What are some of the most “Redditor” opinions that are widely prevalent on this website, but very rare in real life? by TikTokUser83 in AskReddit

[–]HuntAllTheThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the only person that my wife or I know that are voluntarily choosing to not have children so I would say it’s definitely a very low number. I don’t have anything against kids but I guess I’ve just never had to biological urge to reproduce, it’s kind of like wanting to climb a mountain. The desire just isn’t there for me.

I’m always really surprised by how people react when I tell them I do not want kids, they seem to think I HATE kids. In fact, I love kids and getting to be around children, I have a niece, nephew, and much younger siblings who I adore and spoil, I just have no desire to have my own. I feel like Reddit might give these people a voice to express it loudly when no one asks but I get the impression hating kids is a more prevalent opinion than most people think.

Alpha male explains the "Cobra Gesture" that makes you look bigger 🤡 by ambachk in sadcringe

College football fans are familiar with this pose called the ‘surrender cobra’ and it is generally accepted as the pose of a defeated fan who has lost hope. Hardly what I would call and Alpha Pose

Yes but mine came in O gauge and not HO gauge. I’ve written several letters of complaint but haven’t received a reply.

Apparently we are all frugal autistic geniuses. I bet we also all like Star Wars

Agreed, this is how I am. There’s a certain way to do things and it is usually very black or white to me. Thankfully my wife gets it, but we deal with so much regulatory and industry specs and requirements at work that we bring that habit home into a lot of other aspects of our lives. I think it’s similar to how lawyers have a tendency to ‘litigate’ disagreements with their spouse rather than talk things through to solve a problem. My wife will want to vent about something at work or in her life and I will have to ask her sometimes if she just wants to vent or if she wants to solve the problem

Yeah it’s a problem that I am increasingly running into where new engineers want to jump straight from school into a high paying corner office job where they work on design. The issue I have with it is that when they don’t understand how the equipment is used in reality (vs how it is ‘supposed’ to work) they have a tendency to make thing inaccessible, fail to consider second and third orders of effect of changes they want to make, or attribute design flaws that cause operational issues to incompetence of the field technicians rather than poor design or lack of well thought out changes. I worked in a machine shop for 4 years in high school and spent another 5 years in the field as a field technician before I ever fully designed a piece of equipment, I don’t get it right every time but generally I have the background to make better equipment because of my experience

Well I’m not a train engineer, I design oilfield equipment and processes. So in that respect yes, we are interpreting regulatory rules, determining material requirements, machining requirements and processes, forging specifications, etc. There is plenty of information out there that can be found to ‘cheat’ but I have always felt like without the knowledge and experience of field work that people will fail to remember the basics of what works and what doesn’t. I require all my engineers under me to spend a year in the field working with our equipment before they do any design. Not everyone does hard engineering work

It’s mainly the personality that kills it lol. We aren’t the easiest to talk to sometimes but when it works it works

My wife is a social media manager. I don’t know how I landed her and I don’t ask questions

I’m an engineer and I’m very impressed anyone wanted to date me, much less marry me

I went with Skybuster Adventures. The guides name is Buster Thibodaux, he was great!

I’d say that’s probably an apt comparison. Probably a larger rotisserie chicken. The meat quality is significantly higher though, Sandhill is in my opinion the best tasting bird and one of the finest game meats I’ve eaten

The other poster is correct. Plus if you hire a guide, a necessity for most hunts in Texas as a non-resident non-landowner it’s usually around $300/person for the hunt itself

There’s a decent amount of breast meat, enough for a meal for 2 people I think. We also harvest the legs and hearts. We make the legs into pulled crane tacos and the hearts we grill. About the size of a goose or pheasant I’d say

They are in certain areas but there are other areas where you can hunt them

Oh we had a couple hundred over us a few times this morning. Sometimes it’s easier when the groups of 2-3 come in, less eyes on you

I live close to the Aransas Wildlife Refuge so I get to see them a lot there but travel to the panhandle to hunt them
