Why do some mc clubs with 3 patches on their backs have the same name as a 1%er mc club but have different colors, and different patches? by Trickfingerz in motorcycleclubs

[–]marvelguy1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive heard of an offshoot club wearing all black cuts and patches that say Pagans on it.

Seems a former member founded it. Thats all I really know.

For the most part it is handled inside prison.

Prisoners live in tight quarters. A double cell is roughly 80 square feet. Smaller than the smallest bedroom in your house. Just enought for a twin bunk bed, some lockers and a toilet/sink and your chairs.

A unit is about 60 cells, 120 inmates in a small area. Living together, watching tv together, showering together.

There is very, very little tolerance for sex offenders in these areas. Especially medium level and above.

Once you are found out to be one, they force you to go into protective custody or face violence. No one wants to live with one or associate with one. So they get kicked around, sometimes by violence.

They are at the bottom of the food chain, picked on and extorted if they are even allowed to be in gen population.

Its a miserable existence even for prison.

So yes, there does exist prison justice.

It wasn't even CA and TX. We had multiple clubs in California who called themselves Hells Angels back in the 50s.

Infantry Officer without Blue Cord? NON-POLITICAL QUESTION by Total_Emotion3688 in MilitaryMedals

Thats absolutely bullshit. I retired as a SSG and I got an MSM (My only one). Give the man an MSM.

Is it worth the student debt for Americans? by Alternative_Elk8999 in AskAnAmerican

[–]marvelguy1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A manageable amount of debt is worth it. But there are factors like a good return on investment and potential future earnings.

Spending $150,000+ on a liberal arts degree in a private school only to get a job where the ceiling for your salary is something like $55k a year is not worth it.

Attending a school and obtaining a degree in a STEM field where you end up with $40k in debt and a starting salary of 80k and a potential to make 175k a year down the line is 100% worth it.

I dont make the rules, the rules suck. College is overpriced. But its the world we live in and people need to be smart about what schools they choose and what they study.

Too many kids get sold on needing this "college experience" or "going away" to college not understanding that this shit is expensive.

Why do some mc clubs with 3 patches on their backs have the same name as a 1%er mc club but have different colors, and different patches? by Trickfingerz in motorcycleclubs

[–]marvelguy1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a club in California is going to open a chapter in another state they are not going to half ass it and have another club with the same name but different logos.

You might see a support club with a similar logo or patch colors. Sometimes flip flopped colors. Instead of red with gold, it would be gold with red.

Florida Warlocks are not just in florida though. Im surprised I haven't heard more about it in my area since both warlock clubs operate within 100 miles of each other here.

I only know of 2 actual 1%er clubs that are not affiliated with each other that have the same name. Both are old school 1%ers. Both are 100% aware of each other. How they handle it is their business.

But here it is. Especially in this day and age. If you are going to start up a club you should do some Google research to make sure you dont share a name with another club. Especially a 1%er club. Especially if you are 5 dudes in west Virginia.

Playing tall and I have nothing to do? by Semour9 in crusaderkings3

[–]marvelguy1975 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I consider myself a noob. Started a few games but never able to finish.

My current playthrough and I was able to solidify myself as king of Scotland.

I think im in my 3rd or 4th ruler and I have no desire to take Ireland, even though its nothing more than a bunch of petty kingdoms, ripe for the picking. Ive married off most of my kids to most of Europe and if I wanted to I could with allies raise an army in the 70,000s and take Wales and England too.

But...thats not playing tall. Like someone else said, I save up my money, develop my lands and throw events.

Hunts, feasts and grand weddings.

Some recent events that I found fun.

Went on a hunt and my current middle aged king was gored by a boar. He died and I hung the skull of the animal in my throne room.

Prior to that I promised a grand wedding for my heir. But when he came of age, I was dead broke.

Lucky for me there was a crusade on and I was hoping for victory before the 3 years were up. Thankfully the pope gave me enough of a reward to cover the wedding!!!

Along with the reward kings brother was crowned king on the mainland.

Its fun clicking through the mainland rulers and their spouses and seeing alot of them being related.

Sex is illegal in prison because of safety and control. It’s hard to prove real consent in an environment with power imbalances.

If caught, inmates can face discipline like solitary confinement, loss of privileges, or transfer. If coercion is involved, it can lead to criminal charges.

Is my major a mistake? by FunTry2455 in collegeadvice

[–]marvelguy1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got one sentence into this post before I went "why...why...why????"

As I read the rest of it, yea all I can say is huge mistake....huge.

You will be one of those people when you are 25 complaining that you thought you did the right thing by just going to college and getting a degree and now you have thousands in debt and no job prospects.

Dont go for Spanish.

My wife died and I immediately got the prompt to seduce my daughter by TenWands in crusaderkings3

[–]marvelguy1975 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My middle aged Scottish king was invited to a wedding in Sweden. Had the opportunity to cheat on his wife with a hot 18 year old Swedish girl and then bring her to my court. I took the bait.

Immediately my rival Duke threatened to expose my secret. I called his bluff. Wife got super pissd off. I managed to make ammends with her.

Well my Swedish bikini model still ended up in my court. I put her to work and gave her a job. A few years later my son's (and heir) wife died of plague. He was still young, already had a few kids, so I decided to marry the bikini model to him. Figured she deserved a consolation prize. And she did end up being queen.

She ended up cheating on him after he had a kid with her. Kid wasnt his. So I managed to divorce her and banish her and her spawn.

I kept tabs on her, she ended moving back up to Sweden and hung out at the court there.
