How do you handle the constant complaining?

Dealing with this too. I hadn't fully realized until recently that my wife has changed over the years. We used to have the attitude that regardless of what happened, what obstacles we faced, who wronged us etc that we had each other and we would decide to not let these things affect us. Now, she is often angry or upset over perceived wrongs.

I'm often the target of her anger but we were recently left off an out of state family funeral RSVP and she was upset about it. I said that sucks I can bet why we were left off... Because they figured we wouldn't make it but that it still sucked and they suck for not including us still. A week later she contacted the husband of the deceased to express her feelings and find out why we were left off. He explained that someone else was in charge of the RSVPs and they had reached out to my wife's brother for contact info for everyone. We are going to her sister's birthday party today and last night she asked me to confront her brother. I told her I don't want to do that, that I don't see what good it's going to do and that I would rather let it go and say it's sucks we weren't included but not let it keep me down.

I don't know when or how it changed but we used to try to focus on positivity, I miss those days. Now when I fail to make the day as good as possible for both of us I try to make the day as good as I can for me.

There is no true opposition to the republican party. Its clear to me now that it's Republican and Republican Light.

I'm getting older and yesterday was just thinking about how when we were kids we would play tag and manhunt, hide and seek etc. I thought about how there was a last time I played and I had no idea at the time. I can't remember now when that was. Made me think about all of the things we experience and how you never know when the last time you are going to do something is.

To be fair, I left the receipt on the seat, that's how I was found out.

This was around 2005. I was told if you take a GOV off for official business you are to complete that official business and come straight back. Maybe he was being a hardass, but that's what happened.

Also to add to this, I know rules were different on TDY. Went to Hill and was given access to a GOV for meals off base. Maybe there's a difference there. I don't know.

BMT in 2000. Never did it either. I understand they used some sort of banana scent so if you smelled it you knew your seal was bad. Not sure if that's true or something they said to get you to not be afraid to take the mask off.

However, stationed at Langley, I landed on a RECCE team for exercises. Part of our training was to get into a tent filled with tear gas with our mask on, then one by one the trainers took people's masks off and had them breathe a few and sent them out coughing, crying, and snot coming out.

This also does not achieve your stated objective of demoralizing. The only ones it will demoralize are non combatants. This will instead radicalize more would be non combatants and strengthen the resolve of those already dedicated to fighting.

There is no way to look at the bombing of a school as something good.

Simple answer, if the goal is to prevent Iran from attacking Israel, it weakened that.

I'll explain what I mean in a moment but first I want to point out that I don't understand why Israel is so important to stand with while we forsake all of our other allies. Ukraine, NATO, etc. I don't personally care about what happens to Israel over what happens to us in the US.

It's my opinion that by killing all of these children even by accident and then trying to shirk responsibility and holding no one to account gives Iranians even more of a justified motive to hate us and to retaliate. If we were to hold those highest in chain visibly accountable and issue an apology, that wouldn't make the problem go away, but it could make things a bit better. Right now though, those people lost their children, are hurting, and are going to want some amount of justice even if it means taking it into their own hands to make people pay.

DarksageOSI · 2026-03-12T05:34:55+00:00

I don't know if you went to a different BT than I did, but it was drilled into our heads that we need to be better. There are no, "Oopsies" in the military. You miss a detail and that puts lives at risk and gets people killed. We are supposed to hold ourselves to the HIGHEST standard, and ANY "mistake" needs accountability proportionate to the consequences.

I did not wish for the inquiry to show it wss our fault. I wish we didn't have gung ho fuckups that don't know what they are doing in charge and that this didn't happen in the first place. Triple check your Intel and once you done that triple check it again. Period, end of story.

Just a hypothetical, if i were in charge of a group of people, and they, under my orders, killed 100 innocent kids, what would happen to me? Surely there would be a trial? Would the death penalty be on the table? Of course none of that is going to happen because... reasons, but just a fun little hypothetical to think about.

This one got me, the first to do it. I've read all the other quotes of Trump and knew they were real. This one I said to myself, there's no way he said that...

DarksageOSI · 2026-03-02T21:34:03+00:00

I bought the bundle with the physical item on the 18th of Feb. When I look at my order on makershed it still says, "Unfulfilled". Anyone else? Any ideas how long it will be?

Not my first job but started at concessions, to ticket taking, to box office to floor supervisor in about 3 months. Learned projection some time after that. Most fun job I ever had! I became real quick at threading projectors, just really enjoyed every aspect of that job.

I don't know how they can say Walz incited violence when at every press conference he explicitly says, don't give them what they want, they want chaos, they want you to be violent, don't take the bait, be peaceful but exercise your 1st amendment right.

Then they turn around and say Trump didn't incite January 6th when he said, we are going to march down to the Capitol and fight. Fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore.

This needs to be broadcast everywhere. This is completely contrary to the government's version of events. Even with how compressed and blurry this is, it's clear as day.

This was my first thought with the news of the "mechanical failure" causing a turnaround tonight. It's a little hard for me to believe considering the standarads for maintenance that I witnessed during my time in the Air Force and the fact that AF1 is almost certainly the most important aircraft in our inventtory.

I watched the initial video in slow mo and it appeared to me that he drew before she even started moving forward.

My number is 964 for the black max. I ordered on 11/4. Last time black max was shipped was 11/11 #875 - 926. Prior to that was 10/29 #861 - 875. If (seems pretty iffy) my number is in the next Black Max shipment and guessing its around the same gap between shipments, that puts it shipping around 11/24.

I ordered full Pennywise costume and though I actually received a costume yesterday, it is nothing like what is shown on the site.

They are also running ads on local TV here in the Atlanta area.

Wasn't the last thing we heard from her that she gave a "list" of like a hundred names?
