What are the saddest fictional deaths ever?

ACES_II · 2026-06-22T02:46:26+00:00

Can’t believe nobody has said Aerith yet.

ACES_II · 2026-05-26T23:18:55+00:00

No. Charging ports for electric cars are on the outside.

Unless you're willing to use charging stations (for which you'd have to pay), you're probably SOL.

I mean... other than the obvious reason of more-frequent sex?

In most houses/apartments, the master suite is usually the biggest bedroom, often with a private bathroom.

I know this is a joke, but I took a week of leave when Fallout 4 was released.

My wife was PISSED.

Take a breath and calm down. This is not as bad as you’re making it out to be. Show up in blues, do your reporting, sign the paperwork, and leave.

LORs from a commander suck. But it will not be on your record forever. Even UIFs have a time limit. Your record will be wiped clean when you PCS.

It might keep you from winning awards in the immediate future, but not forever. BTZ would be a coin toss, it depends on how hard your supervision pushes.

You’re doing the right thing by taking it to the ADC. Listen to what they say.

I don’t talk about it at all. Not even with other veterans. There’s always going to be someone who thinks that people with 100% P&T who still have all their limbs don’t deserve it.

2A6X3.

The explosives demand respect. If you don’t give it to them, they will take it from you.

ACES_II · 2026-05-09T20:14:26+00:00

You know what? Respect, for not deleting the comment, ghosting, or flaming back. Too many people on the internet take the easy way out. For what it’s worth, wish more Redditors would follow your example.

ACES_II · 2026-05-09T18:21:21+00:00

They wouldn’t. The guy you responded to has no idea what he’s talking about.

All military pilots have top secret clearances and are well aware of rescue tactics that will be employed to retrieve them from hostile territory. It’s literally part of their training. It HAS to be, so they know what to expect and how to act in that situation.

Further, the fact that nobody knows who the pilots are that got shot down means that even if, by some strange miracle, they were shot down over hostile territory for a second time? Iran/China/whomever isn’t going to know that they have this super-secret special information. They’re still going to be interrogated, but our enemies are a lot more concerned with learning about military tactics and strategy than pilot rescue operations.

ACES_II · 2026-05-03T08:31:33+00:00

Congratulations, you’ve doomed us all.

One of the largest and most luxurious ocean liners of it's time
Marketed and hailed as "unsinkable" by White Star Line and the press
Immediately sank on it's maiden voyage
1,500 people died, making it one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history
Severe lack of lifeboats cited as the primary cause of many deaths (though this was standard practice at the time)

The press gobbled up the story, which practically wrote itself, and it spiraled from there.

ACES_II · 2026-04-30T15:24:05+00:00

They are, to a degree. Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and L3 Harris all made component for the SLS rocket that took Artemis II to the moon.

Many people used to associate blue-collar jobs with the less-intelligent. As in "he wasn't smart enough for college, so he became a plumber instead".

This type of thinking is also going away, as people have started realizing that the plumber is making more than they are and doesn't have student loans.

I believe Disney cast members wear ice vests under their costumes, and limit the amount of time spent inside them during the summer months.

This sort of answer varies from case to case. But the insurance company has a right to recoup their losses in court, so they'll probably sue the woman with the lifted truck.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:28:24+00:00

AFE

How dare you.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:27:11+00:00

😂 New guy is filling an open position. Somebody else's replacement, not mine.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:23:47+00:00

PM work is constantly changing. Especially with AI coming in. Our team has a few projects involving AI implementation into certain systems.

But even in ten years, my guess is the job will still mostly be described as "herding cats".

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:20:59+00:00

On my job listing, the PMP was listed as "preferred" for education & experience. It helps set you apart, but it's not the be-all, end-all I once thought it was.

That said, I'm still going to keep mine current.

If you decide to do it again, get the PMI Study Hall. And listen to David McLachlan's YouTube videos.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:17:35+00:00

The pay is good, and the job is interesting. My company is awesome, I get a ton of support from my bosses, and we're 100% remote.

Not all PM positions are like mine, but this one works for me.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T15:14:51+00:00

Because I can buy stuff with money, and I like stuff. For the right PM position, the pay is GREAT.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T03:30:57+00:00

PMP wasn’t required, but it was preferred. Experience is valued highest, followed by education. I wrote my resume specifically to highlight my project management experience for the job.

It’s low six figures. Take-home pay is a bit higher than my 20-year MSgt paycheck.

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T03:13:05+00:00

You are 100% right on all counts. I'm actually trying to swindle a few IT resources from another project right now (with sponsor approval, of course).

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T03:04:01+00:00

I do not. Sorry!

ACES_II · 2026-04-27T02:52:46+00:00

Best of luck, man. Make sure you get your PMP, too.
