Hahaha
What was the story there? Is this a small casino or one of the big boys
Mongoosemancer21 karma
Guy was really old and his foot "slipped" lol. It's a smaller casino in the midwest. I came from Atlantic City though, i used to work at two of the very big casino-resorts so i have experience with the giant ones.

Do you think i can use a sourdough straight from the freezer, or do I have to de-frost it first??
kyleisthestig65 karma
What is your 5 year plan? I'm a similar age and I find that this time is a weird time of figuring out what you REALLY wanna do or be.

Because waking up and going to a job where you can actually make a difference in the community just seems really rewarding. My personality in my opinion is suited for it as well.
Topherkief21 karma
Please try to do everything in your power to actually engage with and help your community, and to reverse the militarization and oppression of law enforcement in this country. We desperately need police officers who are aware of deep seated issues such as structural and institutional racism, as well as oppression of minorities and impoverished peoples.
Thank you for your commitment to serving your community, I wish you all the best (:

You are comfortable with the stigma surrounding police at the moment? I think it is a respectable career path and wish you luck on your endeavor just wondering how you feel about the public opinion at the moment.
Mongoosemancer18 karma
It upsets me and i think it's unfair, but i can also see why some people have issues with the police. I honestly believe hiring practices should be more stringent, and i say that as someone who is about to go through the hiring process myself. I think we will see less issues with police if we get some more thoughtful and intelligent officers in the field. Sadly, i know a few people who i graduated high school with that became cops in my hometown and they were junkie losers in highschool, so the fact that they get to run around with a gun and feed their egos now is terrifying. But it's actually one of the reasons i want to be a cop, to be an example to the community. I hope that i do a good job and that when people start talking crap about cops someone speaks up and says "But that Mongoosemancer! Cops should be like him." That's my goal anyway, I'm not perfect but i really think i have my mind set in the right place to do this. Wish me luck!
clewis443 karma
Good luck man! It seems like you've got a level head on your shoulder solely basing it off your comment here. I hope all things go well with becoming an officer, and you have a moderately safe career. Merry Christmas!
Mongoosemancer3 karma
I don't know why i started laughing when you said "moderately safe" like maybe just get shot in the arm or something. Lmao nah jk, i knew exactly what you meant and i appreciate it a lot. Merry Christmas to you.
dot-pixis3 karma
Good.
Be the change you want to see.
Don't get caught up in the shit. It takes a tough person to go into a system and try to improve it. We need you. Never give up. ♡♡♡

My mom is a lieutenant in my state’s capitol city, I’m rooting for you!
Mongoosemancer75 karma
Hell yeah my sense of smell already sucks anyway, i have an exceptionally hairy nose and bad allergies.
Danhaiku35 karma
would you rather have a hand instead of a penis, or penises instead of fingers?
Mongoosemancer32 karma
No, I'm quite fond of my girlfriend i just spent christmas eve with her family. I have a roommate that's single though ;) haha.
umbrabates13 karma
Casinos make the vast majority of their money from sick people with gambling addictions. Do you feel any moral dilemma over working in the industry?
Mongoosemancer30 karma
Not personally no, although i have seen my fair share of people with a very sad and very real problem.
TheOtherCrow11 karma
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or one horse sized duck?
Mongoosemancer29 karma
I feel like a horse sized duck would just fuck your day up. So I'll try the duck sized horses and hope they don't overwhelm me.
Mongoosemancer14 karma
Hmmm i don't eat many Sundaes but maybe vanilla icecream with whipped cream and chocolate chips and maybe reeses pieces and a cherry? That sounds yummy to me.
crashdout10 karma
How many people are in the casino on Christmas Day?
I wouldn’t have thought it would be the best way to spend the day, but then again, what do I know?
Mongoosemancer17 karma
It's been deader than hell. Clearly, as I'm able to do this AMA. I have some coworkers with me and we are taking turns scanning the floor and the parking lots, but man we got nothing going on today. It actually picks up quite a bit after christmas dinner, but i work morning shift so aint my problem!
Mongoosemancer23 karma
I'll say there's a 50% chance that it would work out for you. You're welcome.
Mongoosemancer15 karma
My mom, dad, brother, and sister are all in New Jersey and i miss them and wish i were there today.
Nrf26 karma
Can’t think of anything to ask. Sorry you gotta work today man. Hope your shift goes by fast. Oh I have a question, do you think the weather will ever be normal again? I’m not an alarmist or think the end of the world is around the corner or anything, but it has been a pretty strange Winter up North so far. Of course the wildfires out West were awful this year as well as a severe hurricane season in the South. I just read a science report that said a huge percentage of ocean plankton died off... jeez now I’m freaking Myself out!Anyway, the climate looks pretty crazy, what are your thoughts?
Mongoosemancer18 karma
I really just don't think the planet or the universe cares about us. It's awesome that we are here, but we could just as easily not be here and the planet wouldn't mind. So this human arrogance that causes us to take all this for granted will probably lead to us not winning this war against climate change and things are going to get much worse in the future. I know that's pessimistic, sorry.
Mongoosemancer6 karma
No not really. I can pay my bills on time and i have a newer car, but I'm always relying on that next paycheck.
korkidog2 karma
Sorry you have to work Christmas Day. The casino can’t close for one damned holiday? That sucks!
Mongoosemancer5 karma
Yeah, barring a fire or a catastrophe we never close haha. Thanks though :)
Joenathanishere1 karma
When you wipe, do you... fold or crumple? lift your cheeks off the seat of keep them firmly planted? wipe front to back or back to front?
Mongoosemancer13 karma
Rip, crumple, stand slightly off the seat, wipe front to back, stand fully up, turn around, 3 point shot into the toilet, game forced into overtime and the crowd goes wild.
Opallll1 karma
If you had to spend your money at the casino, which games would you play and why? Best odds and personal favorites?
Mongoosemancer1 karma
Your best odds are Blackjack and Poker, given you know how to play. My personal favorite is Three card poker and Let it Ride.
Mongoosemancer1 karma
Beer, video games, stuff for my dog, i dunno. My parents sent me some steaks so that was nice.
EliteDynasty167 karma
What kind of work do you do?
