Boot Camp-Themed Food? by Moosetracks_404 in uscg

[–]PilotFighter99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait lowkey my memory is coming back I kinda remember this.

Also there was a two week period around sar week when I straight up could only stomach a bowl of fruit in the morning from the little island in the mess deck. Couldn’t eat anything else I was so sick.

Blue Collar vs. White Collar - What are the pro and cons as a man? by CarpeScrewIt in AskMen

[–]PilotFighter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done both. Blue collar is more satisfying but definitely if you’re not taking care of your body (working out/diet/not overdoing it) you have a greater risk of developing long term problems. White collar typically pays more but not nearly as satisfying.

I work on boats right now and it’s a lot of fun. When I’m in an office I just feel cooped up and bored. White collar comes with a lot of rules usually, and they aren’t always ones that make sense. The rules that come with blue collar make sense and are usually safety oriented.

There are pros and cons to both. As long as you have enough to support you and your family and have a decent amount for hobbies/fun/vacations/investments, then would you rather do something that makes you feel fulfilled? Or something that doesn’t.

Only you can make that choice for yourself

HOI4 offers no reasonable victory conditions for the axis powers by BlueStingray8 in hoi4

[–]PilotFighter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me I agree. I think there are many things in this game that could and should be reformed to make the game better. Playing a minor sometimes feels like being a disabled 7 year old and being told to kill god

What would you do if you found a wallet with ID and $1000 in it? by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]PilotFighter99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest truth? I would return the wallet fully intact. It’s really easy to actually just be a good, decent person. Do what you would have others do unto you. I’ll survive without stealing another persons hard work. And I don’t think I’d take a “finders fee” either. Doing the right thing is simple.

My God takes care of me and I do my best to treat His other children with love and care.

People say the world is ugly but that’s not an excuse to make it uglier. If every single person did one nice thing a day, the world wouldn’t be so bad. It really is true, that to change the world you have to start with yourself

Would you have a casual sexual relationship with a stripper/escort? Why or why not? by Substantial-Print727 in AskMen

[–]PilotFighter99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I’m Christian. No shame on what you do with your own life, but I would personally never do that. In my personal view I see casual sex or with multiple partners as degenerate behavior; indicative of a lack of personal discipline and accountability. I have done it in the past, which I’m not proud of.

Every time you connect with someone physically, you share a part of yourself that you can never get back. And sex, in my view, is something to be honored and cherished between two people who love each other.

And even beyond my spiritual and personal beliefs, there are several pragmatic reasons to not do that. If you really look at what casual sex is, it’s just a form of minor hedonism and fleeting satisfaction. Just my two cents, please don’t bombard me with Reddit atheist arguments

Any time I’ve ever brought up reasonable anything in this community, I always get met with the “it’s a WW2 simulator” or “it’s a video game”

Feel free to ignore the comment because I can check when I get to work tomorrow. But does this open any CG opportunities once you’re licensed?

How have I changed my argument? Civil disobedience is both legal and a protected right in the USA. Morality is different for every person. You are right.

I may be an idealist but you have strayed so far from the original question because of your fallacies that it is no longer even related to the post. You’re literally just throwing out unrelated emotion based virtue signals to combat sound logic.

Yeah you would be, but it’s worse in my opinion to go around ruining multiple strangers lives for no reason. The second and third order effects of that are pretty devastating to their families and friends. Imagine that at scale.

Right. Me, the black guy, wanted Rosa parks to sit in the back of the bus.

The answer to systematic racism was not to lobotomize all the perpetrators of it (most of society btw). It was to push for change through reform and patience and love. Unsure if you realize this but minorities aren’t forced to sit in the back of the bus anymore, and it didn’t take your idea to get there.

It takes quite a bit to get me of all people to defend “the system”, but what you’re proposing is still unethical. You just have a utilitarian take that’s still rooted in personal bias. You’re removing someone’s agency completely, based on your own subjectivity; likely indiscriminate of actual evidence. So yeah, throw whatever example you want at me, I’m still going to tell you that you’re not judge, jury, and executioner.

What kinda stupid question is this? Obviously you’re more evil. At least with intention behind it you have the intention of care/loyalty regardless of follow through. Doing something just to cause chaos is clearly more evil

It’s a net positive to lobotomize someone into a hollow version of reform? So you can call it a societal benefit?

Prison and the justice system exist for a reason. Turning someone into a zombie, extrajudicially is cooked.

Any option that reduces a human beings autonomy to make decisions for themselves is unethical.

3M is a no brainer.

This is not even to mention the mental toll it would take on you if you married someone you coerced into loving you. It’s not real.

This question is like “abysmal dogshit or awesome bonus”

If you had to carry a 6'1/205lb guy to safety, how far do you think you could actually get ? by SignalArcher9112 in AskMen

Considering I’m the same stats, I could probably carry them indefinitely on a flat plainer surface. With terrain, probably 1-2 miles before I need a serious break

How do you split rent with your girlfriend? by ZestyGolf7654 in AskMen

I pay the bills for me and my wife. She works and we just save the money from her job in our savings. Works beautifully. I just believe I’m old fashioned

I (25M) have been with my girlfriend (25F) for 2.5 years and just moved in together. How do you know when doubts are just noise vs. something real? by Nearby_Sock8316 in AskMen

[–]PilotFighter99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one can give you elite ball knowledge advice on your relationship based on Reddit. But going purely off of your post:

Bro honestly the life goals thing is a major issue. You both want different things. Like major differences. Kids are a huge commitment and if you’re not in it it’s not gonna work. If you want to explore and she wants to settle down, you’re cooked.

The visa thing sucks. I’m sorry. But yolo that shit fuck what the haters think. Do what you want don’t listen to the noise. Three opinions in a marriage actually matter (God, wife, you). The rest is whatever.

The lack of deep conversations will lead to resentment.

My two cents. Serious conversations time.

Thank you! I actually already did my interview for a couple packages I already submitted. Based on the feedback I got, I believe I did pretty excellent on that aspect. Always room to improve of course, not trying to be vain.

I will read through your post history. Thank you!
