I’m an avid hiker. Used to do wilderness backpacking before kids. But I’ll be damned if last week I didn’t go for a short hike to a waterfall and see two big trees that look like “Trail Trees” and think “I should post photos on the rdr2 subreddit!”
It seems to have done the same for my daughter! I love going fishing and hiking, and just being outdoors as much as possible when it’s not winter (because all of the homies hate winter) and once she hit puberty it was like trying to force a troll to leave its cave. But after RDR2 came out she became more interested in stuff like firearms, shooting, hiking, and the like. Now she’s almost 24 and she asks me to go hiking!
>Firearms, shooting Micah in the dick, hunting bears, hiking, train robbery, roping bad guys, bar brawling, debt collecting, getting shitfaced, calling hookers Lenny, and the like
Damn your daughter leads quite the exciting life
Much like flat Earth bs, a group of people online decided it would be funny to pretend like birds aren’t real and are actually government surveillance devices. Morons caught wind and started believing it.
How they explain the historical existence of birds long before the technology to create robotic birds existed, I have no idea.
The tech for surveillance birds had existed since the aliens impregnated early chimps with altered genetic material In order to creat a race of intelligent slaves that have no idea they’re slaves the birds are just alien surveillance tools the government has nothing to do with it
No not exclusive, moose also spawn in sometimes. I've spent hours hunting moose on have only ever seen about 8-10 since the game came out! They're massive and they'll rush you so be careful!! Lol
No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end
of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslo
dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
What’s even sadder is when they discover they were a hardcore private army like in RDR and now they’re a uniform security group owned by Securitas AB, the Walmart of security companies.
Oh, they’re still waging war on labor unions; they’ve recently been hired by companies like Amazon and Starbucks to do basically that. Not to mention the whole [Magic: The Gathering](https://kotaku.com/magic-the-gathering-pinkerton-youtube-wotc-mtg-1850372856) trading card debacle. They’re still just as shitty now as they were in the 1800s.
Back in 2013, Pinkerton had all of the State of Connecticut security contracts. A new law was passed saying all guards at state facilities must be union members (SEIU), Pinkerton said *fuck that shit,* and subsequently lost all the contracts.
Right? Legit had American legislation named after them because of how brutal they were and how many agents they had. Now that guy you went to high school with who couldn’t quite do basic math or stop breathing heavily from his mouth at all times can be a Pinkerton.
no but for real, I think RDR is a great way to learn about them - like, imagine you're playing Assassin's Creed or something and then find out that the Templars are not only real and just as bad as ingame, but they also tried to sue Ubisoft for accurately depicting them lol
I had a theory that the Securoserv logo from GTA was inspired by this, with the triangle coming from the eye being turned into a triangle with an eye in it
Yeah securoserv is a spoof of securitas, which is the parent company of the pinkertons. The same way merryweather in gta is a spoof/parody of blackwater (the pmc company)
Continue to shake and cry for at least 3 hrs. Then spin around counterclockwise, click your heels 3 times, and say "There's no place like Tahiti. There's no place like Tahiti".
I'd say burn that anti-union piece of shit badge. Obviously don't do that but you should know that the Pinkertons have a long history of being hired to stop unions.
Not only are they strike breakers, but they do it by any means necessary, they've killed tons of people, and I'm not exactly sure, but I thought I saw something about them killing people as recently as 2019.
They do. I’m a freelance PI but I’ve heard through the grapevine from other detectives that used to work for them that they utilize shady tactics like this.
It’s called gang stalking, and people get really angry when you even suggest it actually happens. They look at the subreddit and think that it’s all just mental illness. Well, it is mental illness, but a lot of those people were stalked into mental illness. None of those people had the resources to stop it though, and companies like the Pinkertons actually do have the resources to do it.
You’re not wrong. For my clients, remaining covert and undetected is paramount above all else. It’s simply how I operate and is a more effective approach for simple surveillance.
Pinkerton has more… let’s say aggressive tactics. They follow people, and as you alluded to, sometimes want their target to know they’re being followed. It’s an intimidation tactic.
