I have no personal frame of reference for this opinion, but I imagine being a drug runner for the Mexican cartel (or any cartel) is loads more fun in a video game setting than in real life. The latter pays more I'm sure, but the stress, risk to life and limb, and persistent threat of jail time have me convinced to stick with legal employment. Not so for some GTA Online gamers who thought it a good idea to become meth mules.
It sounds wild (because it is), but apparently drug cartels sometimes use online multiplayer video games as a source for new blood. Back in October of last year, for example, Mexico's assistant public safety secretary, Ricardo Mejía, said a cartel recruiter purchased bus tickets for three teenagers between 11 and 14 years old.
The recruiter found the teens on Garena Free Fire, a popular online game, and offered them each $200 per week to serve as lookouts for the cartel. Authorities detained the teens before they boarded the bus, but Mejía told ABC News that other cartels have also recruited drug mules and lookouts through video games, including Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Grand Theft Auto V.
Now three months later, Forbes says it discovered that US officials have evidence showing GTA Online is also used as a recruitment tool for drug cartels.
It's not clear how long this has allegedly been going on, but according to the site, border agents stopped and inspected a Jeep Cherokee in Arizona last November and found almost 60 kilograms of methamphetamine. The driver, Alyssa Navarro, said a man named George first contacted her in GTA Online, through which they got to know each other over time.
Those in-game chats later pivoted over to Snapchat, where George raised the idea of being a runner, albeit for electronics to be sold in Mexico. Navarro claims she was offered up to $2,000 per trip, depending on the size of the load.
The only problem for Navarro is that the cartel allegedly hid meth in the Jeep's fuel tank. Authorities have charged Navarro with conspiracy to import and sell meth, and also possession, charges for which she has pleaded not guilty.
It remains to be seen how that case will turn out. Suffice to say, though, if someone online propositions you for an offer that seems too good to be true—or is outright illegal—it's best to politely decline.

Hello! I'm trying to remember the title of something I've read; it's either a manga or manhwa and it has a light novel as well.
Female Protag with long brown haiwhite and blue men's uniform (fancy with buttons) and works as some sort of history/decipher in fantasy setting.
​
From what I remember, female protag was part of noble family but stepmother(?) made her take potions to delay her body from being more fem and was raised as a male. Became an adult (20?) and was kicked out of the family and rented a room at an inn to unalive. She has dreams of 5 people who come to her to make a pact/contract that will make them live longer? Basically they need her alive for them to be alive or something like that.
The 5 are influential ppl, a dark mage, assassin, royal guard/knight, a teacher for an academy that looks like a little girl, and a old man that is the richest merchant or something. They help be MC's new family and enjoy life.
Last thing I remember is that MC infiltrates a all girls school (she girl but looks boy) to protect a girl that is assumed to be some sort of gold energy being?? A special being that worshipped by the two fairy guard brothers (dont quote me) and theres a trap at the school thats only activated by song of the special being.
If you can help, much appreciated!

We've finally made it... at last, we're on the Last Story. All 3 hedgehogs have had their stories lead up to this. How will it all end? Well, we're about to find out! Let us begin:
Somewhere in Soleanna's forest, Mephiles manages to get his hands on the purple Chaos Emerald, one which we haven't seen throughout this game. He finds Elise and Sonic walking through the field, and using the blinding power of the gem, comes up from behind the two when they least expect it, and (yes, I'm using language here, NO SHAME)... FUCKING KILLS SONIC by launching a beam of energy straight through his chest. Distraught by this, Elise manages to cry, unsealing Iblis after all these years. With the two halves of Solaris now freed, Mephiles calls on the Chaos Emerald he has to unite them together.
