@SGTWipper1Each First time I heard G.I. party in basic, I thought, "Alright alright alright!" Didn't take me long to change my opinion of the "party" though.
Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to?
Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute.
A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it.
Who was it?
@SGTWipper1Each In the military, and my career afterward, many people just call me AB, which are my initials. I used to dislike it, but as they say, it is what it is. I didn't get a "cool" military nickname like "Zapper" or "Smoke" or something. 🤣
My boy just bagged a corporate job and called me hyped.
"Ac, I'm set for life"
$140K/year. Benefits. 401k match. Corner office.
I congratulated him but I had to show him the math.
$140K salary = $8,750/month after tax
$2,800 rent
$650 car payment (Audi A4)
$280 insurance
$180 gas
$1,200 DoorDash
$400 eating out
$200 gym
$120 subscriptions
$1,500 bottle service
$900 barber (2x a week)
$500 going out
$200 random expenses
He's left with $820.
Daycare? $2,000/month.
Now he's -$1,180 every month.
$140K/year is survival, bro.
how about you setup a store
10 signs a White woman is a mudshark.
1. Greasy hair
2. Giant hoop earrings

4. Says “dat” instead of “that” and “da” instead of “the”
5. Single mother aka “baby momma”
6. Has STDs
7. Obese
8. Low IQ
9.
10.
What did I miss?
@braxton_mccoy Yep, me and my hoss, Ranger, are going to have to put in some more miles if the fuel gets too much higher. Hey, it's a lot better than walking!
BE PROUD
▪️When it comes to U.S. military service…
▪️There is no “just”
▪️You stepped forward when 98+% didn’t.
▪️Be proud…
▪️And thank you for your service.

@thenicklavery That was great to see, especially since I, too, was an Air Force heavy equipment mechanic. I've never felt like my job was "only" or "less than", but it's not a tip-of-the-spear thing. But like Nick said, we're all a part of one big ass team.
@iamyourfarmer I'll top that. I just resealed a cylinder on my g/f's Kubota tractor loader. The seal kit was $130 for a seal and two 0 rings. Geez Louise!
3 o-rings and a backing ring, $61 bucks. This is why my life goal is to decouple myself from John Deere. Taj Mahal dealerships don’t build themselves, their are paid for w/ sex workers. Though in typical sex work the person getting screwed gets to keep the money.
@Evnrr_ I'm either texting, looking at my watch or checking out hockey on TV. If you're not good enough to get me off, after a while, I'll just pull out, spit on your back and lie, "Yea, you're the greatest baby." Then go get a sandwich.
