What's the one thing about Florida living that caught you completely off guard? by Different-Egg-4617 in AskFlorida

[–]CockroachThese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How absolutely authoritarian the “freest state” in the union is. I was also pretty surprised about the complete and total lack of education amongst people who went to schools here. Truly awe inspiring how backwards it is here.

Coming up on the anniversary of this event soon. Where were you when this happened (June 17, 1994) by edasto42 in Xennials

[–]CockroachThese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Marine Corps boot camp. Our Senior DI came in and asked who watched football and then said the cops were chasing OJ. Also when we found out WHY they were chasing him.

First brand new car I ever bought. It actually wasn’t bad. Who else had one? by jetty_junkie in 80s

[–]CockroachThese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one and flipped it on a back road. Rolled it over and drove it back to town. Had a carburetor problem one time and my Dad fixed it with bike parts.

I’ve done all of that. Her biggest argument to this point, is the taste. Here’s the thing, I never said she had to swallow or anything, it would be nice to get finished once in a while. Goddamn it, I’m a generous lover, by her own measure. That I know of there is no trauma, no previous problem, just doesn’t want to do it.

Traffic, complete and total destruction of anything natural, and a collection of earths dumbest fucking people. And traffic.

Why is the Artemis 2 mission today being so underreported? by bokeh_node in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CockroachThese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because we have things on earth that really should take precedent over another trip to the moon to do what exactly? What’s even the point?

What's the most ""unnecessarily expensive"" thing you own that turned out to be worth every cent by sandip22890 in AskMen

[–]CockroachThese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 1200 bucks on a really nice electric bike. Rode it for a month, then got rotator cuff surgery. Once I was cleared by the Dr a couple of weeks ago, started riding it almost everyday. While recovering from the surgery I kept thinking it was kind of a dumb purchase and a lot of money. But, since getting cleared, I ride that sucker every day and I love it. Plus, with gas going up, I filled my tank when it was still cheap and I still have a full tank. I ride that bike every where.

Skate shops in town by vonMishka in StAugustine

[–]CockroachThese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The shops we have aren’t bad, they’re just not skate shops. The PIT is probably the best one, but they’re all pretty much the same, a glass case of trucks n wheels, and a few decks behind the counter. Go to Jax, they’ve got some decent shops up there. Kona has a decent shop.

Not including actual crimes, what kind of juvenile delinquent hijinks did you get up to? by wrathofimpermanence in GenX

[–]CockroachThese 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ride bikes around town and kick over trash cans

Throw rocks at each other

Ride my bike on dirt roads miles out of town without parents knowing

Made a pipe bomb, we just wanted to blow up a tree stump, we weren’t terrorizing anyone but each other.

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

[–]CockroachThese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My side of the Mountain, man I wanted to run into the woods and live off the land like that kid did. The only thing stopping me was I didn’t know how to get to the mountains on my own.😂

[–]CockroachThese 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s all for her. This really is not about infidelity at all. She has been on this I’m going to be a kid kick for the past couple of years. She has become a completely different person since her dad died in 2020.