Meanwhile, in Dusty Desert, Team Dark is surrounded by a puddle of dark liquid from the army of Mephiles clones they took down at the end of Shadow's story. As he picks up and puts his Inhibitor Rings back on, the green and yellow Chaos Emeralds that were resting on the ground begin to glow, and the screen cuts to black. The next cutscene dramatically plays out, with Mephiles having all 7 Chaos Emeralds surrounding him (which I have NO clue where he got the blue and red ones from), and the two halves of Solaris finally coming together. A bright flash of light engulfs the entirety of Soleanna, where Amy, Tails, and Knuckles currently are.
Now in an endless void, all of the characters are found to be together, even Silver and Dr. Eggman have somehow appeared. Trying to figure out what was going on, Shadow and the others piece together the clues that Solaris has finally been reborn, but how is that possible? They then turn to see the dead body of Sonic resting against Princess Elise, realizing that this was all part of Mephiles' plan so she'd cry, and that EVERYONE, including Dr. Eggman, were played like cards in his hand.
As Amy mourns over the loss of the beloved blue hero, the princess senses Sonic's spirit in the wind, knowing that he's not dead yet, and that there's still time. Silver then comes up with the idea that he can be revived using the Chaos Emeralds' power, believing in the princess that she can bring him back. Dr. Eggman then analyzes where the fabled gems have gone, noting that Solaris scattered them all across time, and that the crew has to split up. Firm on their resolution, the group splits up, each setting out across the void to find them before it's too late.
And now it's time for... the End of the World. This final stage brings all 7 remaining characters - Tails, Omega, Knuckles, Silver, Rouge, Amy, and Shadow - on their quest to find the Chaos Emeralds before reality is destroyed by Solaris. This massive adventure split up into 7 sections, the first being with Tails in Crisis City as he searches for the yellow Emerald. His section plays out similar to Silver's level, with one major difference that can be considered the "gimmick" of this level.
Across all 7 portions of the stage, you'll come across these holes - called the "Eyes of Solaris" - that try to suck you in or toss objects at you. I really do like this idea as I think it's like Solaris' way of stopping you as you make your way towards each of the Chaos Emeralds, and one hit INSTANTLY kills you, even if you have Rings. You can briefly make them go away by touching a statue that lights up an orb, but it isn't long before they come back again. What I DON'T like, though? Well, that's coming up in a bit.
After Tails gets the yellow Emerald, the perspective switches to Omega, who's located in Flame Core as he's searching for the green Emerald. Again, it's mostly the same as before, and I believe you're in... I wanna say it's probably Shadow's part of the stage, but really, I have no idea since I feel like all the characters can share the same damn level at times like with White Acropolis, so I don't know which part you're exactly playing through. Anyways, Omega's hover ability will really come in handy here, as you can use it to skip most enemies (which is DEFINITELY recommended since time is literally of the essence here to save Sonic). Make your way up the lava-fall and grab the green Chaos Emerald and get the heck outta there!
The 3rd part of the stage takes place in Rouge's and Silver's Tropical Jungle level, only this time you're controlling Knuckles. Once again, you'll want to take the same approach as you did in Tails' and Omega's sections and not worry about combat and instead trying to find the cyan Emerald that's hidden somewhere here. Use the gliding ability that Knuckles has to land on certain platforms and you can skip basically the entire section. You may have to do some climbing on walls to glide to where the Emerald is, but other than that, his section should be a breeze. Grab that gem and GO!
I should also mention that the Eyes you come across can also suck in enemies and nearby objects, which can be incredibly helpful and harmful at the same time when you're trying to make it through the stage as quickly as possible. I do like how not even Iblis' monsters themselves are not safe from the wrath of Solaris, so it's like EVERYTHING is trying to stop you from making it to the end. But they won't stop the hope to revive Sonic!
