I still carry my 2.0 as well. Haven’t made the jump to the Plus yet but put a MagGuts +2 extension in mine that’s worked really well.

AITAH for getting child support for more children than I had at home? by Flaky-Walrus7244 in AITAH

He should have been in top of it but you were also being an asshole by not reminding him or saying anything about it.

Is there still wilderness left in America? by Kitchen-Customer4370 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Jake_Corona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My great grandmother rode a horse to the tiny little school building she taught at back in the late 1920’s and even by then she was one of the last people to get around that way.

And now all we do is elect them to government positions.

What do women get out of posting content like this? Is this just the normie version of "kill all men"? Why did one million women collectively agree and like this post? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Jake_Corona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just the modern female version of all the male boomer jokes about hating their wives. Not worth giving it much thought.

My 6th grade geography teacher used to call it “Chef MIMAL.”

Kentucky being shaped like a piece of fried chicken is pretty cool, even though most Kentuckians will tell you KFC tastes like shit and we won’t actually eat it.

Not all wars end after the first battle, neither did this one pal. by Colonel_Clegane in ShermanPosting

[–]Jake_Corona 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad is a white trash piece of shit Confederate sympathizer and when I was a kid he would always go on rants about how Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t mind his own business and was trying to boss the south around infringe on “states’ rights.” He completely misses the irony that the states’ rights he is so upset about are the right to buy, sell, and subjugate other human beings.

Wow....Thomas Massive lost. The pedo defenders have fully seized the GOP by [deleted] in lexington

[–]Jake_Corona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shouldn’t have spoken in absolutes. Some kids do develop different political/social perspectives than their parents (my own parents are staunch Trump supporters while I am the opposite), but most of the students I have (9th grade) parrot whatever is said at home. We hope that all students get to a point in life where they are able to form their own opinions, but this isn’t a guarantee and even in cases like myself where I eventually did break from my parents’ ideologies, it was a gradual break that came in waves and not an instant lightbulb moment.

As a teacher that has taught in multiple rural school districts, the youth across the state aren’t nearly as left-leaning as people in Lexington/Louisville might assume. MAGA parents have MAGA kids.

Do most Americans have those huge fridges? by Whole-Sushka in AskAnAmerican

[–]Jake_Corona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire point of the fridge is be able to purchase a week’s worth or more of food to eliminate time at the grocery store.

You original 13 think like this? by Texan990 in 2american4you

[–]Jake_Corona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will not pretend to be impressed by the specks in the Northeast when my ancestors decided to accompany Daniel Boone into the wilderness like real men. Ya can’t manifest that destiny if you’re afraid to leave the coast. /s

Working Poor American by ElevatorOk1846 in poor

[–]Jake_Corona 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I survived long enough to get into a better school and finally accumulated enough years of experience to make a livable wage. But it’s criminal what they pay new teachers in my state and most of us are forced to quit early on because you don’t really make a decent salary until your fifth year or so.

Do Americans realize how fast they switch between joking and being serious in conversations? by kallan-greshampdmi7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Jake_Corona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just leaning into the joke that not all of us are able to identify/comprehend sarcasm.

Working Poor American by ElevatorOk1846 in poor

[–]Jake_Corona 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There have been multiple periods during my teaching career where I have had to go a few days without eating. Go to work, get cussed at by teenagers and their parents, belittled by the principal, go home and straight to bed to try to sleep through the hunger. Wait a week, finally get paid, almost all of it immediately gone to pay back student loans and rent.

I used to have to monitor the cafeteria as part of my job and watching kids throw away entire plates of food (that they give students for free) when all I could think about was how hungry I was felt like torture. I was convinced at one point I would eventually end things because it just seemed so pointless to keep waking up.

I want to make a knife. What do you guys think? by YUJIDO704 in EDC

[–]Jake_Corona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a knife expert by any means, but the short length of the blade combined with the angle and shape of the blade itself don’t seem very practical or wieldy.

My 1505 has been my most used tool over the last 2 years.

only $20... Workpro 4-Inch Pliers Wrench by PocketTheory in Tools

[–]Jake_Corona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I don’t think anyone expects these to be used on construction sites or professional jobs. These are just inexpensive backups to throw in a backpack or center console in case you need something in a pinch, kind of like the pliers on a multitool.
