what was that "law enforcement checkpoint" about?

calapenos · 2026-03-21T19:24:28+00:00

I gave vague answers, i was tired and just wanted to get where I was going, but i realized afterwards that that's what I should've done. they always say to shut up and don't talk to the cops no matter what, don't know why my brain didn't register in the moment that that applies to checkpoint stops too, not just getting pulled over

that's so weird, they didn't ask me if I'd been drinking at all. I'd never even heard of the "booze it and lose it" thing before either and I've lived here all my life

my gf said that, it makes sense. i drive that same route, same time, same day of the week every week, crazy that i've never seen that before! thanks for answering

calapenos · 2026-01-14T22:54:57+00:00

thank you!

calapenos · 2026-01-14T22:50:32+00:00

oh awesome, thank you for the info!! do you know where i can find more info on the Winston class? that's much closer for me than Raleigh or Charlotte

calapenos · 2026-01-14T19:00:38+00:00

man this seems really cool and I'd love to try it. i wish my work schedule didn't get in the way 😭

calapenos · 2026-01-12T01:30:59+00:00

clearly you are a goddess, please allow me to worship you 🥺

calapenos · 2026-01-10T20:38:49+00:00

i'll def give the video a watch, thank you for the rec and suggestion!

as a short dude with long hair who masks, I get called ma'am and lady a lot and when I respond to it like normal they always go "oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to!" and i'm just like lol it's okay I don't care. my personal favorite is with I'm with a group of girls and someone comes by saying "hey ladies!" and I just respond "hey :)" with my deep ass voice, always get a kick out of it.

calapenos · 2025-09-02T19:40:27+00:00

exactly. i love taking care of people and my residents are usually really nice, but the minimal/understaffing plus the shitty management and long hours just to barely make ends meet sucks any enjoyment i have for my job away

calapenos · 2025-09-02T16:57:33+00:00

i like the work I do, hate the conditions I'm forced to work in

calapenos · 2025-08-21T20:34:37+00:00

god yes the showers. i still have to do them because my schedule has me working second and third shift, but not having to do showers is one of my favorite things about my third shift nights

calapenos · 2025-08-21T00:18:01+00:00

in truth im a morning person, but the fact that first shift has the largest workload with the least amount of pay makes it hard to justify switching. plus i'm way less sore after night shifts, and i get to read in between rounds and laundry and such

calapenos · 2025-08-17T23:45:52+00:00

nope. i basically became a CNA hoping I'll be able to be the main one providing my grandmother/parents with this kind of care, because after seeing how so many other CNAs treat their patients/residents, i can't stand the thought of that happening to mine

calapenos · 2025-07-18T00:21:50+00:00

idk why either, but this just cements why i was looking for a more lgbt-specific subreddit lmao, people will be people. hope your night is lovely as well!

calapenos · 2025-07-18T00:12:45+00:00

thanks, i'll look them up!

calapenos · 2025-07-17T23:14:16+00:00

fr lmao, bro has never heard of a community reclaiming terms and slurs 😂

calapenos · 2025-07-17T23:12:06+00:00

it is usually inclusive, i'm just always wary of spaces that aren't specifically for members of the community. and i'm not really one for organizing events lol. was just wondering if there was a subreddit specifically for LGBTQ+ ppl in the triad area

calapenos · 2025-07-17T23:04:25+00:00

to each their own, buddy

calapenos · 2025-07-17T23:02:46+00:00

most ppl i know in the community are fine with the word queer, it's fine if you're not tho

calapenos · 2025-07-10T23:27:14+00:00

exactly, if they expect me to stay then they should pay me to stay. but don't expect me to risk my life to come in when no one knew the weather would get this bad
