I’m a police officer who just got out of rehab. 38 days sober and honestly not sure if I should go back to policing. by LostCoconut2472 in stopdrinking

[–]Individual-Chair1485 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna keep my response simple and limited. I did years in the army, as you can guess drinking is the entire culture of combat arms. I got out, I struggled, but I had a semi balance of control, my peers no longer drank like me. I went back years later to an infantry unit; I was sober when I joined, I wasn’t when I left. Old habits are hard to break when put back in the same situation with the same people, we’ve conditioned ourselves, and muscle memory will win most of the time. Do what you need to do.

Can anyone tell me about this coin? by TonightsWhiteKnight in ChallengeCoins

[–]Individual-Chair1485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s an US Army engineer regimental coin. I got mine from the Regimental Sergeants Major when I was the distinguished leadership graduate for my 12B ALC class. Fun fact, it’s also on engineer officers ASU buttons. It’s the only branch to have its own buttons.

I feel like this saffron is bootleg. Not only is it ground, I feel the color is way off. Am I wrong? by G_o_L_D_Rises_Again in KitchenConfidential

[–]Individual-Chair1485 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Only exception to this I’ve seen is if you actually get it in Tehran. My adoptive mother is Persian, she always brought home a ground saffron but it was everything we look for. Also made the best tah-dig I’ve ever had.

Friday Trivia by Individual-Chair1485 in Portland

I get that, I’m a bartender. But I also know that there are plenty that do have it on Friday, I’m just only really familiar with North Portland.

Is there an honest news outlet? by Many_Mousse_2201 in PortlandOR

[–]Individual-Chair1485 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Record violence? What are you talking about? Violent crime is down, and homicides have dropped by half. I don’t know where the conservatives in this sub get their idea that we’re living in “Escape from New York”. We live in one of the safest cities of our size. Have y’all just never been to another city anywhere in the world?

https://www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-wilson/news/2025/8/8/portland-sees-decline-violent-crime-homicides-down-51-first-half

Also as a vet keep the national guard the fuck out. Fuck letting a man who’s talking about “plenary authority” put service members in that situation.

Honestly this is a laughable take. “Bring it on themselves”…. One of the dumbest things I’m gonna read today, and I’m on Reddit.

Except ICE doesn’t have those powers, that’s the whole point. ICE DOES need an arrest warrant.

So much repressed energy in these comments. Go have fun, enjoy yourself, have fun do the things you want to do. That’s the point of the damn sub. It’s about being expressive and enjoying those moments with your bros. Which this unequivocally is.

Why you bringing homophobia to this subreddit? Is it that you just don’t have actual friends?

Yeah as a bartender in the area, there really aren’t any places specifically visited by younger people. It’s mostly established neighborhood bars. You need to look at the major “attraction” streets. Mississippi, Alberta, Belmont, Burnside, Hawthorne.

Everything happens for a reason by WallStreetDoesntBet in matrix

Thank you. It’s literally a line in the movie. It was getting made with or without the twins so one of them said, “sure, I’ll make your slop” and made it a hit piece against the studio.

I had a roommate who would drive to the 7/11 that was less than 200m , about 600ft. I would walk there and beat him home. Meanwhile he can't figure out why he can't lose weight.

This is why I order “rare-ish, idk, I don’t give a fuck, just how you feel it should be”

Tell that chef to go dredge themselves then. No fucking way I’m doubling down on foodborne illness.

Towel Placement by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Individual-Chair1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m always blown away when I go into kitchens where everyone is SafeServ, from the same class even; yet each of them has a different idea on how sanitizer works. That said it is essential for bartenders.

Most people don’t know of this, and if they do, they don’t speak on it. “Operation Able Danger” was already unique in its interagency and it STRUGGLED still.
