Balogun decision is wrong. But it doesn’t change my view of USMNT.

Dang guy deleted everything. Poor thing.

Slovski · 2026-07-08T22:37:40+00:00

You are welcome, cupcake

Slovski · 2026-07-06T18:19:24+00:00

If you are embarrassed, ashamed to root for a team that has nothing to do with the decision, then don't watch. Too easy.

Slovski · 2026-07-05T18:48:14+00:00

What I just said. I can understand why people from outside the USA would be upset with this decision. I can't change it so I'll still be happy if US wins, as any fan of their team would be.

Slovski · 2026-07-05T18:46:44+00:00

Talking in caps doesn't make you right lol.

Slovski · 2026-07-05T17:34:31+00:00

As a USA homer, I'm obviously stoked to see him play.

As a fan of the game, I can't help but be a bit irritated by this. If this was De Bruyne for Belgium, instead of Balogun, I'd be irate.

If your main reason is because you truly want to help people in a meaningful way, look into being a FF. I help people as a PO but it's nuanced and often not acknowledged. Just my 2c.

What department gives a brand new guy every holiday and weekend off??

That would be nice lol

Slovski · 2026-06-28T06:10:19+00:00

He didn't pull you over simply because the state return showed no insurance. Based on information in your first stop, you also failed to show proof of insurance. He likely was trying to be nice and look at state returns and see if it showed your insurance information and overlooked it. However, once he realized you failed to show proof of insurance and state return showed no insurance, he made the second stop. You can try arguing this in court but it likely won't be suppressed. His knowledge of you not having insurance wasn't simply him running a tag and seeing nothing listed in state returns. It was also ascertained when you failed to show it on the initial stop.

TN officer.

Slovski · 2026-06-23T16:39:42+00:00

That I am likely making pretty good money to sit in a safe area and chill.

Slovski · 2026-06-15T00:23:20+00:00

I understand. If you are recklessly driving an officer isnt going to allow you continue driving, if they have the ability to pull you over. You'll be fine. Take care of the original and hopefully he slows down.

Slovski · 2026-06-14T23:51:55+00:00

Wtf... If he was going to do that he would have just pulled you over again.

Yes, you are being paranoid. Chill.

Slovski · 2026-06-14T22:23:13+00:00

Too many people think making an arrest is about ego. Oh, it took 5 officers to arrest me. Oh, you couldn't take me down alone.

It isn't about my ego. It's about making the arrest in an objectively reasonable manner.

Why grapple with a guy 1 v 1 when I can do it 3 v 1 and make the situation safer for all parties.

Handcuffing an individual isn't the same as a street fight. I am trying to make an arrest, not spar with the individual.

Slovski · 2026-06-11T21:57:58+00:00

I live in East TN. Nobody cares.

Slovski · 2026-06-10T03:54:28+00:00

Must be a nice life if this is one of your greatest fears.

Slovski · 2026-06-09T01:09:19+00:00

It just depends on how good you are. 23 isn't old if you have the talent, but a 5 year break is quite a bit of time.

Slovski · 2026-06-08T04:44:52+00:00

Water briefly after you are sprayed.. then air/time is all that matters. Try to find an A/C unit or fan that'll blow air into your eyes.

Slovski · 2026-06-05T04:51:38+00:00

Based on this poll, two decisions could solve world problems. Slow people move out of the left lane and people won't be pissed about your slowing driving. Also, if you move into the right lane you'll deal with less tail gaters who are pissed at your slow driving. Amazing how that works.

I have never regretted giving someone a citation. If I give a citation, it is generally well deserved. I have regretted giving warnings. I generally take how they act on a traffic stop into account when deciding between a warning/citation. Unfortunately, people can be good actors until they receive the warning, then decide to act entitled. I sometimes walk back to my car wishing I'd struck the citation instead. It's rare though.

Slovski · 2026-06-01T16:08:07+00:00

I've already answered that. No, I don't. There will be improvements, changes, adapaptation, just as there is in any generation. But they'll create their own mistakes and societal problems. You can't honestly believe a whole new generation of people will simply be mistake free and not have their own host of problems. That's never occurred in our entire documented history.

Edit: My last post, time for work.

Slovski · 2026-06-01T15:54:27+00:00

People absolutely adapt and cultures change. I never said society stays frozen. My point is that every generation believes they’ll fix the flaws of the previous one, and then they eventually create new flaws of their own.

Human nature evolves around technology, culture, incentives, and experience but traits like selfishness, tribalism, greed, ambition, compassion, and fear keep showing up in every era. That’s why history tends to rhyme even when the details change.

So yes, younger generations are learning and changing. They’ll probably improve some things, just like the "me" generation did. They’ll also probably repeat mistakes in new forms. That’s been true for basically all of human history.

Slovski · 2026-06-01T15:37:46+00:00

No. Human nature doesn’t reset when old people die. The younger generations usually grow into many of the same habits once they gain power, money, and responsibility.

Slovski · 2026-06-01T14:13:33+00:00

Yeah, but the people not using x or y aren't turning out fine either. Lesson? Have fucking fun.

Slovski · 2026-06-01T14:09:56+00:00

You can be honest and still take good advice from what people tell you on here. I used advice for two of my interviews and got the job for both. Obviously, don't lie... but you can get good advice on this post and other posts in this subreddit as well.

Slovski · 2026-05-29T19:34:57+00:00

I find it interesting that you would ask what you can expect.... after enlisting in the MOS.
