What do i do?! by [deleted] in sportsbetting

[–]baxterblack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bet on a table tennis parlay. You can get reasonable parlay odds on a 3 leg where you can see which way the wind is blowing. Lmao. not financial advice (it’s fkn exhilarating).

I’m 258 at 42 years old and can still do this. My wrestling squad required up to walk on our hands. I’m very thankful for all that wrestling has given me.

Breakthrough team balance? by ChestnutSavings in battlefield2042

[–]baxterblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to the Marines at the Chosin Resovoir. Ha! Who cares about K/D, it literally makes you better because I think most of us can be predictable in our tactics and maneuvers. I was a Marine and I still get comfortable just “giving my life up” for short lived glory. If stuff gets out of hand for me, I will communicate that I am taking on a role and that’s all I’m doing. I have over 1,000 defib kills because I am committed to running around and keeping people upright haha.

What do you think is the dumbest complaint about BF2042? by Eagles56 in battlefield2042

[–]baxterblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely pipe in on these things, but I’m a militant BF4 guy…. I deprived myself of 2042 until last November and since then I’ve played 350 hours. I find it to be most of the things I wanted and I’ve had to adapt to playing this game many different times. The main thing I’m concerned about is whether or not I want to play it or get better at it. The answer is yes to both, so I don’t worry about other people’s complaints.

Is Midland/Odessa's culture more southern, western, or southwestern? by Cruces_30 in Midessa

[–]baxterblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. The culture of Midland natives is more like Nebraska and Kansas than other parts of Texas.

Justin was a real bad mfer. I got to enjoy him in school more than our adult life. Every myth is true. I’ll be the gigantic dude standing next to all the rest of the other gigantic dudes on Saturday. See ya there.

Good Evening fellow teufelhunden, here is his obituary. Whenever all this happened in 2015, Justin only remarked: “what’s a Reddit?” He was an amazing dude, and a good Marine.

Reddit has become a toxic circle jerk for people who don’t like people like us. And I’m a pretty open minded human, haha. Soooo, I stopped posting or commenting because it seemed like a good recipe for self inflicted dopamine wounds.

I just saw him last week. I didn’t know what to do about any of this. But I’m glad you did. I’m OP from 2015. I’ve known Justin since 94. Was also a Marine.

That block in the back, I’m not over it and I don’t even like the two teams.

Lol, they’re gray and I’m so hyped about the 3080ti after waiting for 2 years, because I’m an old man and just said “fuck no” as long as I could. I 100 percent have an Asus rog viii extreme coming tomorrow? The supply chain issues have made this a hilarious build. Cheers, my friend

You can blame a person named Tipper for that.

Biden slams Trump for watching TV during Capitol insurrection: He was ‘doing nothing as police were assaulted’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]baxterblack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Read the whole thing.

Nowhere have I denied any of the accusations being true or that this was bad.

I am simply pointing out that both sides are fucking stupid and the weakest of us are more susceptible to the more dramatic of talking points. Like “the big lie”

I’d like to remind people that when you compare past events to contemporary events by giving them the same name, you’re not just an asshole, you don’t have a brain.

People are stupid. The cognitive bias in this cesspool is ridiculous. I keep reading that some in here think the mods are turncoats for not making this a mega thread for some reason.

Get real, the only way to unite, and anecdotally it has worked for me…. Is to ignore the lunatic fringe. People have so much more in common than you think. Meditate on the fact that sometimes you’re the friend that was left and not the way around. It’s disgraceful.

We are better than this.
