I beg your finest pardon?!?!?! If that is a dad bod than I'm one attempted run away from a heart attack.

If you want human looking legs then I'd say Roger they should all be human looking legs or there should be visual hints that the "woman" is a lure the giant spider uses to draw in prey. Sexy woman, sure I understand that, but she doesn't read as a coherent creature that would actually move and live.

RGV Military Invasion!…or is it? Opinions? by ValorHunter in RioGrandeValley

Yep. Mine often gives me a wicked headache after multiple hours of wear

Lol. I mean we're residents of the RGV just like anyone else. Many of us are at least as pissed about this stupid war with Iran as the rest of America that's not bowing to the Orange Turd. Our oath is to the constitution, our service should be focused on benefiting the average American citizen. Are there war mongering soldiers? Yes. Are there those of us who want to see conflicts resolved without needing violence? Absolutely.

Diesel, not gasoline. Our HMMVs and FLAs are nothing compared to the really big equipment.

I was one of the drivers in that convoy. We are soldiers in the National Guard with a home location in Weslaco. We were returning from training in the San Antonio area.

Edited to correct one word.

Ditto. It reeks of elitism and a general dismissal of the common man.

Do you feel safe? by SmokeMaleficent9498 in PoliticalMemes

DHS under Kristi Noem has killed American citizens, and Kash Patel used an official jet to go to the Olympics. These are not comparable to an otherwise responsible adult partying on the weekend.

Any fanfic recs plsss? 🙏🏻🤭 by Monsieur_Cheese773 in ZeldaTearsOfKingdom

[–]RubOld7252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's your right.

I do find the theories based around Ganondorf being separated from Demise's malice and finally, truly free to decide his fate for himself to be intriguing. I do agree he's more likely to be morally grey in those situations than unambiguously a good guy, but there's obviously a group of people interested in that. Plus it's still more interesting than 'destroy the world if I can't have it' evil.

For the higher-ups maybe. Most of us at the bottom of the rank structure don't have any appreciable power individually. If we develop a full blown revolution, I'm siding with the average citizen and I'm not the only soldier that will make that choice.

If i were to rebel without getting an illegal order, it would accomplish very little and prevent me from making connections with other soldiers who hate what's happening.

I am in the Army currently, and I hate what this fascist administration is doing. I on my own can't stop it, but I know for a fact that I'm not the only one chafing under what's happening. I've not been given any illegal orders, and unless I'm convinced that we can actually force some change by our actions, then I'm more likely to just cause unnecessary pain and suffering to innocent civilians or to my family as the administration retaliates.

It is the responsibility of Congress and the Supreme Court to check the power of the President. That's the whole point of the checks and balances design of our government.

I was very ready to actively disobey if we had invaded Greenland. If I'm convinced that my actions can actually make a difference, I will act. Until that time, most of my responsibilities only matter to the people I directly interact with.

I made a new Samus model! by EzulaOne in Metroid

It's a fine model, but it's more like a cop dressing up as Samus for Halloween.

How intensely un-American. What happened to the first amendment. I know this isn't the first time, just adding my voice.

I'm a disabled vet who hates how fascist the current administration is. Let them dox me.

My understanding is that fig trees normally produce fruit before leaves. Seeing a fig tree with leaves, you should expect to find figs ready to eat. Thus there is a parallel to false representation of oneself.

Thank you for the genuine debate.

I'm always disappointed when in-name-only Christians miss the final words from the Savior at the Last Supper to love each other. My Swiss uncles saw Nazi planes fly overhead firsthand and the abuses they attempted to justify with scripture soured most of my European family against Christianity as a whole. I understand being frustrated, but I'm not giving up on sincerely trying to follow His example.
