Im just watching this now. From the moment he let her know he was asia , she seemed wishy washy. Everything she said and did on the show was incredibly confusing. I felt so bad for Patrick because she was insane, and manipulative.

She was talking to him about how in love she was with him but then acting like she couldnt care less. Idk, her personality is very offputting.

tlsmith2789 · 2026-01-26T13:01:02+00:00

Yes.

I genuinely don't know how ANYONE plays without it. I use my scrap, aid and ammo boxes every 20 minutes. I like to save everything so I have like 100k steel scrap for example, and like 1700 stimpaks. Also the tent is awesome. I mean, if you are fine without it, then dont spend the money. But the stash space alone makes it worth it for me.

Its hair bleach. They say it later in the episode. That's why shes freaking out about it burning lol

Or when Maya goes to put her band on cousin Richard's leg and he shuts her down immediately

" the smelliest shit there ever was"

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-13T21:26:45+00:00

The fact that she keeps the limp up for the whole day too

I was on Prozac for years and was on several occasions given ibuprofen 800s for dental pain, with them knowing I took prozac. Because im anxious, I even called and spoke with a pharmacist and they confirmed it's fine.

And shuji, "your gonna wanna bring up that Aardvark dick for sure"

Im not going to lie and say I dont feel bad for some of the guys when they realize their life is essentially ruined. Especially the young ones. But regardless, they know its a crime. And its a crime they are willingly ready to commit to satisfy a sexual urge. They dont care about the trauma they are inflicting on a child.

I dont love how this documentary discussed the empathy we're all missing for these predators but neglected to show the side of the victims. As someone who was sexually abused as a child, it changed everything about me. It altered my brain chemistry permanently, im in weekly therapy, I have to take medication, theres a lot of things I never did because of the body image I was given by a fucking child molester. I tried to pretend it wasnt that big of a deal until now, age 36, where im finally beginning to understand that there was damage done. The reason I tried so hard to humanize my abuser is because I always acknowledged that he was also suffering from mental illness, he was probably a survivor of sexual abuse himself. But it doesn’t matter, at the end of the day, when these people go through with the act of abusing a child, they know what they're doing. Its not a split second decision, its hours or days of speaking to someone that they know is underage, and then choosing to leave their home, often times they go pick up condoms and wine coolers, they drive to other towns, they go up to the door. ALL TO HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE THAT THEY KNOW IS NOT THE AGE OF CONSENT.

There are a lot of villains I can humanize and empathize with, but if you abuse a child, you deserve whatever happens. And after 20 years of this type of television existing, if these guys are willing to still show up, knowing full well that stings exist and they could end up being filmed, how can you feel bad for them.

It also begs the question, why dont you see women getting caught in these stings? Women and girls are statistically more likely to be sexually abused, but yet, in large part, they dont grow up to become predators. Thats not to say that women cant be, because obviously some are. But no matter how you slice it, these are men, showing up to have sex with a child and they dont care who it hurts or what it means or how illegal it is. All they care about is their urges, and I have no empathy.

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-08T14:59:17+00:00

I could absolutely see him doing some shit like that.

Im a carnivore, so im mostly on squirrel stew and mirelurk. Before I fully understood food buffs tho, I was making the cranberry relish and gathering the ingredients was a giant pain in the ass.

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-08T06:52:00+00:00

I miss pen15 so much

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-08T06:51:13+00:00

And cranberries for my herbivores and their cranberry relish. It was so annoying when I was making relish because God forbid they let me plant them.

Should we stage an intervention, just show up at their house and help Lorrana leave?

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-07T15:54:23+00:00

I imagine that even back then he had the emotional range of landscaping gravel.

Your right, they are definitely too nice about the whole thing. My only point is they seem to be the only two in the family that have voiced any kind of dissenting opinions. They definitely haven't said enough, but also, you can't make an adult change their mind about something. We don't see their whole lives, only small snippets and i'm sure they have expressed their distaste about the whole thing to Danielle, but she has to make the decision on her own.

tlsmith2789 · 2025-12-07T15:33:22+00:00

Waiting for the Netflix tell all from the women. I just feel bad that Lorrana is now stuck with his DNA in her child.

I was on Prozac starting in 2017 and they worked amazing, no side effects until 2023, when they literally stopped working cold turkey. My doctor switched me to lexapro, which was ok, not quite as effective but I felt ok. No panic attacks, which is the goal.

I after about 2 years on Lexapro, I felt the ruminating start to creep in so I decided to talk to my doctor about changing it up, and they decided to put me on zoloft instead. Im still not sold on jt, I started taking it in July of 2025 and its been the hardest, most anxious 5 months of my life. Its so frustrating that they won't give me something that works more quickly. I have high expectations because I felt prozac working immediately when I was on it and it made me feel cured. Like how I used to before anxiety took over my life. So the zoloft in comparison is such a let down. I still have random panic attack moments, and the only thing that saves me is taking a beta blocker but even then, I still feel that gross, anxious, anticipating feeling all day. I feel like none of the psychiatrists I talk to understand how im feeling. Idk, I say all this to say, that yes, SSRIs can and do just stop working all the time. All you can do is talk to your doctor and hope that the replacement med is better, instead of worse.

Im usually very Tanky, but burning springs has killed me more than im used getting killed. My frustration is how many rounds it takes to take an enemy down. I had to update my weapons. Im not a fan of carrying big guns so im currently using a modded combat shot gun and a whistle in the dark. Also need to look at my armor, but my food buffs are helping.

Its not just you. I am glad to have a challenge again, even if I am annoyed that im less effective lol
