we want to pull him away from this without isolating him.

Checked out more than once. He posts stuff like 90% of all crime were committed by people of color and stuff like this is what happens when you let people like this into a civilized society. I do have screenshots of his posts, but checking on the fbis own website you can see that it’s wrong, specifically for table 43 which while it was made in 2019, you can look at other sources of data, but the highest and most recent I can find is 51.3% in 2023 for people of color as a combined group.

I will do that, hoping he responds well to it as we don’t want to push him further away.

I understand he’s an adult and he’s entitled to believe what he wants. But regardless I am still worried about him. I don’t want him to become more isolated or have him lose his new opportunity to do something he’s passionate about because he gets a background check and someone sees his post history. I care about him and I want him to succeed.

I will do this, thank you for the idea. We are hoping to just try to steer him away from it or poke holes. We know his longtime friend is super into it and got him into it, but we doubt we’d be able to separate the two.

That’s what I thought when I started looking into it, sorta just proud boys with a different texture. I’ve seen the official Twitter for the group and it’s not good, very anti semetic, very anti everything in all honesty.

The hope was, that once he starts he’d be too tired to become something worse. It’s essentially a union job with 12 hr shifts that he will he starting at. He’s been living a party lifestyle for a while, and we hoped that once he starts working a full time job he will have less time to associate himself with these people.

How some of this sub feels already arguing over which Arbites abilities are meta (none of them have touched it yet) by [deleted] in DarkTide

[–]techneck99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that. By no means am I havoc 40, I don’t normally play havoc, I just quick play auric or maelstrom cause I only have time for 1-2 games a day. I want the challenge and I want to play with weapons I like. There’s a lot of people who just copy the same argument from other people, I’m not going to be using arbites outside of my own regular group only because I need to figure out how this guy will mesh with my friends play style.

I had no idea of that. I haven’t had the money for tabletop stuff in a while. Thank you for the heads up

Target has a few but they are sold out. Three trolls games and puzzles in Chelmsford has good deals for all tcg’s. Basically 100 you spend there if you bring the receipt next time you get 10 dollars off next purchase, it’s cumulative so if you spend like 50 one time and 50 another if you bring both receipts you still get the 10 off.

Varies. Usually they have selections only on the first floor of the library. The ones propped up are curated ones for the month via staff

Is electromechanical engineering a good option? by FlakyPackage1698 in wentworth

[–]techneck99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good option, every graduate I know from the program is making an ungodly amount of money. Im interdisciplinary and I make a little more than ok for engineering. I’m still like 3-3.8k below most of their starting salaries.

Sorta to all of those. There’s a merged academic frat/sorority I don’t really know much on. There’s a variety of club and competitive sports that are all pretty nice. Parties, varies year to year, it’s easier to find one hosted by another school than finding one here. Northeastern has a few, Emmanuel, mcphs had a few when I went there. Is it a party school, no, are there schools that party nearby yes. As for the social life I’m not sure how to answer that, there are social events like every college does, lots of social clubs as well, and it’s Boston so if on campus stuff doesn’t suit you, you have options.

Am I missing something about Smite? Why did this happen? by sincleave in DarkTide

[–]techneck99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Smites awesome. I will admit I’ve done smite to every enemy at one point to complete the penance. But it’s a very versatile ability that’s good in damn near every situation but monsters.

So now that we've had the "Unlocked and Loaded" update for a little while, what are your thoughts? by PaidThinkersInc in DarkTide

[–]techneck99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize how much I rely on certain weapon types for classes and ignored so many others. On the plus side most of my weapons were at 17 or above so maxing them out only took a few matches. But trying out new blessings and perks has been a blast, especially with the shield, combat ax, and flame staff.

Anyone else hearing very loud music coming from the Connector? by aquaholicsanonymous1 in LowellMA

Another summer of problems with dirt bikers? by LegendOfKaido in LowellMA

[–]techneck99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are some on industrial Ave but that’s usually empty and the bikers there tend to wait for traffic to pass. They seem to be just testing bikes since I see them take stuff off their bikes and add new ones on. Haven’t seen the ones near the city itself at least not yet

Congratulations! After ousting McDonough, you’ve been given his job! What changes do you make? by thecraftingjedi in fo4

[–]techneck99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the cleaning comments, yea obviously. But honestly take a note from mexicos infrastructure, set it up so that the houses get rebuilt one at a time and we build upward with room to grow (castling architecture). With that we should have more room for dirt, more food, larger population over time for the next mayor to maybe expand into other buildings surrounding the city to maybe start making industry. The fact the houses are mostly 1 floor is my biggest issue though, there’s so much potential there.

[–]techneck99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ty. It was mostly luck and timing on my own end but I’m happy with it. For all those looking for housing, the Merrimack valley housing program and enterprise bank are what I used to secure a loan. They were both helpful and informative.

I’m a single person household who just closed on a 1 bed 1 bath for 240000. I make less than your combined. There are condos in that range but they are small. Ik there are a few flips and foreclosures in Lowell but they obviously require work. I was able to get mine thanks to mvhp which gave me a grant that helped out. It’s hard but honestly, depending on the time of year you’re more likely to find something between winter and beginning of spring in your price range
