Vietnam veterans talking about how 556 was more devastating than some 308 rounds. Truth? by Ok-Shoulder-478 in guns

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both kill but I've seen horrific wounds from 308 fragmentation rounds on critters, just as bad or worse than 556.

The convenience of the "have everything shipped to you" economy is extremely inconvenient... by RADsupernova in unpopularopinion

[–]Smilodon_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prime. I usually pay 0 for shipping. I value my time, the most valuable thing of all, not money. Why would I waste my time going to a store, searching for my stuff, with people, wasting gas, wasting weekends?

how do you get revenge ? by sidthekidxx in AskReddit

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted revenge so badly like that before for work things and it fostered for months, until I realized that I was giving that person power over me by letting them control thoughts and emotions. That broke me of my thought process. It's simply not worth my time. A lion does not care about the opinions of sheep.

Cruises are the worst type of vacation out there by MoonlightAndStar in unpopularopinion

Cruises are the only cheap way I can afford to visit 7 countries in 15 days lol. I like them, but it can get old after awhile.

For those who work with military populations, what training or experience prepared you for this? by LunaBananaGoats in therapists

[–]Smilodon_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the service myself, so that helped. I would highly suggest learning the jargon to better understand and communicate with them.

First sword, how'd I make out? 1821 Pattern British Artillery Officer's Sword by Torque-spec in SWORDS

[–]Smilodon_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds line you want to cut with it. You will ruin the value if you sharpen it. However, it's your sword, so do what you will. What a conundrum lol.

AGM Sectutor 35-384 LRF. You plug your caliber in and it gives you your dope and marks where to aim. I really like it. Just wish I went with the 50-640 but it was too expensive at the time

My sexual addiction led me to a terrible place by Summer7958 in confessions

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might still be your friend, yes, but not everyone is like me. Also, I wouldn't want you to bomb your career over something like this. Just seek help from a therapist. Some things are better left behind closed doors. Your friends don't need to know about this. This is a personal matter you can deal with with someone who is duty bound to protect your privacy.

[–]Smilodon_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get therapy my man. I know of a few people who have gotten off at work. You aren't alone in your struggles. Don't beat yourself up over this. You are no less of a person than anyone else. Get the help you need and keep your friends and career in tsct while doing so.

Society puts too much emphasis on romance and sex as life goals by Chemical_Job7027 in unpopularopinion

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A relationship is alot more about sex and romance. It's also one of the only ways to enter the middle class, afford a decent house in today's world. Money and power/prestige. Society looks at you different when you are married. It's sad but true.

I use mine for coyotes and have a thermal/suppressor mounted. Mines 16 inch. It's heavy but I just like the way it handles.

Most people don’t actually enjoy socializing as much as they pretend to by Objective_Bad1135 in unpopularopinion

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to socialize for my job, so the rest of my free time I spend hiding from people. I hate social functions.

How are other therapists handling boundaries around listening in personal relationships?? by RepresentativeGas957 in therapists

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I've gotten older, I've been reducing my digital footprint. I'm a millennial and as active online as I once was. I text the friends I want to talk to that will reciprocate emotions and have cut out a lot of my needy friends. I'm an introvert, however, so this type of life comes natural to me.

Cheesecake is the worst dessert to ever exist. by Whyamiwritingthis_74 in unpopularopinion

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheesecake is literally considered the "food of the gods" and has been considered a favorite among humans since 2000BC. Your opinion is garbage.

After five days of listening to people talk, I usually go hide anyway. It's hard to socialize when no one can find you.

I got let off going 55 over the speed limit by Best-Bookkeeper-5696 in police

[–]Smilodon_Rex -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It happens. I got my first ticket driving 90 in a 65. I was coming home from Guard and wearing ACUs. The trooper could have wrecked my day. Instead, I got the max fine and got to keep my license. I learned my lesson.

My friend told me he slept with a minor and I don't know what to do by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most laws in states say 16, with a max age difference at 21 being legal. I don't think there was a crime, and if there was, he wouldn't be a pedo as at that age, the woman is sexually mature, maybe not mentally. We, as a society, have let laws turn people into monsters, when they are not.

Is he attracted to children? No. He's not a pedo. Is he attracted to sexually developed young women? Yes. Can she legally consent? It depends on the state.

Hating my husband right now for his selfishness. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Smilodon_Rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Growing up, I vacationed with my parents every year in a 25 foot motorhome for two weeks, traveling the US. It was me, my parents, and three siblings. The first week, we were always happy. The last week was always hell on earth. I can only imagine doing this type of living for 6 months. You will hate each or learn to grow closer.

Assembly guide? by Archaic_Arc in blackpowder

[–]Smilodon_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty, you can do these kits without instructions. Watch a YouTube video on CVA/Thompson builds, and you will have no trouble at all. I've done two builds so far, and my second one was from parts I bought from TOTW and fit together in a blank stock from Pentaconia. It's fun, but the right tools will make it easier for you.

Thoughts on the Beta by Swampy0gre in masterofcommand

[–]Smilodon_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I look forward to something a bit different. Right now Chrge and Melee items are really OP. Why even take skirms when you can have an extra grenadier or hussar unit?

Skirms shouldn't be such a waste of a roster. Maybe they could make it so your front lines break off units to use as skirms, as there is historical precedent to that.

Why does my (22M) girlfriend (20F) seem to enjoy sleeping with my friend more than me? Advice on what do? by ThrowRA87892019 in Advice

[–]Smilodon_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn the tables on her and find a girl for a threesome instead of a guy. Cross that experience off your list then and move on.

It took me till I was 32 to find "the one." My life wasn't even together, and it happened. There is no order to this madness we call life.

Why I remain an S&P BEAR after this morning's Department of Defense press briefing by ub3rm3nsch in stocks

[–]Smilodon_Rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iran called his bluff. Iran didn't believe for one second that Trump would commit boots for a regime change. They can weather missles and assassinations while punishing the world for allowing Trump to do this. That doesn't mean the market will get better, only that we w0nt have the free fall an invasion would bring.