Keeping on with the stage, the 4th section has Silver navigating through Sonic's portion of Dusty Desert, using his psychokinesis and hover abilities to make his way through the treacherous landscape and find the silver Chaos Emerald. And... well, I'm just gonna say this: I didn't like this section at all. Not one bit. Why is that, you may ask? Well, it's surprisingly simple, and it's a reason that'll come up again with another character not that far down the line:
SILVER IS SO FUCKING SLOW
I swear to God, he moves at the speed of freakin' molasses, and that's not exactly helpful when you're trying to dodge those Eyes that try to suck you in and KILL YOU IN ONE HIT. It's even worse when objects come flying out of nowhere, hit and knock you back and into the things you can't even see and give you no chance of escape! There are quite a few points where I was literally saying to my TV, "COME ON, MOVE IT, SILVER!!!" because he's just moving along at a strolling pace when he should be, I don't know... running to get the gem? Ugh.
Thank God he has the Teleport Dash upgrade you can buy for him in his story, as it'll be quite helpful when trying to escape the pull of Solaris. I believe this is the only time in the game I actually found that ability to be useful for him, because I barely remember using it AT ALL in his main story other than trying it out at various places in Soleanna's hub areas. But, anyways, you get through his section like all the ones before him and the ones after him: make it to the end and avoid any enemies that come in your way, using the orb thingies to temporarily cause the Eyes of DEATH to go away. Get the silver Emerald and meet up with the others!
The 5th section sends you to Tails' portion of Wave Ocean as you glide across the waterways with Rouge in search of the purple Emerald. You can use the same strategy here that you did with Knuckles since you don't need to worry about combat and should climb the pillars, jump off, and glide on through, only really landing to activate the orbs. Compared to Silver's section, this part is actually quite a breeze, so make your way to the gem like the good treasure hunter Rouge is and now there's only 2 more left to get!
Things are getting rather chilly, as now we're in White Acropolis for the 6th portion of the stage with Amy making her way towards the blue Emerald. She's finding herself on the lower route of Rouge's and Tails' segment, and she has to use her hammer and double jumping prowess to get by. 6th verse is somehow same as the 1st, so try to get by all the enemies doing as little combat as necessary and focus on using the orbs and making your way towards the Emerald. However, there's one major problem I have with this section that also happens with Silver, and it's that just like her partner, Amy is SO UNBELIVABLY SLOW. I don't know why this is, but this really bothers me especially when I'm trying to get away from the Death Eyes which still instantly kill you. The good news is that this section is relatively short-lived, so the pain doesn't last for very long. Get that blue diamond and now it's all up to the Ultimate Lifeform!
The 7th and final section of the stage revolves around Shadow as he makes his way through the ruins of Kingdom Valley to find the red Chaos Emerald, the last of them to be found. Much like Flame Core's segment, I have no idea which character's part of the stage you're going through, because I'm mainly trying to make it to the end of the stage. Just like before, make it to the end of the stage doing as little combat as possible and use the orbs to take out the Eyes of Solaris, ride the eagle, and complete the stage as you grab the final Chaos Emerald! And... that's a wrap on the End of the World!
Wow... what a stage. I will say this about it: Even though there were a few problems I had with this stage, which included the slowness of Silver and Amy, sometimes the wonkiness of the camera causing you to get hit by things you can't even see, and getting a Game Over on ANY section - yes, even the last Shadow section, which DID happen to me - causes you to do the ENTIRE thing again starting back at Tails' Crisis City segment. But those issues didn't stop me from enjoying the stage as a whole, as I did enjoy the gimmick of traversing through nearly every stage of the game (except for Aquatic Base and Radical Train) only with Solaris hot on your trail. This is one of those levels that would indeed work had this game been given more time in the oven, because this was quite the fun trek!
With the cast reunited and all 7 Chaos Emeralds gathered, Princess Elise says a prayer, wanting to talk to Sonic and save the world once again. She then kisses Sonic (why?...), and that, with the power of the gems, revives the blue hero and transforms him into Super Sonic. He thanks Elise as he falls to her knees, and then Shadow and Silver join in and transform themselves. With the 3 super-powered hedgehogs transformed, they blast off into the sky, everybody cheering them on from below.
