  • They are not very accurate. You're more likely to get yelled at by a NCO(non commissioned officer) than by an officer on a day to day basis. Most officers are like middle managers until you hit the O-5 to O-6 rank. Officers give out orders, NCOs carryout orders using junior enlisted personnel. Most harassment stops outside of basic/advanced training, unless someone in your unit gets in trouble and then they might do a mass punishment where everyone is cleaning the barracks on a Friday night or over the weekend. I'm white, so I can't speak much to the discrimination part, other than it didn't happen much in the jobs that I was in. I'm positive it happens, but it didn't happen out in the open when I was in. Obviously the current administration for the US government is changing that a bit. I can't speak for the person you asked the question to, but I had two combat deployments and two trips to South Korea, with a solid bit of PTSD from the deployments.

  • "epic snub" seems a little exaggerated for something that fat orange fascist was never qualified for in the first place.

  • Well, anything digital comes to mind. Cutting undersea communication cables is another. But you can generally look in the direction of Russia for most of it. In the US they have corrupted an entire political party with out drawing any "front lines"

  • The graph shows deaths. I'm sure there are quite a few more collisions that don't end in death, but possibly severe and lasting disabilities. You don't see a lot of subway cars colliding with other subway cars. I'm sure plenty of people run into buses though.

  • Hawking's theory says that the final area of the black hole has to be bigger than the sum of the two initial areas, says Chatziioannou, "and this is what we demonstrated observationally with that signal."

    This kind of proof is just what Hawking hoped for a decade ago, when the first gravitational wave detection was announced. He actually reached out to one of the scientists involved in that effort to see if gravitational waves could be used to test this prediction, says Isi.

  • I live in central Florida and I've been out protesting quite a bit, a couple political events for democratic candidates, and volunteer for poll duty during elections. One of the least represented demographic in all of these places is young women. There are plenty of retiree women. I've even been to a couple women's rights group meetings and there were more men there than women under 40.

    I understand it's going to take all of us to make any meaningful changes, but I am constantly surprised that one of the most impacted groups doesn't seem to be too concerned to participate in the civil unrest part. Even the women I talk to in other social settings don't seem too concerned or feel the need to do anything to halt the real life Handmaid's Tale we're about to find ourselves in.

  • I can't believe we ever thought that someone like sleezy Zuckerberg had anything worth saying to begin with.

    On day two of his testimony on Capitol Hill, Representative Billy Long, a Republican from Missouri, was the first to mention Facemash.com, the website Zuckerberg first created at Harvard in order to compare photos of his classmates and allow users to rate their looks.. In an awkward exchange, Long asked Zuckerberg what Facemash is and whether it is still up and running. Zuckerberg called it a "prank website" in response, and claimed that it "has nothing to do with Facebook."

    It's almost comical to me that it's serious until someone calls them on it, THEN it's just a joke. FACEmash has nothing to do with FACEbook. Fucking lizard person.

  • All US military personnel are obligated to follow all lawful orders. Until the supreme courts rule that what he does is illegal and someone enforces that, what is a military person supposed to do? Unlike most jobs you can't just quit and if you disobey a "lawful" order then you will likely be kicked out, lose your source of income and any benefits, and probably end up with a bad conduct or dishonorable discharge which is like a felony on your record.

    As a veteran myself, I am also quite ashamed of what is going on. These people are stuck and have much more at stake than the general population if they disobey or quit. I'd be about as ashamed to work at a place like Tesla or SpaceX for another Nazi, but you don't expect Tesla employees to stand up to musk and overthrow his regime.

  • It feels like a very aggressive title for this post.

  • Same process fixed the issue on Android.

  • All fixed! I also had to do what @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone did and uninstall, reinstall, clear the cache.

    Thanks for fixing the issue so quickly!

  • I am also on Android.

  • This isn't even conservatism. It's regressive. They aren't conserving anything, just trying to take everyone back to robber barons and Nazis.

  • They should post this picture at every rural hospital they close.
