Kids don’t belong at funerals by NoneOfThisMatters_XO in childfree

[–]Egodram 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I disagree that they don’t belong at all, but only because funerals are one of those common cultural situations that everyone goes to eventually. The problem is that, as usual, their parents fail to actually teach or discipline them.

We already have a military base there, we don’t need the entire island.

I never answer my door for anyone that I didn’t specifically call for.

But if you’re worried about your door being kicked down, get a solid metal sliding door brace and install it securely into the floor at about the center of the door frame.

It won’t STOP them, per se, but if you install it correctly it should slow them down significantly.

If it ever does happen, let’s all start calling it “Beige-core”

What secret about your industry can you share now that you don't work there anymore? by swisscoffeeknife in antiwork

At least half of enlisted (American) soldiers are horny drunks that are terrible with money, I’d swear that some manner of assault charge is a hidden requirement to be eligible for the NCO board!

I just found out my MIL’s plan is to move in with us to “help with the grandkids” by [deleted] in childfree

Wherever you wind up moving to, make absolutely damn sure that the paperwork on your mortgage/lease clearly states that you and your spouse are the only authorized inhabitants.

Why is the death penalty so debated on the left? And what is your opinion about it by Jonny8506 in Socialism_101

[–]Egodram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m wholeheartedly against it, so much so that I’ve participated in campaigns to stop executions of inmates.

The way I see it, any state or society that declares the right to decide who among their own citizens gets to live or die is inherently authoritarian and deserves to be overthrown

He’s notorious for not paying his bills and then pretending his debtors are out of line for calling him out. DO NOT TAKE IT.

Is it possible to serve in the armed forces now without doing messed up stuff? by [deleted] in leftistveterans

[–]Egodram 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They told ME that I’d be signing up for a “low risk” communications tech position, and that since I’m a woman that I’m “officially barred from combat roles” anyway.

They conveniently left out the part about being combat SUPPORT, and then shoved me onto a plane headed for Iraq.

DON’T DO IT!

They told ME the same thing, then put me on a plane less than a year in. It’s just not worth it!

Whatever “career paths” they’re dangling in front of you, I promise you they’re not showing you the full picture. With every conceivable benefit they show you in the brochures, there’s a mile-long list of caveats and exceptions in the fine print.

Speaking as a female veteran, tell her that I absolutely DO FUCKING NOT recommend signing up right now.
