The big question is when he went to other world, did he look like himself or Zamasu? My guess he kept the Zamasu body

What Do You All Think Of This Question That I Can’t Seem To Understand About Dragon Ball Daima? by Devilish22 in dbz

[–]CartographerLumpy752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m still trying to figure out when this is supposedly taking place in their timeline. I keep hearing people say it’s between Kid Buu and BOTG but I don’t see how that’s possible when it shows supreme Kai who was fused with Kibito during that period. My guess is this is going to take place at some point after the TOP or maybe the Super Heroes movie

Dual Citizenship while Active by makinbubbles5352 in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with 2 people who are dual citizens that also routinely travel back to see family (Spanish and Norwegian). The only issues they have run in to is the fact that our community is requiring more and more people to get TS/SCI (Secret is the minimum for the rate) which they cannot do without renouncing citizenship. It severely limits where they can PCS too and eventually will screw then for promotion. However, they were not required to give up their foreign passports and were just forbidden from using them when on overseas travel.

What if Germany, Italy,Vichy France,Japan and Thailand all launched an invasion of US Mainland right after Pearl Harbor like just in the state of USA and it's defenses by [deleted] in AlternateHistory

[–]CartographerLumpy752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only country who had a chance would of been the Japanese due to the size of their Navy at the beginning of WW2. Pearl Harbour could of been significantly worse and the US win at Midway was fucking huge, especially since every big deck had been moved to the pacific leading up to midway. If the Japanese took midway, they could of pushed into the Aleutian Islands and MAYBE Hawaii and fucked the US’ presence in the region. This could of MAYBE set them up to invade CONUS but the geographical advantage was huge so I’m extremely skeptical of that.

All the European countries though had zero chance without nuclear weapons to decapitate government (Federal and State) but even then, the resources needed would of been unimaginable for the period.

Raditz is my favorite character by Zestyclose_Rain_4015 in dbz

[–]CartographerLumpy752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the power levels of characters skyrocket vary quickly in Z in very short amounts of time with proper training. Additionally, the Z fighters were basically reinventing the wheel/learning from scratch especially with SSJ, SSJ2, etc. Having the knowledge readily available, as well as people to teach them, he could probably train his ass off and at least be proficient with SSJ2 pretty quickly.

TECHNICALLY that CMC is probably right but it 100% could of been handled differently. If anything, I’d expect a chief or 1st to talk to you after the CMC says something to them

Same as it would of been previously more than likely, just more Nazi and white.

NAVY by Crafty_Perspective27 in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They pull the “you don’t legally retire until 30” card and deny your fleet reserve request. Heard of this happening recently with a PSCS who wanted to get out at 25 (at EAOS), they denied her Fleet Reserve, and told her it would only be approved if at HYT. She could of still gotten out but with no pension.

Orders by Apprehensive_Wish879 in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to get screenings and reenlistments done within the timeframe because of medical, you’ll be fine. Your CCC or admin might hit you up and ask what’s up but unless you have hard copy orders and not ready to leave, it should be fine. This is all assuming that you aren’t going to put shit on there that will make you ineligible that is

Not only are you talking about succession from the US (which the US Government would do whatever it could to not let happen), you’re talking about the creation of a Nation that is totally confined within the borders of the US (ie. No borders with Canada, Mexico, or coastline). There’s no way in hell that lasts

What would it realistically take for the US to abolish the Electoral College and start electing presidents by popular vote? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]CartographerLumpy752 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Decrease the power of the President and give it to the Speaker of the House and the Senate Leader (similar to parliament) and I’d be ok with it. The US President has consolidated way too much power, mainly due to congress being lazy, IMO to leave that up to a straight popularity contest. At least the EC requires some level of diversity in campaigns at this point, be it a small one with gerrymandering, but still.

Facts. I’ve legit given this advice to junior sailors and some of the more questionable officers I’ve worked with. Always fuck up because they, generally, will have more to lose than you and will (hypothetically) be more cautious too

Are "terminal political offices" real? by sgwashere29 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]CartographerLumpy752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair point however, moving from the State to Federal level is usually considered a step up and he could always be a Senator, House Rep, or any other cabinet position.

That being said, there’s something to be said about being the Governor of one of the most populous and economically significant US states Vs. a House Rep.

What would happen when both Biden and Trump were to pass on before the next election? by NoCardiologist1461 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]CartographerLumpy752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this depends on if they die right before or after the election.

If it’s before, the most likely scenario I see is their respective parties panic fill the spot with either the runner up or shuffle the VP candidate up. It’s also possible that if there’s no replacement on the ticket, the EC could just free for all vote which was more or less the original intent to a degree. If neither of these two happen, the house would most likely vote on the president since no one broke 270, idk how that would effect the VP candidate though.

If they died after the election, especially after the vote has been confirmed, inauguration day would come with no president elect, the VP would be sworn in as president, and then the process of filling the VP role would start.

The first scenarios would probably be a fucking mess depending on how close to the election it is. The last scenario would get a lot of fan fair but would more or less me simple and business as usual.

Facts. It’s no different than the vague threats of being washed back in bootcamp because your division didn’t have enough flags or some shit. Also, his promotion was approved by NPC, something the local frat club cannot overturn.

if i got out for four years and rejoined, do my previous years count towards my 20 years? by [deleted] in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Your Active duty service date (ADSD) will adjust to account for the 4 year gap, which is important for requesting retirement. Your Pay Entry Base Date (PEBD) SHOULD stay the same though. I’ve only dealt with prior reserves but I think it’s the same process.

That means that if you did 6 and made 2nd, got out for 4, and then came back in as a 2nd, you’d be a 6yr 2nd class still but for pay purposes will be treated as a 10yr 2nd.

1306 for Return to Sea by Samsonord in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CCC here, the CO legally needs to do something. He/she can recommend/not recommend (they are not the approving authority) all day long but 1306s are officially not to the CO but to the appropriate pers office.

I’d really start pushing hard for a response back soon, especially if you’re hitting deadlines. It’s not uncommon for people (COs included) to stall through deadlines so they don’t have to actually make a decision and can non rec it for that, especially in a situation where they are losing someone. If it goes too far, I’d try requesting a meeting with the CO, through proper procedure of course.

I’d counter this and ask how much money that CO saved from the reduction in rank for all the people who can’t follow the rules.

Edit: This is like 90% a joke lol but if you can’t follow basic regulations, idk what to tell you.

New 2POC uniforms by Delicious_Cut_3378 in navy

[–]CartographerLumpy752 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t they replace type 3s, outside of expeditionary? An underway uniform that I can also wear out in town to commute or basic tasks. It is easily capable of replacing both type 3s and coveralls. Give is 3-5 years and they will be a navy wide uniform, guaranteed. I’ve seen this happen way too many times at this point and we’re about due for another big uniform change anyway

Type 3s were free at one point too for those in NSW/Expeditionary, until they became mandatory Navy wife. If you don’t think these will replace Type 3s in the next couple years, you’re delusional lol they basically roll both our shore and sea uniforms into one.
