So when you activate your second camp, all the items in display cases in your first camp are not locked to it.
They're put into your stash.

So if you made your second camp and then started building... it can end up using those as scrap, or you could end up just forgetting they're there and lose them.

I luckily just noticed this when I looked into the junk area and thought "hey wait... did I get another jangles the moon monkey? I don't remember that", took it out then activated my first camp again to test and sure enough it's gone from the display case.

This seems like a pretty big oversight.

Today I was going around the player vendors when I realized some of them sell stuff for extremely cheap, like plans for 5 caps, chems for 2, and one selling ultracite plasma cartridges for 1 cap.

But twice, while I was buying stuff, someone would come up and start meleeing me and pushing me away. I assume once I get pushed far enough away it kicks me out.
When I exit they then start immediately vending.

They were much higher level than me so if I punched them back they would absolutely instakill me if I wasn't on pacifist.

One time it was two dudes both high level and dressed as ncr rangers meleeing me away.

Are they just impatient? Or are they trying to get rid of me because they think I might buy something they want? Is this normal?

Also bonus question, is there etiquette I have to follow for vendors and player homes? I thought that if something isn't locked they don't really care if you take it, as long as you don't go insane with greed. Like they're hoping people that need stuff take it.

At level like... 10 I think I found a player vendor and took some water, a few crops, some food from inside a crate and some ammo. But shortly after the owner of said vendor shot at me and then the whole thing disappeared so... I'm not supposed to do that?

This is the dumbest question I've ever posted by far.

I think Rocket Raccoon is attractive. I'm a furry.
But most people think this makes me a zoophile for some reason? Because "He's literally a raccoon and an ANIMAL."

He walks on two legs, talks, wears clothes, swears, shoots guns, drinks booze, is a genius, invents technology, flies ships and even on occasion flirts with women.
But any time I mention that I think he's hot, people get very angry and disgusted and tell me "He's LITERALLY AN ANIMAL, what the FUCK" and imply that I'm a zoophile.

So why is it different for him in particular? Finding other people that don't immediately recoil in disgust and get pissed at me for this is extremely rare.

Hell in the game Marvel Rivals, Rocket Raccoon is in it.
There are sexy gooner skins for almost all the characters, but not Rocket. Even Captain America has a skin where he has a huge bulge and his ass is accentuated.

Any time I insinuate they should do one for Rocket, people get extremely disgusted at me, call me a zoophile, say I'm a disgusting fucked up degenerate freak and I need to fuck off forever or even end my own life because I'm a "disgusting vile zoophile".

I don't understand this.
If someone thought Bugs Bunny was hot they wouldn't call them a zoophile. They'd just be a furry. If someone found Alduin from Skyrim hot they'd be a scaly or "oh you're into dragons".
Why is it different for Rocket and Rocket only?

Not a big fan of getting cancer. Do we have protections in place to prevent this from being sprayed on crops here? Or do they just abide by the broader regulations?

They're going to be dumping toxic pfa pesticides and herbicides on crops across all of America. If you eat corn, wheat, soybeans, peas, broccoli, kale, coffee, and probably literally anything, you'll be eating it.

Is there really nothing that can be done about this? If you want to eat food and not starve to death, you'll be eating it? Organic doesn't work because these farms are next to non organic ones and the spraying drifts over. And it gets into the ground and the water too. So if you drink water you'll be drinking it.

So are we all just doomed? Move to another country or you're gonna get horribly sick and die of cancer? I don't want to get cancer.

Even if another president happens it will be too late, it will already be in the ground and all the crops and in us and I doubt another president would even undo this, or even could seeing how the supreme court is fully in favor of it.

What can we do?

Any time I make a post on Reddit asking a question I don't know the answer to, I get downvoted. Even in the replies of me just thanking someone who told me the answer, I'll go to like -3.

Say there's a tech help sub.
I'm having an issue where my gpu light keeps going white, which means there's a problem, but nothing bad ever happens and even when I reseat it and restart the computer it still does it. Is it okay to just ignore it since it seems to not actually be doing anything?

And the post would be downvoted. Someone would reply saying "Yeah you can just ignore that, it just happens sometimes." They'd go to 8, but me replying saying "Thank you! I was hoping it was just that" goes to -4?

Or say there's a sub that claims it's friendly and helpful to new players of the game.
Being a new player, I ask a question, like maybe something about seasons or raids or something.
All the people replying and being helpful get upvoted a bunch, but my post and all my replies get downvoted to like -1.

I don't understand this. Why is this a thing?

All the replies are nice, there's nobody calling me a dumbass, nobody is being mean, but the people upvoting and downvoting are upvoting all the helpful people and downvoting me. Why?

This happens to me all the time, and I see it happen to others too pretty frequently.

Like someone will ask on r/oblivion how to fix a bugged quest or something, and the replies will be helpful and tell them, but the post sits at 0 and they're "Thank you so much!" reply goes to -1.