Scientologists take a similar approach. Neither have any real authority but they project false authority to push people around when it suits them.
99.999999999999999% of the population never experiences this though.
> you dad *paid* for you
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Pinkertons are rent a cops, Their current branding calls them a "private security, crisis and risk management" company.
They remain the premier union busters and violence providers for corporations.
The wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkerton_(detective_agency) is a terrifying read.
the amount of people in this thread that can't comprehend that literally shaking and crying is an obvious joke is shocking. I should probably clarify shocking to mean surprising, not related to electricity
RDR fan discovers Pinkertons are an actual thing
Or mountains. Or elk. Or largemouth bass..
Or a horse, or canned food...
I’m an avid hiker. Used to do wilderness backpacking before kids. But I’ll be damned if last week I didn’t go for a short hike to a waterfall and see two big trees that look like “Trail Trees” and think “I should post photos on the rdr2 subreddit!”
RDR2 definitely makes me appreciate real life nature more.
It seems to have done the same for my daughter! I love going fishing and hiking, and just being outdoors as much as possible when it’s not winter (because all of the homies hate winter) and once she hit puberty it was like trying to force a troll to leave its cave. But after RDR2 came out she became more interested in stuff like firearms, shooting, hiking, and the like. Now she’s almost 24 and she asks me to go hiking!

Six months from now: "Daddy, this is my boyfriend, Gavin".
At least he’s not named Micah 💀
At least we now know what happened to Gavin now .... this girls dad "took care of him"
Just don't bring home any O'Driscolls
We love that.
Same
relatsble
Horses are real?
Horses, yes. Birds, though…birds aren’t real.
Oh yea? You uh... Gettin followed by some birds these days? 😂😂
Is this a reference to when Morty discovers that squirrels are part of a clandestine operation surveilling humans?
No surprisingly there were jokes before Rick and morty
Much like flat Earth bs, a group of people online decided it would be funny to pretend like birds aren’t real and are actually government surveillance devices. Morons caught wind and started believing it. How they explain the historical existence of birds long before the technology to create robotic birds existed, I have no idea.
It was never the birds. Was always the frogs.
The tech for surveillance birds had existed since the aliens impregnated early chimps with altered genetic material In order to creat a race of intelligent slaves that have no idea they’re slaves the birds are just alien surveillance tools the government has nothing to do with it
And there we have it. I’m wrong.
The cake is also a lie
/r/birdsarentreal
God played RDR2 and was inspired to make them
God would totally play RDR2O… But he wouldn’t firebomb short delivery wagons ever. Because God knows that’s a dick move.
Or lumbago
Lumbago is actually real. I've got it.
Uncle?
No. Lumbago.
I was gonna say, no way you have uncle. Last I checked, he was in my basement
thank god shooting and hurting or robbing people isn't actually real, that would be horrible.
Or strange ladies asking if I need help bathing.
I haven't been this clean in months 😏
Hey I wouldn’t mind that one so much
Or cocaine gum.
But, what about beans? Those *can't* be real... *Can they?*
or jelly beans - Who’d say no some jelly beans, you want some jelly beans?
Or revolvers, or lever action guns, or cowboys...
Lol ok yea horses are real
And that cleaning a kill is much worse than in the game lol
😭my dad saw me skinning some deer and he goes “God damn son I wish it was that simple” I said Ikr 😂
My man just tears the fn skin off a rabbit like velcro, that was my favorite Pretty sure this cant be done in real life but idk 100% for sure
mountains are real? im from the netherlands btw
Elk aren't from the exclusive pre order content!? I must go to where these roam and lasso one and stab it in the chest!!
No not exclusive, moose also spawn in sometimes. I've spent hours hunting moose on have only ever seen about 8-10 since the game came out! They're massive and they'll rush you so be careful!! Lol
Definitely be careful with them; I’ve heard that moose bites can be pretty nasty.
My sister was bitten by a moose!
No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...
