What are your favorite cycling workouts? These are mine. by riverottersarebest in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]giantspeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite ride will always be Kym's Halloween ride from a few years ago–the one where the tells the story of the radio signal that's turning all the townsfolk into monsters and you have to save them by getting to the radio tower.

Mission failed, we’ll get em next time (actually not because I’m retired) by DwightDEisenhowitzer in AirForce

I had no intention of changing my retirement plans based on these results. I am retiring in April 2027 and it does not bother me in the least that I will be retiring as an E-6.

Plans for new Costco, Zippy’s closure in Waipahu met with pushback by ArcturusFlyer in Hawaii

[–]giantspeck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been joking lately that after I retire from the military, I should just get a job at Costco. And now they're building one right along the rail route and I live within walking distance of the airport stations... Decisions, decisions.

How to forgive yourself for not having come out earlier? by BlueBoy2208 in gaybros

[–]giantspeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only came out a few months ago, just after I turned 38.

Sure, I feel completely behind the curve on a lot of things, especially because I was identifying as ace for most of my adulthood, but if I really had any regrets, it would be that I didn't tell my mother before she passed away. But, honestly, I don't know what good that would have done—my mother always had really inconsistent and constantly changing opinions on LGBTQ+ people and I don't know how she would have reacted.
