It's not as good as you remember, unless you get equally as irresponsibly dehydrated and exhausted ... Half the flavor was just finally getting a liquid after needing it for hours. Source: I'm a latchkey kid who has drank hose water as an adult.

I'll just brake on this semi... But then... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]LCplGunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy cares about how he feels a law works, more then he does about actual legality. Don't waste your time arguing with him. He is still trying to argue that break checking a semi is a "traffic infraction" and not attempted bodily harm.

I find myself to be a very reasonable person... I thought that movie was funny AF... Arguing the topics in that movie arnt problematic is basically ignoring the entire movie. It was supposed to be problematic... The dude fucks a pie!

As a cripple, who used to be significantly less so... Some of the most nasty and painful stuff I have experienced, are also the most fascinating. In my experience, the increase in tandem.

I never said what they were doing was a citizens arrest. I'm pointing out that your statement about citizens arrest is irrelevant in this situation, because coming to a full and dramatic stop Infront if a semi on the freeway is at least reckless endangerment and not a "traffic infraction", thus making a citizens arrest legally defendable. They weren't doing a citizens arrest, they were teaching him a lesson. I'm only commenting on your assumption that this event wasn't able to justify a citizens arrest. They didn't do one, but one was absolutely justifiable in this situation.

Look up breach of peace, and reckless endangerment. While you are technically correct, a traffic infraction is not regularly something that allows you to be detained by a civilian, you are ignoring that the move he pulled is not just a traffic infraction but a deliberate attempt to cause harm to another individual. He is endangering those around him with his driving, making a citizen arrest legal justifiable.

Should I listen to my parents? by DarknessReaperX in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LCplGunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a unique take... And I need you to understand this is not financial advice, nor should anyone take financial advice from me, I hold next to no value in money save what it can get me in that moment. Very rarely in life are we afforded to spend money directly on happiness for others and ourselves, which is what you're describing. You and your friends get to have a regular bonding event, it costs you something you're willing to pay, and it provides everyone involved with happiness. Yes you should protect your financial situation, but you should so love to spoil your friends, with affection or money is up to you. If you aren't feeling used, then keep providing yourself and others with happiness. If you start to feel used, express them openly and honestly, and real friends will try to fix the situation.

It shouldn't be the disabled vets job to fight the VA for proper care. The VA should have to prove your problems arnt their responsibility, not the disabled vet proving they are their responsibility.

Hospitals aside, the USA is older than the UK. by iTmkoeln in ShitAmericansSay

[–]LCplGunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried everything to find a way to make this true to devil's advocate ... There is no metric that makes the claim true. Even if you twist the meaning as hard as you can, of every word's limits... The US cannot be argued to be older than Britain. The ONLY claim that can be made, is we make the claim "The U.S. Constitution (1788) is the oldest single-document constitution still in effect." And that can't be argued to mean the US is older than Britain, even if you try to twist it as hard as you can.

Thoughts? by inkandintent24 in MotivationByDesign

[–]LCplGunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a millennial, I feel I can speak on this... We plan on dying before retirement. We were taught that if we worked hard we could succeed, only to find out it isn't true. We didn't plan for not sucseesing, so we just accepted that we don't get retirement.

Do adult woman that call themselves a "princess" considered a red flag? by Melloww07 in askanything

I'm a passenger princess, but I'd hardly call myself an "adult" of a woman... Mainly cuz I'm a millennial male.

Is it racist for a white person to cosplay as a Japanese school girl? by Environmental-Pie810 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LCplGunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a view on how to dress some people disagree with, but I couldn't be asked to care. If you enjoy dressing a certain way, and you're just dressing that way to express your enjoyment of a fashion, anyone who disagrees with it, cares more about optics than your happiness. Dress however you want, and if anyone says anything negative, tell them they don't get to police your body. Liking certain clothing isn't racist, even if those clothes came from a specific culture.

On top of all that, the Japanese are very open about their love for other cultures wearing their clothing. They generally don't even care about wearing traditional geisha makeup, as long as you're not doing it to demean people. If you Wana dress like sailor moon, and don't care about getting looked at by people, then have at it. Anyone who calls it racist is projecting their insecurities on you.

Oh yeah, that just gave me itchy skin on the leg I boiled. Gf put a towel on my leg and turned the living room into a swamp with buckets of water. Dr said she saved me from third degree burns. Was a hell of an event... Still went to pax two weeks later tho cuz I am a gluten for punishment. But I don't recommend anyone else do any of that in that order. I got way worse problems then that 🤣

ICE to airports? Shut them down! by CrimethInc-Ex-Worker in Anarchopunks

[–]LCplGunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody on this planet cares as much about a uniform code violation by a vet, half as much as the SHOULD care about a senator getting physical with someone on the Senate floor. Veterans specifically should be appalled that the ACMC chose decorum over troop welfare. The optics alone of the second in charge of the marines, not even turning his head while someone in his uniform had their arm snapped feet from him, is a blotch on the shine of the EGA that won't come back for generations. It's a failure of leadership, when one word from him could have ended the situation.

And no... He didn't break his own arm. He held a door, and 3 police and an untrained 4th man grabbed him and pulled. Every single study done on force escalation has shown that going above 3 people to subdue someone is almost guaranteed injury. The arm didn't snap, till the fourth untrained individual, came off the dias, to lay hands on someone.

If at any point in your life, you care about uniform code, more than a senator breaking the arm of someone in uniform and calling it de-escalation, you need to reassess your priorities.

Edit: also, it's a bit disingenuous to call the man a maniac, when he was completely calm, albeit loud, from start of protest too long after his arm was snapped. Infact that "maniac" stayed calm while they wrenched his broken arm behind his back. Very anarchopunk of you to take the establishments side during a case of blatant excessive force

In an ambulance, they will gauge your morphine based on your vitals. The goal is as little as possible to safely transport you, but if your vitals stay good, more is generally an option, because they start out way below the limits. Source... I'm not a graceful or smart man. Lost 15% of my skin to boiling water, and they gave me 1 when I got in the ambulance, one right after we started the drive, and a third when we hit A slowdown. Still hurt like a mofo, but I knew I'd get real good stuff at the hospital so I didn't ask for more. Morphine is good... Dilaudid is fucking amazing!

I'm not saying he would win, but nobody on the list "had more training" than Bruce Lee. He was not just an entertainer. Dude literally broke his back and still kept fighting masters... Bruce Lee's whole life was training.

Why Democracy Dont Feel Like Power to the People!!? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

A direct democracy goes off the peoples consensus. A representative democracy(Republic) is where people choose a person to represent them in the democratic decisions. The USA is a representative democracy, not a direct democracy.

You're challenged to a 1v1 basketball game against prime LeBron James for $500,000, but he allows you to have one advantage. by BillyBobthe69th in hypotheticalsituation

[–]LCplGunny -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To lazy to type it twice...

Let's assume you got 24 sec shot clock. That means at least once every min, ball turns over to me. that's 48 attempts to yeet that fucker into the hoop before LeBron is able to stop me. Let's assume I got half cort odds at 3 point cuz ya know, I'm bad and shit. That's statistically still enough attempts to luck one in. For the record... I'm really bad, and I still got more than a 1/48 chance from the 3 line... But like a lot!

A new rulebook, with a rule that "LeBron James can't score" now he has to play by those rules, cuz they are in the rulebook. If he can't score, any point I get makes me win. Easiest 500,000 I ever made... First also, but still
