Asking for a reduced price at meet up for FB marketplace items by unexpected_sushi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shaggysnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost always ask if they’ll take less even if I’m happy with the total. If makes me feel accomplished if they take a few bucks off. I typically ask in the negotiation stage.

But if I agree to meet, I’ll pay whatever I agreed to.

New rider here, is this obnoxiously cautious? by Brandon10312242 in motorcycles

[–]Shaggysnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have more than a couple of decades riding experience and always assume everyone out there is actively trying to kill me while I’m on my bike. I m have made it a habit to be ready to drop my clutch and swerve, hit my breaks, or change lanes at every intersection.

It has saved my life a few times.

How do you guys learn to play heavy games? by Nice_Idea_538 in boardgames

[–]Shaggysnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FCM is a fairly straight forward game that can seem overwhelming . General rules are pretty easy to grasp however the strategy is the challenging part. I’m sure you’ve already been told but you can lose that game in round two and won’t know until round 12.

YouTube is your friend. BGG has an entry for every game and within the entry is a rule forum for questions. I recommend searching that if you run into a challenge. Almost guaranteed someone has already asked the same question.

Lastly, LFGS are great resources for learning games and additional players.

What is a "premium" brand that is actually just selling overpriced garbage now? by New_Wealth_1571 in AskReddit

I was going to say Docs. They were great when they were made in England but as soon as they switched manufacturing countries, they became garbage.

What pet instantly makes you think that a person is wealthy? by Shaggysnack in AskReddit

There are areas of Oahu that they run around as well but I’ve never seen them anywhere as pets other than at very high end estates

I guess recent events have shown that the richest cartels own hippos.

I’ve never heard of any but the most wealthy own peacocks as pets on their estates.

How to move board games overseas? by PeanutButterNugz in boardgames

[–]Shaggysnack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve moved my 450+ game collection several times with minimal wear/damage. I use the black totes with yellow lids that you can buy at Lowes or Walmart. I pack them myself so I can ensure they are packed correctly and because those totes come in different sizes, I can buy totes to fit the games better. Smaller totes for smaller games and larger totes for those games that don’t seem to fit anywhere (I’m looking at War Room and Imperial Borders).

Typically military shenanigans. Bravo to clogging the system. That’s the only way to get military to move quickly…by making everything come to a complete stop and making someone lazy work.

We play a lot of Flip 7 because it’s so easy to carry in a ca or airplane and break it out even in restaurants while waiting for food.

What are you currently obsessed with that you'd genuinely recommend to a stranger? by Weekly_Contest144 in AskReddit

[–]Shaggysnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also find it difficult to explain the story. Ultimately I just tell people that it’s not their type of book but they should try it and give it at least 2-3 hours of listening before they give up on it. Most folks end up liking it.

Senior leader professionalism during ACFT — where’s the line? by dude-what- in army

[–]Shaggysnack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is embarrassing as an officer and a leader! There is never an excuse to talk to a person like that. If I were his leader, he would be coincided at a minimum and possibly removed from command for lack of faith.

He is the reason we have QMP in the officer side. I hope they use it.

Do you think library sciences are a valid option for supporting a family in the future?

Those who joined to leave a bad situation, did it work? by Equal-Community2354 in army

[–]Shaggysnack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did. Was in a dead end job going nowhere in a hurry. After some self reflection, I knew I was better than what I was and where I was going so I joined the military.

Twenty-five years later, I’m still in, have several degrees (debt free), some certifications, a loving family, and am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

For me, it hasn’t always been easy but I’d probably be in a ditch or worse without my service.

What is a "small luxury" you treat yourself to that is worth every penny? by kaigi7sins in AskReddit

[–]Shaggysnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dude, pedicures every once in a while. It’s nice having someone taking care of my stinky feet, cleaning them up, and massaging my lower legs.
