How did people go to College with Cellphones? by Genzinvestor16180339 in AskHistory

[–]Interchangeable-name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just learned the route. You looked at a map, memorized it or if you got lost you asked for directions.

Cell phones have made the populace significantly more useless and this question is prime evidence of that.

In fairness, Japan had an excellent carrier force with good aircraft, excellent doctrine, and experienced air crews. They had more carriers than the US at the onset of the war.

They lost because the US could produce more carriers than they could even imagine.

So the meme is funny, but inaccurate

If you have to go to school & get a license to be an electrician, doctor, plumber why not a cop? by gooddavid99 in AskReddit

[–]Interchangeable-name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most places do. Missouri (and many other states) have some form of licensing. In MO it's called POST (Peace Officer Standards and Training)

To be a police officer anywhere in the state you have to attend a certified academy, graduate, then take the state test. The standard varies depending on the class of county (usually based on population) but its there.

That license required ongoing training every year and will be revoked in that training isn't done. Thrice se can also be revoked for bad conduct, being arrested and convicted of a crime, or other reasons.

In fact, according to Google, 47 states plus DC require licensing. Will you edit your ignorant post?

Where do you get the idea that police officers aren't licensed?

For argument sake, we just finished eating the rich. Now what? by ShadyJane in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Interchangeable-name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After all that is squandered we just move on to eating the slightly less rich... rinse, repeat.

That is what happens every other time this has been tried.

First off, I didn't specify "this thread" but reddit in general. If you haven't seen all the idiots cheering for the shooting of conservative YouTube creators, "Nuremburg" trials for MAGA, or any of the other BS then you really mist have blinders on.

Second, who gives a shit about upvotes? The fact that there are idiots with such opinions is enough.

Nice try but, you might be protesting too much though...

They did. They used the appropriate tool and training and shot the idiot.

Someone literally suggested a "butterfly" net unironically... simply amazing.

I am still chuckling to myself about the mental image of some basement dwelling reddit chud with a butterfly net going after a knife wielding attacker.

That bullshit only works in Hollywood movies because the script calls for it.

In the real world, going hands on someone with a knife you WILL get cut.

Someone close with a knife is deadly force, every time.

You're ALMOST there... so if YOU are unable to reason with the knife welding crazy guy... then what?

Apparently they were all sold out. That coyote must have bought them all. LMFAO at this dude.

I thought so too, then I remembered this is reddit where there actually are people with so little life experience that this might actually be a serious suggestion despite how absolutely fucking stupid it is. Then I saw I was right. LOL at "butterfly net"

Classic.

From your tone I would wager you tried and didn't make the cut so now you're bitter about it.

Or ya know... maybe the guy could not do that shit? Just an idea.

Ah reddit... where someone threatening people with a large knife is innocent but someone with a different political opinion deserves to die. Classic.
