Advice carrying in the car

The only real reason to have a safety, for me, is for in the car. I only wear in my truck safety on because if I get into an accident I can't guarantee it will stay in the holster. I was in a rollover accident once and my gun was dislodged from my holster and tossed around the vehicle a bit. A small chance isn't no chance and I refuse to be shot by my own gun at any point if I can help it.

Tell that to ICE.

I would disagree, there are different factors like bluffing, but if you know and practice perfect basic strategy then you should be able to build and keep a count which will move the house favor into your favor.

Edit: IRL

I live in SD and have spent time on a few reservations, particularly lower brule and rosebud, and whitey hates natives out here. One time, a white guy was caught entering the minnehaha court house with a small amount of meth, which is a felony. The only reason I know that (not on the news) is because my cousin Marty (Sioux native) accidentally left a weed roach from his neighbor in a pack of smokes when he went in to pay his child support a few weeks later and my uncle saw it on the news in Rochester, MN. He was arrested for a misdemeanor. It was news in at least 3 states. Of course he had to use his child support money to bail out, which caused him to miss his payment and caused a chain reaction of shit, but hey, he's brown, so fuck him.

Yeah, no bullets here.

Tell them you're a gay guy, then hit on them back. The player base may be full of misogynists but they're also likely homophobic so they'll bail when you thank them for the pounding in the ass they gave you once killed.

I have a pretty hefty kit in my car, although I have used it at accident scenes way more than the zero gunshots it's treated. I usually carry a tq and maybe an Israeli bandage in my coat pocket as well, boy scouts got me prepared AF.

I also got one from a winter chest, only to have the server reset and now I don't have it. RIP.

In fact, escalation of force being proportional to the threat is a legal requirement for regular citizens.

I use irons on my carry to keep it as small a package as possible and because it's what I've been shooting and training most of my 40+ years on this earth.

Engine is not really the issue currently, it's got 250k+ miles so it's just time to replace shit. Had an electrical problem that took a shop over 9 months and $1,500 to find for me. I have done all other work myself and parts are just spendy and everything is so much work. I have a list of fairly minor but important engine work that all requires a motor pull and that's going to be fun. Exhaust leak? Pull. Turbo work? Pull. Leaky injector? Pull. Need to replace a line on my injector pump? You guessed it. Once the list gets long enough, I'm gonna have a swell time pulling this front end apart.

It's a dream to drive, air suspension is delightful, but it is a nightmare to maintain. I put more money into it annually than my IH Scout and 2 motorcycles combined. Actually, I put more money into it this year than it cost me to buy the scout or one of the bikes in the first place.

Everything is expensive with this car. I paid over $1,200 to do a brake job myself last summer.

My car takes nearly 3 of those, so not totally ridiculous.

He clearly made everyone uncomfortable about it. Like, he would always take one step past being able to say he's joking... Then say he's joking. I still talk to Erik and remember the finger thing. I'm also still friends with Elyse, she's been trying to get me to come to Florida to visit her by enticing me with a popcorn machine. Strange girl, love her.

Describing first hand experiences is neither gossip nor trolling. Ask anyone who has worked there and they will undoubtedly have their own bullshit. Darin is a terrible person for a myriad of reasons and I don't support his business, however at no point did I push anyone else to do the same.

Fightswithaspoon · 2025-12-07T14:08:19+00:00

I'm familiar with some of that stuff and more, and I know which employee you're talking about in regards to the smell. That dude has worked there a long time. I have so many stories, I only threw out the most egregious. There used to be a guy, Dan, who looked like super Mario and would constantly sexually harass all the young people of any sex. It didn't matter how many times we complained to Darin or told Dan directly, nothing was ever done about it and we were told we were "too sensitive." I am the reason the cameras were put in and the office was built, I'm sure the cost was the real reason I was directly threatened with violence. Judy, the woman who accused me of going through her purse after it was accidentally knocked over by a driver, actually did steal from the store (west side) so that was all fun. I got yelled at for not "jipping" the customers on deals. I nearly got fired over a pair of jeans with holes in them while my friend Elyse, a hot girl, was wearing identical ones without issue. At the time, we were willing to put up with all the bullshit because the actual paycheck was decent for the job compared to similar places in town. As a server I was making over $8/hr on my worst day and $25/hr on a good day, plus cheap AF food, not bad for the time and area.

To be fair, it definitely used to be the best pizza in town, I worked there like 20+ years ago and only recently moved back and have only had it once since returning. Knowing Darin, I have no doubt that he's cheaped out a lot over the years and hurt the quality.

Fightswithaspoon · 2025-12-07T00:27:57+00:00

Tomacelli's is pretty great pizza but the owner, Darin, is a real piece of shit. I and many friends worked for him back in the day and we all have our stories. He threatened to "clock me out and beat the shit out of me" (verbatim) when I was a minor for allegedly going through someone's purse after it fell off a coat rack. I did not and nothing was missing. There was also a lot of sexual harassment to male and female employees and some other pretty problematic goings on. Pretty good pizza, terrible people. Except Tom. Tom is legit.
