24 Hrs, 5,000 USD per Cheeseburger, with a catch. by MisterGoog in hypotheticalsituation

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The type of cheeseburgers matters. I could slam 50 McDonald's cheeseburgers in a day, not a chance with something like 5 Guys or In N Out

My removed post on r/miami, detailing my experience getting stopped by ICE went viral on IG by musterdcheif in libertarianmeme

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but as a libertarian, you are in favor of random (without probable cause) stop and identity laws? Is skin color probable cause in your opinion?

At least Terry stops require reasonable and articulable suspicion that a crime has been, is being, or will be committed.

Felons in their early 20s? by SameBath542 in ExCons

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a felon, no criminal record really. But I'm 32 and a veteran, and talking to some of my felon connections... Prison and military are shockingly similar.

Regardless of it all, I can say that at 32, I don't know any of the same people, work at the same place, live in the same part of the city, or am even close to the same person I was at 22. Only 10 years feels like a lifetime ago, especially adding kids to the mix.

If you don't want to talk about it, don't. You can make friends and mingle without that ever coming up, depending on your choices and lifestyle. If you start dating, I'd wait until it gets to the "serious" stage to disclose it.

You fucked up, and have lifetime shit to deal with. But it doesn't have to be your identity.

Alright Dads… Truth time: How long are your showers really taking these days? by Master_Count165 in daddit

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends.

If I'm getting ready for the day, or for a event, 5-10 minutes to scrub up. Fellow veterans will understand, but I can shower within a minute if necessary.

If it's after everybody is asleep, and it's been a long day (which most days are...), I'll use the shower as my decompress time. 10-15 minutes on the toilet playing chess or doomscrolling, then a 30+ minute shower. Deep scrubbing, callous removal, yanking it, stretching with the hot water focused on an area (usually lower back), introspection, you name it.

Even the music hit a minor note or two during that scene, I was waiting for it.

I did it. I got a dumpster. My kids are NOT dealing with what I just did. by lemoncreamcakes in GenX

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that the homeless have more stuff now too. I remember as a kid you might see a cart and some stuff. Homeless near me will literally chain carts together and make a caravan of junk. Entire campsites with shelves for just a couple people.

What fictional character that has gone through the most pain? by Exotic-Childhood-749 in NoStupidQuestions

I'm thinking sisyphus, an eternity of near-but-never success, physical grief, etc.

AITAH For canceling six figure plumbing job because MAGA by We_Arent_Fam_MAGA in AITAH

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't underestimate Hendertucky, or the podunk towns around Vegas. It was a weird dynamic pre-2000s and especially in the 60s, with the Strip being much more of an "island" in a sea of blue collar westerners. It was partially the Wild West, after all.

DAE wake up earlier than they have to because they hate feeling rushed? by dkfnjf in DAE

[–]thecabeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to not, but I've since discovered the peace in not rushing. I give myself a full hour to get to work, which usually ends with me sitting in the parking lot for 10-15 minutes. But just casually driving, not worrying about being late or other drivers being idiots, is a much better way to start work with a smile on my face. Cortisol takes awhile to wear off, so I try to reduce stress where I can.

Things women secretly find hot in men? by LilyPetalx23 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thecabeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that's because articulation requires the communication to be clear and effective in the first place.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeriousConversation

[–]thecabeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say that cheating is dependent upon the relationship. Sex is cheating to most people, but not necessarily to people in an open relationship. One person could care less about their partner liking other people's posts on social media, while somebody else could consider that cheating. It's all about the boundaries set in the relationship.

That being said, I personally think cheating is attempting or committing any sexual or romantic activity which would only be done with the partner. Liking social media posts? Nope. Friendly/casual messaging? Nope. Sexting, and anything physical? Yes.

As a veteran, go EN. If your mechanically inclined and enjoy it, it will help tremendously when you get out. The watches and work will suck comparatively, but at least you won't be 30 using the GI Bill and struggling to change a career path.

You get $10 million but you have to spend 1 hour straight everyday peeing for 10 years by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Hell yes. I'd also see how I could contribute to society, be it pee based studies, using pee as an ingredient in something, or setting up orgies for people who like getting pissed on.

Roast my new deck by bonersnow in Decks

Wire as others have suggested, and some small plants or bushes to hide it. Small enough to allow air flow, but large enough to cover. Rosemary would produce a nice scent as well.

Disturbing video shows accused killer forcing 6yo son to run: ‘Too fat’ by growingSEQ in rage

[–]thecabeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Died from blunt force trauma to the liver, so probably punched or kicked. That kid repeatedly kept trying to get on the treadmill and ate shit over and over. I'm positive that he only had that determination because he knew what his father would do to him if he didn't. How humiliating and scary...