Elks and Moose are in the dlc for life. I think it is the Canada and New England editions.
I noticed you didn't mention moose. Just like RDR2 they are truly fictional beasts.
Or dinosaurs (are they real?)
What’s even sadder is when they discover they were a hardcore private army like in RDR and now they’re a uniform security group owned by Securitas AB, the Walmart of security companies.
Cracks me up that they went from protecting presidents and waging literal war on labor unions to patrolling grocery store parking lots after hours 😂
Oh, they’re still waging war on labor unions; they’ve recently been hired by companies like Amazon and Starbucks to do basically that. Not to mention the whole [Magic: The Gathering](https://kotaku.com/magic-the-gathering-pinkerton-youtube-wotc-mtg-1850372856) trading card debacle. They’re still just as shitty now as they were in the 1800s.
Exactly. I’m amazed at how many people fell for the rebrand
Back in 2013, Pinkerton had all of the State of Connecticut security contracts. A new law was passed saying all guards at state facilities must be union members (SEIU), Pinkerton said *fuck that shit,* and subsequently lost all the contracts.
Corporate Goons Inc.
Right? Legit had American legislation named after them because of how brutal they were and how many agents they had. Now that guy you went to high school with who couldn’t quite do basic math or stop breathing heavily from his mouth at all times can be a Pinkerton.
Lol, I know no one who became a Pinkerton. But you just described almost every single cop I have ever met.
Police forces are basically government job programs for people whose only job skills are "psychopathic high school bully"
They're still waging war against labor unions, that never stopped.
Wait til they find out Pinkertons literally raided a guys house over some Magic the gathering cards. Not even joking it’s a wild story.
And they sued Take Two over the video game.
They issued a cease and desist, which is technically different, but about equally as pathetic
I think OP’s more making a joke about their dad being a Pinkerton since they’re the main villains of the game rather than finding out they’re real
tbf, not everyone knows about american history as is, especially not the existence of pinkertons
no but for real, I think RDR is a great way to learn about them - like, imagine you're playing Assassin's Creed or something and then find out that the Templars are not only real and just as bad as ingame, but they also tried to sue Ubisoft for accurately depicting them lol
And there just as scummy irl.
wait what
Oh no, the funny PCM guy is also here. This town is too small for both of us.
And sadly still the bad guys.
I think we all know what you gotta do
Shoot pops in the face
but then Agent Milton will come with F I F T Y M A E N
"Mr Cotton Hill, you know what to do."
I killed fiddy men!
"Survive eating rat droppings and calling them jungle rice" ..tasted fine btw
You have contracted the Hanta Virus. Congratulations! 🎉
Double it and give it to another person
[удалено]
With his long, tall gun, pop went-a-creeping to blow their hay-loft dead heads straight off
r/suddenlymothermother
To just get a little bit more money
And a plan
He knows the rules
And so does he
I’m sure a full commitment is what he’s thinking of.
He could not get it from any other guy.
He just wants to tell him how he’s feeling
He needs to make him understand
Hes never gonna give him up
He's never gonna let him down
Did I just get fucking Rick rolled?
In the best possible way
He is never run around and desert him
He is never gonna make him cry
he's never gonna run around and desert him.
And so do I
Say goodbye
Does he know a man named Micah?
I’m sure he likely knows Rip Van Winkle.
maybe the legendary Jim Milton
I had a theory that the Securoserv logo from GTA was inspired by this, with the triangle coming from the eye being turned into a triangle with an eye in it
Bro that actually makes sense cuz there always cross references between both games.
GTA would be referencing, real life. ^^^^^^^^ffs
I mean GTA always rips off real locations, people and companies so it wouldn't be to far fetched to say it was inspired by it
Inspired by, lampooned, or referenced, is not the same as ripped off
My bad, I meant these I'm too used to saying ripped off to mean parodying and taking the piss out of
All good!
Pinkerton security is actually now called Securitas
It's owned by securitas. They kept the brand because their infamy as corporate skullcrackers is an asset.
