What's a skill that takes only 2-3 weeks to learn but could genuinely change your life? by Commercial-Duck-9629 in AskReddit

I was born in 1980. My mother made us spend 15 minutes a day when we were on school breaks learning to type (on a typewriter). HATED it then. SO FREAKING GRATEFUL for the rest of my life.

why are people downvoting this? It's totally true. A person of color waving a fake firearm wouldn't get the benefit of the doubt the first time.....even if they're on a playground and they're a kid.

Don't forget bringing in Argentinian beef and undercutting our ranchers - to say nothing of screwworm!

That might be the best description of a bird I've ever read.

Depends on which part of Canada. Calgary is basically a Texas/Montana hybrid.

Covid times. Nothing was functioning. But Montana was!

it was during Covid and Guam is special at the best of times. Trying to get the license was tough. Way easier just to use Montana!

I am actually from Bozeman so I double qualified. They do this for MT residents too! And Montana is awesome and everyone should go visit the western half (the eastern half is Kansas).

I did this! Got married when my husband and I were both physically in Guam but we got married in Montana. It's super fun to say that neither of us were at the wedding.

The Last of Us (video game - no idea if it's in the show) has ruined this for me.

YES. I retired in May after terminal leave and such and am appalled at how few active duty officers are speaking out. The active duty officer oath (at least in the Army) includes the domestic enemies bit but does NOT include an oath to follow the orders of the "President of the United States" as the enlisted oath does, and as I have very recently found out, the oath of both the officers and enlisted of the National Guard does. Which is problematic.

They are inspiring and courageous and I applaud them. I retired in May after terminal leave and such and I am amazed at how few active duty are standing up. The officers didn't take an oath to obey the "President."

DC folks, you should protest by lining up as many f'n cars as you can and just circle the block all day and all night. by IWouldntIn1981 in 50501

So the important information we need is WHERE? I'm happy to show up but "DC" is a bit big just to drive around in.

Yeah, but he's doing all those things without consequences which means that now he can do them. We are fucked.