And here it comes... the final battle. The battle is split into 2 phases and every character is used in their own way. You start with Super Silver and use the meteors that Solaris throws at you and damage his left arm. It may not do much damage, but keep it up and it will eventually shatter. From there, switch to Super Shadow and use the Chaos abilities he has and damage the right arm in the same way. Just remember to keep moving! Once that's done, switch to Super Sonic and keep boosting into the core and Phase 1 is complete!
However... it's not over yet. The god comes back up and goes absolutely out of control as an orchestrated version of "His World" plays in the background. You need to constantly switch between all 3 hedgehogs and deal damage to his core, but it's best if you attack it while it's firing a laser at you since it exposes the weak point. Silver may unfortunately not be of much use here, so you'll want to rely on Sonic and Shadow. However, keep it up and he goes down, ENDING SOLARIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
As the 3 hedgehogs land back in front of the other heroes, time and space is restored and we eventually see the Duke and young Elise come across the true form of Solaris. He explains that once it grows, they can eventually get control of time and that Elise can eventually see her mother again. As they walk away, the current form of the Princess and Sonic walk up to the flame and take it into their hands. She says that if they were to blow it out, the Flames of Disaster incident would have never happened and that everything would continue on, but that she would have never met Sonic. She tears up slightly saying that the truth is that she doesn't care what happens to the world, but Sonic tells her to just smile and that it'll all be okay.
With that, she does so and blows out the flame, sending everything back to the Soleanna Festival that was seen at the start of the game. Sonic can be seen running by at one point, wanting to get a view. As he speeds by, he creates a wind which Elise calls somehow familiar to her. One of the feathers from her hair floats up into the air and passes in front of the moon, which Sonic is viewing from a rooftop, and the screen fades to black, ending Sonic '06.
And that's the game. Hard to believe it all ends with it acting like it never existed in the first place, but it all ends where it all began. I don't have anything else to say other than this game surprised me more than I initially thought it would. I came into this game expecting it to be bad and what I came across was something that had tons of potential that never got to be fleshed out.
So... what do I think about this game as a whole? Honestly... I simply don't know. It might take me a bit to decide what I truly think about it all, since this game did quite a few things good and a few things bad. But all I can say is, I'm glad I can finally put this game behind me and I don't have to play this game again... unless I decide to play Project '06 in the future, that is, and I probably will... once I find a way to.
Now, I think it's time I play a LOT of Sonic Generations. I'll see you all next time with another take on a new Sonic game!!

This is going to be a long post, sorry. I've tried this out here previously, to mixed results. Ive had no real luck on here or any other various apps. Which is why I generally try to keep my expectations low, however, this is the 2nd weekend my dates have been canceled on me. I'm really just trying to keep myself same & my brain occupied, or i may just go crazy. Apparently, since I didn't settle down in my 20's, any type of dating life has become a nightmare & it seems to get worse the older ya get. Friends are married with kids & their own life so I gotta look out for me. Is what it is, just the reality of life. I've posted the following before but nothing has much changed other than getting a week older so im just going to use that. I said it was going to be long.
normally I post on dirtyatx4r, not for any real reason other than im not exactly looking for any "love of my life relationship" type of deal. I wouldn't want to clutter up this sub with this kind of post, however, seems that maybe since im also not looking for a quick meet up, it's not really suited for there either. I am more looking for casual in the laid back sense. I don't want to hold expectations for anyone I happen to meet up with for serious dating inquiries or even a hook up. I prefer to let things happen, i dont believe in the ability to push for any type of relationship without a vibe. This is not a no strings attached but not all the strings either.
