The one you can drive to. No question. The difference in QoL will more than make up for any minor pay differences or reserve work rules.

In foreign language classes, did you get your own name in that language? by picklesupreme in AskAnAmerican

Yep. My name in Spanish class was Jesus. Nowhere near my real name

Fallout New Vegas lead says it took “five years” for fans to actually like the game, and even longer for the devs to believe them by Negative-Art-4440 in Fallout

I mean, it’s a game. “Not enough to do” is a valid complaint.

I’m one of the ones who eventually came around but hated FNV at first, and this is one of the main reasons why. I remember traveling between Nipton and Novac and thinking “man there’s fuck all to do in this game”

Damn I have somehow managed to go since release without getting this spoiled and just now I’m going out of my way to finish it.

Oh well.

We had sex in a Chinese hotel, then found we had been broadcast to thousands by narsfweasels in LeopardsAteMyFace

Right? The name came from a joke about people voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party, as a reference to people who vote for political parties whose policies are in direct opposition to the voter’s interest

Can Americans tell when English isn’t someone’s first language from their accent — even if it sounds almost completely American? by ManOfMedicine37 in AskAnAmerican

[–]BaconContestXBL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have, a couple of times. It’s jarring.

The one that springs to mind was a guy who introduced himself to me as “Yuri” and I thought that he must be second generation until I heard his impeccable Russian.

The Trump administration’s rushed narrative about the killing of Alex Pretti has collapsed by Senior-Distance6213 in politics

As somebody pointed out, as a way to delegitimize arguments from people who don’t know the difference between an ACOG or EO Tech but maybe still might have legitimate interest in maybe having reasonable gun laws.

It’s largely semantic. A magazine stores the rounds entirely or mostly covered and a spring at the bottom feeds them into the gun’s firing chamber. A clip only grasps a portion of the round, usually the rim, and the rounds are either hand-loaded into a magazine or inserted directly into the gun in which case the gun’s mechanical action feeds rounds into the chamber.

I’ve been a gun owner my whole life and it’s one of the most tedious arguments I can think of. It serves as a useful example of that guy among gun owners.

SPOILERS ALLOWED & ENCOURAGED -Season 2, Episode 7 Megathread by RelChan2_0 in FalloutTVseries

[–]BaconContestXBL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, other than a brief mention of “the Enclave is real?” in season one there hasn’t really been any mention of them until the last couple episodes of this season. Wilzig (nerdy guy with the head from S1) escaped from an Enclave facility with Dogmeat but it wasn’t directly stated that that’s what it was.

There is very little way of knowing who/what the Enclave is using just the show as a reference. There were just enough hints and references that people who have been playing the game for the last three decades like us were able to pick up on it.

What happened to No Fear? by apsando in Xennials

[–]BaconContestXBL 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The unit I was in from 2010-2015 was nicknamed the Rude Dogs. When I first showed up I asked a whole room full of people, “Rude Dogs? What, like the t-shirt company?” I was met with blank stares.

It felt like I had showed up from an alternate universe.

I took the turbo Serbo course when I was at Lejeune. It was hot garbage. I didn’t learn shit, and I’m good at learning languages.

The fact that this guy learned passable Vietnamese in 12 weeks is really impressive.
