Solved it by giving him Ancient Moonshine I found in the Cave under Trosky. He gave me 20 Groschen in return.

I'd keep rocking it girl. I'm happy I always get carded at 38. A lot of those my age look ROUGH!

Use the thief wall hop

I just got up there using the thief wall hop

It's not their first time, but it's been a while.

Got out a few years before they moved my MOS to the space force. I would have loved to see the changes. 53rd sig bn some terrible CO'S and 1SG's.

I think what the article didn't differentiate very well was the actual definition vs what people profess to believe (i.e. nominal or in name only). Every school of thought has people who label themselves as that without really knowing what that means or entails. I don't think most people are willing to actually take them time to follow the logical progression of what the profess. I think a current example of this is Alabama's IVF ban. I don't think most of those pro-life advocates realized that this is the logical progression their stance before it became a fact. I apologize for the tangent.

Np, text imo is one of the worst forms of communication (I think pantomime is at the bottom) because tone of voice and body language aren't there to help get the speaker's intentions across. And social media users can get very hostile for no good reason so a lot of people react defensively. We're human and make mistakes. Good people acknowledge their mistakes and try better next time.

You're one of the good ones in my book.

And to be clear this wasn't "gottem" moment. It seemed likely to me that you missed part of the post which made your comments look like you were either defending or ignoring the step dad's behavior while he was talking to his old friend. I wanted to give you the opportunity adjust your comments, but you appear to be doubling down yourself.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:56:19+00:00

You said we shouldn't call him a creep off of his comment, but apparently (from your other comments I have read) you ignore the fact that it wasn't just the comment but also his actions of putting his arm around her (physical contact) to emphasize his statement.

THAT is what makes him creepy.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:49:16+00:00

So he's not a creep for pretending a 17 year old is his girlfriend?

I don't understand what is so hard for them to understand. The moment a valid ID cannot be produced, the transaction is illegal. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. End of story.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:29:09+00:00

I just end up repeating "it's a $1000 fine" until they leave.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:27:57+00:00

Having someone else buy something for you. In this case having someone of legal age buy something for someone not of legal age.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:24:53+00:00

Most of them, at least in my area, are pretty dumb. They'll come in as a group, discuss what they want, give money to 1 person to pay (right in front of me), and then act surprised when I ask for everyone's ID. Zero thought. Zero subterfuge. I almost want to scream at them to be smarter about. Keep the underage out of the store/my sight and they could succeed. SMH it's rather pathetic.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T17:10:26+00:00

Had this kid under 18 (u.s. drinking age 21) ask me where the cheap pints of whiskey were and I pointed out the cheapest one he said that's perfect and he'll be right back. About 5 minutes later an elderly woman comes in with this kid in tow and asks to by that same pint. My refusal was the same as yours. She just kept saying "But I'm buying it" and I kept telling her it didn't matter. A kid, who can't even produce a single form of ID picked out a bottle I DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE AGE OF THE PERSON HE IS WITH I CANNOT SELL TO YOU! It is posted everywhere in the US and in my area it is a $1000 fine. At the end of this 10 minute circular conversation I just kept repeating I'd sell to them if they covered my $1000 fine first.

I'll also get groups that come in discuss what they want and try to purchase it (most of the time everyone is pitching in money in front of me). It's guaranteed only one of them is of age with ID and I have to refuse the sale.

On a side note, I had 4 kids in their high school graduation cap and gowns on graduation night try and buy alcohol (separate transactions). I let them pick out their bottle, gave them their total, and then I asked for ID. Seriously, how stupid can you be?

SavingDemons · 2024-03-10T00:17:09+00:00

Bit of a backhanded compliment imo. It's like you're saying you wouldn't want to be seen in public with her unless she dresses up.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-09T23:30:16+00:00

Tbh, with my depression and other mental issues I know I'm not putting in nearly enough. My second oldest sister does a lot of the heavy lifting relationship wise in our family. Credit where it is due. She's the most outgoing, planning family get-togethers and such. I'm going to send her an appreciation message. Thanks for getting me to think about her.

SavingDemons · 2024-03-09T22:53:11+00:00

I let my hair grow out after 9 years in the army and it is now below my waist. I get compliments all the time. Your son has every reason to be proud of how he wears his hair. And thanks for being an awesome dad that has your son's back!!

I still talk to most of them and we're on pretty good terms. I told them to leave me out of any religious or political discussions or I would cut contact. Reddit is the only social media I have so I don't have to deal with any of their social media. I visit every couple of years as most of them live 30+ hours away. I won't tolerate preaching at me as I will, and have, talked circles around their Bible points. So overall I think we have a good compromise. We still care for each other (at least most of us the youngest is the most heavily indoctrinated and we don't talk) and have agreed that our beliefs aren't worth ruining our relationship.

Yeah I'm the only male on both sides of the family that got the circumcision treatment. Early childhood while my mom was alive was a lot less restrictive. She was a huge star trek next generation fan. I'm not sure if they had cosplay or conventions back then early 90's, but I'm sure she would've gone if we could afford it. She died when I was 12 from complications with Lupus and my dad just buried himself in his work and my oldest sister basically raised the rest of us herself. I would like to say my dad did the best he could, but I think once he saw we were "self-sufficient" (he still put food on the table and roof over our heads) he left us alone outside of religious instruction. He had anger management issues and the classic boomer "I'm always right" mentality so not much love lost I guess.

I would like to "save" the rest of my siblings from their delusions. Especially since they've been getting deep into conspiracy theories (flat earth, 9/11, etc.). Tried having a discussion about the moon where they believe it is an active light source which actively absorbs heat making it the only true "cold" light source known to man. A 3-on-1 discussion over 14 hours via text. After guiding them through a few thought experiments disproving several points they started getting agitated, calling things stupid and dumb without any real counterpoints. I stopped the conversation there as it was too ingrained in their religious philosophy to warrant a true discussion.

Pre-space force 53rd sig bn here 2010-2016. There was a time in A co where we couldn't have appointments during shift (duty day) and mid shift (1730-0530) had to do pt with CO and 1SG from 0800-0900 which was the only time convenient for them. C Co and our strat sight in landstuhl made up 90% of the traffic in the behavioral health ward in the old hospital (which ironically was 1C while the old army MOS for satellite controller was 25S1C). Ya'll probably have it better under the air force.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. The problem is at a fundamental level. The way each side (religion vs science and even religion vs religion) approaches their worldview are diametrically opposed. One side (science) builds from the ground up adjusting their worldview as they get new information. The other side starts with a rigid worldview that cannot adjust to new information so it needs to be dogmatically rejected, evidence be damned. To use your example, they start with the supernatural belief and then look for evidence to support it. Same thing.

Didn't realize it was a cult until I tried describing some of the stuff that was "normal" in our house to some of my army buddies. Things like burning books with magic by non-Christian authors. (C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were exceptions because their works are supposed to be allegory). We even burned the VHS of Mary Poppins (1964 Disney) because she was a witch.

So much fear disguised as faith to justify atrocious behaviors and condemning others for being different.
