  I love my Jeep, but I couldn’t imagine why anyone would buy a modern one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a veteran⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn’t the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a veteran⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a veteran⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That isn’t how quotation works. Reading comprehension failed you on the second point.

  I very much can believe people are stupid enough to fall for trump’s scams. Our education system is in shambles. For example, imagine an adult that doesn’t understand quotations. As for the second “quotation”, I said nothing about “Everyone who works in a factory”. I could have also included some positive examples, as those parallels exist as well. I assumed that was incredibly obvious to the point of not having to be stated outright, and would be excess verbage that didn’t directly communicate my point. My comment was more of an indictment of SOME soldiers. People ignorantly put them all up on pedestals, but if you look around your workplace, you are going to see a few of those shitty people, you get the same among the enlisted. It isn’t “everyone” by any stretch, just like in a factory. They should be judged by their merits and qualities not their job title. Some, maybe even a lot, do earn it, but not all and not by default. Idolatry isn’t healthy, look at those maga fools for an example why.

  To your last point; again, imagine an adult that can’t parse information, makes only negative assumptions, doesn’t know how to use quotations. That level of ignorance, persecution fetishism, and lack of critical thinking is a product of a poor education system and the poorly educated and fact-inoculated is how we have so many trump supporters.

  People don’t understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA…he fell for the deception and I couldn’t pull him out. I get real bad “left a man behind” in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up…fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.

  If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren’t. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn’t like the fantasy portrays.

  Get better racking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All media should swing anti-nazi. More movies about killing Nazis, more games about it, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a lot of not making a point. The girl in the OP is still worried about walking at night and the most common threat to a woman in that situation is still men. You didn’t counterpoint any of that, so it is just you shouting into the wind about stuff no one is talking about. Cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, and as a guy, I am not going home with two women that approach me in a bar after I flash some cash. Know your attackers and keep safe from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, and we are less likely to be targeted. Also, not a whole lot of women out there murdering around town at night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “She just got raped, beaten and robbed, that totally isn’t a murder! Women are safer than men!” sheesh, talk about not making a point…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games for killing nazis?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games for killing nazis?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Select a tip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Delivery services (like DoorDash or Domino’s) and the like tend to do it. They also show your tip to the person. You end up getting service based on your tip instead of the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Select a tip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It’s a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really is like this⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, that makes no point. Neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for “no reason at all”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes Super Mario Bros⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They CAN be, but they are not obligated to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes Super Mario Bros⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A game is something that has a goal within certain bounds/rules. You accept that when you play and tedium isn’t relivent except as maybe a thing you don’t like, just like you might not like how a piece feels or character looks or a particular rule.

  A toy is something you play with for “fun”.

  I think people that want a toy accidentally start playing a game then get upset that it isnt a toy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon fixes Super Mario Bros⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget to add mounts and pets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is by design. If the “majority” of the country wants the US to be Nazis, that is the direction it will go. That is how a representative democracy works. The flaw was the founders assuming retarded puppets would not be elected by even an uneducated public. But, they also didn’t plan for automatic weapons either. Well, they sort of did, they said we should be rewriting the constitution every so many years so it can evolve with the times, but we chose to enshrine and misinterpret it like a civic bible. Oops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hulu quizzing about the ads played⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dropped Hulu so very long ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a snack break while filming a porno⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would imagine it gets samey day after day and is just a job that pays the bills. I know a girl that does such acting and it really is just a day job, I imagine the crew have even less investment after a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time is an unstoppable force⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not awake, read that as something about shaving your teeth and recoiled and reread it and I missed the mark by so far…coffee time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand the position and the line of thought that leads to the victim blaming idea, but ultimately there is not a “victim”. It is not being forced upon the “victim”. While it is entirely true the playing field is violently unfair, it is still a choice to participate.

  This is why regulation is a good thing. Level the playing field and make it safer for those that choose to partake…but it is ultimately personal accountability, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates smartphones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, none of that is the phone’s fault. That is like blaming fast food for being a fat ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop making up states⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The line is so…vertical. Incorrect but funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A guy that came in as an LPO to a company I worked for used to brag about his last job. He worked for a non-profit and his whole entire job was to find ways to make money off of it. Tax loopholes, legal scams, etc. He said it was his favorite job because it was like solving a puzzle every day.

  So gross.

  Anyway, the top brass really liked him and followed all his plans for our company. Now it is in Mexico and the main facilities are shut down.
