Hell, your comment should be a TIL all by itself. Maybe people will stop bitching about their posts getting a single downvote when they can see it’s just a few trolls.

No I used, sir or mister or LT. Like I was supposed to.

Uh, what? When i was in we called each other by our first names if we were friends or last names if we were acquaintances. Hardly anyone used ranks unless you were being yelled at or had to report. I was in a combat arms unit so maybe its different for other types of units but i doubt it.

The YMCA has showers. Just saying.

Lack of inner monologue doesn’t mean lack of thoughts. People without an inner monologue just don’t think in words. They can still think up concepts and ideas like everyone else.

You should watch The Good Place. It comes up there once and I’ve thought about it randomly ever since.

If you don’t retain your knowledge are you even you?

Philosophy of self is weird.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Seagulls, Landgulls, Firegulls, and Airgulls. But that all changed when the Firegulls attacked.

Unless you’re Indiana Jones or a ghoul kid in the Commonwealth.

The commenter he responded to is a doctor though…

If you get a user agent switcher and change your user agent for youtube to chrome then that slowing down goes away.

This type of program has existed for forever in the military. Some other careers that skip basic and get promoted to high ranks on joining are specialized doctors and lawyers. The military needs those types of specialists and they have to compete with the civilian compensation packages to attract people. Colonel pay is really high. Private First class, not so much.

Then he needs to charge more if he can’t afford to pay his employees more.

I was going to say one of them should have been 50 times removed but Randall got me in the alt text:

Grandma says that because of differences in primate and feline lifespans, the cat is actually my 17,000,000th cousin 14,000,000 times removed.

You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.

if we are working for corporations and government, they will protect and defend the right to our safety to the utmost degree

No they won’t. The whole reason OSHA exists is because companies would routinely put workers in dangerous situations and then fire them if they refused. OSHA is an organization that exists because of all those lessons learned in blood that you hear about.

Mountain biking body armor works pretty good at stopping blunt force impacts. A helmet can keep your noggin intact from sudden falls caused by fascists or impacts of thrown objects. Both can be bought for fairly cheap at any sporting goods store. Also fire proof gloves so you can pick up the tear gas canisters they throw and toss them back (do not pick up the canisters if you aren’t wearing fireproof gloves. You will lose flesh.).

Same with roger wilco. Roger means i understand the message. Wilco means i understand the message and will comply.
