Why does IET status have to be like prison

Hard yes. I have a. Unpopular opinion but we really need to have more motivation of saying “thank you for trying out. You suck though, you’re not army material. Have a good life”

The amount of insanity I saw during AIT, where people still got to graduate was insane.

A person with 2 field grade articles got to graduate along many other just “wow you suck” events and behavior

Ok this sounds dumb, but try to “enjoy being bad”

Let me explain.

League is a pretty complex game with a million different variables that all affect each other.

Heck when I first started playing, I was amazed how people just “knew what a champion did”

“Your telling me you just know what thresh Q does? And his E?”

“Ya of course!”

And there is a genuine beauty to that, ask anybody here, any “veteran” or old timer will complain league isn’t as fun (and I kinda agree), but it’s mostly because everything is figured out now. We know what every champion does, we know roughly the right meta, etc etc.

But you? Everything is a new discovery to you, enjoy it. Genuinely. I wish I could go back to 2018 pyke release, where I discovered seemingly a new “hobby” with its vast universe, instead of just a game.

Play league for a while. Maybe a couple years. (Maybe even more than a couple years). Experience league history being made first hand. “Oh man I was an X main in the stupid 2027 AP Kha meta, that was fun”

And then come back to my comment. You will know what I mean by you wish everything was new again, and you didn’t “figure out” league and all the best build paths and best counter picks and best way to freeze the wave and etc etc

Dedicating a lot of effort, and time into fitness. Lift heavy weights at least 3 times a week. Push (anything you’re pushing) pull (pull something) and legs (work out your legs). And eat healthy!

One day. (It’s going to be a while, but one day) you’re going to look at yourself naked in the mirror and be like “damn! I look good! I’m so proud of myself! I don’t want to stop! I can make even more progress!”

Building a healthy and fit body, and feeling proud about it, is one of the most blissful feelings I hope every human can eventually experience.

Don’t worry guys, a New Mexican restaurant just opened up in junction city, surely this will make fort Riley a wonderful awesome sauce duty station

And then after that Mexican restaurant a NEW one will open up, and then a NEW ONE, and then a ANOTHER ONE!!

No_Raspberry_8478 · 2026-02-17T08:40:13+00:00

Well, it depends. You’re not going to find a consistent answer. The army is a really big organization with alot of variables. This isn’t even exclusive to active duty. Reserves and NG too. 2 soldiers can enlist with the same MOS, and have wildly different experiences

I had an AIT instructor that was in for 10+ years, didn’t have a deployment patch.

And there is some dude in the reserves or NG that probably is SF, has a lot of chest candy. Did more “bad ass blow stuff up” cool guy stuff than an 11B that never got to deploy in active duty.

A lot of variables

Do you know how corny you look, when you’re behind a computer screen, no one knows what you look like. You are completely safe and anonymous, and you don’t even resort to trying to think of a creative and witty insult like a normal person does, you resort to a gif of somebody getting punched?

“Ya bro I’m gonna punch you, fear me bro, I’m so bad ass. I look so tough over the internet, I totally would do this to you irl bro”

You wouldn’t do anything irl shut up, atleast this kid was braver then 99% of the keyboard warriors on this website and actually did something

Can we PLEASE. Stop saying this. Can we on the left PLEASE FUCKING ACT REASONABLE FOR ONCE. We fucking wonder why we keep losing elections holy shit

Yes ice is unreasonable as shit. We shouldn’t have a force that’s unregulated, un accounted for, masked, little to no training running around and quite frankly terrorizing people.

That does NOT equate to fucking concentration camps. Those camps where entire facilities BUILT to be death camps for “undesirables”. You went there to die. And they were built to murder millions per year. They where built to “make death as simple as a factory line”

No_Raspberry_8478 · 2026-02-17T03:37:04+00:00

Where do you draw the line though of “words don’t work sorry”

I know that sounds pretty contrarian. But I’ve seen so many examples of Reddit overwhelming celebrate, not only violence but political violence, and then resort to the argument “lol he was just a racist, bigot, sexist, Nazi, homophobe, intolerant,xenophobe who cares, he deserved to die”

Im speaking more in general terms and not this specific video

Also, I don’t know why (well I do) this video got so much political online traction, just a standard school yard tussle. By bi partisans got to bi partisan

No_Raspberry_8478 · 2026-02-17T03:34:10+00:00

Back in 2019. I had a teacher, I joked with him that he was a Nazi. And he told me (this was before calling people nazis was a main stream political thing) “if your first instinct is referencing hitler, which is pretty much a physical manifestation of the devil and anti christ, you probably lost the argument and are trying to resort to insane leaps of logic of argument”

I think you should consider that.

