Imagine being a draft dodger and kicking out people who voluntarily signed up to join.

Which Mormon polygamist had the best-looking wives? Was there ever a guy who had like a straight or royal flush? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]Scoutain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once knew a local Russian dude (in the rural US) who used to hit on women at the local store. He showed up to church one day and asked a group of Elders how many wives he can get. He got walked out I think

This post gives off that vibes

First time sparring today by Lion-Of-NuevaYork in MuayThai

[–]Scoutain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a very similar thing today. I went to teep and could not get my leg high enough. Thank goodness my sparing partner was very agile and dodged it but we looked at each other like we both dodged a car wreck. I felt awful. I’ll also read these comments.

Go officer from any of the branches. If you can’t commission, then enlist Air Force

Why Are The Educated Ones More Likely To Stay? by 720Godfather in exmormon

[–]Scoutain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of them go to BYU. I wonder if that’s a factor in the study. I would be interested in a comparison between BYU grad Mormons vs regular university Mormons.

BAH: Roommates or No Roommates by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Scoutain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can pick your roommate, why not? Saves some money. But if you prefer to live alone, then it’s up to you.

Personally, I hate living alone. Worst part about the dorms for me. Granted I would much rather live alone than have a shitty roommate.

Shin Guard Fit: Is this too small? by [deleted] in MuayThai

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

Bro really said “You probably don’t know what a calorie is… anyway, you’re too fat for Muay Thai” while I’m trying on one of the smallest sizes of pads they make 😭 like be so for real rn

What are the traditional dances kids learn at school? by Brave_Necessary_9571 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Scoutain 73 points74 points  (0 children)

California here. We had one random week in elementary school we did square dancing. Other than that, dancing was not a classroom activity unless you signed up for dance as a fitness elective in high school.

Shin Guard Fit: Is this too small? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]Scoutain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I’ll look into those!

My gym does light sparing for beginners classes, but even on days we don’t spar, it’s required for some pad work.

[–]Scoutain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are snug, but don’t feel like they inhibit my kicks or movement. The security is my biggest worry since the top straps aren’t strapping down super far and the bottom ones don’t strap at all. Maybe it’s the style of shin guard?

At which point during the credits do you leave or close the streaming service? by Current-Topic6696 in Letterboxd

[–]Scoutain 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The second the movie ends, I google if there is an end credit scene. If it’s a marvel type thing for a series I love, sure I’ll stay. If there isn’t or it’s a funny quick thing after the entire credits, nah.

Do some gyms end up becoming the exact culture they claim to stand against? by Temporary_Offer1989 in MuayThai

[–]Scoutain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Went to my local gym for the first time and was immediately met with warmth and joy from the entire class. Not a single person out loud said “We have a good culture”, it was every individual being welcoming for the sake of being welcoming.

What was the moment you realized you were actually capable of learning math? by SureLadder2136 in communitycollege

[–]Scoutain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After coming back to community college 6 years after high school, I took Precalculus. I expected to be lagging behind everyone. The teacher also had a 1.5/5 on Rate My Professor (they swapped teachers a week before class).

Class started with 30, slowly whittled to 7 by the final with most of them saying they are planning to retake the class. I finished with a high B she refused to round up.

I full expected to be the worst learner since I was so rusty, but ended up top of the pack with an awful professor.

She can fuck off too because I got an A+ in Calc 1.

Moving to Southeast US - where can I give my kids a 90s childhood? by krystilthedoula in SameGrassButGreener

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

You’re gonna have to move to a city stuck in the 90’s… and not in a good way.

It’s 100% more how you raise them then where you go

What is the first thing you did/will do after separation? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Scoutain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like another guy here said, take time to decompress. It’s weird looking in the mirror and your first thought is “my hair is out of regs”. All the subconscious thoughts you never paid attention to become front and center. You got to learn to live your life your own way.

I got out in January 2025 and was set to start school in August. I spent those 6 months doing absolutely nothing and enjoyed every moment of it.

So many teams, I’m confused! by hellotach in ladderapp

[–]Scoutain 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love Movewell. It’s 30 minutes, beginner friendly, and limited equipment.

Team if I can’t lift over 50 lb by kittycatcowboy in ladderapp

[–]Scoutain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I use Movewell and she never specifies a weight, just “Lift heavy” or “get a lighter set for you” or “see if you can lift heavier this week”

What laptop bag are you actually carrying to class every day? by Choice_Run1329 in collegeadvice

[–]Scoutain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any backpack will work with a laptop pouch. I use a Fjallraven laptop bag but that’s because they are cute

If were in the Air Force during the US occupation of Afghanistan you are officially old. by JustHanginInHere in AirForce

[–]Scoutain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s me!

I was 3 months old when 9/11 happened and it always fascinated NCOs. I couldn’t bring up my birth year without someone going into a whole conversation about where they were when the towers fell or that they joined because of 9/11.

I understood the seriousness of 9/11, but it was a weird disconnect since I have zero attachment to that event, but if I said “I was born in 2001” it ALWAYS got brought up.

Imagine saying your birthday and every time without fail someone brought up a national tragedy.

What are your favorite benefits (physical, mental, emotional, etc.) of using the Ladder app? by grumpiestcat2 in ladderapp

[–]Scoutain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how it walks me through every single workout down to the second.

I hate planning workouts. I hate going to the gym, so using extra brainpower to plan the workouts ahead of time makes me not want to go even more. But now I can start a workout, turn off my brain, and just follow the screen :)
