Why the gently caress are you guys dealing with cops so often you need poo poo to hedge the bet?

eh, dealing with cops once every couple of years is worth hedging your bets if you ask me, though I don't drive nearly as fast as I used to anymore. That said living in Boston it's super nice to have an extra hedge when it comes to parking tickets for those times when you mis-judge how many coins to feed the meter.

One time they put up "no parking sidewalk repair" sign after I had already parked the car and I didn't drive for a couple days so I never noticed. Some construction dude was pounding on my door at like 7am trying to find out if I knew who owned the car because they really didn't want the cops to tow it, that alone was worth the scarlet letter if you ask me.



I should probably mention I have purple heart plates though, so they are both forever free and extra good at getting away with poo poo, YMMV.

I don't even remember this but word dude. Just care for that dogge as much or more than it will care for you and all will work out. If anyone wants real talk on service dog options, holler pm or here. I worked at a nonprofit that did this stuff so I know my poo poo.

My coworker ended up getting a PTSD dog, and he needed it took great care of it, and jumped through mega loving hoops to let the dog come to work and pt and all that. And then like a week after command blessed off on it, they nixed it. I'll never forget that. It was a total bitch move on their part, because someone down the hall was upset that they couldn't bring their goddamn pet to work too.

So get a different plate? It's not like they don't make campaign plates, served honorable plates, Natty Guard, any variety of other medal plates for medals you maybe felt like you earned? I think some states even have plates for basic poo poo like GWOT vet.

I will second this; meritorious BSM plate are a huge loving joke. It's harder to actually get into the military than it is to get a meritorious BSM when you deploy at a certain rank.

Even worse, clueless civilians will gasp and awe at a meritorious BSM and no matter how hard you to try to explain why it's a worthless award, they will think you're a war hero.

anything below silver star is garbage

edit: might have to rethink silver star after reading how it applies to pilots:

quote:

The Department of Defense does not keep extensive records of awards of the Silver Star. Independent groups estimate that between 100,000 and 150,000 Silver Stars have been awarded since the decoration was established.[9] Colonel David Hackworth is likely to be the person who has been awarded the most Silver Stars. He was awarded ten Silver Stars for service in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.[10]

some stupid loving website posted posted:


One of the more darkly humorous episodes of warfare occurred on 29 January 1945, in Holzheim, Belgium. Funk and his paratroopers were assaulting the town, and he left a rearguard of 4 men, while he scouted ahead to link up with other units, Those 4 men had to guard about 80 German prisoners. Another German patrol of 10 happened by and overwhelmed the 4 Americans, freeing the prisoners and arming them. When Funk returned around the corner of a building, he was met by a German officer with an MP-40 in his stomach. The German shouted something at him, and Funk looked around.There were now about 90 Germans, about half of them armed, and 5 Americans, disarmed except for Funk.

The German shouted the same thing at him again, and Funk started laughing. He claimed later that he tried to stop laughing, but the fact that the German was shouting in German touched a nerve. Funk didn’t speak German. Neither did any of the other Americans. Why would the German officer expect him to understand?His laughter and non-compliance caused some of the Germans to start laughing. Funk shrugged at them and started laughing so hard he had to bend over. He called to his men, “I don’t understand what he’s saying!” All the while, the German officer was shouting more and more angrily.

Then, quick as lightning, Funk swung his Thompson submachine gun up and emptied the entire clip into the German, 30 rounds of .45 ACP. Before the other Germans could react, he had yanked the clip out and slammed another in and opened fire on all of them, screaming to his men to pick up weapons. They did so, and proceeded to gun down 20 men. The rest dropped their weapons and put their hands up.

Then Funk started laughing again and said to his men, “That was the stupidest loving thing I’ve ever seen!”

You can get an "honorably discharged" plate in Tennessee. It's pretty much peak minimum effort or care while still attempting to draw sympathy during ticket writing time.

Of course, this is a state that still offers "sons of confederate veterans" plates, so take that as you will.

Stacking the deck. I drive fine. No tickets for years.

I have a tendency to roll stop signs because gently caress shifting down to first if no one is coming. Probably been five years since the last time I got a ticket, but I've been pulled over probably half a dozen times for it over the years.

And who the gently caress knows how many random stems, seeds, and little chunks of resin are floating around in my car. Probably a hitter or two. Not that I don't clean it occasionally, but I'm lazy and definitely miss poo poo. So yeah, stacking the deck.
