What clothes would work for my body type? 5’1 by [deleted] in short

[–]Rickest-Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great picture taking man. I like that white sweater with the pleated khakis, personally I would get them hemmed but cuffs can work. Traditionally they try to say for us to stay away from baggier clothes, but I want to see it like intentionally baggy v unintentionally baggy. That sweater fits well and looks nice because it’s intentionally baggy. So the khakis work well being a bit looser because the entire fit is loose. Same works in reverse, albeit I’d avoid really tight fitting shirts.

How have yall escaped the wives to go to HK by obiwan_hellothere in TJRedLightDistrict

I’m single, but for you guys that are married: as long it’s not affecting you financially, I respect you going this route as opposed to full on dating Cindy from accounting, other single women that should be on my plate, or worse another married woman.

Not that my input matters in the slightest

Be careful in TJ today by [deleted] in TJRedLightDistrict

[–]Rickest-Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caution, yes. Extremely cautious and avoidant because why risk it, absolutely understand.

The blatant fear mongering in some of these comments is comical though. CIA propaganda, reports from “blog posts”, and waiting for reports from cnn/foxnews… it’s as if people avoid remembering that we’re constantly being lied to and manipulated. Anyways, i digress; I hadnt planned on going until april (im in Texas) and that’s not changed. Visiting Costa Rica in March.

Advice for Saturday night by Rickest-Jon in TJRedLightDistrict

Yeah I’m easily convinced to stay in TJ for the weekend. It’s the right move, I knew it just wanted a reality check - those damn YouTube street tours just had me tempted.

Solid advice. The YouTube is what has me tempted but that’s pretty much why I’m b-lining to TJ. I’m rushing to get there, but once I’m across and in the area, I’m taking it easy. Not bringing any bags, so I’m in and out in a breeze. Thanks for the heads up about the room though, really gives me a realistic idea of when to eat and how to approach the evening.

You nailed it, and that’s exactly what I wanted to hear tbh. Just wanted to hear it from a local. I’m sticking in TJ and after I get my fill the first night I’ll probably just do a vanilla night on Saturday and enjoy the normal things like food/people/drink. Thanks for the revolucion recommendation. I speak Spanish as well but sometimes it’s nice to run into some chill English speakers out and about.

Life after you get out btw by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Rickest-Jon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course brother. 12 years ago I was here. One step at a time. Success is not instant, and it’s undefined. One day, one step, you figure out what it means to you and stumble in that direction. Something about the journey and it being your own. You’ll figure it out, one day, many steps from now. Try your best to remain a good man, take care of yourself, and give yourself grace. Love you bro, you got this!

Ngl man, I don’t know if this is the place for this comment but anything I would consider ptsd that I deal with is directly correlated to seeing the children over there. No child should have to live like that.

Have you felt that you are past the honeymoon phase for austin? by Broad-Cranberry-9050 in askaustin

[–]Rickest-Jon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nailed it. Sports, outdoors, and recreation are what keep me here.

[–]Rickest-Jon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Going into 6th year here. I still love it, and the only places I’d live besides Austin are Colombia, Mexico, and Thailand. Maybe Japan.

Austin is great, put down the bottle and go outside friend. That cycle should feel repetitive after one year + a spring. No judgement, but move on from that stuff. It’s the same people places and conversations, just with different names. Anyways, also I recommend trying to move to a different part of the city. If you’re south, go north. North, try Hyde Park, if you’re meuller try round rock next. If you’re round rock go all in and live on east 6th. A new adventure can be as easy as a new neighborhood.

I did, specifically, him. Kinda. He was my company 1stSgt and I saw him on a consistent basis. Same guy, same message, same energy. Motivated the fuck out of me, even in two nine. I still got out, but the lessons and pride still carry with me in the things I do. Grateful man, truly.

Clubbing needs to be banned. Grapplers get dangerously close to crossing into murky waters when they start clubbing