So the entire point of the show all along was Jax?

It's basically catharsis for the creator.

We thought we were watching this super creative, cute but dark at the edges, fun lore filled universe about all the different characters and their struggles and their (mostly Pomni's) want to escape, but all it was all along was basically vent art about the creator's past trauma and struggles.

Apparently, afaik, Jax is literally Gooseworx. Before Gooseworx transitioned, she was a struggling, angry, depressed person who lashed out at people and pushed friends away. She WAS Jax.
The real version of Jax in the real world has gotten better and is living a much more stable life and turning things around, and has come out of the closet. Just like Gooseworx did.

So in the end... the whole thing was made around the character Jax and Gooseworx's personal trauma since the beginning. Everything else was to make that believable and to make the world come more alive, but the entire point was Jax.

Is that right?

I see people say something like this sometimes, that we know things "get better" because of Gunsaw.

But... Gunsaw has them all killing each other on a horrible wretched dystopian planet afaik.

It's not a good future if that's the case, it's actually pretty bad. None of them seem to live in peace or be having a good life, they're all slaughtering each other with weapons and dying gruesomely. Pretty much the exact same thing that's happening in C:U except maybe even worse because they're all killing each other off.

So... is that really the future the Expies have to look forward to? That nothing we accomplish in C:U matters all that much because what comes after isn't really better?

I'm level 26.

Every event I go to has a bunch of super high level people there. All over level 100, and some even as high as level 400+, or even 1200. Or maybe those are ranks...?

I can barely get any prime meat at the hunts because they kill all the prime beasts so fast, and when someone else kills an npc I can't get anything from it, only bosses.
Plus, by the time the Meat Cook event happens, all my prime meat has spoiled because it takes so long for it to happen. I even have the perk that makes food last longer.

Then I go to the campfire stories one and it's a bunch of level 200+ guys.
They slaughter everything and blast through all the collection stuff in like 2 seconds and then it's over super fast. I can't loot any of the enemies because they kill them all with laser miniguns and tons of explosions super fast.

I have Fallout 1st but I already built a nice base and have a bunch of stuff in my stash and don't want to start all over in a private world... plus some of these events are incompletable for me at my level. I don't want to miss out so I kinda help a bit and then get the rewards and hear the dialogue and stuff.

Should I just wait for these events until I'm higher level so high level players don't just slaughter everything super quick and leave me with nothing?

This has now happened to me for the fourth time. I got a notif saying I've been permanently banned from a sub, and in the modmail they tell me they don't want people that use AI there.

The \"your post\" links to my post on the sub which didn't violate any rules. They just deleted it and then banned me after seeing me talk about AI in another sub.

My post had nothing to do with AI whatsoever.

Tried to argue it, saying I never discussed AI in the sub, I don't post AI creations of mine online, everything I do is private and I don't share "slop", and I mostly only use it to make little games for myself. I said I still commission artists and that I even just got a commission done.

I just got this

So basically, they will search you up on Reddit and see if you post about AI, and if you do they will delete all of your posts and then ban you. They don't give a shit if you're following their rules, they hate AI.

And this is not the only sub that does this. A lot of them do. They will literally look at your profile to see if you post about AI and then if you are pro-ai, or talk about using AI, or post in AI spaces, they permanently ban you and then will mute you if you try and defend yourself.

These same people would get pissed if they got banned for an opinion they had off-sub about something unrelated to the sub, just because a moderator or the owner of the sub didn't agree.

But they act like using or liking AI is a judge of your character, that it makes you a bad person that they don't want in their sub.

Oh I almost forgot that some of them will report your modmail for harassment if you argue (even if aren't breaking any rules or being aggressive), and because Reddit always agrees with subreddit mods, you'll get banned.

This is pathetic and stupid.

Update: They said I'm "entitled" for arguing about their decision to ban me, and then permanently muted me.

My CQS score is highest. It's always highest. Every time I check it's highest.

A couple years ago, Reddit suddenly flagged my account as spam for no reason, even though I didn't do anything. Ever post on every sub was marked as spam and deleted by Reddit itself automatically.

It was extremely hard, and I had to find some good subs and have the moderators manually approve my posts before it let up a bit.

But it didn't let up everywhere...

The more strictly controlled subs that have stronger auto moderation on still get my posts auto deleted by Reddit.

Here's the issue though...

Mods never respond to my modmails anymore.

Ever.

Doesn't matter what I say, if I'm respectful, if I include a lot of detail, link to the post, no matter what I say or what I do they are ALL ignored.

Are my modmails being marked as spam too and mods aren't even seeing them? Are they seeing that Reddit thinks they're suspicious and thinking "ah this guy is probably a spammer I'll just not reply to this."?
Do they think I'm a bot?

There are a bunch of subs that I can't use, large and popular subs, and mods will not look at my modmail. I can't get my posts approved, I'm just ignored, so I can literally NEVER use those subs, EVER.

Is there nothing I can do about this?

