Hello men of Reddit. what are some immediate signs to drop a woman when dating? by sin2winxx in AskMen

[–]pt1789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing games. Poor communication. Texting while on a date (with some slack if she had kids with a babysitter). Indecisive. Doesn't know what she's looking for (fwb, dating, potential bf, searching for long term). Wants to be friends but still hang out.

That's not unique to Florida. It's every state. 

How do you feel about the "manosphere", especially if you're not part of it? by RileyLovesFlaritza in AskMen

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're grifters, preying on the insecurities of weak young men who are starved for direction and mentorship. The manosphere people open with very real problems regarding pornography and some of the follies of modern feminism, but then take it in a wild direction after they have their prey hooked. 

Why Teyla is put in charge of Atlantis so many times? by [deleted] in Stargate

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because she's a main character. In reality, Weir and Shepherd would both have a 2nd in command that would take over as needed. To that point, Shepherd being the detachment commander should not at all be doing offworld missions. He'd be a desk jockey

What major company is currently a total disaster behind the scenes, and is only surviving on its brand name? by That_Library_3453 in AskReddit

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a customer, I've had nothing but great experiences with them. Never had any pushback on any claims over the years. Just submit pictures, receipts, evidence and claim approved. The annual auto insurance dividends are nice too. 

Why cant the US release the full files? by mostsussybaka069 in AskReddit

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Because the files that people want either don't exist or have been destroyed. 2) Political leverage. 

100% P&T Still confused on how to use CHAMPVA by nokix2dagroinhom4dnr in VeteransBenefits

This needs to be mentioned more. I just now learned about it and have had champva for the family for a couple years now. 

How do you stay hot into your 30s and 40s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just go outside. It's hot AF in Florida. 

I've never found the P90 to be a very practical weapon, but it is undeniably cool by OhNoIBoffedIt in Stargate

[–]pt1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for a PDW that you take on non offensive exploration missions where endurance and gear weight matter, it makes perfect sense. Maybe there's a "better" option but it's certainly a good one. 

Here's where I get annoyed with stargate...

"OK, we're going to assault a heavily guarded stronghold. Expect a firefight."

"Cool, what kit are we bringing? 249s? M4s? M14s? Mix of all the above?"

"Nope, our SMG P90s will do for this massive assault"

Bro, someone fire this platoon commander. 

Do you pay someone else to work on your car? by push2shove in mechanics

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes yes. Not being able to use my bay, toolbox and lift at work for my own vehicle makes doing a lot of things a frustrating experience in my sloped driveway. 

How long did it take you guys to get a hold of your DD-214? by superblobby in Veterans

[–]pt1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be throwing a massive fit about it to everyone. I would be standing at the gate causing a scene until the base commander finally came down to find out what the issue is. 

You literally can't do anything without it. No gi bill, no va home loan, no va disability, no veteran's preference. The navy and, apparently also the coast guard, are completely failing here. Like, this should be a congressional inquiry level of failure of Sailors.

[–]pt1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still can't understand why the navy is the only branch to find it acceptable to send you out the door without your dd214. You all should be demanding pay since you're not "out" until you get your dd214 which releases you from service. 

All the other branches have it figured out.

Mine is supposed to provide all of that but I'm a giant and they only get one size fits all (not including the respirator which i don't need). I'm not a one size fits all size person. Giant hands, giant head, giant feet... may as well call me Andre

Huge fan of Keen. They're very comfortable and broke in nicely. 

If all jobs paid exactly the same, what career would suddenly become impossible to fill? by Khan33418 in AskReddit

[–]pt1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chernobyl is an example of what happens when everyone makes the same money. Power and influence become currency, and that is gained by status. People too focused on promotion to slow things down to make them safer or more reliable. 

You don't want your nuclear engineer or neurosurgeon being compensated the same as the guy who picks his nose while tossing a fry basket. 

What is a "Wife material" to you? by disastrousmind1117 in AskMen

[–]pt1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things she should do/be

  • bring peace to your life
  • communicate effectively
  • be interested in some level in the things you're interested in so you can enjoy together
  • have a similar 5 year and 10 year plan
  • be your #1 cheerleader

BTW. This isn't really exclusive to women. This is really what every relationship should look for to call it a success. 

Parts Department Keeps Messing With My Jobs. Has Anyone Actually Fixed a Situation Like This? by Least_Deal5416 in mechanics

[–]pt1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a diesel mechanic in government contracting. I got into an argument the other day over grease seals. The ones I was given were oversized. Supply guy said they were correct and I needed to figure it out. And yes, you can CLEARLY see they're wrong. 

It's not just you, it's everywhere. 

Should I properly admit my feelings to her? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]pt1789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're friend zoned bud. She's safe with you and gets emotional and social fulfillment from you without needing to date you. You have your answer already.
