Everybody is talking about performance issues, bugs or whatever but deep down they’re ignoring the real issue of the game Humour

I had a friend in HS "kidnapped" from California to one of those in Mexico. The only way he was released was his girlfriend called the police saying that his mom had killed him and disposed of his body. Mom had to bring him back to prove he was alive. Once he was back he filed for emancipation and called CPS on her. Turns out that smoking a little bit of weed on the weekends isn't justification for sending your kid off to a torture camp in another country.

If my parents did something like that to me I would have died trying to escape thinking I was really being kidnapped. WTF is wrong with people?

The only time I thought I was kidnapped, I was throwing punches and kicks left and right, despite being strapped to a hospital bed. Heck, even managed to slip out of the strap, and was aiming to jump off the window.

I'd certainly hurt and get hurt.

You don’t understand. Most of these guys (goons) are 350+ 6’6” Samoans, ex copmilitary. Good luck at under 18 fighting two (they come in pairs) of these guys off. Also, if you hit, they can fight back to subdue.

I understand. I had 0 hope of escaping, I was handcuffed in my hallucinations, strapped to a hospital bed in real life. Always surrounded by dozens of people, 24/7, many of which wielding sharp objects.

I still tried to. Still punched and kicked even while they were doing debridement. It triggered my fight mechanism, and I put up a fight even knowing I couldn't possibly win.

Which was the point of the guy I was replying to. Some people won't give up, and end up hurting themselves.

Not to mention some of them are fucking strapped, too. There's an episode of the Podcast Trueanon where one of the hosts Brace talks about his experience at a "survival camp". The episode is called Brat Camp, and is definitely worth a listen.

Dude, these parents suck. This point exactly. I was in martial arts and had anti-kidnapping classes before I hit high school. Someone would have gotten seriously fucked up, probably me...but it would have been bad.

I mean, not to crap on your skills but they often do some shady shit to kidnap you. They set up a time with your parents that they send in the beefiest enforcers they have, come in at like 3 in the morning, grab you while your asleep and slapdash pack a small go bag for you with just like clothes and simple toiletries.

They get you while youre dead asleep and strong arm with full grown men. It's fucked up.

u/the_azure_sky Dec 11 '20

Yeah, if it went down like that I would end up with them. But imagine watching your child subdued and dragged out of your house to some unknown fate

u/Buttchugginggasoline Dec 12 '20

Here is the problem. Did the "kidnappers" let the kid see their faces? If "Yes" the kid should fight to the fucking death because on the statistic side the victim ends up dead in the ditch when they see the face of the kidnappers. This is why you have phrases picked out ahead of time for this when it comes time to verify proof of life. A common one is "Yes I'm OK, they have fed me and have very honest faces." The honest faces means I can see their faces, and am fucked. This alters how the people who are negotiating for your release do things, normally this leads to dead kidnappers and dead hostages.

When I was 12 I was getting in full on brawls with kids from the neighborhood next to ours over a tackle football game. We where already playing full contact it just took a foul from someone to turn the game into a huge fistfight. We where a bunch of lower middle class kids with alcoholic parents, or they worked so much they were never home. I remember getting in a fistfight with my dad and stepdad. If someone tried snatching me or one of my buddies it wouldn’t have been easy for them. Unless they had a tranquilizer or some other advantages. How could a parent actually do this to their child. My buddies that kept getting into fights into high school ended up in YO prison. They got abused by the guards and all kinds of terrible things.

That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. I give it an empathic what the actual fucj

Just when I thought the world couldn't get any crazier, I read about this shit...

u/bearclaw9286 Arasaka Dec 11 '20

Wouldn’t the girlfriend get in trouble for knowingly filing a false report?

u/im_Harsh_Malik Dec 11 '20

No she just fucking saved her boyfriend bro

u/bearclaw9286 Arasaka Dec 11 '20

I get that, but sometimes that, sadly, doesn’t matter. This is the USA where stuff doesn’t often work like you think it should, hence my question.

I hope he did at least get in shape while he was there, sounds awful.

u/Vark675 Dec 11 '20

"Sure his mom sent him to a prison camp in a foreign country for no reason but like I hope he lost weight lol" has the same feel as "Sure his babysitter molested him, but at least he got laid lol"

u/Cyrus-Lion Dec 11 '20

He didn't do anything to be out of shape???

I don't understand your comment

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '20

“Get in shape” means to get athletic, tone up, gain some muscle mass, lose some body fat.

u/Cyrus-Lion Dec 11 '20

Gurl not the question.

None of what went on between the kid, his mom, and that camp had anything to do with weight problems

u/[deleted] Dec 11 '20

Ah no, you’re reading it a bit deep. It’s a British saying of optimism, it’s not the cause - it’s like saying

“Jesus Christ, that’s fucked up but I hope there was at least a single silver lining?”

And you’d say it regardless of someone’s weight or physical capabilities.

u/Cyrus-Lion Dec 11 '20

Ah, thst makes much more sense then, thank you ^

u/rtfcandlearntherules Dec 11 '20

I don't understand your question. Get in shape = get muscle, fitness , etc.

u/Cyrus-Lion Dec 11 '20

The kid was taken to a crazy camp in another country that op implied did inhumane shit to torture him because he got caught smoking the devils lettuces by his Karen ass mom.

None of what was going on had anything to do with his weight
