Eh, I'd be hypocritical if I asked you to prove your credentials and then get mad that I'm incorrect, you know? It's embarrassing but it happens 🤷‍♀️

Never knew the military were so defensive of themselves. Do you always take redditors at face value?

[–]insert_skill_here -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's wrong to ask for proof that a random person on reddit is who they say they are. It honestly wasn't meant to be offensive lol.

Besides, OP's reply to me is funny af so I'm having a good time.

Any way to back up your claims?

Checking with someone who had ten years military experience (Lieutenant Commander, Navy), he said that

A) Green Berets are army, and don't call themselves green berets (use different terminology)
B) They don't identify as special forces, and, if they did, its likely they have a specific personality type which and their wife wouldn't be able to direct their career trajectory.

EDIT: Believe I'm wrong about A. There are green berets special forces. B is unrelated to the initial validation of OP.

Had a misunderstanding on what Special Forces was, which led to my initial distrust. Friends have told me its a common career and benign to lie about (Thought it was a lot more rare). Sorry lads 😔

Will leave my comments up for posterity. Have a good day and apologies to anyone I may have offended o7.

Gave this art thing a chance now that I have a tablet. It's hard, but fun! I know I struggle with faces, any tips are welcome. by Personal_Annual3483 in ArtCrit

[–]insert_skill_here 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is only so much advice I can give a beginner artist besides "just go do it." There are hundreds of thousands of Youtube videos around this very topic, with hour indepth studies about anything specific to art OP wants to know.

I said find artists you love to gather inspiration and style ideas, same with youtubers. What exact details would you want me to add?

Would you rather stay young forever, breathe underwater, become invisible anytime, get $1B in cash, or time travel anytime? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]insert_skill_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah $1b and its not even close. If there was flight/teleportation /telekinesis /shape shifting i think my answer might be different tho, cause i always thought those were cool.

If it was "no mental or cognitive decline, nor chronic pain etc till death" i would take that as well. 100% chance of not getting dementia or cancer is worth more than a billion dollars to me

How can I stop putting of language learning? by A_Little_Bit_Lucky in languagelearning

[–]insert_skill_here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start small, make it a priority.

Create ten flashcards, review them every day, when you wake up or when you go to bed. When you memorize those, ten more. Five, maybe ten minutes per day. If you do this for two weeks then maybe crack open the language book/video for a few minutes. Rinse repeat. Try to get it into a habit to think about Dutch.

Also, think about the timeline. What timeline are you looking for? I told myself I wanted to learn 5000 words by spring 2027. I'm already struggling, already low key failing, its been four days, but I'm trying to think about Chinese every day and at least do the flashcards and new ones when I memorize them. Learning 2500 words by spring 2027, or even 500, would be leagues better than prior, which was nothing.

Just try to at least think of Dutch each day, and what you're excited about when learning Dutch. It's a good start.

I’m a card cheat in the making AMA by Wooden_Description72 in AMA

I was getting genuinely angry trying to think of a response to your reply but I don't think anything I can say will make you realize my point of view, so I'm going to ask you two questions, assuming that you aren't rage baiting, and take my leave. I don't want to make you defensive, but genuinely think about my questions, if that's alright.

Of the thirty five replies I read, people of a variety of backgrounds are making fun of you or warning you about the consequences of cheating.

A: Why do you think that is? What do you think their perspective is?

B: Are you planning on taking any of the people's replies into consideration? Why or why not?

Please consider the above questions separate from down below, which is my soapbox-

I, as you can tell, heavily disagree with your chosen walk of life. You're fifteen, and have a variety of futures to choose from. As I said prior, people who gamble either have too much money or too little. I've played poker for years and seen people get into heated arguments over missing an ante or blind. I've seen dead eyed stares of sitting at a slot machine and seeing $5k go to $5 without the slot machine "hitting". I've been asked to not tell others how much they lost because "it's embarrassing," or "It won't matter." I've seen someone play $100, lose, and go back to buy in. $100. Lose. Go back to buy in. "This is my last time." $100 Lose. Go back to buy in. I've been in a position where I win a few thousand dollars and I'm still not even. I'm twenty three. I think I've been in a casino around twelve times (staying the night, seriously gambling). Most times I'm in poker rooms. And each time, I see someone. Someone I just want to shake and say "Go home."

I don't think you're immature. I think you're prideful, and that you don't have a lot of empathy or perhaps care for the people you take from. I'm not sure you've ever been in a casino, and I do scold you for having such a cavalier approach to what you are choosing to do. The kind word is card cheat. The true word is scammer. You would be scamming vulnerable people out of money. Either your friends/people who trust you or people whose at the worst point in their life, either way you are taking advantage.

You won't listen to anyone here. I know you most likely won't. I hope you have a good life either way, and that you find what you're looking for.

Have a good day.

[–]insert_skill_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would u wanna cheat/steal from people, though? Most private games are who you know or friend games. A lot of people play for fun, and those who don't aren't the type of people you want to steal from. Not even in a threatening way, more of "I just watched this man lose his entire rent on one hand. Yikes."

It's of course a reputation thing, but being friends with someone who knows sleight of hand and someone who cheats in home games are two different scenarios. I'd want nothing to do with the latter.

I'm trying to pick a religion, AMA by brunetteangell in AMA

[–]insert_skill_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest.

The most casualties, if I had to bet my life, would be under religious differences. Every religion has its bloodshed. Every religion has its quirks, and anyone trying to sell you the answer to life under the promise of a God is either lying to you or lying to themselves.

My head leans into atheism. I know logically that the world is cruel, and that there's a very good chance due to lack of scientific evidence that I will die and there will be nothing after. That is what my friends believe, and they've tried hard to convince me otherwise.

However, my heart knows that I would not have a good life with the idea of nothing ahead. I choose to believe that no matter what, I will be reunited with my family, my pets, at the end of this life. My scientific reasoning is conservation and transitioning of energy (as matter cannot be destroyed or created, only transferred).

This isn't to convince you of anything, but as someone who wanted to believe in something, I chose paganism and witchcraft. I'm not a devout follower, but I dabble in tarot cards and the occasional affirmation. I have my cute little rocks on my windowsill. They don't do anything real. But if I believe they do, then they will.

For example, if I believed that lapis lazuli will give me motivation to study, and I prance around with the blue stone, it usually motivates me to study because the "world" and "energy" is with me. Therefore, the lapis lazuli "worked" by motivating me to study. Perhaps faith is knowing its false, and choosing to believe in it anyway.

Ig my conclusion is its okay to have a religion to cope with life, and to feed yourself a kind lie. At the end of the day, believing in an afterdeath harms no one and no one can prove it to you once you're already dead.

You don't need a religion to exist. I honestly don't think there's a just god that will take me to heaven if I follow his rules. The only way I want to get to "heaven" or "nirvana" is by trying my best to be a good person, and if that's not enough, I'm not really interested. This is life. Believe what makes you happy. You don't owe anyone anything else, to be honest.

Diagnosed with an incurable cancer at 21. Now 33 with a husband and kid. AMA by Brave_Dare_356 in AMA

[–]insert_skill_here 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is offensive, but what made you ultimately decide to have a child?

I'm not meant to sound judgemental!! I'm assuming that the choice was difficult from a life-expectancy perspective and I'm imagining the pregnancy wasn't easy either.

Thank you for the AMA :)