Can't post it on the Claude subs because... everything I post there is instantly deleted.

None of them allow you to post unless your post is written like you study AI and have a PHD in it and technology.

If your post isn't filled with links, sources, "proof", and extremely well thought out and absurdly detailed, they delete it. They only want people posting in any of those subs if they're like "Based on my observations from my 32 years in the tech industry, and the countless research I've done, I believe that..."

I have never seen such snobby, pretentious and elitist subs on Reddit in all my life.
But then again Claude itself is snobby and pretentious.

I just wanted to make a post asking about a difference between the two, why Claude won't do something but ChatGPT will, why Claude will filter and judge you but ChatGPT will gladly do it, but then in other cases Claude will happily do it and ChatGPT won't.

Like ChatGPT refuses to directly edit rom files and give them to you because of copyright, but Claude will gladly do this.
But then if you're making a game, ChatGPT will gladly put violent things in it, and Claude will block you and judge you heavily.

I can't make this post on ANY of the Claude subs because they ALL delete my post and say it's not "substantive" enough and I need to post sources, proof, and do research. Some of them only allow one post a day, so if you fail once then you're done.

Throwers, sabotaging your own team, leavers... it's insane how common it all is.

And the worst part?

Nobody cares.

Nobody treats ranked like ranked. They treat it like QP 2.

And there's so many drunk and high people in ranked... I'm in Diamond and I keep getting them on my team. They're terrible and we lose with them.

The people that do this see no problem with it, and if you complain about it you get downvoted and called a dumbass because "just let people have fun, spoil sport".

Nah they can't just play QP drunk or high, they gotta join ranked and throw your match and make you lose because "bruh i'm just here to have fun lol" and everyone is supposed to accept that and be okay with it because it's "just a game" and "you play games to have fun".

Doesn't matter that there's QP and other modes for you to mess around it, you're a spoil sport bitch if you complain about people not being serious in the COMPETITIVE and RANKED game mode where the entire point is to GET BETTER and RANK UP.

I don't fucking get it it makes no sense, this community drives me insane.

Say someone makes art. It was relatively affordable by most people. It was good. They'd do discount days sometimes, and even if you couldn't afford a full-body piece, they had half-body pieces you could or YCHs. Anyone could get something.
Then all of a sudden one day, they decide "I want a lot of money so I'm going to skyrocket the price so it's only affordable by rich people."
Then their commissions are priced around $8k.

If you complain about this, you're a terrible person and get a LOT, a LOT of angry people getting very very mad about how "It's their business they can do whatever the fuck they want, if you don't like it then FUCK OFF. It's their choice, why do you think you're ENTITLED to it? You sound like an insufferable narcissistic prick. If you want art so bad then pick up a pencil and DO IT YOURSELF and stop being lazy."
They are defended extremely fiercely and very angrily and viciously. I personally have complained about this one and I can say I have never received more negativity and hate coming my way in all my life.

Or a game company starts putting out tons of microtransactions. It's annoying, it sucks, a lot of these are things you would really, REALLY want but they're priced very high.
If you complain, you'll get swarmed by the "It's literally a business, what you don't want them to make money? You want their developers to fucking STARVE? They need to make money somehow dumbass, it's a BUSINESS."

Then the Warner Discovery merger. If you complain about it, then you get swarmed by people mad at you because again "This is business" and "Why wouldn't they do what makes them money?" and "This is good for the shareholders and you don't have stake in the company so shut up."

And take Elon Musk. The most greedy individual on the entire planet. Literally the richest man on earth. You don't get that rich without being a greedy, selfish piece of shit.
People defend him and kiss his ass and suck his dick CONSTANTLY. So many people play defense for this guy and even worship him like he's a god. I see so many posts about how he's a genius, he's the smartest man alive, he's basically a philanthropist, he's going to save us, he's amazing, everyone is "just jealous" of his success.

I don't understand this.

The longer an artist makes art, the higher their prices raise over time. Either because they keep getting increasing bills, medical costs, inflation and higher cost of living, because of the calculation of years working + time spent learning + hours put in = price, or all of the above.

If an artist has been working for a long time, and has honed their craft a lot, they usually become exorbitantly expensive and not at all affordable for the average person.

I'll see commissions of digital art go for around $2k, YCHs where some spots are around $1.2k, and short looped 5 second animations for $2k.
Some are even crazier and have prices like 5k for a full body, 3k for spots in a YCH, and 6k for a short looped animation.

A lot of artists eventually end up opening only around 3-5 slots a year, auctions for those slots that only go to the richest and highest bidders.

The only people that end up paying for these eventually are popufurs and those that commission TONS of art and have a massive amount of money for this kind of thing. They'll even bid in the comments against each other and when you look, they're all recognizable people that get tons of art all the time because they're rich.

Do you think this is right? I know art is a "luxury item", but do you think it's correct that lots of artists will go from being affordable to everyone, to being only affordable by the wealthy?
