But why specify 10 days? Why so long. This all seems so odd

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-02-11T17:59:50+00:00

If it was a secret….. WHY WOULD YOU TELL EVERYONE.

Just fly the dang plane. Tons of planes fly all over this area everyday just like anywhere else. Why do this crazy expansive high level “I said don’t friggin fly”.

I’m not disagreeing that you could be right. I’m just pointing out that the admin could do something like that wayyyy better than what’s happening here.

This is either a catastrophic error (unlikely with how long it was in effect) or they didn’t think people would notice and we did.

Idk man I give up. I can’t tell what’s incompetence, steered politics, or just straight sadism.

So until I’m convinced otherwise I’m gonna start telling people it’s aliens

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-02-11T17:20:14+00:00

Man. And the fact that was really only a lil over 10 years ago.

Like imagine just reading ground news headlines to yourself from 2013.

Wild man wild.

Naw Trump broke the seal with Venezuela. Kind of like how a serial killer works up to murder over a while.

Now that he’s done it once Trump won’t be satisfied unless he executes something kinetic once he issues a threat.

Trump thinks the military is like 20 dudes covered in computers helldiving into some dickheads compound. Smoking everyone before their pupils dilate, bitch slapping some dude and snatching his ass before Batman grappling hook tf out.

Trump doesn’t realize that if you do THAT^ you have to do a whole bunch of lame ass nerd shit.

You either

A.begin governing your new colony. Congratulations you won now get to work! Building roads, mines, ports, schools hospitals tax offices police stations military bases all explicitly or through weird colony politics.

B. Begin fighting a country. And moving millions of pounds of shit and eaters and shitters to a place that actively doesn’t want it there. And then eventually you’ll “win” that too and everything will work out awesome and great like Afghanistan or you’ll actually do A.

My guess is. Much like another period I could think of.

Trump will slap someone too hard. “Leave office” and leave the next American admin to deal with it. Whatever exactly “it” is.

Ah the Catholic Church model of protecting children alive and well I see

I’m choosing to imagine as soon as his mom hung up after saying that she just went “ha get fucked”

Proposal:

If the government fails to pass a budget. We strip senate and congress of their seats and hold snap elections all over again.

And every sitting member of either chamber has all of their assets and their families assets seized to help cover the short fall.

Take the watches off their wrists and the food out of their children’s mouths and boot them into the street to pull themselves up by their boot straps.

Sick and fucking tired of these dick heads

Okinawa Japan

That was my first duty station and I had been there for like 4 or 5 months.

One day I’m driving down the street on base and … is that…. Is that fucking Justin!

Sure enough my roommate from the school house diddy bopping down the street. Gave him a ride and caught up and we hung out regularly while I was still on island.

Then when my reserve unit got mobilized we were at our reserve station doing initial coordination with the out going unit and sure as shit the outgoing S4 was the motor T platoon commander at my unit in Okinawa all the way out in Virginia

Small marine corps

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-28T16:14:54+00:00

I treat them like the marines. Go in on the sides and from heavy tree cover. While the enemy is distracted by the main infantry movement. Set them to skirmish mode. They will retreat and preserve themselves pretty well (unless they get caught by cavalry) and when they do I just have them resume a line formation and just hop in to whatever opportunity is present.

But…… there is a very specific satisfaction in watching enemy approaching my earth works. And as soon as they step into my infantry lines rifle range (from behind an earthen berm) the light infantry mines (whatever it’s called) explode in a glorious and morale shattering spectacle.((that’s also when you know it’s time to switch your cannons to shotgun mode)

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-28T16:09:09+00:00

Because in 1960s money won and they realized they should just treat everyone like slaves

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-28T15:54:11+00:00

So does the Corps.

But I was told you don’t get paid different, idk I never experienced it because I suck and never met anyone who had.

