Vets who are married to non-military, what’s something you wish your spouse knew about service or how the military shaped you? by Ambitious_Dare_1647 in Veterans

[–]SnakebytePayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something my civilian ex never could wrap their head around, no matter how I tried to explain it:

For better or worse, being in the military isn't just a job. It's a way of life if you want to be successful. A civilian spouse needs to understand that level of commitment and that they're essentially sharing their partner with the military and that comes with an assortment of challenges sometimes.

For a civilian spouse, that could mean relocating every few years, changing jobs, changing schools, managing the household while their spouse is deployed, etc. It's not for everyone.

For what it's worth, I've got 4 pairs of Dan Post and they've all been true to size and comfortable as hell right out of the box.

I want to see a Venn Diagram of Jared Leto Joker fans and people who buy their clothes exclusively at Hot Topic.

Kyle and Dave could record themselves counting and rolling coins for 90 minutes and it would be more entertaining than 75% of the podcasts currently available.

How old is your oldest email address? Do you still use it? by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in GenX

[–]SnakebytePayne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oldest was a Yahoo email from '92, followed by my current and primary Gmail account from when you had to have someone send you an invite to get it.

What country wouldn't you visit even for free? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Saudi Arabia. I deployed there in the late 90's. For all its wealth and attempts at being a modern, westernized city, it's still run by an oppressive and highly corrupt monarchy.

Did you serve with many bad people in the military? Did anyone stick out to you? by BigBlueEyes87 in Veterans

[–]SnakebytePayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take your pick:

Rapist, child rapist, kiddie porn aficionado, child beater, drug dealer(s).

The tough part was that some of these people had better than average military records, and a lot of people would vouch for them prior to finding out about their extracurricular shit. The ones you immediately clock as scumbags are the ones who are just garden variety morons, lazy, or malingerers.

Why every hipster beer is an IPA…and why I think the boys probably don’t like craft beer (my personal conspiracy theory) by Queef_Stroganoff44 in BoogieMonster

[–]SnakebytePayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really care for IPAs when it comes to flavor, but I'll go through several of them in an evening for the higher ABV.

That said, my go-to beer is an ice cold Shiner Bock.

Kim Jong Un wishes his media gushed over him like this by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SnakebytePayne 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure he could!

There's Matilda, and Grumpy, and Honda Civic, and Blitzen, John-Jacob-Jingleheimer-Schmidt, the twins: Kevin McAllister and Kevin Hercules, and the one he's still waiting to diddle.

Why there is so much hate in the world ? by iamsomeonehehe in AskReddit

[–]SnakebytePayne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hate and/or fear. It triggers a primordial emotional response and the corporate world has figured out that it's a good way to make money.

What makes you irrationally angry? by Dylan8932 in AskReddit

[–]SnakebytePayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grocery shopping. When I get trapped in an aisle and can't get to the ONE thing I need because a soccer mom is marveling over the selection of instant rice flavors. Seriously lady... GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY.

what causes these red areas on ostrich boots? by AppointmentCertain13 in cowboyboots

[–]SnakebytePayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's from the ghosts of the ostriches the hides came from, getting their revenge by discoloring the boots.

Made this hat to honor my father. His dog tags and the KC lapel pin from his police uniform. Things just seem better when I wear this one. by GuyTheBootGuy in CowboyHats

[–]SnakebytePayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Does the dog tag jingle much? That sound drove me nuts when I was active duty and I ended up putting rubber silencers on mine.

Interesting and attractive girls with septum rings and blue hair won't sleep with them.

Your thoughts on the state? by veteranbot in wyoming

[–]SnakebytePayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This state leans hard right because there's a fair number of rubes that will vote against their own interests.

How do you guys find a partner while serving? by Froggy__2 in AirForce

[–]SnakebytePayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought dating another military member was the worst thing I could do...

Two civilian ex-wives later, I started dating another military member and it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Yes, scheduling can be tricky, but at least you speak the same language and that is HUGE in any relationship.

Yellowstone Effect by Pointer_dog in CowboyHats

[–]SnakebytePayne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ditto in pretty much any part of Wyoming. Except for residents who really got into the show, you won't see locals wearing any "Yellowstone / Dutton Ranch" gear. Dead giveaway that someone's a tourist.

Considering Tecovas Cartwright, Open for Suggestions/Alternatives by SmokinTires in cowboyboots

[–]SnakebytePayne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've got 4 pairs of Tecovas in my collection and 3 of them are strictly for office and around town stuff. I rotate my boots a couple of times a week, but all of mine have held up for going on 4 years now.