Lately, I never know if my work schedule is going to get busy or not, but currently, it's not, so I would like to take full advantage of that current freedom. I work full time at night, so night owls are preferable, it's what I have to work with, so that's how it goes. I'm looking for a fun lady to chat with, possibly meet up however, I dont hold any reservations on if things work out that way. I mainly go via vibe. If we vibe through chat & picture exchange, Then very cool. However, I am not going to just meet up without chatting first. Also, if you dont think the screen name is funny, we probably wont get along. I only made it because I was surprised it was available and got a good chuckle out of "Butt Stuff" its always a funny term to me. Nothing is actually implied about it.
Quick about me, I am 40 (although I look more mid-30s) single, white, trimmed beard, a few visible tattoos, 6'2", dad bod but roughly 215 Lbs, shortish hair (although, I should really get a haircut) I do have pics but will only send/ask for SFW photos. I am single, no kids, no ex-drama, etc. Just the normal amount of baggage that a guy in Austin with little luck here has. Im kink/sex positive & prefer the same. i define it as a judgment free zone and you like what you like, and want the same type of thing in return. open, honest and direct communication is key with any type of relationship (friends, dating, etc) & that's what I want. if you are scared about communicating then, im probably not for you. All in all not terrible if you ask me, I feel I am pretty sane. I enjoy getting out to Karaoke, however, I dont drink but I dont care if you do.
I am looking for ladies only, prefer 30+, fun, smart, willing to engage in actual conversation about whatever comes up. Please be in the Austin/central Texas area, I prefer no one with kids, but beggars cant be choosers. But seriously, I've had ladies not in the area message & if you don't regularly come to austin, what's the point really. Texas is too big & im not driving that far for anything. I really just would like to have a good time, at least a good time chatting with someone cool. So if you are cool, shoot me a message or an IM. I've been around and can sniff out the Bs pretty quickly, so if you are one of those who do that sort of thing, please dont waste my time. Its a bummer. Also, I prefer to have open conversation, so if you don't feel a vibe, feel free to say so, im an adult and you can say so, i dont bother or bitch if you don't care to chat after chatting for a while. But if you want to ghost as well, i figure it out after a bit & i get it, no response after awhile means that you ain't into it and again, i am not going to bother with people who are not on the same level. Im not going to require a message with "your favorite color in the title/message" because if you get it, you get it & if you didn't, it's easy to catch.
Hope this piques an interest in a cool lady, so happy hunting.

My ma plays DbD, she plays a lot more than me actually. We are in a disagreement atm about DH, I was just in a couple matches where I used DH during deep wound, one was a Hunk Legion and the other was against a tunneling wraith. I used DH while inflicted with the deep wound effect and well... It worked like normal? It made me turn white and run off and it reset my deep wound timer. I came downstairs to talk to her and I saw she didn't even try to DH against this tunneling Mike, she said it was because it Doesnt work while deep wound is inflicted. She told me it doesn't work when she tries and TTVs/YTbers say you can't DH during that time.
She says it must be a bug but ever since the new DH came out I've always been able to take hits during deep wound, is it actually a bug or is she just not timing her DH right?
Ive googled this and got conflicting answers, is why I'm coming to Reddit.

Starting about a week ago my throat started to feel sore but only on the right side. I’ve had tonsil stones for a while, but they never really bothered me. Maybe once every week maybe two weeks I’ll give them a push and make sure they’re cleaned out, I was really busy with work and parenting every night I just passed out and I honestly didn’t think much of it because my son was really sick with a cold and thought I might’ve just got what he had
it wasn’t until I had the day off (Tuesday) but I took the time to look at the back of my throat and noticed that my right tonsil was extremely swollen, bright red, and had white on it. As always assumed that it was just the normal tonsil stones but I had just forgot them for a while, so I cleaned out the stones on Tuesday night, used my prescribed mouthwash, and gargled saltwater to help with the inflammation. I’ve been gargling salt water every single day and using my prescribed mouthwash every morning I wake up, my tonsils are full of white again and now on my left side my tonsil is completely white, but has no stone inside it just the outside of the tonsil is white, it’s hard for me to get to a clinic I’ve called six places near me all aren’t taking walk-ins. Usually once I clear out my tonsil stones if there bothering me it takes one clean out and gargling salt water for the day and I’m back to normal but it’s been four days and my tonsils are just getting whiter and whiter especially on the left side, which is weird because that tonsil was totally fine. The swelling has gone down on the right, but it still hurts to swallow only on the right side. Another thing to note was on Monday I participated in oral on my male friends with benefits. So maybe it’s an STI? I don’t think that it’s strep because I’ve had strep before I haven’t lost my voice. I don’t have a cough. It’s just my right side where it hurts to swallow but like I said, swelling has gone down, but my tonsils are still super white, even immediately after I clean them use salt, water, and mouthwash they’re still bright white. I should also add before I am this I do smoke cigarettes, nothing else, about five a day as I’m currently trying to quit. Any advice helps. I’m trying to find a walk in clinic for tomorrow, but this whole thing is really stressing me out. Thank you!

