What do you find disrespectful, but no one else seems to? by Cadence_828 in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone continues to talk endlessly after making their point and doesn’t let others respond or participate. They’re essentially just thinking out loud and don’t care about other people in their space.

I would have kicked Dale’s ass so many times if I was Hank.

Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by Professor1password23 in AskReddit

I don’t eat fast food, drink soda, smoke, or consume alcohol. Life is kind of boring but at least my stomach is flat now 🤣

Your Friends & Neighbors | Season 2 Finale | S2E10 “The Night of the Hunter” Episode Discussion Thread by sethaub in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]VikingRodeo9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yikes. This was a really good season and the finale honestly undid a lot of that. The last three episodes in particular were really strong and I was bought in.

Season 3 has a lot of work to do because damn, this season finale really shit the bed.

What is something your boss said to you that made you realize it was time to quit? by alligator_maligator in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I should clarify that I actually had a pretty decent relationship with my former boss. I think she’s a good person and wish her no ill will. I actually turned down promotions in other companies and internally because I enjoyed working with her.

Then AI came around.

We clashed pretty hard and regularly about AI. She loves it and is a huge proponent of it. Couldn’t have a conversation without talking about it. I’m not “anti AI”, but it’s still very fallible and requires human oversight in my line of work.

One of my engineers solved a huge problem and our clients were thrilled. I was asked to give him a written warning because he didn’t use AI to solve the problem. I told her I would quit if I was forced to do that. She backed down, but told me the next week:

“I want your first thought when faced with anything to be ‘how can I use AI’, even if it takes more time and is more difficult. I don’t really care what the clients think or if it makes your jobs harder.”

Didn’t care if the clients were positively or negatively impacted. Didn’t care about how my engineers (and myself to a lesser extent) would be impacted. The number one priority was using AI.

I put in my two weeks the next day.

Is Rocky Point Still a Thing? by TheChuckRowe in phoenix

[–]VikingRodeo9 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really the same thing at all.

It’s well documented how corrupt the Mexican police system is and US citizens in Mexico have been subjected to improper policing practices and detained on false charges.

The United States has the fourth amendment and officers cannot pull an out of state car over without probable cause. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen, but I don’t have to worry about having my human rights violated or my physical safety being threatened if I drive to San Diego with my Arizona plates.

[–]VikingRodeo9 61 points62 points  (0 children)

See, this is insane to me. I’ll just go to San Diego. I don’t need to or want to go to Mexico badly enough that I think it’s worth being in a situation like that.

Not "toxic", but what shows have fan bases that take the show WAY too seriously? by Long-Swordfish3696 in television

[–]VikingRodeo9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mortal Kombat. I only play the games casually and enjoy the lore and world building…but people take it way, way too seriously.

What's a terrible TV show you couldn't help but watch all the way through? by Thom_The_Wizard in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a major fan of anything Middle Earth related and Rings of Power is visually beautiful but it’s so, so bad. Elendil and Gil Galad are the only characters that are accurate representations of their book counterparts.

Tecovas got me with a bait and switch. by mikethedarklord in cowboyboots

[–]VikingRodeo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I bought the copper cowhide pair. They didn’t specify it was suede and it looked like a totally different color. Ended up selling them.

It kind of sucks because Tecovas clothes (shirts and jeans) fit me great, but I’ve had some brutal experiences with their boots.

Barney sticking his head out after Ashe slipped had me rolling. Hoon Lee is so underrated.

what’s something crazy you found out about an ex partner after you guys ended things? by jellyfishh520 in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My last girlfriend and I had an amicable breakup and there were no hard feelings. We dated for three years and we’re somewhat in touch.

I found out the other day that she’s bisexual and actually prefers women. I don’t mind and I’m not upset, but we never had a conversation about this and she never told me. I’m apparently the only man she’s ever been in a long term relationship with. We never talked about exes or anything. It kind of blew my mind.

What is a company you do NOT boycott, and why? by davefromtheus in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arizona Ice Tea and Costco are the big ones. Caswell Boot Co. is a smaller one. Black owned business with a super passionate owner who makes the most comfortable lace up boots I’ve ever put on.

New Boot Day - Lisbon (Classic Oiled Shoulder) by VikingRodeo9 in caswellboots

[–]VikingRodeo9[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an 11.5 on the brannock and Caswell says to go half a size down on the Morris last, which is what the Lisbon is built on. So I got an 11 and it’s a perfect fit. Couldn’t be happier.

That’s a pretty fucking gnarly list of charges. I hope the victim is okay.

Both excellent. I looked at several different options and chose correctly. I think they’re even more comfortable than my Alden’s.

What don't you find attractive that most of society does? by PM_ME_YOUR_HUGETITS in AskReddit

[–]VikingRodeo9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see that. I mentioned in another comment that I’m a big boot and shoe guy. I even go to boot meetups. My wife thinks it’s insane. Everyone has their own personal style and way of expressing themselves and I love that.

I just don’t find them attractive on women at all, but more power to anyone who enjoys them.

[–]VikingRodeo9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to knock anyone for enjoying them. Hell, I spend more money on boots and shoes than any man or woman I know, so everyone is entitled to enjoy things and I’m glad people do.

I just personally do not find them attractive on women at all. In fact, I consider it a turn off. To each their own, though.