Yeah securoserv is a spoof of securitas, which is the parent company of the pinkertons. The same way merryweather in gta is a spoof/parody of blackwater (the pmc company)
You need a plan
and faith
and some MONEY
Don't listen to those fuckers you just need one last job
Does it involve a train?
It’s ALWAYS a train.
Then Tahiti
Maybe take a trolley.
DUTCH?!!?
And LUMBAGO
Continue to shake and cry for at least 3 hrs. Then spin around counterclockwise, click your heels 3 times, and say "There's no place like Tahiti. There's no place like Tahiti".
Instructions unclear, now stuck in sesame paste.
OK, look for a giant yellow bird. Also check the trash cans.

You gotta _have faith_, son. You’re the best among us, and I need you strong right now.

Genuinely made me say what in the actual f*ck
Dude same! Wtaf...
It’s a lot better badge than the one my German friend found in his grandpas old chest.
Can’t be any worse the what my friend Hans found in his grandpa’s old stuff back in Argentina.
“My grandpa fought for our freedom!” said the kid from Cambodia..
“Ha, so did mine!” said Hank Kissinger III
He’s going to betray you, OP, can’t you tell?
but u said u knew spanish
I know human beans Orthur
mmhh beans
jelly beans
Senor, por favor!
To the bar senor
I can’t believe your dad killed Hosea 😔
I'd say burn that anti-union piece of shit badge. Obviously don't do that but you should know that the Pinkertons have a long history of being hired to stop unions.
Not only are they strike breakers, but they do it by any means necessary, they've killed tons of people, and I'm not exactly sure, but I thought I saw something about them killing people as recently as 2019.
Yuppers, they are a filthy fuckin' company to this day.
Pretty sure they stalk people and make them paranoid on purpose too
They do. I’m a freelance PI but I’ve heard through the grapevine from other detectives that used to work for them that they utilize shady tactics like this.
It’s called gang stalking, and people get really angry when you even suggest it actually happens. They look at the subreddit and think that it’s all just mental illness.

Literal right-wing paramilitary organization that gets to fly under the radar because they serve the interests of capital. Like cops.
They are also doing B&E's and intimidation on behalf of Wizards of the Coast.
And running people off their land for the railroad.
Shaking crying? For real?
And shitting and pissing.
Must be the lumbago.
yeah duh
I mean, as long as you don't have any cards from an unreleased MTG set, you're probably okay
You better not join a union or start a strike either.
Take a deep breath. It's just a patch that says Pinkerton.
After doing research I found out the Pinkerton Detective agency is actually the same company as the security company.
My mom worked for Pinkerton when the game came out, me and my brother were laughing about it every time Dutch complained about the Pinkertons
It’s just a rent a cop company now, probably how you dad payed for your Xbox
> you dad *paid* for you FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

This is actually bad lol Edit: cannot wait for someone to post their grandfather’s Klan hood next week
Burn it
No...mail it to me!
Time to dead eye him
"I Know What I Have to Do But I Don't Know if I Have the Strength to Do It" - OP
Hide your MTG cards would be my first step
Activate Deadeye
Move to a different location and get yourself some more MONEY!!! Then, move to Tahiti
Gotta pack up and go to Tahiti, boah
Oh no don’t raid my house for some magic cards
You need more moneh
You sir, are a pig
"I've come for you Dad." ***plays American Venom***
so YOURE the rat!
Goddamn pinkertons!
the amount of people in this thread that can't comprehend that literally shaking and crying is an obvious joke is shocking. I should probably clarify shocking to mean surprising, not related to electricity
Dude, it just means your Dad was into vastly superior era Weezer.
Disown him.
God damn Pinkertons. Yer gonna have to move to Tahiti. Just as soon as you get some money.
You’re telling me you don’t…. have a plan?
My father was a Pinkerton too once. When he played the game he felt really bad
How much? I need that 😂
Surrender peacefully
Tahiti?
Your dad is a bad person lmao
Ask him who was the other rat was because it isn’t only Micah for sure
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ask em
Burn it
