- Comment on Why is it almost every cease fire or deal made in the Middle East everyone adds a little fuck you to the Kurds? Just like the MoU screwed them. As far back as I think Nixon was fucking over them. 14 hours ago:
Again the problem with your thoery is the notion that Sykes Picot is the cause of the issues in that region.

The only problem with your theory is Sykes Picot was never implimented.

Soccer has caught on in the states.
The number one sport in the US is American football.

Number four is Hockey.
Number five is Soccer.

- Comment on Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into? 4 days ago:
I did basic in 94. It seems you did it during the GWOT.
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 4 days ago:
Command is obligated to maintain accountability of their soldiers, but knowing details of medical issues gets tricky.
If a soldier has a medical issue that prevents them from doing thier duties there is a process to communicate that. It is called being on profile. Say a soldier injured their wrist, they would get a profile that would say no lifting, or operating machinery, etc.
- Comment on People who work in medical offices, has anyone ever called to verify a doctor note for work or school? 4 days ago:
I only reported if they had an appointment at the clinic I worked at. All we were allowed to tell the soldiers command is the date and time and location of the appointment, no other details.
When hour in the army, your command can verify any appointment a soldier has. So while i don’t know of any “sick call” reporting, i am sure that happens.

I was an Army Social Worker and I did confirmed appointments for soldiers.

Are you asking about seeing a dead person or seeing someone naked?
As far as cops I can’t speak for all departments but most police departments barely get taught to shoot a gun ,so they aren’t seeing corpses to desensitize them.
For the US Army no on dead people as a whole, but for nudity, you are nude around each other all the time during basic training. It is comical watching the dudes get all worked about it who can’t handle it.
There are MOS (Military Occupational Speciality) that deal with dead bodies and work in surgeries etc, so they will be exposed to dead people.
- Comment on Is the gripe against AI the same as CGI when first being used? 1 week ago:
Not at all. The first use of CGI in movies is lauded as one of the greatest movies of all time, Hitchcock’s Vertigo.
The next big milestones for CGI was Westworld and then Tron. Both are celebrated for the use of CGI.
- Comment on Should I donate sperm? 1 week ago:
The cost of birth is a tiny fraction of the cost of having a kid.
When you are donating sperm you are not having a kid with someone. You are blowing a load into a cup and moving on.
- Comment on Should I donate sperm? 1 week ago:
YEAH there is no way in hell i am donating sperm to people who can’t afford it through traditional channels.
- If you cant afford the splooge there is no way you can afford a kid.
- I am not willing to be on the hook for child support.

I am sorry you don’t want to burn up sick time or PTO… you have no choice, or find a care giver that works on weekends.

- Comment on Love/hate relationship with Bethesda Game Studio 1 week ago:
My problem with Bethesda Game Studio games is that I am convinced that I love them, when I really don’t. The truth is I have always struggled to finish anything Bethesda Game Studio has made.
- Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians? 1 week ago:
No, but I was a hospital social worker for a while so I spent a lot of time with nurses.
OMG it is insane the amount of shit nurses get.
- Comment on In a state that offers legal aid is it worth it? Or is it pretty much the bottom of the barrel for defense and compensation? 1 week ago:
If it is your only option then yes legal aid is worth it.
- Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians? 1 week ago:
So the answer to your first question is contained within your second.
Since no one wants to be the mod you vetting process is anyone who is willing to do it.
Being a mod of an active community is a fucking nightmare. It is a thankless job and everyone thinks they can do it better and will project all their bullshit on you.
- Comment on Do people really give a shit on what a US President wear? I just see from time to time that they bring up the Tan Suit Incident with Obama. What is or was the big deal? I slept since then. 1 week ago:
It is beyond bizarre what becomes a big deal with US Presidents, it is even more bizarre what doesn’t.
With that said, the silly shit that people got worked up about with Obama was beyond the pale.

- Comment on What would happen if the US got rid of the majority of their bases and brought all the stationed soldiers home? What would be the impact on society, the economy, and other things? 1 week ago:
Those bases stabilize regions. I would rather fight wars by have soldiers, airmen and sai,ors buying dinner out and other commodity items, than with bullets.
