- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 4 days ago:
I think maybe a little misleading, but probably not fake. For the boxed meal, that shit happened all the time. It’s just like going through the drive through.
For meals served on ships, most of the time you ask for what you want, they don’t just give you what they have. If you have a piece of bread on your tray, that’s because you only grabbed a piece of bread. Most of the time.
Sometimes there’s just not a lot of options because you haven’t been replenished in a while and the cooks have already done what they can to keep people from bitching at them constantly. Fresh fruits and vegetables are always the first to spoil, so eventually everything is canned, frozen, rehydrated, or reconstituted. Or baked from scratch, poorly.

My brain is so good at detecting patterns that I realize that I shouldn’t even engage with this
- Comment on Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 1 week ago:
Maybe the school could be given a list of the groups of people who are welcome. Make em spell it out, if “everyone” is too broad.

If you’ve ever been on one you know that even being slightly off center is going to spill you into the water. I doubt a gator could even get on a floaty long ways like that
- Comment on In Star Wars, what would it mean "to bring balance to The Force?" 4 weeks ago:
Why lol here? The sequels are a bit hollow, so this seems like it would be true almost no matter what, but not having seen acolyte I can’t draw a fair comparison.

Did everyone share qui gon’s view that Anakin was going to do that? Or was it just him and obi wan?

- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 1 month ago:
Rice pilaf would like a word with your starch-deprived mother
- Comment on The function of your product is WHAT?? 1 month ago:
No way that air pistol is shooting anything other than plastic BBs, but that does look like an Asherman chest seal for a sucking chest wound
- Comment on Indie Dev Says Game Refunded 55,000 Times Via Steam Loophole 1 month ago:
If it’s good enough that I finished it I’m gonna let the creator keep the money (and pay close attention to the reviews next time, because I agree that less than 2 hours is a little short for that amount of entertainment) and make myself feel better by treating it like a donation to a good cause.

Those were the sorts of stories I heard about unions when I was growing up. Want to clean up a mess? Sorry, union rules say you have to wait for another guy to get here to do it.
I always felt like unions just got in the way of doing things logically or quickly, but I’m pretty sure those stories and comments were intended to do that. Nowadays I know better, and I agree with you: we need unions now more than ever.
- Comment on If I went to a mechanic for my car and told them I had a problem with the aft starboard tire would they think I'm a dork? 2 months ago:
How far abaft of the beam? How far from centerline? Is that first or second deck?

Why would he be sad? I thought that was the point. What better way to distract from the other distractions?
- Comment on Is there anything still on comparable to Steven Colbert? 3 months ago:
(oops, it’s John, not Jon)
That makes sense and I’ve felt the same with a few bits they’ve done recently, and they harp on things a little too long sometimes (Lyndon Johnson’s nuts, for example), but I still think he/the writers make compelling arguments and present them in interesting ways.
It’s amusing and informative, perfect for laugh-crying about the state of the world.
- Comment on Is there anything still on comparable to Steven Colbert? 3 months ago:
And Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver.
For the late shows I like Kimmel well enough, but he just doesn’t have the same charisma as Colbert.

There’s no profit in it, is my cynical answer that I wouldn’t be surprised to find is actually true.

Sounds like they split the signal after the cable box. The original Duplicate Screen.
- Comment on No it won’t 8 months ago:
I think plasma should just be one of the commonly accepted Christmas decorations, you know? Quit fucking around with those other, lamer states of matter and just give the people what they want.
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 8 months ago:
Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I don’t think I’ve been presented any slop videos. Surely not long videos, right?

Can you believe they lip synched on live TV!? What fraudsters!
- Comment on 10 months ago:
I’ve been looking into this recently because The Algorithm wanted me to (I don’t always do what The Algorithm wants, but sometimes it’s really fucking spot-on so maybe I’m just institutionalized) and I simply don’t see why this is really any different from anything else available.
Is it really that much better? Is it the same thing just with better execution? As we’ve seen time and again, popular doesn’t always mean good.
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 10 months ago:
Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.
In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.