May be cliche but for me have him be a crime boss who is slowly taking out the other crime families. As for design I would have him have a white tux with the gold death mask of the pharohs and a ankh as a pin on the suit. with a cane that has Set the god storms, deserts and violence head on it

- Prologue -
Palestar hissed at Hollowpelt and pawed their face aggressively, Hollowpelt retaliated by raking his claws at Palestar's face, giving Palestar a scar across their eye, refusing to yowl in anger, Palestar started raking at Hollowpelt across their white torso and bit Hollowpelt's neck, so hardly that Hollowpelt dropped dead, Palestar yowled in victory and ran to their clan's clearing to boast about their victorious kill,
"Everyone! Hollowpelt is dead, i killed them!" Palestar yowled pridefully, licking the blood off of their paw and eye,
"Shut up and go to the dark forest, raw slave-made chicken!" Nightpelt meowed rudely, Nightpelt gestured to Palestar that Nightpelt was going to kill them and take every one of their remaining 4 lives, slowly,
Palestar then padded to their den to sleep,

-1 DAY LATER-
____
Palestar woke, yowl's piercing their ears as they awoke, the exiles had attacked the camp, Palestar's peach-fur arose as Palestar galloped to their blood-stained clearing, Bloodclaw and Palestar teaming to beat down Gwagwa, Gwagwa pinned down by palestar,
"I used to be your friend, Gwagwa, now you are the person i resent the most!" Palestar yowled in absolute wrath as they were blinded by Gwagwa pawing at their eyes, Gwagwa taking the pin, brutally trying to rip Palestar's ear off.

They really should get divorced. For a successful marriage, you need to respect each other and indiviual beliefs even if they are polar opposites. WHICH NEITHER OF THEM DO.
Let's start with Mahmoud- he clearly has a thing for "exotic" woman. Nicole as a blonde blue eyed white American woman, is clearly exotic to him. I feel like he doesnt like anything about her beside her looks and his delusion that he can convert her to be the "perfect" submissive muslim wife.
Oh now for Nicole, wow.. she is also delusional as well. I dont know who converts to Islam without even researching the basics of the religion, she doesnt even know what it means to be a muslim or the significance of marriage in Islam. She didnt even HAVE TO convert, muslim men are allowed to marry outside of their religion (only to christians/jews) BUT SHE IRRITATED TF OUT OF ME, did she learn nothing from her previous trips to Egypt?
Not to side with Mahmoud and the safety issue but it is really not a fully safe country for women and the male gaze is intense, even non religious women dress more conservative to indicate they are married. Men will literally ask for your hand in marriage even after you are married (particularly if you dont dress conservatively) or convince you to divorce your husband and they pay you/buy you material goods in return. So of course Mahmoud is going to ask her to cover up. Not sure why she decided marrying into an extremely conservative muslim family, when she isn't conservative herself. Dont know why she moved to Egypt either...where she clearly doesn't respect their customs or the lifestyle.
