Upvoting for hope. 👍

Rebellions are built on hope.

Banning the griefer’s Minecraft account would save countless lives.

Our ancestors didn’t defy kings, battle their own wayward countrymen, charge trenches, and rush fortified beaches headlong into the jaws of death. . .

. . .for. This. Whatever the disgraceful hell this is.

About now, every real patriot for what’s good about this country should feel a profound and gnawing agony at every passing day these monsters aren’t held to account and rendered incapable of further harm to humanity, whatever form that would take.

We need to make it loud and clear that if “the other team” in places of power doesn’t use every single tool at their disposal to end this threat IMMEDIATELY, they are complicit fools and will be held accountable as accomplices to whatever untold horrors would await us, should we refuse to hold the line.

Oh definitely! If there’s one thing I’m done with, it’s people calling on speakerphone while their phone is like, seemingly, in their gym bag in the trunk LOL.

Like bro, you’re not Jack Bauer and I’m not your handler, it can wait until you’re done going 75 on the freeway.

Maybe my work’s phone network service is just awful, even landline to landline, but yeah, for how much faster data connections have gotten, I feel like I got clearer voice quality on my cordless Vtech in 2004 LOL.

Maybe it’s me and I should get my hearing checked. 😅

HOW WAS I THINKING THIS EXACT SAME THING.

The standardized NATO phonetic alphabet

…for when you need to read alpha numeric codes or clarify spellings.

Especially with, how, inexplicably, phone connections seem to have gotten more garbly in recent years.

This code was invented to be reasonably understood as much as possible in less-than-ideal communication conditions.

As time goes on, civilian life is full of situations where you’ll need to read off serial numbers, codes, or even spelling your own name, to somebody seemingly connected to you from a million miles away via coconuts and twine.

So, learn it, and you never need to go “M as in…uh…‘Mancy’?” ever again! Your IT department might thank you.

…and let’s be honest, it sounds kinda cool. :)

Holy crap! Is that where the term comes from or is this just a really good pun?

Aww there there buddy, have a nice cup of covfefe?

Oof, that sounds terrible I’m sorry to hear that, and it’s good to know. I really hate the trend of lazy reliance on Discord as the sole means of communication. :(

Same vibe as when some community solely operates out of a Facebook group. Yuck.

Time to start your very own chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association? :D

The fact that the people involved went to the JAG for legal cover clearly demonstrates that they know that what they are doing is following illegal orders.

Despicable. Did they really go to JAG to ask “I’m covered if I do this right?”?

Rather than “There’s no way in hell this is legal and you’ll cover me if I refuse, right?”?

Evil at worst. Shamefully spineless and devoid of honor at best.

“Just following orders” is not a valid defense in carrying out increasingly heinous crimes against humanity.

So if anything, she deserves a bug bounty!

I obviously can’t say with any degree of certainty, but I wonder if where you’re at, it’s more common to hold personal faith without necessarily belonging to an organization.

As a Christian Anarchist in the USA, this is where I’m at. I struggle to find a church that is just about Jesus, community, study, and worship, without the “evangelical” right-wing sociopolitical under/overtones the US has been infected with. (Or more rarely the opposite reaction: A hyper-left political organization that happens to be church flavored.)

But my faith is still very important to me.

That’s something I’ve noticed too. There’s not really any information about what parts of something to avoid or what the risk is or how you’d come into contact with it, but I remember seeing it everywhere when I lived there too, and I was like

“Everything in California including California is known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.”

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be there at all, but at least wish it was a bit more like Material Safety Data Sheets that gives a bit more understanding to what you’re getting into by interacting with various things.

Absolutely bonkers, given a commandment against idolatry and Jesus’ own words that oaths are foolish and come from a bad place.

Like, imagine reading the source material.

“Hahaha yeah your state SUCKS, man!”

With any luck of history rhyming, the Allies should have the bunker surrounded before he gets the chance.

I just got it on GoG on sale. Can’t wait to try and tackle it after like…20 years or more? Surely, my brain should be able to grasp some of its logic now! :D

My mom will be so proud. I grew up playing it with her and we had to resort to walkthroughs a lot. XD

That’s really cool to see this here. That’s one I haven’t played yet but keep thinking about because watching the wild first person parkour leaping just felt like some of the best dreams I’ve ever had.

How fitting, you fight like a cow!

(Swords clang)

Every enemy I’ve met, I’ve annihilated!