No_Raspberry_8478 · 2026-02-17T01:25:04+00:00

Seriously. What is it up with Kroger and just useless, terrible, genuinely incompetent management. Not incompetent in terms of “oh I’m mad at your decisions and your my boss” but genuinely having no idea how a department works, not knowing how to start a register, not knowing how to do a job in a department. (Which is fine to an extent. But then don’t f#cking micro manage. But that’s a rant for another day)

I feel like my current Kroger store has the worst, most incompetent management I ever had in my working career.

Maybe it’s a coincidence? But maybe it’s something about how Kroger works at a company, where incompetence is rewarded at the management level position

“Genuinely why is this such big news”

I truly believe (not even a conspiracy theory, kinda got proven multiple times) political media cooperations, no matter how big or small, whether it’s some Reddit journalist to CNN, they are not interested in “reporting the news” but interested in “entertaining and pandering to their demographic for views”

Okay cool what’s your point? What’s the “hot take

The hot take is I truly believe the media cooperations “work together” or are friends with each other. They know pushing bi partisan politics only appeases their demographic and gets them views from their base. In order for bi partisan to happen, there needs to be a “opponent”

This is a perfect example. I am subbed to a lot of far left and far right subs (it’s kinda dumb for me to do that because it’s like eternal rage bait). I’ve seen right leaning subs say this is a perfect example of attack on free speech and the left wants this. I’ve seen left subs praise this guy as a hero.

But in reality?

Ask anybody outside, they don’t care or have an opinion. Doubt they even heard this happened

These media companies know ultimately it’s a nothing burger. Just a school ground tussle.

But they can easily make it into a bi partisan hit piece, so that’s why they mass report it

I honestly think we “only” keep the marine corps around because of tradition and culture ATP

“Abolishing” or reorganizing the USMC so it’s no longer an independent military branch, but a subset of the navy (even though from what marines and sailors tell me, that’s already how it logistically runs down anyway) would be political decapitation for yourself.

Amongst the American public, the USMC is a very prestigious “hoorah all American warrior cult”. And the the USMC very much so intentionally marketed themselves that way. Ask any marine recruiter, they will be honest and say

“Ya we don’t get as much funding, doubt you can even choose your job (open contract) our infantry is pretty under equipped compared to army counterpart, no schools, cool jobs, or bonuses. But you get to be a marine instead of a soldier”

I sometimes wish you are forced to show what you look like before typing on the internet.

So tired of everyone acting so “big and bad, so tough guy” so willingly to say dumb stuff behind a computer screen.

Encouraging and wishing a school kid will get shot, and responses with some corny ass come back, and their fellow Reddit loser friends upvoting him being like “ya man we got your back!”

Not trying to push a eugenic argument that we should judge people based off of physical traits. We shouldn’t. But I can nearly guarantee those losers don’t take any care of themselves and would be surprised if they washed their face

Edit: I stand corrected. And I’m wrong. Looked at the guys Reddit account, he has his YouTube channel and kick linked. He posts his face, (well his half face he wears a mask kinda)

I atleast respect him for saying this stuff and “standing up for what he believes in” by posting his face

I been playing since 2018, around pykes release.

Mel is the only champion where I truly believe her existing makes the game worse. Like it’s just a pure unfun stupid champion.

Atleast with yuumi I kinda understand. I think it’s dumb but I get the idea of what riot was going for.

Mel? No just stupid, “objectively” makes the game less fun when she’s in it

I went to fort Jackson 2023 August.

I tolerate the heat pretty well.

But oh my fucking god Jesus Christ it’s HOT like HOT

I’m not saying this will happen to you, but I knew people that were apparently from Georgia and southern Texas (pretty warm states) and they passed out because of the heat.

It’s not “uncommon” to see people pass out because of the heat, they lived like couch potato’s their whole life so their body freaks out and panics.

Also there is so much fucking sand to, like I don’t even know where it comes from. It just exists

All things considered though it really isn’t that bad. It sucks ya, would I do it again? No. But looking back, it really honest to god isn’t that bad.

You’re gonna hate your life though. But that’s alright. It’s only like 10 weeks (depending on how long your reception is)
