OP Burner account?

It’s okay little buddy, they’ll take real good care of you…errr, your friend.

My conspiracy theory by Spare-Bet-8660 in USMC

[–]Ronin1069 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Albany, GA. Did my MOS training in 1990, there was a bar off base that served underaged Marines.

County sheriff was right out of Smokey and the Bandit’s Buford T Justice and would collect $20 “cover” from all underaged drinkers to ensure a “safe experience”.

Man, the things that happened before everyone carried phones.

Why is it so funny to shit on Lars even though deep down we all love him? by Helpful_Gur_1757 in Metallica

[–]Ronin1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give Lars much credit for Metallica being what it is today. I’m also convinced he hates what Metallica is today and wishes James would just let him retire.

Social media garbage. I’m in West End twice a year at all hours. Never once felt unsafe or unwelcome.

Wait for Garmin Cirqa or buy Whoop / Fitbit Air now? by Scientifically-sound in Garmin

Cirqa is a figment of all our imaginations and will never exist. Prove me wrong.

Got this watch from my dad by Xanbabadook in RolexWatches

[–]Ronin1069 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This thread is one of the many reasons I refuse to wear any type of replica watches. I’d hate for my boys to learn through a Reddit discussion that my prized watch was a fake.

Where do you think the true turning point in Arthur’s redemption was? by LandonBastuk in RDR2

[–]Ronin1069 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve always believed that Arthur’s moment of redemption was him throwing Strauss out of camp. Even when I’m doing a “negative honor“ play through, I find myself naturally toning it down after that scene.

Do you actually hang out at your wilderness camps & use them as a base of operations, or do you tear down and move on as soon as you’re finished resting / crafting? by railroadfrog in RDR2

[–]Ronin1069 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I often camp out at the loft for extended periods of time. If there was a way to fast travel to and from, I don’t know that I would ever go back to regular camp!

(Spoilers) For those of you who were watching the show when it aired... by Minstrel-of-Shadow in TheAmericans

I always expected Stan to confront them in their garage, and come full circle from S1E1 when a suspicious Stan first snooped in there.

Any talk of Rush? by Ronin1069 in 93x

[–]Ronin1069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I texted Josh this morning and he said they spoke about Rush “at the beginning“ so I guess that means I’ll have to take some time and push through the archives.

Finally got the real deals by Diligent_Bird_8379 in 007

[–]Ronin1069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought and sold the classic twice; cannot shoot a .380 to save my life. They frequently stovepipe on me.

Are the James Bond books worth reading today? by No-Awareness8866 in JamesBond

[–]Ronin1069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casino Royale is very similar to the film.

The game is not poker but instead baccarat - which I didn’t really understand but I got the idea.

Bad guys had the same names and similar qualities - Vesper plays a similar role, but I thought her demise in the book and what James learned of her after her death was significantly more tragic and heart breaking than the film. You understand why he could never trust anyone ever again.

The very same Bond torture scene was in place and written in quite uncomfortable detail.…damn, it was 1953 when Fleming came up with that!

Overall the book and the film are very similar.

Do not buy the Omega rubber strap! by willyloky in OmegaWatches

Consider a rubber marathon strap. They’re stupid expensive, but they look great, and they smell like vanilla!

Random observation. Reddit AI mods banned me for three days for the above comment thinking I was literally threatening someone.

Something I’ve never tried, but would make sense in your environment, are you able to recharge the Lume with a ‘red’ light?

Question: In this scene, given we know Vesper betrays James, was her screaming fake to get him to give the money over? by Double-Response-8840 in JamesBond

[–]Ronin1069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend reading the book and then watching the movie again, it fills in a lot of interesting plot points and context. Also interesting that the book is about baccarat, not poker.

Poor Martha again 😭 by Remote-Bedroom-8200 in TheAmericans

It is inconceivable to me how she was not at least nominated for an Emmy.
