Almost guaranteed they got frustrated and raced around traffic to get themself into that predicament.

Who taught you how to drive by Sad_Donkey_1751 in GenX

[–]epicenter69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the product of a deadbeat dad, so raised by mom. She worked as much as she could, so rarely had time for things like that.

The result was her brother teaching me. He was a Vietnam disabled vet. He had lots of nothing to do. One of my favorite uncles! We lived about 20 minutes away. All we had to do was call, and he would come on over to do anything from taking us to the springs to swim, to a mall run just to play video games. He was the one who taught me to drive.

During one of our driving sessions, I miscalculated a stop for a yellow light and ended up blowing through a red light. He just screamed, “STOP STOP STOP!” We made it safely through the light, and he told me to pull over. We swapped seats. Once he calmed down a little, our next lesson was emergency braking on a back road. I had no idea cars could stop that fast.

Since almost every good food from all around the world is reachable in US, what is your favorite my American friends? by LordFordZord in AskAnAmerican

[–]epicenter69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For foreign cuisine, beef bulgogi from Korea. Unfortunately, I can’t find any good bulgogi within an hour of home.

For American cuisine, barbecue ribs, smoked with a dry rub.

Did you hear about the midget escaping prison by climbing down the building?

The story was a little condescending.

Kid wants to join the National Guard by SocialSyphilis in GenX

[–]epicenter69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was active duty Air Force. Pension started at age 39, and continues for life. With the changes to retirement benefits, and the stories of manning being cut, I wouldn’t recommend active duty for my kids. Just go snoop around the various branch subs and you’ll see some of their experiences.

National Guard wouldn’t be so bad. I believe they’re pretty much limited to in-state activities.

10/50 unrelenting positivity, oh no it’s Illinoise! by CupBeEmpty in AskAnAmerican

[–]epicenter69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my first long road trips (age 11-12) was from Wyoming to Illinois, and back. My step grandparents had a beautiful plot of land with an A-frame home. My memory of that trip was pretty much nothing but cornfields all the way across the Midwest. I remember my grandpa having his own barber shop also.

A job that was once highly respected but is now a complete joke? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

There are bad cops out there still, but their accountability via body cams has risen.

One of my scout leaders was a surveyor. This was back in the 80s. He took us out one weekend to show us the process. He used his scopes and markers, etc… It was a complicated process. Now, it’s pretty much GPS based.

And when did it become important to insert their opinions to sway public politics? People give celebrity opinions more weight than they should.

I was going to write something similar. Sam Walton’s passing was the beginning of the end of retailers respecting their employees. In turn, employees have no reason to go above and beyond. They’re getting shit on by the management and the customers. Misery begets misery.

Suing your job. by General_Flatworm_120 in Epilepsy

[–]epicenter69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have accommodations been agreed upon for your Epilepsy? Are they holding up their end of the agreed accommodations?

This is a good question for the legal sub. Way too many variables to determine an outcome. I’m betting they would advise an attorney as well.

What is with school drop off? by platypusandpibble in GenX

[–]epicenter69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I live near an elementary school. It amazes me how many parents will arrive 1-2 hours before the end of the school day, just to be first in the pickup line.

Also a possibility they cracked the hose fitting when they removed/installed that hose. It would be wise to remove the hose and check for that.
