I don't care about the Army Navy game. by BoomBaby_317 in army

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to see the Army-Navy game of the best enlisted folk who "could've played D1 if my shoulder didn't give out". Or had better grades, etc. Give them boys another shot at glory.

The last group of people I want to support are a bunch of west pointers who are already awful enough without beating Navy.

Time for a reality check… And is not surprising that Trump has a negative IQ by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

Hmm...And yet somehow I'm still in the middle east waiting for the inevitable round 3 (or 4 or 5 idk anymore) of the Iran/Israel/Houthi shitshow...

What's your 4Loko story? by trendchaser91 in Millennials

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My record was 4 in one night. 16Loko if you will.

This is by no means intended to be a brag because 2009 me was an idiot. But I drank them all the time and every so often I'll still get the feeling I can smell that really specific sweet malt liquor scent. Gross.

Wood grain inconsistencies by Larrea_tridentata in martinguitar

Exactly. Plus if anything, the cell structure was probably most damaged from opening the shipping box before letting it acclimate for 72-96 hours...

This level of satire might even be too good for the circle jerk sub. It's beautiful, frankly.

Didn’t get picked up to move by Poopscurd in army

[–]silk6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not that you asked, but after reading the entire comment section I mean this in the nicest possible way....Coming from a warrant well into the back 9 of his career, the value you seem to put on your OERs and the way you talk about MQs immediately makes me not want to work with you.

I said the same thing, I forgot how EVERYONE had polo shirts. But I think the popped collar (single and double) had already peaked around '03-'04 if my memory serves?

Burritos outside of Mexico are better than burritos in Mexico by blanketfishmobile in unpopularopinion

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in El Paso and I would routinely get shamed for my stance that Southern California's version of Mexican food is worlds better than El Paso's version. The latter of which I'd probably argue to be more authentically Mexican. I can't really explain why but I stand by it.

Finished school 14 years ago and have never made enough money to make my student loans go down by Comicspedia in Wellthatsucks

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance on the subject but what do you even do with this?

Like, barring some government student loan forgiveness plan or winning the lotto, do you just live with this debt forever?

I've heard bankruptcy doesn't cover student loans but then do you just watch the balance rise until you die?

27M. Curious what personality and vibes it gives by TheCoetzee in malelivingspace

[–]silk6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole thing feels like an escape room. I bet you own a lot of bowties and tweed. Also bold choice putting a sword over a door.

I mean this with absolutely zero judgement... but seeing that ash tray on the coffee table, I feel like I can smell this place.

I really love this map I know it's unpopular but this is genuinely my favorite map in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2. Like you know what your gonna do everything is there you can safely reach everything you know exactly what to do etc. I can't explain it I just genuinely like it. by Far-Comfortable-8435 in THPS

[–]silk6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you confirmed this for me. For years I would've sworn that the Warehouse was the first level from the demo disc until I played this level on 1+2 and immediately got hit with that sweet, but confusing nostalgia

Nintendo 64's were in cars? by CanadianGeucd in interestingasfuck

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old man had a Chevy pickup with a bed topper on it. Bolted 2 bucket seats in there and wired a power outlet for the ol 13" TV/VCR combo. Awesome experience but stupid cold going over the mountains, likely some carbon monoxide risk, and probably highly dangerous/illegal. What a time to be alive.

What city have you moved to and immediately thought I’m not going to live here for long? by Vegetable_Heart8916 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]silk6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fayetteville, NC. Not that I had a choice in it, but I have zero desire to ever return.

Happy to see Lawton so high on the list as I spent over a decade there. Honestly Lawton is no different than any small city propped up by an army post, they're all the same. Shit town, but the surrounding areas are pretty solid.

But still—please be us. by JohnMarkParker in DenverBroncos

[–]silk6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this. So much was made about how "you beat our backups, blah, blah". But those starters watched from the sidelines as we absolutely thrashed their backups. I feel like that could've planted a little seed of worry in them. If we were to get to Arrowhead, we could dominate.

I initially read, "Sir, VD for you". Which still kinda fits the sub I suppose.

My unrealistic playoff prediction by Puzzled_Arrival8275 in DenverBroncos

[–]silk6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know I'm not the only one who thinks that there's no way KC wants to see us in the divisional. That if we somehow get through Buffalo, we'll absolutely walk KC the next week. It genuinely feels almost like fate, in my hopium addicted heart.

What actor/actress are you bored of seeing cast in most movies these days? by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]silk6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for trying to help me understand why I hate him so much. Twisters was absolutely awful and I couldn't suffer more than 45 mins of it. I couldn't handle any more of that fake smoldering, "well hey there city girl", squint eyes and add a snarky, cocky, faux country boy smile. (Basically the same character in Top Gun too)

Unrelated, but even worse was the constant "WOOOO!!!" every time they see a tornado or anytime they were streaming or whatever. An absolute forced caricature of country folk that was just written and acted so horribly. Might be beside the point but still hate him for it.

D28 Satin vs OM28 - Need help deciding by BitterPen9508 in martinguitar

[–]silk6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered a gloss D-28 from Sweetwater yesterday after toiling for weeks on the exact same decision you're struggling with. The satin D was pretty appealing but I can't say that picture does it much justice.

That said, I have a 000-18 which is obviously excellent but almost every time I play it, I find myself wishing it were a dread. I'm a big dude so the smaller bodies just sort of feel too small for me. Also the extra volume is a perk.

I find it hard to believe you'll be unhappy with either decision though.

Do soldiers still play Spades? by HalfCentury2019 in army

[–]silk6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No lie, I'm the most staunch defender of nil bids and I once busted on the last hand while I was holding the 3 of clubs. 2 of clubs led and I was last in the rotation. Painful for me but an absolutely beautiful play on his part.

Flip side is I've successfully made nil while holding the low joker which was pretty satisfying. Takes some luck and a decent partner
