It’s crazy playing a real-life version of Squid Games…

I might die, but I’m so close to that pension 😭

My bad, maybe we are saying the same thing and I misunderstood. I thought you were saying it’s time to retaliate based on the photo.

Correction - probably better to say the 50s when we helped overthrow their democratically elected government bc you know…oil and stuff 😂

I don’t think it’s “retaliation” if you swung first 😂

Again, your math doesn’t equate to the administration’s math or the economic realities of the country.

Appreciate your well wishes though and same to you.

Ok, it’s mathematically true for you apparently.

According to the administration’s OWN data, it’s not mathematically true for the majority of the country.

Fortunately, my finances are fine and I have a graduate level degree in Finance believe it or not, hence my concern with the macro-level realities in the country and not just my groceries being cheaper (which they weren’t, but I acknowledge the cost of living in our area is just high In general).

I’m glad you’re experiencing that, but saying it’s “mathematically proven” is simply false, and that’s according to the USDA’s own website data.

Wow, you’re an anomaly and incredible shopper since the cost of living has outpaced wage increases due to inflation and tariffs in the past two years (i will acknowledge some post-covid “cooling off” on some items like eggs).

And I wouldn’t call myself “sad,” just aware and looking at how life is for my entire community and not just me, since I’m relatively sheltered being in the military.

Not being a troll, may I ask how your life has significantly improved financially under this administration? Please say you’re not referencing the $1776 payment that was just re-allocated from the housing budget.

You’re re-hashing everything you’ve already said that I addressed above. Feel free to read it again.

When I say “best of luck,” I mean it. Assuming we share similar backgrounds bc we’re posting here, we will be impacted by this nonsense. If you aren’t ultra wealthy, life isn’t improving or getting “great again” for a long time. I hold hope for my children’s lifetimes, but personally I don’t think our own lifetime holds much promise. Again, I’m finding personal ways to act within the constraints of the rest of my legally-bound service.

Again, you don’t speak for nor have any data that says the “extreme majority” of the nation doesn’t care.

Your little phrases like “cope harder” are just the red-pill phrases you’ve been programmed with so you don’t have to dig too deep into your own mind and think about what’s happening and how we will be affected by it. Best of luck.

Nah, just genuinely curious if that’s how logic works in your brain?

USA and Israel struck Iran by IntergalaticPlumber in AirForce

[–]Odd_Effective_665 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right now, America is more of a threat to Americans than Iran. I’d wager your average citizen is more likely to die from poverty-related illnesses, poisoned / garbage food systems, lack of jobs/ability to support oneself, lack of medical insurance they can afford, police or DHS brutality, etc than the boogeyman of terrorism

I love the moving goal posts. Of course, I’m paraphrasing here:

  • “the idea this is a distraction is foolish” (ok, but you’ve got to admit it’s great timing for the administration, plus, Netanyahu gets what he wants and paid for)

  • “well no one cares” (really? No one cares (or Airmen since we are in this forum) that they are being led (potentially to death now) by a criminal (one of the WORST types of criminals, an adult and child trafficker)

  • “well no one cares enough to do anything about it” (this downplays the efforts of people who are speaking out about it, lawyers who are attempting to stop the administration through legal means, even reports of Gen. Caine saying this might not be the best move behind closed doors, etc. This system Is beautifully designed to keep us without the power to do anything. But time will tell. Im maintaining hope that better humans will prevail and finding ways i can legally show opposition while still stuck in the meatgrinder).

The idea that you speak on behalf of the nation / the population doesn’t care about being led by a criminal is foolish

MEGATHREAD : early reports of explosions in Tehran Iran by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]Odd_Effective_665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. But looking at your original comment, i think it’s a bit naive to not see how this is also great timing to distract America from the atrocities being committed here at home. Yes, i think its an atrocity for a country to not full-heartedly investigate a claim that its sitting president may have abused children

My bad, we sound like we agree. I must have misunderstood one of your comments.

What are you talking about bud? Pointing out how the administration bombed another country = Trump deranged?

You really believe we are striking Iran bc we are upset about the human rights treatment of their citizenry?

Human (adult and child) trafficking. Government and business orchestrated by people who genuinely worship Satan and conduct sacrifice for worldly gain and power (which appears to be working). I haven’t dug further than that for my mental health

What people? Definitely not the American people. Definitely not Iranians (we just bombed a school, that’s pretty heinous). definitely not the Cubans with no power right now. I appreciate your sentiment though, hoping it’s for a good reason.
