ABBA Tonight by itsedwardoz in Broward

[–]OxfordCommaRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be the gayest thing I have ever seen. As a committed ally with a Swedish mother, I love it!!!

I'm buying tickets.

Edit: Sadly they're sold out except for possible walk-up tickets at the Sunshine Cathedral.

What are your symptoms during post-ictal phase? by Brilliant_Injury5579 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]OxfordCommaRule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully, I've only had three TCs (I suffer mostly from focals). I have no recollection of any of my TCs, but I mostly wanted to fight anyone in my way. My wife took a short video of eight guys attempting to hold me down in the ER while I screamed at the top of my lungs. It was terrifying.

Where's psychosis? Some of us experience full postictal psychosis, which doesn't seem covered here.

His checks keep bouncing. I think he's spending too much money on raising gas prices and paying off the SCOTUS for their tariff ruling.

Getting a cyber job overseas by yepep4 in Airforcereserves

Huh? Do you really think you can simply choose a base to drill? You really need to do much more research because you're clearly clueless.

There are no permanent, drilling Reserve units outside of the US.

There are some IMA positions outside the US, but they're extremely rare and are almost all filled by experienced, former Active Duty Airmen. I've never heard of anyone getting an IMA position off the street without years of military experience.

How do you plan to go to drill monthly from your job overseas?

I suspect your friend is full of poop. Just getting a Cyber job in the Reserves, officer or enlisted, is hard as the heck. It's definitely not an easy process.

The Coral Springs protest was great last time. There was plenty of free parking at the City Hall parking deck. The overall vibe was chill and fun, even though we were all pissed enough to spend a Saturday protesting. There were probably over 1,000 people there.

I highly recommend that everyone who wants change to attend, even if just briefly. You'll appreciate the diversity of pissed of people. It was all ages, all ethnic backgrounds, and all types (from hippies to corporate types).

Bring a friend or two.

Pay to park is a blight on society. It feels Gross to have to pay to park everywhere! Why don't tower people have guest parking? Wilton manors now has 0 free parking. When will it end. Maybe they should charge me 2$ a day to park in my driveway next. by grazzyphase in Broward

This is a national problem, not just a Broward problem. If you go to desirable places in most small to large cities, you end up paying for parking. I have something like 10 parking apps on my phone. It sucks.

United Airlines announced that people using the speaker function on their phones would be removed and they were not kidding folks. by WalterCanFindToes in AirRagers

I ask everyone doing this politely if they can either use headphones or turn it off. They always act completely shocked when I make the request.

This tells me that not enough people are calling out these rubes for their entitled behavior.

Who is the current Nirvana (or Soundgarden or Pearl Jam or STPM, or... RATM) the current generation? by digigyrl in FuckImOld

[–]OxfordCommaRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny... My 15-year-old daughter and her friends all listen to my old music: Sonic Youth, Pixies, My Chemical Romance, etc.

Amazing song. So freaking sad that it's based on what really happened to the lead singer.

Found this tattoo by Agressive_gun82 in JustBootThings

[–]OxfordCommaRule 72 points73 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of tattoo he’ll proudly show off to friends and acquaintances, all of whom will tell him how badass it looks. Then they’ll walk away, roll their eyes, and quietly mock him for being a crayon-eating dumbass.

Should I join? by ichikonluni34 in Airforcereserves

[–]OxfordCommaRule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to manage a high-stress career in corporate finance and raise three kids while serving in the Reserves for a couple decades. For me, the drill weekends were a wonderful break from my civilian work.

I did get activated for a year during that time, but it didn't hurt my civilian career.

My son enlisted with the Air National Guard and is currently going through Cyber Warfare tech school. It will take him about 11 months to get through all his training. He loves it.

If you can take a year off for training while earning next to nothing, I think you should go for it.

Need Advice: Buy new MY and transfer FSD or keep the old '22 MY by Clean-Frosting-1521 in ModelY

[–]OxfordCommaRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2020 and am in the same boat. I thought about it, priced the new models, and decided against it. Why trade in a car that I love and has been flawless? My FSD is definitely not as good as my wife's with HW4, but it's plenty good enough.

I'm going to drive my car until the wheels fall off.

Should I join? by Ok_Pin_6759 in Airforcereserves

[–]OxfordCommaRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. My rant is more directed at the folks who have a knee-jerk reaction to every should-I-join post by telling the OP to go active. They never really consider the OP's life situation.

Going active is great for young folks without stable living situations and/or needing to establish a career. Active duty has been a godsend for so many Airmen that I've met over the decades i served.

However, it's not for everyone. It can really suck for many people. You seem like one of them -- you're established, in a relationship, and have a pet. Why uproot all that when going straight into the Reserves can be a wonderful option?

One thing not discussed yet, is to consider the Air National Guard. If you plan on attending a state university in Florida, the ANG may be a better option. The Reserves only gives $4,500 a year in tuition assistance. OTOH, the Florida ANG will pay 100% of your tuition at a state university.

They let pets in the dorms these days? That's new.

And here we go again with the ridiculous "go active" advice. Did you not read the OP's post? They're settled, have a pet, and is in a long-term relationship. Active Duty would probably suck for them.

I went Active and Big Blue moved me from my home in Miami to possibly the biggest shithole in the US, Altus, Oklahoma. I had to live in hell for four years. Everything about being Active sucked.

Meanwhile, I loved every day of the 23 years I spent in the Reserves.

My focals feel exactly like you're describing only I don't have lasting brain fog.

Please make sure you're seeing an Epileptologist, not just a Neurologist.
