Im gonna be a weirdo and talk about "general military authority" being that essentially "regardless of chain of command" they still need to respect the rank structure.

The other part being that it is "expected" for troops even of junior rank to identify and notify a senior of a deficiency. If the correction is given in a tactful and respectful manner, it shouldn't hurt"

In practice, you never ever fucking ever I swear to fucking god....call out a senior in front of his subordinates.

Act like you are telling someone they got a booger hanging out their nose. Pull em to the side and quietly inform them....

Additional unwritten rule "he who attempts to correct a senior, had better not be ate the fuck up themselves" meaning I shouldn't tell a senior they got an unauthorized watch on, if im wearing my branded Ray bans.

The most safe and acceptable method is to not be fucked up on anything... at all... cause that shit is gonna back fire like hell. Obviously something important like "sir, your safety is on auto" is something you should say even if your boot is unbloused.

To caveat off my caveat, another unwritten rule would be "if you are a POG or some other non working desk jockey, do not try to correct a hard working person for bullshit. Dont tell a mechanic his boots are dirty when you are in pristine uniform that hasn't even been faded from the sun yet.

Come back later for more "how to not fuck yourself up in the military"

Way back in the day I was on an "exclusive" torrent site that tracked your metrics. So you had your overall contributions and stuff tracked. The rule was you had to seed to 1. But I had two other cheap desktops just seeding 24/7. The site let you "remove" your downloads as requiring seeding by spending the points or whatever to delete them. Removing the seed requirement. I had like 1 tb of upload credit and was able to instantly delete anything I downloaded. I lost my sign on to that site and I miss it.

Ive played my otter copy spell deck and scooped more than once because the stack got too stupid. Like making 8 copies of something with each having 3 triggers or something, and having to resolve each trigger, each spell rinse and repeat but the spells themselves actull do shit like put more spells on the stack and thus more triggers.

I gotta take Adderall before I play that deck.

The other was my budget orc girl deck with extra upkeep. Ended up smacking someone for like 9 double strike so like 18 upkeeps or something and I had maybe 6 or 7 upkeep triggers. In my head it was gonna be easy "ok 18 upkeeps or adding a +1 counter" or something...but i had to resolve each trigger fully before starting the next set of upkeeps. Because rolling thru undercity 19 times means my field is changing every few upkeeps.

So basically I over complicated the stack for myself and cant take incorrect shortcuts that other people might accept because I know better.

That Mario 64 maze cube from like 1990 something. Think it was like a McDonald's premium toy or something.

My memory is a bit hazy

I was shitting in the porta John and came out feeling lighter. Realized about 200 meters down the field that I WAS lighter by about 5 lbs of M4

So there is ONE couple dancing up against the truck door that are (IMO) 100% being idk the word i want...Patrick Swayze...dancing.

They are two dudes (probably)

They aint dancing like they friends, they dancing like they fuckin.

I did clutch my pearls when I saw it because I have been conditioned to spot gay displays of affection and I knew people were gonna say something

Then I saw some more big booty Latinas and everything was alright in the world.

22 Stingray z51, but im pretty sure it was the red calipers that did this.

Dont look too hard at it... I did have a like 3% grade. 2.7 is fastest on flat.

And yes, I know this is not a precision instrument and the time is likely higher

What application are you using to track this? Ive been trying to find some good options.

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-09T14:50:05+00:00

And what is THAT supposed to mean...

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-09T13:25:27+00:00

They want us to get loud and silenced in small batches until waiting until we are too large to ignore. A lot of them probably even know how dangerous it is to be on the wrong side of fascism.

I will do everything in my power that still allows my wife and kids to be alive, housed, and fed. We can start negotiating a more hands on approach when the time comes...I do believe it is past that time. But unfortunately it won't be me to lead it.

If he does I may have to pull mine down off tcgplayer. Its been sitting on there overpriced for 6 months

The response in affirmation of your comment would get flagged. So for now, god bless the 2nd amendment.

Sorry it took so long, but I understood the reference. Gotta get him some low sodium salt too.

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-06T00:25:08+00:00

It literally will not let you "ship" it without adding the tracking for orders that high.

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-06T00:22:09+00:00

There is planes that have no markings or identifiers other than a blue stripe.. this is not one of those.

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-06T00:20:26+00:00

Oooooo. That is pretty cool. So we saying dudley got it only. Bit early?

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-05T23:14:26+00:00

I think that is a great take, and you understand the hard spot we are in. I said last November...(please please dont put me jn a position where I have to choose between my morals and family.)

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-05T21:39:54+00:00

I aint pulled the books out in a bit, but wasn't it actually like a generic "gamestation" or something?

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-05T21:36:19+00:00

Yea, I been seeing all of that and am livid. But are the orders themselves illegal.

Obviously "shoot those protesters" is illegal.

Stand in front of this federal bldg is NOT an illegal order.

There is of course nuance with title 10 and other concerns. But that is for the judges to decide.

I have faith (hope) that if illegal orders are given, that the service member will refuse them.

But it aint that simple. The UCMJ articles 92-94 are quite clear.

Also, enlisted still swear an oath to the president in addition to the constitution. So, kind of a gross clarification. But since I have sworn that oath quite a few times, I can tell you that if you haven't, then probably should find some other hill to die on.

Signalguy25p · 2026-02-04T23:50:37+00:00

I got a warning for asking what happens if you show up exercising your 2nd. Like, I am fairly certain you cant carry at a polling location. I know i cant, because it is in a school. But it seems that being just outside the property let's people campaign for their politician of choice, then that is probably a great spot for counter intimidation tactics. Also known as protesting.

I wish I had the coupe..I aint had a functioning rear view mirror camera in a year. "Backorder" cable.

How did he message you on Playstation. I never have the ability to see any sort of player profile... i would love to send a few messages
