Could you just hide from the terminator?

[-Nada-]

Nah man, I think that guns n'roses video answered that question long ago.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

20% of the country didn't have detailed files on human behavior

 

[Taco Loco]

You can't hide from a T-800. It'll find you and rip your fuckin heart out!

 

[HUGHPHUG]

80% of statistics are complete bullshit

50% of that statement is 90% accurate

How many months TD training would that robot fucker need to become a modern UFC HW champion?

 

[RoninJin]

You may have a chance if you find the nearest metal burning factory..

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Can it print out a boarding pass?

Whitey bulger hid from 20% of the country for over 20 years.

But Whitey ain't some dumb fuckin' robaht. He knew how cawppers think on accounta he played the FBI. He had better than detailed files on human behaviah. He had street smahts.

 

[Fluffernutter]

I live on an island, James Cameron gave no evidence that the terminator could swim.

 

[Organic Damage]

He has detailed files on human behavior. He knows humans are stupid and will always screw up.

He just had to be ready for the 7 or 8 ways that she would reveal her location.

The show did a better version of showing this. The T-800 (Cromartie) is basically like a private detective, he just goes around asking people for leads, using public records, etc. until he gets a line on Connor or a member of his circle.

If you use a false name and good opsec you can elude him for a while but eventually humans always slip up, and as mentioned, he will not ever stop.

The Terminators had access to police cruisers in all 3 films.
All he had to do was type your info into the computer or hack the terminal and everything comes up.
The Terminator was also listening to the police scanners and monitoring any recently stolen vehicles.


Your idea makes total sense though.
I bet if they went to Canada, The Terminator would never find them.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Hide? You are not a sherbro.

I would fight the motherfucker on hand to hand combat. 5 minutes after I would be heading to my mansion to bang 10/10s as I always do.

Just a regular day for me, a regular sherbro.

You could avoid slipping up if you knew "slipping up" meant you had to face that thing. You could probably get away with a warning call to the people closest to you, without telling them anything about your whereabouts.. I would have even lied about where I was going. Imagine if Connor woukd have been smart enough to say she was 200 miles in the opposite direction, and about to leave to go to some random state..

 

[Amerikuracana]

Can it print out a boarding pass?

Pretty sure it travels only by motorcycle..

Eventually the thing would have the military after it. It wasn't good at avoiding police attention, and you could only waste so many police, and then swat teams, before the military got involved.

 

[Amerikuracana]

When has telling your mom where you are require a reason, though?

When the dude that just saved you from a killer robot tells you not to tell anybody at all where you are. It was an epic level stupid move that gets glossed over.

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

Stop what, a door to door quest? Is it going to eventually get a job with the census to hit more houses?

"I need your badge, clipboard, and pen"

"I need your badge, clipboard, and pen"

They had pics of him from the California police shooting. The Terminator, who allegedly was programmed to avoid authorities, was a minute away from being tge most well known face to law enforcement. He would have spent so much of his time avoiding authorities, that he couldn't have looked for anybody.

 

[Amerikuracana]

"I need your badge, clipboard, and pen"

That's actually pretty funny.

He would eventually learn to be polite, and he would probably be dressed like a meter maid. "Oh, and one final question; does Sarah or John Connor leev in dis home?"

Yeah, in "real life" if you went through the events of T2 there's no way you'd take the chance. But you'd basically have to live out in the boonies where there are no cameras or computers or anything. If the Terminator can get into computer networks you basically have to be a luddite for him not to find you.