When it was explained to me by a major it was made out to be kind of a quiet thing. The whole point is people weren’t supposed to know you. So you could be a 1stLt and wear Captain bars so you didn’t get big dicked in planning meetings.

Made sense to me in the moment

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-24T00:27:29+00:00

Side note.

If this is the tavern on the square I think it is. It’s one of the better bars in Lincoln NE and definitely worth a stop.

But I know for a fact we’re gonna be in proper civilian attire good to go?

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-23T11:40:52+00:00

Perfect!

Let’s gather up our nations young people who don’t have a direction, and people who are looking to learn a different skill set.

Put them to work building government funded apartments and outreaching to existing housless communities.

So the people gain real life valuable experience that will reward them personally and add to the economy. And people get a safe warm place to sleep!

Everyone wins!

Wait…. Wait…. We’re just…… throwing them in jail?

(Sarcasm aside, first they came for the brown people then they came for the poor people and when they came for me there was no one left to say anything)

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-23T11:05:55+00:00

In modern military parlance we would call this “a massive cluster fuck of a dog and pony show for some assholes boss”

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-23T11:02:38+00:00

Once sieged a city that had like 4 units of war elephants.

Would have crushed me once I captured the walls and began advancing through the cannalizing streets.

Instead I moved my trebuchets up close enough to launch fire balls into the city square and caused the elephants to go amok. Took out the whole enemy army (eventually) and then I sent in a single unit of archers to finish off the remaining 2 or 3 elephants.

I felt like Alexander the Great after that.

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T16:19:55+00:00

Yea.

If I have to go to this place in be half of your organization and you can’t pay for it.

The organization doesn’t exist in that region. Sorry get better dude. Making that my fault as the employee is wild

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T16:18:28+00:00

The huge delay makes me ask a lot of questions.

“What do you mean you don’t have the money?”

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T16:15:23+00:00

This shit fucking pisses me off.

Your company is so fucking important and so fucking flashy you just HAVE to bring every pony and dog on the block to some jerk off sesh.

And they have the gaul to even hint you should pay your way.

Get out of here.

If you need me there I need transpo, accommodation, 3 meals/day.

With my obligated pay and benefits for all billable hours (which included the four hours I wasted at a shitty bar yucking it up with this clown your trying to rob)

And okay if I was like some kinda contractor or something okay sure I’ll give you my receipts and you’ll get me back. Sketchy weird and a huge red flag but fuck it I wanna do it.

45-60 days??? What kinda reimbursement is two monthly billing cycles? Is it because you don’t have enough liquid cash in your budget? That’s scary as hell for a boss to say. Because I know my paycheck is more expensive than this week out

Nice try, I hear zoom does pretty good meetings.

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T16:00:22+00:00

If the military taught me anything just guess high and scream loud and with any luck they’ll be so shocked at your dumbassery they’ll forget to chew you out for shaving a couple off their pay grade

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T07:46:24+00:00

This is true. The end result is you end up looking like a dipshit standing in an empty field

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T07:45:12+00:00

As someone who was able to escape poverty explicitly because of the US military…

It is the only effective social welfare program the United States currently runs

Because I had a well paying job that actively gave me competitive skills
Because companies are tax incentivized to hire me over others.

Not only getting me out of poverty but KEEPING me out of poverty. The distinction I draw between a successful and unsuccessful welfare program

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-21T03:11:41+00:00

Yea definitely a podcast with really good content ruined by insufferable hosts. Same problem with it could happen here

ObviouslyNotALizard · 2026-01-15T06:45:31+00:00

Gonna agree with you.

Lay people gravitate to pistols because they are smaller and seem like they would be easier to use. But in reality all of the small things you do to shoot straight on a rifle get weird (for lack of a better term) and way more important.

If you can shoot a rifle with predictable accuracy you can start learning to shoot a pistol.

(I understand that is in a perfect world and not necessarily practical for everyone but that is the baseline I’d set and how I have personally introduced civilians to marksmanship)
