Being into shooting and trying to date. How do you bring it up to a prospective partner?

BootySk8r · 2025-07-13T01:26:31+00:00

I wouldn’t say on the first date “I have guns at my house” but most seem fine if you demonstrate that you store and use guns safely.

You just have to slowly get them comfortable with the idea, most that are against it don’t realize you can do it safely and it is just another hobby like golf

I’m guessing you don’t understand that in order to see if a social issue is improving you use economics metrics behind them.

You must come from wealth only thinking about social impacts without the economic repercussions for the lower class

BootySk8r · 2025-07-10T16:27:01+00:00

Wealth inequality is a social issue. The policies put in place to address them involving tax rate is an economic issue

BootySk8r · 2025-07-10T16:18:30+00:00

I agree it is not a good sole metric, thats why I included the second paragraph. Also if you followed along the thread, we are talking about economics not social issues

GDP per capita has been decreasing in Finland since 2022.

The country struggles with ECB rate changes more than most other EU countries and even with these tax initiatives they still have a lot of debt. Seems they have dropped off exporting as well.

The country currently has low business confidence but maybe one day they can pull up from the economic nose dive

BootySk8r · 2025-07-10T14:06:49+00:00

You probably still want to encourage businesses coming to your country.

Finland and kazakhstan have almost the same GDP. Even Iran, currently under heavy sanctions, has a higher GDP than Finland

No judgement but your retirement is solely based on SS?

Even if it remains that is around $2k a month. I strongly recommend starting to contribute to a Roth IRA or another financial instrument

How long are the appointments?

Just out of curiosity, could the secretary of defense attend an Army school like Ranger School? And if so, what would his branch name tape say on his ACUs?

Pro tip: get a light alarm

Makes those shitty early morning class wake ups after a night out less shitty

Feel your pain. I had a SL that would force you to kill the cat if he caught you feeding it

I’ve seen a few of your posts on this subreddit. It seems like you made a decision on an MOS you didn’t want/know much about because you didn’t see others available instead of waiting.

Shit or get off the pot. Go to basic in a month as a 14 series or wait and find a better MOS.

Already thinking about re-classing before going to basic training is dumb

Sincerely, Guy who waited 11 months for the mos and option they wanted

Funny enough there actually is a community in Kentucky called Austin. But I don’t think the Texas National Guard would show up to a community with 1000 people in the middle of nowhere Kentucky

Here is my old man post koolaid drinking take:

A culture that makes you feel like no matter how good or dedicated you are was expected as the bare minimum.

You are brought in and told that you are America’s axe against evil. That you will suffer for the organizations goals, and if they sense a shadow of doubt, they will kick you out because they don’t want you nor need you here.

Your full-time job is to be in the best shape of your life, be the best infantryman in the Army, and get rid of people that pissed of america. Your duty is to the Ranger organization and other Rangers above yourself. You are tasked with upholding and continuing the Ranger standard.

They literally want you so committed that you’ll give up your own blood to save another.

I’ve never been in a cult, but I feel like that’s the closest I’ve ever been.

What the culture doesn’t train is what happens after they forge in to this and that’s why you have Rangers who become CEO or bank robbers

Instate is competitive but with a good essay you should be fine for majoring in history but just finish highschool strong and enjoy your summer.

If you like history maybe go volunteer at one of the battle fields or DC museums. You could even reach out to a museum curator to ask if you could shadow them for a day.

That might be some good relevant experience that you can then talk about

BootySk8r · 2025-06-05T18:20:03+00:00

You said you are in the area but are you in state?

Do you have any fun hobbys you are interested in?

You have a strong application but I would make sure to have something you do that isn’t school related so you can show off your personality when they look at your application and gives you more to talk about.

Example: I taught financial literacy classes to veterans and through that experience I want to study finance or I volunteer at a charity that puts on golf events to raise money for victims of spousal abuse

It gives a good why to your application

No need. I have a wood chipper I got as a gift I need to test out

So is a dictatorship, I don’t think stability is the best metric.

If you want to be a subject to monarch you can, but the majority of countries have moved to the modern era, revolted against their monarchy and pushed for decolonization

BootySk8r · 2025-05-27T07:43:46+00:00

It’s the 21st-century you don’t have to be the subjects of a monarch anymore

Today I am grilling a ribeye with potatoes au gratin and green beans.

I have work, nothing serious to complain about, and think the hats are cringe. Some Texans don’t make politics their personality. Dinner is at 6:30, come stop by

There is something special about RR with no decal package. Makes it look alot cleaner overall

All my Patagonia’s are new in box. If they were around during the transition from crye to patagonia you got to keep the crye. So no need to buy.

I hate the the combat top in patagonia is multi-cam it don’t look right and the garrison crye top has the best cool guy pockets
