The place I'm most scared of travelling to is ______ by travelstackerin travel

[–]AKA_Squanchy 0 points1 point ago

Been to 35 countries, four continents; backpacking on low budgets. I know India has a lot to offer, but I'm afraid to go there.

I've been to Ethiopia three times for a total of 6 weeks. Never had any sort of problem there. Everything is incredibly safe, cheap and the people are very welcoming. I've spent time in Addis, north and south of the city as well. It may take an emotional toll on you, but you should be free from physical harm!

I'm curious: What's the longest you've run a version of Mac OSX without a fresh install? by thenearfuturein apple

Not even sure exactly, years and years on my PowerBook!

So I shaved my dreads today. R.I.P. 2009-2012 by mike1onein pics

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

Not sure why all the hate. Who gives a fuck if a white guy has dreads. Jesus Harold Christ. If every white man conformed to having hair like Gene Vincent it would be a boring and crummy world indeed.

Wtf America... by wellykachtel1in WTF

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

15 shots in the clip x 6 cops emptying said clips = 90 rounds. However, I believe there were more than 6 cops, so they didn't all even empty ...

I agree with both of your statements. But it was dark and he was running away from a long, dangerous pursuit ... and looked like he was pointing a gun; that's a big gigantic no-no.

[–]AKA_Squanchy 190 points191 points ago

Yeah, I watched that happen on TV ... the idiot led the police on a long, dangerous, high-speed chase, then when he got out of the car, he seemed to take a firing stance and ran as he pointed his hands at the cops as if he was holding a gun. It really did look like he was pointing a gun at the police! Fuckin' moron (not you, the dude the got himself shot). Here's the vid.

What are your tips for scoring the exit row? by ribfeastin tall

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

I generally call ahead, explain that I require extra legroom and I do the same when I get to the counter (early of course) to check in. On most international flights I have found that airlines are very accommodating to my height. Of the few times I haven't been able to get a roomy seat I have noticed that international flights do offer a little bit more room than domestic so it hasn't been too bad. On domestic flights they never give a shit about me so I end up crammed in a crappy seat anyway.

Travelling to Eastern Europe in June, location undecided - any advice? by ShetlandJamesin travel

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

I really liked Krakow, Poland and Budapest, Hungary. Krakow offered the cultural experience of visiting Auschwitz. Great, affordable place to travel. I haven't been to Budapest in almost 10 years, so prices may have changed since then.

Hey r/Travel, what are hostels really like? and whats your best/worst hostel experience? by GoodGuyGregsCousinin travel

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

Hahahaha! Too fucking true! Earplugs are a backpacker's friend, unless you're worried you'll get robbed ...

How rational is America? by SoftwareJudgein TrueReddit

Half is rational. The other half is republican.

Mmmm... candy by mopimopiin WTF

[–]AKA_Squanchy 1 point2 points ago

Knew it was somewhere in Europe! I love Germany. Plus, it's a great place to travel with kids (not because of this candy ...)!

Went for a Hike. Found a car by BR0THAKYLEin pics

[–]AKA_Squanchy 6 points7 points ago

Where I go hunting there are a lot of cars, too. A bunch from the 20s and 30s! They're half way underground and rusted to shit, but identifiable. A couple modern ones full of bullet holes (have to admit some of those shotgun blasts are mine!). Strangely, last car we found (an 90s Sentra on blocks, broken windows, no engine block) still had a fully intact tail light! Headlights blasted, other tail light smashed, but one left ... It didn't survive.

Sucks for people like me... by Klippin tall

[–]AKA_Squanchy 2 points3 points ago

I'm 6'6" and ~200lb and I think I look thin! OP needs to increase calorie and protein intake. Maybe lift some weights ... I'm not a doctor but my doctor told me it would be unhealthy for my weight to be under 180. He asked me to start lifting and increase calories and in a few months I was 200lb. I hover somewhere between 195 & 210 monthly.

Also, skate company shirts tend to be longer and are tailored a bit slimmer. Airwalk, Burnside, Zoo York, etc. The dry cleaner near me also tailors shirts that are too wide for me, might wanna check into that, too.

Turkey by chiciticoin travel

[–]AKA_Squanchy 2 points3 points ago

I have nothing to offer other than Istanbul is my favorite city in all the 35 countries I've traveled in. I'm sure Turkey has much more to offer. Greece is a close second, each island has a different personality but all are beautiful; many people dislike the mainland ... I found it spectacular. From what I remember of Bulgaria it was a slow paced storybook-looking countryside. Have fun you lucky bastard!

At what age is it inappropriate for your kids to run around in the yard and/or house in their skivvies? by AKA_Squanchyin AskReddit

[–]AKA_Squanchy[S] 0 points1 point ago

For the day?

I guess some explanation ... Daughter is 7, adopted from Ethiopia at 6 (family deceased). She spent six years practically naked in a very rural area. The clothing transition (at home) has been somewhat challenging.

I forgot about Dre. by feedthecollapsein firstworldproblems

Strangely, me too, for the first time in years!

But I never forgot.

Came here looking for Russian graphic design. Witnessed wasting of beer. Left disappointed.

Shitting Lizard by irawwwrin WTF

Picking up dog shit one day there was a turd tangled up with the wife's G-string. Happened again a week or two later. No more dirty laundry was left on the floor after that ...
