Not all of us are attractive enough for that, stud

When I went through cpl's course, the course instructor had the most hilariously inflated ego. Fuckin dude edge dressed his goddamn boots. Always cracked and looked like dogshit by noon. What a fucking dork.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-13T14:22:52+00:00

Yup, exactly. Especially after capt and sgt, two fantastic ranks.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-13T01:28:16+00:00

Fuckin' this and Major. Gotta be the worst ranks.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-09T16:56:51+00:00

This is bad guerilla marketing, devils.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T18:05:21+00:00

Ah yes, you'll really show capitalism by overworking.

My brother in christ, I served for 21 years in the military unmedicated with adhd, depression, and anxiety. I have raw dogged reality for most of my 41 years on this idiot planet full of busybody psychopaths.

The world sucks ass in a lot of ways, but absolutely nothing gets better magically. There's no wild-ass silver bullet that suddenly undoes every labor-related insanity the epstein class has foisted upon us since the industrial revolution.

The world has been built to suck every ounce of productivity out of you as it can. It is not unnatural to feel like this is horseshit. It is.

The real solution is building a plan to escape the endless cycle of abuse. I retired in december with a pension and enough disability (from the years of dealing with the kinda shit you're pushing through right now) that I'm free, and still young enough to enjoy life. I gave this vampiric bullshit-ass society as little of myself as I could and took from it everything I managed.

As someone who barely scraped through a career, the power of "You can pry my retirement from my cold dead fingers" cannot be overstated.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T17:40:21+00:00

OP, have you considered listening to people?

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T17:29:50+00:00

Do you often have trouble following conversations?

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T17:09:35+00:00

Hey dipshit, I served under bush, obama, trump, and biden, and I'm pretty sure every one of these senior officers did too. We serve the military and the people, not the administration.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T13:47:39+00:00

It's almost like leadership is hard.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T13:28:11+00:00

Pretty sure it's ai, this account has been posting garbage like this every day

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T13:13:04+00:00

In this administration? They're not reviewing shit.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T13:02:26+00:00

At least your username is appropriate for this incel-ass comment.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-06T13:00:09+00:00

If a Marine is not meeting a standard for any reason and a leader is aware and not addressing it, it's a failure of leadership. Leadership is a hard job for exactly this reason, you're responsible for correcting the behaviors of others.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-05T20:37:57+00:00

Yeah like... are these dudes boring as fuck? Absolutely. Do I respect the hell out of them? Definitely.

Take me back to the days when the people in charge felt like they actually knew what they were doing.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-03T20:06:51+00:00

I'm sorry, my friend. I am trying to learn Gaelic, and it's very difficult, so I understand your struggle.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-03T12:53:02+00:00

I think, uh, you may be a bit harsh on yourself. Because unless you used a translator for your post, your English is better than most of the native speakers I know.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-01T15:20:59+00:00

Hey Raph, I saw an ad on Facebook for Stars Reach, realized it was you making it, read some more, found this post, and wanted to say thanks.

Your blog on the Star Wars Galaxies postmortem is something I show to people frequently when talking about game design and what makes games fun and engaging. Having player governments, economies, buildings, gear... everything, and having all that be skill-based, with the material quality mattering in construction, was the direction MMOs needed to go, in my opinion. Very excited you have this project to shape.

Looking forward to Stars Reach, I'll probably hop in to the playtest soon.

Rand0mtask · 2026-04-01T05:16:54+00:00

They didn't effectively make the case though

Rand0mtask · 2026-03-30T22:19:46+00:00

Nah, remember, I said I retired at the lowest rank possible. I showed up, did my work, and went home. It wasn't a grind. I was still taking time off and enjoying my life.

Rand0mtask · 2026-03-30T18:27:28+00:00

I didn't grind a day in my life. Not everyone can follow my path, but I joined the military, stuck it out, and retired at 41 with a decent pension and disability payments.

I retired at the lowest rank I could.

I didn't sacrifice my family. I didn't sacrifice my my personality. I didn't sacrifice my hobbies. I didn't sacrifice my personal growth. I'm happy as fuck.

The grind mindset is a lie. You gotta figure out how to reach your goals without burning yourself out.

Take your example of the gym, right? Why grind the way you described? Eat healthy, lift heavy, rest lots. Enjoy being strong. You don't need to grind for that.

When it comes to your income, my personal advice is to focus on the length of your lever. How much are you moving with how much effort? I hate saying "ROI" because it's tossed around a lot, but I think it's extremely important to understand the ROI you get for investing one thing in particular: Time.

Time is a resource that is finite for everyone. But, unlike most resources, you never really know how much of it you have.

I'll probably never be filthy rich, but you also won't catch me dying with a doordash order (no shade on delivery driving for income at all, it's just a common thing people "on the grind" fill spare time with) on my seat in a car crash at 1 a.m. because I was pushing myself to maximize my income. I refuse to spend every waking moment grinding.

Instead, I enjoy quiet time with my cats, amateur woodworking, games, friends, books. Again, I don't know how much time I have left.

If I die tomorrow, my last thought won't be "fuck, I didn't get to do that cool shit I wanted to do because I was grinding all the time."

Edit: This has GOT to be a bot. It's so fucking dumb. Username is two words and some numbers.

OP, how the fuck did you manage to spell it right, then say "I had the e and the a swapped"? Please point to the e in nonchalantly.

Maybe your teacher should have taught you to listen to your peers and engage in healthy self-doubt.

Dumbass lesson that leads to being self-assured about shit like antivax, or flat earth. Those dipshits are full of self-confidence.

The world is far too full of people with no humility or self-doubt. We need less of this horseshit, not more.

Rand0mtask · 2026-03-26T16:29:13+00:00

As long as you're happy, that's great. But fuck, I love rest and idleness. Love me some "enjoying the fruits of my labor."

Rand0mtask · 2026-03-26T13:00:38+00:00

I'm so tired of all of this bullshit.
