_OP_is_A_57 karma

Wasn't there a kid who made an accurate counterstrike map of his highschool and got expelled?

IIRC he actually was a good hearted kid who just wanted to make a map of something he knew for him and his friends to LAN games on.

Edit: found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrHAw_V5UMM

Sorry had to wait until after work. Kinda bad searching for that thing at a work station. lol

I'm on a combo of Remeron 30mg (for ptsd) and lamotrigine 100mg for bpd stemming from trauma. They are both incredibly effective for me and work in harmony.

I have a severe addiction to alcohol and benzos from years of anxiety, stress, and trauma.

I successfully made it through a divorce, from finding out its going to happen to papers being signed, without relapsing. Without these meds, therapy and my meetings I can firmly say I'd be dead right now.

DBT is the next steps with my therapist. Specifically because I was skeptical. But I've learned that I should just try anything since in the end it may be one extra barrier between me and relapse.

14 months sober as of tomorrow.

Incidentally Two weeks ago I had a really bad set of rolling panic attacks that wound up with me in the ER. I turned down Ativan mid panic attack. Fucking hardest thing I've ever had to say no to. But damn am I proud.

the payout rate will average between $0.25-0.50 per hour

This is interesting. Even on the low end we can take a popular game... lets say counterstrike GO(I know its SUPER popular but im just using it as an example to others)... and lets postulate that the average person stays in for 2 hours. (Personally, i can tell you that this is a significant low-ball. When I ran PSL the wait time would easily exceed 30 minutes for 32 people)

So a game like CS:GO you have (as of this moment) 520,000 players, playing at 2 hours, is $260,000 in a payout from this service... if they pay at $.25/hour

Thats pretty interesting and im curious what the total revenue has been in the two days they've been a service.

So Anthony, do you have a rough estimate of how many dollars have been through your service in 48 hours? I do understand that disclosing income stream and payout might help/harm depending on how folks read it. Even a PM would be nice.

By the way, this service looks extremely promising and I'm probably going to give it a shot. I just want to wait for proper feedback from the end-users

Yeah until youre stuck there holding the door for 55 people and now are caught in a conundrum... "Do i let go and be rude or do I keep holding it and feel awkward?"

Officers in MN do not ask if you are armed. I've been pulled over almost a dozen times and I've never been asked. from MPLS PD and mn highway patrol...

Mr Castile volunteered the information and i believe if he didnt say anything he'd have lived and would never been shot.

I carry. And both of the people that taught us said "never tell an officer you're carrying. just hand them your carry license with your driving license."

Ive been pulled over since carrying, ive had police show up at my house (i am not a criminal, just really shitty luck) and I have never once been asked to show proof or been asked if i am carrying.

Mr Castile, IMHO, would be alive if he didnt volunteer that info. Its a big scary red flag to a cop and they get on edge. I have cousins, uncles and other family that are police and they say the same thing. Shut up about your gun.

edit for the record, i believe the shooter should have been held accountable. This happened literally less than 4 blocks from my house. I just wonder how things would have went if castile didnt say anything about the firearm.
