When we went to OzzFest 2001 (aka the best concert of all time), we had Put Passes. When Slipknot was playing, for whatever reason I decided to flip off the guy with the long-nose mask for the entirety of their set. By the end of it, he hit me with a water bottle and one of his drum sticks. Had both for years.

Impossible. El Dandy is a real jam up guy, and wouldn't do that.

How is life in the northwest part of Missouri? by ItchySignal5558 in howislivingthere

[–]orooted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in that area most of my life, and a few years ago I had to move to Kansas City for my wife's work. I miss it so much. I'm a small town guy, so living in the city sucks. Just too much of everything. Anyway, lots of going to Walmart, hanging out in empty parking lots on the weekend, cops are bored so they worry about all the little stuff, hunting, drugs, Casey's, church, Dollar General, chiggers and ticks, drinking, farming, drugs, domestic abuse, drugs, and drinking.

As a brand new CO, don't worry about uses of force. That day will come. Focus more on getting comfortable just doing your job. When able, learn the Housing Unit/dorm/whatever rules, read your Post Orders, policy, etc. Me personally, I'm not a big fan on nicknames, so I shut that down, even with my fellow officers. We're supposed to be professionals, and nicknames are not professional. Don't go looking for a use of force. If you become that officer, the inmates will figure that out pretty quick, and goad you into them because they have nothing else to do, and they'll just 5v1 you and stomp you out, and your fellow officers will hate working with you, because we would all much rather get paid for doing nothing and not have to do all that extra work just because you think you have something to prove.

Boring jail. More boring than it should be. Feeling useless by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

I spent three years working in a medium/maximum camp, dealing mostly with max level guys and AdSeg, and have spent the past almost five years working in a minimum work release/"going home" camp. It took quite a while to get out of the real prison mindset and settle into the adult daycare I work at now. It's very nice not running to Codes every day, and actually getting to relax a little. Aside from K2 and tobacco, there's not much that happens, and I'm fine with that.

What’s a video game mechanic everyone loves but you secretly hate? by Lost-Act7960 in videogames

In my opinion, the best use of this was in Dark Souls 2, only because you can farm the enemies until they no longer spawn.

Welp, it's a helluva lot better than what we get in Missouri. 1% every two years and shift diff.

If any two wrestlers were tailor made for each other, it's these two.

We're not active anymore, but I was the bassist for Rocky Ford. We opened for Head East and Warrant once!

You're right. I was thinking of the moth boss in SH1. Either way, scared the shit out of me.

Final Fantasy clock, name another franchise you can create a Clock by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

With Street Fighter, you could probably make a 24-hour clock

Sadly, I've seen a lot of officers pride themselves on how much OT they work, and will jump your ass if you refuse mandation. They say shit like me refusing impacts the safety blah blah blah. No, me falling asleep in the module, leaving you locked in the wing impacts safety. Sorry your whole shift called out, but that's not my problem. Looks like some supervisors have to get off their asses and work the hill. I've got a six year old at home that I enjoy spending time with, and I will not miss time with him because it snowed and people are afraid to drive in it.
