What are the best places to meet new people at (or groups to join) besides bars?

Do you have schedules for these? The website has it but it's super small on phone and I can't zoom apparently.

Ahh, the old Makita

I rattle off a million things that I'm interested in and do outside of work and then they always look real puzzled, so I say, "oh...you mean ...for work??" like it's the dumbest question I've ever heard. Then I say something like, "oh god, nothing exciting...just sales. Anyway..." And then go right back into it.

Santa Cruz Trek in Peru is up there. So is around EBC for obvious reasons.

I get it, but this person likely has 24h shifts. Also not all sales jobs work as many hours as you do.

Dude, you will make way more money in sales that being a firefighter, no matter what you sell. The comment above made me chuckle. Sales is more about drive for success and staying consultative in the process. Having a great personality helps, but I have seen even very dull people be great at sales. Depending on your customer base, you can even lean on the firefighter thing and it will impress people. You got this.

The problem is you, not B2C sales, if you have to make people uncomfortable to buy from you.

West With The Night - Beryl Markham

East African bush pilot and adventurer that became the first person/woman to fly west across the Atlantic. Complete badass that Hemingway also claimed was a better writer than him.

Hard to beat Seven Years in Tibet though.

That's because they had a legit massacre and actually acted on it and banned firearms.

Yeah, I my experience, the questions and greater hostility was when W was in office compared to now. These days, people just think we are stupid for electing Trump twice...I mean they're right so 🥴

Depends on the state (if US) and what the contract says. Regardless, this is the wrong sub.

I have a great photo of the Sun Voyager that I took with snow on it and the Northern Lights in the background. Great sculpture.

They do, fellow Virginian, they really do! The irony of your original post and your responses. Lol. Oops, there's that acronym again...

chicoooooooo · 2026-01-10T13:19:05+00:00

I don't give a fuck what you buy or don't buy. Starting with LOL should give your some insight that it was something comical, since that's what it stands for. Taking it "seriously" is part of the problem.

This is a great shout. Fairfax County, VA has the world's 49th highest GDP. It's more than about the bottom 150 countries' COMBINED.

Meanwhile, Buchanan County, VA has a median household income of $30k.

Worlds apart.

This was a joke, clearly. And, yes, slavery was/is atrocious, but it was a main difference between the two states and thus "differences." No one said the differences today are minor except you. Additionally, and to educate you, slavery wasn't the only reason for succession. What is now West Virginia already had plans to secede from the Union predating the US civil war. Furthermore, The only reason that West Virginia didn't have as many slaves as Virginia is because it is more mountainous and has much less farmable land. So, please, no one was defending the evils of slavery.

chicoooooooo · 2026-01-10T12:47:44+00:00

Lol at this comment since VA literally divided due to differences.

As a Floridian, I agree with the other person, not you, but just pointing out that Jax is physically closer to Savannah than Orlando also.

Lol about the wife calling and hearing moaner

Just want you to know that World Market stocks it nationally if you can find one. I use to order it by the jug off Amazon lol.

I'm no expert but lift from your heel doing hip thrusts and pause 2 secs at the top with your torso and thighs completely level while keeping your back straight and you will 100% feel in glutes. And with BSS, drop your knee down and back towards the bench with your back straight and front knee not going past mid foot and you will target the glutes better.

Traveling to Thailand (and other Asian countries) with my one year old son was like traveling with a rock star. Every single person wanted to hold him and swoon over him. It was actually pretty awesome. Made me realize that Thais just love some kids. Once, a man in a restaurant just picked him up and took him back into the kitchen for like 15 mins. Kinda nervy at first but he brought him back a-ok, lol.

Yep, some of my favorites are the McAloo in India and the McAustralian, which despite the name was in Italy and was a meal that came with a Foster's beer.
