I came here for the memes, stayed for political discourse. It’s our responsibility to create the world where we want to live, and the fight may never end. Diversify your life. Fight fascism in any form. Never stop learning. [Also if you stalk my page you’ll find that I also like beautiful women. Sue me]
I hear you. Don't worry for me, though, I'm a lowly E5 who may be contracted through this whole presidential term and almost halfway into the next one, but my whole family knows where I'm drawing the line in reference to where desertion would be on the table. I've taken steps to prepare. It's an unfortunate position to even have to consider, but given how things have gone so far sideways since I reupped, it was a conversation we've had.
Valid, those are both vile acts that I abhor and condemn, as would any decent human. Unfortunately, though I am in the military, I have no say in how operations are conducted especially not baby carrot's "special military operations" that only "Top men" are privy to. When I say "crushing it" (poor choice of words, I admit) I was referring to the jobs done on my level: determining how to pack a 10cu ft metal container with supporting equipment and getting it on a c17 bound for wherever.
A canned cocktail. High abv, high mobility, good taste
It's the command structure of the military by design; a decentralized command allows for individual units to act and make decisions, react to situations, and take initiative in the absence of orders. The military is supposed to be independent of politics, so on the ground situations are not jeopardized by an officeholder larping Frank Underwood weighing what action would best benefit his career. 47, and SecFloor by extension, don't like that. They're trying their damnedest to change it.
That's just the shit, ain't it? Honestly, I haven't a lot of pull. For being such great problem solvers on the ground, there's still not a lot of big-picture thinking going on on the lines. Any commander would lose half the formation just for being critical of the administration, let alone talking mutiny. Remember a couple months ago when all of MAGA wanted to hang Senators just for saying it's a Soldier's duty to disobey illegal orders (absolutely correct)? Yeah the reality is complicated.
I'm too young.

4yo me: "...Mom, this isn't Rescue Rangers!"
Back Blast Area Clear!
Speaking from a hurry-up-and-wait situation on the line right now, this is pretty accurate. The administration is doing it's damnedest to shoot us in the foot, with bullshit contradictory orders and a will we/won't we vibe regarding the whole of it, and all the firings and shit. Not to mention our supply economy is just a cesspool of logistical un-readiness. Despite all this, Soldiers and Unit-level command is crushing it. Truth is we're all just doing the best we can with the capability we have
Now with hydraulic press sfx
Room for one more on this scramble? I smuggled some buzzballs
In all honesty, I think the people are angry enough, but we're all just cowards. Everyone's got something to lose, something we're dependent on maybe, even if it's just their QOL, and we don't want to risk it if we don't know everyone else will join. We see isolated events, "radical" individuals fighting back. They have our support behind the safety of our screens, but we wish we could do what they have. We're just afraid. If we don't conquer our fear, nothing will change.
Abbott Elementary is also arguably the same formula, but with stellar cast and writing. The trope itself may be used, but we see time and time again how well the right team can pull it off
Wouldn't this be the near side of the moon during a solar eclipse? The far side would be illuminated during
I'm sick of the name & shame game. What are we gonna do to make these bigots afraid to say shit like this out in the open?
Back in 2017 my unit was deployed to Afghanistan. Just starting baby carrot's first term, with Mattis at the SECDEF helm. As an ROE and escalation of force was drillled into everyone's head from PFC to MAJ. It was followed and enforced (almost to a fault since there are always gray areas in every situation that the letter of the law often doesn't accout for but I digress) and everyone knew the consequences for violating it. 9 years later, here we are.
"I SWEAR I'm bothering them, I HAVE TO BE BOTHERING THEM or they wouldn't say they're unbothered. I'm living rent free in their head and It's IMPORTANT TO ME THAT EVERYONE KNOWS how much I bother them." -- This guy
Our anchor being was Robin Williams, change my mind.
You know, you could also just go Walkin Back to Georgia, especially if you have nothing in your pockets and all you own is upon your back.
I'd argue it's his suicide that put us on this shitty timeline.
So they're pretty much admitting Dems are better warfighters because of their capacity for critical thinking and their intestinal fortitude? Either way I'm sure having a leftist working class suddenly full of fresh combat veterans is not in this regime's best interest
I find it to be an overall victory that we've pretty well taken back the holiday to celebrate drinking beer, smoking weed and practicing hedonism.
At least Zapp was smart enough to recognize and exploit the Killbots' kill limit
#39 Perhaps just a pet peeve but why use the Inception score when referencing the Matrix? They are not the same!
Unfortunately, this makes them look cooler.
The whole thing between Sarge and Fillmore in the first movie implies those wars did happen, as did Vietnam. "Will you turn that disrespectful junk off?!" "Respect the classics man, it's Hendrix!" Not to mention Nascar itself arose from bootlegger street racing in the 1920s, which in turn implies prohibition existed. Here's the real question to bake our noodles: Before all the model T's like Stanley and Lizzie, were there sentient horse-drawn carriages? Sentient ships? Chariots?
It is. It's one thing to prefer natural hair, another thing entirely to accuse those who disagree as being perverts.
They didn't really bleep out "murdered". It was more like "Murrr*bleeep*dered". I get the point you're making though.
7Brew. It's a newer coffee chain, mostly on the east coast from what I've been seeing.
Along with the other comments, one can tell it's fake because the dog is approaching rather timidly for knowing who their owner was. In a real scenario, that dog would be running and pulling from the moment the owner was in sensory range, which is a lot further than 3 feet barring handicaps
Not me seeing the title and being like "what's this gotta do with the tech market?" And buffering for like 10 seconds before going like "ooohhhhhh"
