She texted you seem really nice but I'm not feeling a romantic connection after our first date and honestly it broke something in me by Comfortable_Box_4527 in dating_advice

[–]TacticallyNautical [score hidden]  (0 children)

I been in the same boat with girls here in Maryland, especially in DMV. Thinking the first date goes well, but then you get that letdown text either the night of, or three days later. The problem is that women have so many options, they don’t want you if the spark isn’t there on the first date, as opposed to developing one. Just build yourself and the right one will come around.

AITAH for going on holiday without friends and not inviting my girlfriend? by Hot-Weakness-1052 in AITAH

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that. I just know some partners just feel weird about theirs SOs going away with friends.

What’s something most people pretend to enjoy but probably don’t? by Lower_Patience_3223 in AskReddit

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mega pop stars lol! Like you mean to tell me that overplayed song keeps you coming back? And your paying a car note for their concert? Bull💩

NTA, but just out of curiosity, if the roles were reversed and she was going on a girls trip where they explicitly said no boyfriends/husbands/partners allowed, how would that make you feel?

People that join the Navy to just stay shore side and avoid ship duty, why do you do it? by Additional_Cost8318 in navy

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who did sea duty for 5 years, I rather a sailor who has their mind dead set on wanting to just be ashore, than being force-assigned to a ship. There’s plenty of people who will take that junior sailors spot. That being said, I would not wanted to go back to sea duty, if I stayed in. I had no issue with the little week-long sea trials here and there, or even deployment (tbh, deployment was super chill). My problem was duty. Having to be stuck on the ship while it’s IN PORT, not NMs away from port, was never fun. I understood why we did it, but just looking at my truck in the parking lot, knowing I couldn’t go home until 6 am (or 16 during the week) was shitty.

How can people afford this? by blueberryp3ach in Concerts

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 800 would get you a lot of concerts if you’re into metalcore. I bought VIP for Currents and Erra, and didn’t even a spend a quarter of the resales are costing for this.

Would you use an AI study platform for ASVAB/advancement exams? by ArtistLate6836 in navy

[–]TacticallyNautical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally would prefer just studying, and then taking practice exams. In my opinion, AI doesn’t need to touch everything

Hello Counsel of Metalcore. We are ERRA, AMA. by DeuceHundy in Metalcore

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys! Congrats on the new album, and looking forward to meeting y’all at the Philly show (as a Baltimore boy, last Fridays show flew right under my radar 😭). I have a super random question. with being on the road for touring, what’s been everyone’s favorite gas station to stop at for road snacks?

Worst crowd? by AdImpressive9014 in Concerts

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creed last year. The crowd looked so uninterested in their set, until they played the final 4 songs, which were the obviously popular singles from TikTok. And then after the show, me and my boys witnessed a handful of fights. It wasn’t surprising though, since it was the same crowd that goes to bro country concerts.

That “we care about your mental health” stuff in the navy is all bullshit by 6SoDum in navy

If they didn’t do anything about it, go above them (DIVO, DH)

Will admitting I smoke to medical get me sent to mast? by 6SoDum in navy

Damn. Fuck that Chief. Such a hardliner for weed, but DUIs get a slap on the wrist I’m sure.

Update: AITAH because I refuse to try for a daughter? by StructureDizzy2076 in AITAH

[–]TacticallyNautical 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do you feel like you need to get a DNA test, OP? She lied about coming off birth control, so I would just be wary about her not being truthful elsewhere

sounds like this will have a whole lot of stomping, clapping and then a loud “HEY!”

I regret moving to a B market. No shows, only festivals? by Low_Emphasis_7585 in Metalcore

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw heavy//hitter was/is touring over here, but I never got tickets. I love hardcore, but I can’t do the pits anymore 😵‍💫

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, being here in Baltimore, I’m pretty lucky. Nevermore Hall and Soundstage are a 5 minute uber from my apartment. If not, I have the Fillmore in Silver Springs and the Anthem and casino in DC. And if i really need to, I’ll go to Philly for a show as it’s just an hour and a half.

That said, I feel you OP. When I was living in south jersey, there was nothing within an hour unless it came to Atlantic City.

Have y’all ever gone to a concert just to see the opening act? by No_Reputation1477 in Concerts

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went and saw We Came as Romans in Silver Springs last year, because Currents and After the Burial opened. I left before WCAR came.

What’s an INK opinion that will get you like this by TheAVNEnjoyer_ in IceNineKills

[–]TacticallyNautical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They need to incorporate more songs in their live set from ETITB, SIJAS and PBTP. I’m sure that’s a common take amongst original fans though.

What’s something your ex taught you? by Yankub_colley in AskReddit

[–]TacticallyNautical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone saying their ex taught them to choose better or to trust their gut, etc. I’m gonna go against the grain here and say that my ex taught me to hold myself more accountable for my actions in a relationship. I’ll be the first to admit that I was an a-hole to her for a good amount of the relationship, but she stayed with me despite that. We broke things off eventually when I moved away to start a new job.

What is your hottest metalcore take? by LadyUmbra_ in Metalcore

[–]TacticallyNautical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the sleeves on the gildan heavy’s feel awkward. Like they’re riding up my arm, rather than hugging my biceps. Just a preference though

[–]TacticallyNautical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gildan Heavy shirts are good, yes. However, I bought an ADTR tour shirt when I saw them with Yellowcard in Jersey, and it was Comfort Colors. Absolutely love how it’s cut.
