You should research the fallout from US & CIA interventions. It’s not always an improvement for the local population.

The whole comment is make believe. I don’t see an asterisk denoting edits. OP fell for it.

Or cheese and other dairy.

No it does not, often making a mess on her and seeing her swallow it (or him if that’s your thing) is part of the fun. I’ll shoot messy blanks on and in her all day.

Because unions stopped shooting back and bombing. Because when cops and Pinkertons shoot strikers the state turns a blind eye.

This is false. You cannot be fired without reason, you can be fired for any legal reason which will vary from state to state, which may be more strict (for employers) than federal law.

Yep. While negotiating our last CBA I brought this up as an option. The union told me we’re not even allowed to voluntarily wave our lunch break.

But I like Waterworld.

Or, it’s about Oppenheimer. We all know what the bombs did to Japan. It’s well known history. Not every detail of a world needs to be explored and explained again when we already know it. I don’t think most World War II war movies detail the end of the war. Most movies don’t detail singular deaths with accuracy.

Later seasons of Clone Wars is quite good, same with Rebels. They fleshed out and/or introduced some of the best characters in the universe - with some of the best story arcs.
The Andor trilogy (including Rogue One) is phenomenal. Even if you don’t like Star Wars.
The Madalorian starts out strong but degrades over time.
The Bad Batch also not bad.

But most of it has absolutely been quantity over quality. I mean, Episode 8 was so bad I still haven’t seen Episode 9; haven’t even bothered to pirate it.

There’s some verses in the Bible that tell you to be wary of those that come dressed clean and godly, that pray in public, and make a spectacle of their worship.
I forget exactly the words but it is basically that yeah, they’re filthy and ungodly inside.

I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they’re cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn’t have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We’d have people bucking rivets and I’d walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.

My site manager didn’t like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn’t wear them. I said, “Motherfucker, they’re finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No.”
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.

The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I’ve noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

Or just start throwing crayons at the Marines, I’ll bet the dress blues in my closet they’ll laugh at that.

Reminds me of a story. Not as annoying as the DMV but there was a BBQ place in Texas, an old place in some old dying town. The place is open only 3 or 4 days a week until the meats are gone. When open the line goes out the door and down the sidewalk. I went once and the local high school kids would get in line. As they got closer to the front they’d start selling off spots, auctioning their place in line. The kids got paid then went and got in line again. Repeat.

Eh … if played out like the above comment suggests, with China giving us a little token tariff on US imports to twist the knife, we on the ground won’t be affected. Fuck, we’ll be vastly better off than under the Trump tariffs plans. We all win, he loses.

A turn out of 83%?! Impressive.

Hopefully they all remember their oaths of enlistment are to the Constitution first, THEN the president.

There grey areas in parallel chains but all chains end in Washington at the capital.

No, second in command is the Secretary of Defense. But if the Vice President is acting on behalf or under direction of the president it could be seen as a billet. Walking around bases every unit has pictures of their chains of command, all of them include the VP and have for a long time.
