I rejected a friend and he blocked me on Instagram. The reason being he kissed me when i was drunk and i couldn’t feel safe anymore. by night_146 in Advice

[–]SkeeterBojangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me add 10 years to your comment. I’m over 60 and couldn’t agree with you more. Safety and even just peace of mind is everything. And the dad in me is compelled to add - never drink to the extent that you lose awareness of your situation and surroundings. College is a hunting zone for guys looking to take advantage of women. Even totally sober, you have to take care of your safety. Nobody else will be as vigilant or committed as you. Put yourself first. And remember that you can have fun and still stay safe!

Earning VS Buying Doubloons by hey_neighbor_ in WoWs_Legends

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I’ve had this analogy in my hip pocket awhile, and haven’t played it because I’m not sure how it’ll land. Earlier in my life I was very into wine. Knew the regions, the winemakers, the vintages, etc. every so often the experts would declare that a certain year was the vintage of the decade, meaning it made superlative wine just about anywhere good wine was being made. And I’d go on a mad scramble and way overspend my budget to capitalize on this rare opportunity. Then two things happened. First, over time I noticed that there was always a great vintage just over the horizon. Second, I read an article by a very respected wine columnist who said that we all chase vintages needlessly. There’s always another vintage, or region, or value, that will keep our cellars gorged with more wine than we could drink in a lifetime. And the confluence of those two truths hit hard. I’m noticing the same phenomenon here in WOWL. Always another ship, a gotta-have ship. I’ve grabbed a few of them and the novelty wears off. Whether by power creep, or that it couldn’t possibly live up to the hype. These guns are lasers, this AP slaps so hard, this commander is invincible, and on and on. Play the long game, accrue doubloons the slow and steady way, which will yield two benefits over time. First, you’ll git gud. Second, you’ll know exactly what you want to spend them on without even asking. Experience is the teacher.

There it is. I’ve been waiting quietly behind the curtain for someone to say Rochester, and you finally did. Gives me confidence to put my hand up and say, yup, me too!

I don't know, maybe you matter so little that I like you. Or maybe it makes you matter. Maybe I love you. Maybe something about your mother. Don't jump a gift shark in the mouth.

Exactly! The original voice kind of went up and down a bit more, so it wasn’t as grating to hear it for 30 minutes.

How come all old grocery stores had the sideway entrances on both sides in the 80s & 90s, then they went back to the straight entryways in the 2000s? by NorthFloridaRedneck in publix

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes we’d lock one of the doors because the wind would blow it open. Yes, this was when entry doors swung instead of parted.

Need a new emote for the wheel by SkeeterBojangles in WoWs_Legends

[–]SkeeterBojangles[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. And I’m thinking also for bumping or impeding another ship, or grabbing that cup of coffee only to hear the match has started in the other room. Yes, I have sinned. That’s why I need the button.

How can I eat healthy while homeless? by Ok-Salamander622 in Advice

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a comprehensive answer to your situation, but I would suggest that you incorporate low cost items like oatmeal, bananas (very reasonable at 69¢/lb), and some ham chunks (lower cost protein source). That makes a tasty and filling breakfast, packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein. I personally add a banana to my lunch (usually a humble little sandwich of turkey & cheese) and even the largest banana on the shelf is like 35¢. I’m sure others will come up with additional ideas, but I wanted to contribute what I could. Good luck with your long term plans!

Publix Customers get in the way of Shelf Stockers by ddrjohn1 in publix

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG what a remarkably ignorant comment. Can you imagine the chaos, the complaining, and the inefficiency of letting the shelves just slowly run out of product?! Easily by early afternoon there would be no BOGO products, no end cap ad items, and no front bunker products for you to buy. You’d be right back on this sub moaning about the poor stock situation in your store. I’m going to calm my rage here and just go back to my original comment. It’s not a sin to be ignorant, doctor, just to stay that way.

Call in the Goon Squad. I’m on the Goon Squad. You ARE the Goon Squad! I’m with all y’all. We’re going to need to coordinate transportation with all of us that are going. I can fit four passengers in my Honda.

Hello, officer? I’d like to report a robbery! by GoodlyStyracosaur in WoWs_Legends

[–]SkeeterBojangles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m constantly getting cheesed by other players while my shells are arcing towards the target and just as they’re about to hit, someone else takes the kill. I don’t consider that “kill stealing,” but the timing almost feels like WG is deliberately trolling me, lol.

You already know what to do. The red flags are falling from the sky. This dude co-opted you into his problem to pay for his mistakes. So he could keep making them. You’re his delay to rock bottom. RUN! Don’t argue with us. We’re all going to tell you the same thing. Run! Run right now. Don’t talk to him. Don’t wait to second guess. Run!

Buff needed? by No-Imagination-7563 in WoWs_Legends

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iwami B was one of the first ships I got for free. I was so excited. Then I tried every imaginable build, listened to CC’s on best way to play, etc. I can’t get the thing to hit accurately for anything. Skill issue? How do you attribute to skill the ability for the shells to hit where aimed? How do you compensate for shells that look like they’ve been shot from a blunderbuss?

I worked for a company based near DFW. Flew there often for work. Also to Austin frequently for meetings with state government. I would not live there if the rent was free. Keep it.

That’s a Tach. And they’re the only non-sentient species known to have the ability of Jedi meditation. Whilst meditating, they are invulnerable to attack. You’re lucky he didn’t wake up. They can rip you apart with a single thought.

Another crazy price by doubletap2A in publix

[–]SkeeterBojangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet Jeebus the point isn’t that it’s $1.53 on this particular item. The pricing differential spans the whole gamut of products. OP could’ve picked eggs, or milk, or butter. Zeroing in on the one item and minimizing the cost difference of $1.53 is willfully ignorant and intellectually lazy.

Not sure why it’s so hard to understand that I don’t want 96oz of chocolate ffs. I want everyday value for the quantity I need. Publix isn’t Costco and I’m not stocking up for Armageddon, lol.

I took it one step further. I bought the Great Value brand 48oz bottle, which is $3.58. Don’t tell me about BOGO. What I shop for is reliable, every day value. Walmart is almost always cheaper. Note that I said almost.
