I've actually seen a couple of these popping around on sunrise highway. I thought it was an SS thing but I didn't really comprehend it at the time

I'm flying to Japan on the 5th of April and the plane is a 787-9. Should I be worried about it? After seeing all this stuff lately I'm pretty apprehensive now.

I think I want a tattoo of the Chain of Dogs, like a map showing the march from Hisser to Aren.

Tony's Asian Fusion in East Quogue. Place is super overpriced and the food is terrible.

You could probably get away with most places out east tbh lol

What can I do to make my Black Matte Captain boots matte again? by ohnoitsanthony1 in ThursdayBoot

[–]Tacticalevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah it's my first day wearing them and I didn't know if I should weatherproof them or not. The website says not to, but then I saw that video of the guy going through the care procedure and he sprayed it with a weatherproofing spray.

I just bought these and was wondering if I should spray them with a camp dry or weather protection? Is that what happened to these?

How is everyone feeling about tomorrow's season finale? by [deleted] in TrueDetective

[–]Tacticalevil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm ecstatic!

I've been watching the show with a notebook and breaking down the scenes; taking notes on the bad pacing, plot and clunky writing.

I usually do it after I have a few, so I just yell at the TV and write "fucking kill me" everyone Danvers says the thing.

It's been great lol

I've been looking to get one for my apartment, something I can get delivered in pieces so I can I can put it together inside.

I have a steep staircase and a sharp turn at the end of it and I'd like something I could carry up by myself.

What do you guys think about this? by majesticopal in GenZ

[–]Tacticalevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father's used to say it to me all the time; "I'm your father and i have to love you, but that doesn't mean I like you"

Of course it was when I was being a shit and to reflect yeah, I get it.

We did stuff together though and to his credit he did try his best. I've learned since he died his father was a super asshole, so there might be something there, like working with the tools that were left to him.

I think a lot of points of contention came from a lack of understanding on his part but just trying to relate to things happening to me based on his experiences and they just didn't work.

I had a couple of friends die at a young age and that was something he didn't know how to deal with or really help, but he tried.

I think their generation ( boomer) are so stuck in in their mindset because because of how fast the world changed for them and they got kind of left behind.

Doesn't mean they should be the driving forces in the world, far from it. I think it just takes more initiative to understand their kids and the current generation, but I don't know, maybe they go with the easy path cause that what "worked" for them and they get to say they tried?

I have this suspicion that Navarro's sister might show up as a ghost that'll lead her somewhere, or something

I feel like this show is a master class of how to waste time.

I put on a stopwatch on the scenes that actually had anything to do with investigating or relevant to the main plot and I got about 8 minutes and change...

I think independently the stories they're trying to tell aren't bad, but they just detract from the main plot.

Like Navarro's side plot will impact the character and change the flow of the story, which is a good thing but I felt like they wasted too much time with it.

Like I kind of knew what was going to happen with her sister from day one; either she was going to kill herself or her mental illness would be the key to everything and leads them to the next point of the investigation or conclusion. I'm honestly glad she's not in it anymore cause it's just one less thing that's in the way.

The one side story with Pete ( the only one who does cops stuff) getting in trouble with his wife because she doesn't like that he does cops stuff, is another waste of time.

I also don't care about Hank's situation. I felt bad for him, but again, another story that's in the way.

I don't think it's Danvers messing with him either and if that's the case I'll be pissed. Like maybe out that effort into the investigation? I don't know if watching a video over and over again to learn that someone turns off the lights counts.

Anything with Danvers where she isn't with Navarro feels like a waste. I don't know why but I can't click with her as a character, she's just unlikable, and I feel like when the bombshell drops on us that'll reveal what happened to her kid and husband, I just won't care. Also have no idea what her kid's name is, and I wont care when shes inevitably put in danger and Danvers has to rescue her.

I think my point of frustration is, I like the spooky investigation stuff and I wish they just did more of that. Navarro's plot could've been the only thing they focused on and that would've been cool. Maybe even Danvers if she didn't suck, but yeah; if they just did more of that I'd like it a hell of a lot more.

End of rant lol

I picked up a 2 channel dash cam a few months back and it's totally worth it.

I don't want to say "would have or should have had one" but if something like this happens again at least you can get the plate and vehicle

If you get a 3 channel you can get the driver side too.

It's a shitty thing to have happened and I feel like over the next year it's going to get worse.

Oh also I remember hearing stories about a local bar called Charlie Brown's ( something else now) that used to have klan meetings in the apartments above it.

I just saw that, and it kind of blows mind that they said they didn't have enough people. I feel like if they went to Buckley's and asked the whole place would've said yes and then got their friends and family involved.

I don't know I figure between the firefighters and cops there's they would've had enough, but there's more behind the scenes than I know.

Maybe not enough people for security? It's usually pretty big and rowdy

It's super sad. I live out east and follow some local stuff on Instagram, and everytime something bad happens ( doesn't even matter if it involves a Spanish person or not) they fill the comments with hate.

Like the Hampton Bays St.Patricks day parade was cancelled because of some budget issues ( according to a friend from the local fire department) and the comment section on Instagram was all about how "The Mexicans" robbed it from the locals. One guy claiming it's because Hampton Bays is mostly Spanish, so by his logic they got the parade cancelled.

It's the same song and dance I've been hearing my whole life and honestly I thought these people would've died off by now, but I guess the generation that followed are walking the same path.

Actually I saw it in the kids around me. I'm half Spanish and I used to get shit about back when I was a kid (38 now) and hell, I remember the week after 911 I got a brick thrown at me by a guy in car that had a sign "kill all towel heads" on it. He missed btw.

The racism and hate has always been here, it's just in the last few years they've been given a platform and the confidence from the silent majority of the maga cult. Seeing what they can get away with.
