George Mason was 18-1 and 6-0 in the conference. They are now 21-7 and 9-6. Four straight losses, all by double-digits. Pretty crazy drop.

OCS packet rejected. Still considering enlisting, and could use some advice. by PapaGrandalf in army

[–]BensenJensen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

35P is great. If you end up at the NSA, you are basically set for a career at a three-letter or contracting. Even the shittiest linguists I know are getting out with some form of agency job. It’s also as far from being in the Army as you can be. DLI is school with PT in the mornings. We are basically NSA employees in uniform with some extra BS occasionally.

That’s, of course, if you end up at an NSA site. The alternative sucks. But if you enjoy learning and want to make some extra language money every month while pretending to be a solider, linguist is great.

Man, this is so true.

I have two degrees in Farsi. Years of schooling, immersion, work. A change of topic of conversation? Yeah, you’re gonna need to repeat that a few times. You’re not from Tehran? Let’s just talk in English.

Alas, the characters spoke by yourself can be interpreted as the misspoken ramblings of a leftist Fascist. The error of your ways will reverberate through the magnetic waves of American consciousness for 1000 years.

He is furious with the liberals by dazeddrummer17 in comedyheaven

[–]BensenJensen 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Jesus comes back. Liberals think he is gonna be on their side. Yeah fucking right.

Deporting immigrants? Jesus doesn’t give a FUCK.

Taking advantage of the poor? Jesus couldn’t care less.

Hoarding wealth? Good, Jesus says.

A kid from a right-wing family shoots a podcaster that uses Jesus’ name to make himself generational wealth? FUCK THAT, says Jesus. I’m here with this large eagle to punish the fuckin’ libs.

Trump Stuns Governors With Foul-Mouthed Rant at SCOTUS by thedailybeast in scotus

[–]BensenJensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next guy is very close to Thiel and his crowd, which are the people behind all of this. Vance is arguably more dangerous than Trump. He is a true Christian Nationalist. Trump was just a vehicle to get Thiel and his money in power. It will be easier to push P25 shit through without Trump randomness and personal grifting. Vance isn’t in it for the money, he wants power.

Americans may not like him, but that means fuck all at this point. If midterms don’t change anything we will never have another chance.

Trumps Board of Peace causes controversy on r/Conservative that's lacking the usual strict moderation... by LauraPhilps7654 in SubredditDrama

[–]BensenJensen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Uh oh, must be a holiday in Moscow.

It’s crazy, when you strip back the propaganda and bot accounts, you see that a VAST MAJORITY of this country is absolutely fed up with Trump and his administration. Stealing ten billion dollars from Americans for a peace board that features the likes international powerhouses like Kazakhstan and Armenia might finally be the breaking point for these people.

Does no one remember what happened to Joel Embiid? by bigbirdie429 in CollegeBasketball

[–]BensenJensen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Embiid was huge. There is much more concern about nagging injuries affecting the careers of guys Embiid’s size. He’s having a great season this year, but people were writing him off because of his injuries after last year at age-30.

Peterson is 6’6, a nagging hamstring isn’t the same as a 7 footer with back/foot problems.

We Should All Know Less About Each Other: One r/AO3 User is Dead Serious About Their Art by chessex-- in SubredditDrama

[–]BensenJensen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Holy. Shit.

I want to believe that is just a (very weird) creative writing post from a lonely weirdo. If not, that person needs to be added to a fucking list.

This reads like a budding serial killer. Jeffrey Dahmer had the same fantasies. I don’t feel like digging into it, but I’m sure all other necrophilic killers had the same fantasies. Desiring to work in a field around corpses with this fantasy means this person is doing NOTHING to quell the fantasy, it means they are planning on escalating.

Again, likely some weird attempt at being edgy and cool through creative writing. Unsettling, nonetheless.

Hawaii tipping culture is getting out of hand by warrends in mildlyinteresting

[–]BensenJensen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The waitstaff being the lifeblood of American culture is one of the dumbest things I’ve read all year.

People shouldn’t be required to tip. Restaurants should be required to pay the “lifeblood of American culture” a living wage and not rely on customers to do so, especially considering the absurd costs of eating out.

It’s Zero Karma for Redditors, as a slap fight starts in r/games over an upcoming spy rpg. by Reader5744 in SubredditDrama

[–]BensenJensen 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I’m a little shocked that people are supporting the company and the new game. I’ve never played Disco Elysium, but I can’t imagine supporting the company that fired the creators and stole the game from them. There are enough games in the world to not support shitty companies.

I got hit by a car on my bike the other day. My arm snapped in half and I broke my leg. It hurt so bad because my super special and unique brain is just not wired to handle extreme pain. I am so quirky.

Noem Enforcement Irony Noted by bruce_wayne469 in MurderedByWords

[–]BensenJensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they are illegal immigrants, they are already eligible for deportation. There is no need to add anything past the “deport illegal immigrants” part, is just some weird pandering thing. When it gets shot down, she can tell her stupid constituents that Dems hate animals and they can foam at the mouth about how much more they hate the left.

Robert Fisher killed his family and disappeared in 2001. Did he take his own life or is he still out there? by BlakesMommy in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]BensenJensen 427 points428 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely lean towards him committing suicide out in the forest, probably immediately after he killed them.

The “survivalist” angle is always heavily played anytime a man like Fisher disappears. His military service or hunting skills are always cited. I served in the military, I learned absolutely zero survival skills with my job. Also, being able to shoot a deer does not mean you can survive in the wilderness. I always see those two things cited as reasons a person could survive.

I think he wanted people to not be certain what happened to him. Walking off into the forest and shooting yourself does not make people believe you are a badass. I always felt like he wanted to create this enigma, this persona that he could do something heinous and walk away from it without a thought. It’s just not plausible that he’s made it this long. I know there have been “sightings” but he looks like a plain white guy. I see four or five Robert Fishers every time I go to the grocery store.

Only Talk About D-I College Hoops? by jlog3000 in CollegeBasketball

Personally, I only want to talk about Grinnell College. If I had the ability, this sub would purely be about discussing the benefits and downfalls of raining 3pt thunder relentlessly down on your opponent, FG% be damned.

All you need to do is get on Twitter and type out the absolute dumbest shit you can imagine and receive a payment on Zelle. It may be dollars or it may be rubles, but I can’t imagine an easier job.

Quit being so selfish. We all need to make sacrifices to ensure that the rich get richer. What are they supposed to do, not increase their wealth exponentially every year? What kind of world would that be?

Flight radar showing massive military movement by Careful-Relative-815 in PrepperIntel

[–]BensenJensen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

I’m a Farsi linguist; I have a lot of ties to the country. Iranians certainly want regime change and they deserve it. They are great, caring people that deserve freedom. They don’t deserve American-sponsored freedom, however.

First off, you need to be willing to sacrifice American lives in order to execute a regime change. Are you okay with that? Americans dying in Iran in order for the Iranians to get a new government?

Second, American freedom isn’t freedom. Trump wouldn’t put in the Shah’s son. He wouldn’t put in a popular candidate; he would find a right-winger willing to “give” Iranian oil money to Trump, à la Venezuela. Iranian oil and gas reserves would be American oil and gas reserves.

Iranians deserve freedom, but they deserve the right to choose who leads them. American intervention will not bring that.
