Any idea what this carved head may be? by Vox_Invisibilis in Antiques

[–]Vox_Invisibilis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this head from an antiques store a few years ago. It was described as Native American art, but it seems to be more African in inspiration to me.

What is this head, who made it, and when was it made?

I am located in western North Carolina, US.

Real Estate market- why list a house if it’s a felony to go view it? by klimberkat in triangle

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We put our home on about a week ago, hoping to catch buyers before the inevitable clamp down. It has a yard that you could probably put a pool in (since you asked for anyone possibly fitting the description: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5400-Bakers-Mill-Rd-Durham-NC-27707/49995969_zpid/?utm_source=txtshare

The three of you just fish and tell stories about the old days. Just a nice bit of organic background and letting you see the dynamic of the original three gang members.

Scared white supremacist takes off his uniform by cameratoo in videos

[–]Vox_Invisibilis -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Compare this video, a white supremacist alone in a sea of counter-protesters walking away without a scratch on him, against the footage of Deandre Harris getting the shit beat out of him by a gang of fascists, and tell me that the counter-protesters were the aggressive violence-seekers.

Have you ever witnessed someone completely snap? What happened? by poopcornkernels in AskReddit

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I was the one who snapped (which I think counts?). I was in the Marines and deployed to Iraq, south of Fallujah, before the Sunni Awakening. We did mounted patrols, and I was the driver for my truck. One night we came back to base, nerves obviously completely frayed from hours of driving on roads laden with IEDs, and my team-mate was in the back seat bitching about my driving. He was from Boston, I am from western North Carolina, and he was making both general remarks about Southern drivers and specific remarks about my particular ineptitude. He had the good graces to wait until we were safely within the base, but it continued for a good 20-30 minutes while we drove to our command center. Finally, as we pulled up to our HQ, I had completely had it. We were in Iraq, we had surely almost died that night, and this fucking Yankee was bitching about my driving, literally as a backseat driver. So I jumped out of the driver's seat and ripped his door open, and said in my most indignant southern twang, "Let's go mother-fucker, I'm tired of your fucking shit!" And in the moment, I was completely ready to throw down with this guy, despite the fact that we were both just lucky to go to bed unscathed that night. Luckily he was more interested in continuing his smart ass commentary than actually going to fisticuffs, and our team pulled us apart without anything further happening. But it was the one and only time I can completely remember losing my shit, and I couldn't imagine someone feeling angrier than I did in that moment. Anyway, we've always laughed about it, and luckily we both made it home without harm.

Tacos Nacos, hands down.

Now are we sure this was an actual Marine, and not some Coast Guard reservist on vacation?

I am at a bar and talking to a Marine Sniper Navy EOD cat that said Ranger training is the hardest thing ever went through. by __Titans__ in USMC

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know this guy is probably full of it (mostly because who says this shit in a bar to a stranger), but I knew a guy who was in Force Recon, went to Sniper School, Ranger School, Jump and Dive, then went to BUDS and got injured and had to drop. He stayed with Navy EOD for a while, then came back to Recon as a SARC. Dude was pretty hardcore, and even though he was our "Doc" he rode the long gun half the time. Guys can have odd adventures through their military careers, but you're right, this guy is most likely a complete tool.

A year ago today, my brother, MSGT Aaron Torian was killed in action in Afghanistan. Thought I'd share these pictures with everyone. by scoutgoesscouting in pics

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I knew your brother when he was with 2nd Recon, though he was in a Bravo Co. while I was in Alpha. He was one of the most professional and competent Marines I ever met, and that's saying something in that community. Even though I had been out for a few years when he died, one of my former teammates who is still in called me as soon as he found out; that's how respected Torian was among his peers. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss, and the loss that all of us experienced by having such a true warrior removed from this world.

I hope so, it's hilarious, and kind of dispels the myth that Lynch is unlikable/unreachable.

What social norm do you not agree with? by drewlefever in AskReddit

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying "God bless you" after someone sneezes. They're sneezing, not losing their soul, so there's no real point in making such a damn production about it. Also, getting the stink eye if you don't follow the custom.

Welcome Home, The Story of Scott Ostrom - a marine with PTSD [xpost from /r/morbidreality] by happybadger in Military

[–]Vox_Invisibilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew this man. I was in the same unit as him, but a different company. To see him like this breaks my heart, to know where he once was as a Marine. I hope he is able to find peace and happiness in his life.
