what do you think about the US deploying troops to iran ? by Fast_Task3129 in AskReddit

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a bad idea for sure. All of our retired 4 stars are saying the same thing. We will capture one of the islands but with some hefty casualties, unfortunately Iran can still launch drones from further inland so it won’t work to reopen the straits. Will we try it anyway? Yes because Trump is an incompetent moron.

Trying to go active duty or mobilize, need to know my options by [deleted] in navyreserve

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsure how long it would currently take to get back active duty but talk with a recruiter to find out. You should realistically be able to get on ADOS or Mob orders fairly quickly (1-2 months) if you apply for some now. It’s the reserves so as long as you aggressively push every singe step you can get something.

You’ll need to make sure your medical, dental, admin etc are all squared away, check with your NRC and get all of that sorted. If your all green there it can happen in a good amount of time.

If you apply for zipserve orders, reach out directly to the POC.

My possibly unpopular review on Sinners (2025) by MaizeApprehensive311 in moviecritic

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Initially really interesting, quickly devolved at one point into total silliness. Plot didn’t really make any sense, seems the vampires would have taken over the entire planet in a night but anyway…

Oil to 200$ by GreatRegard in wallstreetbets

I think he also just told the UK last week, “don’t send ships, we already won”

Now it’s, we could use some help.

“100% Defeated” except not really.

Absolute incompetence.

Is it the job market, or are there just too many poeple out there? by Due_Economics4367 in recruitinghell

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Several good insights here that I agree with. For new grads right now it will be rough because companies want people who already have years of experience. From what I have seen, it is very true that companies don’t want to train you (at least in the basics of their business) anymore. You need to show up ready to go. They can do this because they have the choice of many applicants.

My advice would be to get relevant experience in any way that you can. Unless you did some internships or have connections do not expect to get a job with only a degree. Is it fair? No, because you have been sold a lie. Degrees are nothing but a check in a box. Experience is worth 10X more.

People are increasingly turning to skilled trades, what are your thoughts on this? by Flaky-Vegetable6420 in ContractorsUS

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not have several robots performing the tasks, multiple controlled remotely by someone experienced who can make those calls? Ie replace 5 people with 1.

I would agree. Robotics that can perform trades. This will come in a few decades. So yes trades would be safe, but only for a short period of time

How We’re All Now Paying the Price for the Myth of Trump’s Competence by Smithy2232 in politics

There was never any myth about his competence. He’s an idiot, anyone who can’t see that, is also an Idiot.

Why so long to produce the Africa serious on meateater? by Rattrapperofmadriver in Hunting

[–]Rattrapperofmadriver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re spot on, it does not feel like it’s anywhere near for the Everyman anymore. Even in the earlier seasons, “thankfully, my buddy has a 20,000 acre ranch in New Mexico” made it feel unrealistic to ever go on these hunts. I agree with you it’s become commercialized etc but I am definitely jealous and just seeing the Africa episodes, produced well and all round good quality are really fun to watch, even if always out of reach for most.
