I don't think it is. I looked it up and couldn't find anything further in the thread from them. Their account has been deactivated, so (I think) the original is gone and we just have reblogs. Wayback Machine doesn't have it either.
I mean, not literally always... but ... there are so many car dealerships right outside of so many bases... gotta spend that signing bonus on something, apparently, and that something is almost always a Hellcat.
I’m in Hawai’i and I basically assume all Hellcats and Corvettes are military. So when they cut me off in traffic or whatever, instead of getting angry I just say a little “easy there recruit” or “settle down Private” to myself. It makes me chuckle and keeps me from sin.
More interestingly, it's also pretty common for girls who wanna leave their man to push him into service so she doesn't have to deal with him after. In boot we had a wall of dear John's 2 weeks in
On one level, I genuinely empathize with guys going through that... probably totally emotionally and mentally devastating for the vast majority of them.
On the other hand... its so common, and usually so many people in their lives will tell them that.... that is probably gonna happen to them, and they don't listen.
Shit sucks man, I've never been in any military service, but I've known guys its happened to.
Oh and then you've got this: Hrm, could this phenomenon maybe play a role in female service members getting SA'd and raped?
I hope this guy or someone like him visits all those National Guard's wives.
This deployment will involve orders that should not be followed. We need the constitution amended so the national guard cannot be deployed into a state without that states governors permission.
Well, that is a double edge sword right there. Maybe we end up with a sane federal government again for once, and let's say some freeloading red state decides to go full 1921 Tulsa on whatever the scapegoat of the week is and the national guard really does need to go in, but their nazi governor just says no and that's that? There simply needs to be some workaround.
I feel strongly one of the more probable solutions to the fermi paradox is simply that we have a sizeable number of people in our species who still take pride and joy in the idea of taking lives, under any context.
No, we're not allowed out there. No, we can't have good things.
IDK, earth nature is pretty gruesome (and it's not just mammals or even just vertebraes). Doesn't seem super probable that such a big precentage of space-faring alien species are so peaceful that they'd think that this is too far.
It's all fun and games until he bangs the wife of someone who graduated top class of Navy Seals and has been involved in numerous secret raids against Al-Qaeda, with over 300 confirmed kills, is trained in gorilla warfare and is the best sniper of the army
It’s some classic oldschool trolling. The best kind of troll is one where literally everyone reading the post can see that the troll is trolling, except for the person being trolled who thinks they’re in a debate that they have a chance of somehow winning
On one hand, the US military is terrible and anything that causes people to not go to it is good.
On the other hand, most people who join the military join out of desperation due to poverty and wanting better opportunities, so I kinda empathize with them without approving of their actions. Not to mention, the military tries its best to recruit fresh 18 year olds. Why are we judging TEENAGERS for their bad choices? The brain doesn't develop fully until 25. They're essentially victims of grooming that turn into killers. It's no different to me than joining a gang, and I don't think this guy would have the balls to trash talk an actual gang member like this.
Basically, I would say to this guy "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
With sync for lemmy, I got to go into the post first and click the image there to get the resolution. As if clicking the image directly just opens a preview.
Its like that for me on Thunder as well... I think there may be some kind of setting irt to ... how it caches/renders thumbnails from posts, but yeah, all these giant, extremely vertical image caps, usually from tumblr, just are not handled well on mobile apps.
The images are stupid huge in size, so most apps attempt to scale the preview resolution... and then that looks like ass because they are very very vertical, instead of something closer to 16:9.
It'll go to the real image when you click on it, but then zooming and scrolling through it is also a bit fucky wucky, because the dimensions are so out of wack.
