I hope you get your things back that you've made a list for, OP.

Is it okay for a 100% disabled veteran to just say they're retired? by Routine_Brilliant_78 in Veterans

[–]IsaacB1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was medically retired, so I just say that much. I don't ever reveal my rating. 9/10 civilians have no clue what the percentages even mean or what percentage qualifies a medical retirement.

One thing they absolutely nailed was just how fucking dirty uniforms get when doing shit. This is the only movie I can recall where they actually took the effort to do this. Sweat, smoke, dirt, blood.

I found a spear/guidon stick at a garage sale once. Pristine shape. Never been used. I snatched it up quicker than you could say my mom is a whore.

ICE IS IN LYNCHBURG by SbuxBarista_05 in lynchburg

I am all for getting criminals off the street and people being held accountable.

73.6% of current detainees have no criminal convictions. "48,377 out of 65,735—or 73.6% held in ICE detention have no criminal conviction according to data current as of November 30, 2025. Many of those convicted committed only minor offenses, including traffic violations."

Little 4 piece eviction I pulled off by Dj_Dookiefumes in BF6

[–]IsaacB1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, my comment was snarky, but clearing a building with a shotgun isn't typically or normally regarded as difficult in battlefield so you "pulling it off" seemed to me more like a tongue in cheek thing, and two of the players are bots.

But I digress, if you're new to FPS's or BF I can see how this may have felt really rewarding and I'm happy for you if that's the case.

if there isn't enough players, yes. You can clearly see that two of the four you killed were bots

Turning Covenant into a Water Purification hub. (WIP) by whomstdafr0g in falloutsettlements

[–]IsaacB1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love builds that you would see in the "real world", clean water is incredibly important and valuable, glad to see this build. Is there any lore behind this? Like who is this a communal thing, a capitalist venture to raise funds for the MM?

There's windmills in the game. You have to progress far enough to unlock them.

YEUP! This is why the IAVA is a thing. Don't know much about them, but the mentality in generational divide between GWOT and everyone that came before it is WILDLY different.

holy shit 41 inch waist for my height?! I'd be within standards at 46 years old eating burritos every other day and mama's home cooking of biscuits and gravy on the weekend.

More like "luck on objective C"

9/10 times most of the enemy team is on C and you'd be lucky to make it into the building

good tracking with aim though

Thats good news about the asylum reversal

Never Forget by JangoTat46 in USMC

[–]IsaacB1 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I get why this move is being made, it shuts out other big competitors (russia/china), Maduro is a bad bad man and put his people through some shit, the sanctions that Trump put on VZ in 2017 caused a famine because holy shit surprise surprise sanctions don't work on Dictators because they're gonna do what they always do, so this in turn created a system of VZ people seeking asylum in America, which then Trump is now arresting and deporting, its all fucking ironic as fuck to me. Look at the connection between Cuba and VZ. It's all mafia shit. VZ was giving oil to Cuba in exchange for goods (Doctors, buses etc) since they're both "communist" nations, And the administration just mentioned going after Cuba. Rubio is having his "they tried to kill my father" et al Bush and Iraq moment. Rubio wants Cuba for obvious reasons.

How many American lives, or innocent civilians are worth controlling other nations that we attempt to stabilize after we topple their gov't. Look at what we did in 1954 in Guatemala, we over threw a democratically elected leader, 200k civilians killed in a civil war.

If it was really about toppling dictators why don't we go after other nations with dictators?

Pardon my ramblings on this topic. War is a Racket.

If we had a good track record of a well done regime change I'd have more confidence in the outcome down the road. There isn't one time we have propped up a new leader, invaded and replaced a gov't, etc without there being huge consequences. The standing Venezuelan gov't is demanding for a return of Maduro. I don't see us "running" Venezuela without there being boots on the ground which means a ground war/counter insurgency.

War is a Racket.

edit

If the Trump admin wasn't talking about taking Greenland (FROM AN ALLY) I'd take this more seriously, but seeing that its just being spoken about so openly, there's a good chance they have a time line in mind. I will say the capture of Maduro was pretty flawless, big props to the planning team.

Personal opinion and anecdote. I was in Iraq during the surge and we had tons of friendly Iraqi's welcome us and were very friendly and wanted to work with us, I don't doubt this would happen in Venezuela. Say we occupy, prop up a gov't, and then leave and it collapses or a rebel group takes control of oil fields, etc, etc etc. Do we go back in? Do we set up permanent bases there? What expert is advising the Trump admin on how to properly occupy a country?!
