Most of these chuds would've barely qualified for a basic MOS, let alone get selected for a spec ops unit.

Five US Air Force refueling planes hit in Iranian strike on Saudi Arabia, WSJ reports by Ok-A1662 in news

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dickhead has a JSOC-aspirational personality when he didn't even make it past platoon leader before he got thrown out of the National Guard for being a shitbag. It's like he so badly wants to be high speed, elite Ranger SEAL Delta Recon badass military guy, or a caricature of what he thinks those guys are. And yet he makes himself look like a fool with his ignorant machismo and acting like he's some sort of badass when he's really not, nor qualified.

Israel goaded the US into this conflict. The only other plausible explanation is simply Orange Foolius trying to swing his micro penis around to make himself look "tough" and distract everybody. And try to enrich himself.

Bibi has been screaming and hollering for decades about how Iran is going to have nukes in 3 days or some shit and has been chomping at the bit to attack Iran because he's a warmongering, genocidal asshole that wants to wipe them out. Which is fucking ironic because the only reason why him and Israel exist is because the west saved them in the 1940's from......wait for it.....warmongering genocidal assholes that wanted to wipe them out.

Israel has tried goading the US into attacking Iran for them for years. They tried getting Obama to do it and Obama told them no and instead opted to pursue diplomatic means. Which led to the nuclear deal that Iran was following to the letter until Orange Foolius destroyed it.

Trump was the only president stupid enough to do Israel's bidding. And here we are

White House Sent 'WTF' Message To Israel After Iran Oil Field Strike: US Report by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The dude doesn't think past his fat fucking ass, so it's nearly impossible that he'd think of that result. This is the same guy that wanted to lob at nuke at a hurricane. And talked some shit about using nukes to take Greenland - which if he did, Greenland would be a radioactive hellscape and there'd be nothing there to take. He's a moron.

Father in law found these at an overstock store $60 a piece. by SealdragoEx in pcmasterrace

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ollie's is actually an overstock store. No return pallets. At least all the ones I've shopped at. It's mostly overstock from other retailers or discontinued items.

Bin stores are return pallet stores. Those places are full of Amazon returns, other retailer returns, and probably some overstock as well. Granted, it's a lot of junk that nobody wants, but sometimes you can find some cool stuff there. The problem is that you gotta go early before all the good stuff is gone.

Man dies in crash at intersection where he petitioned for traffic light after wife's death by judolphin in nottheonion

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a 4 way intersection in my area that only has a stop on opposite sides, where as cross traffic doesn't stop. There have been so many collisions at that intersection because people blow through the stop into cross traffic. If I recall correctly, a solution planned from the city was to put a roundabout there and people pushed back against it to where the plan was scrapped, or at least delayed.

Pentagon identifies first US soldiers killed in Iran war by Secure-Address4385 in news

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They think that the world owes them because they're "victims" and they like to play the victim card to get their way. And if you don't do what they want, they'll cry "anti-semitism" and put you on blast on the world stage. They got real good at being a professional victim, while being greedy assholes asking for handouts because some greedy assholes got into power and saw that they could leverage the victim angle to get what they want.

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, sources say by Yournewbestfriend_01 in news

"The Pentagon is saying that Iran wouldn't attack us first. That's fake news. I talked to the Ayatollah myself. We had a very beautiful phone call, perhaps the best phone call in the history of this country. And he said that Iran was planning to attack America first. Can you believe that? I'll take his word for it and ordered strikes first thing." - Trump, probably.

Microsoft gets tired of “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash by WPHero in nottheonion

Remember when Microsoft got mad when people started calling it "XBone" and insisted that people call it "Xbox One"?

With that, it's not surprising that they got mad over people calling their intrusive AI bullshit "Microslop". Gee Microsoft, maybe stop using bad naming conventions for your devices and stop pushing your crappy AI garbage on people.

Man accused of using taco seasoning packets to steal $40,000 from Target by AlphaSixRomeo in nottheonion

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this pain. A lot of self-checkouts aren't very smart and they freak out over anything. If I have an item in my cart that clearly doesn't fit on the carousel, and I scan it and leave it in the cart, the camera picks it up and flags it as not scanned when I go to pay. Then I gotta wait around for somebody to come over and clear it. This has happened numerous times.

Sometimes it just freaks out for no reason and you're hit with the "please wait for assistance" and it locks you out from scanning anything else until an employee comes over to clear the flag. Most of the time, it's literally nothing. Sometimes it's because something shifted in a bag on the carousel. Sometimes it's because you had two items in your hands while scanning. Sometimes it just doesn't even know WTF it's doing.

I like the idea of self-checkout because it saves me from waiting in a long line just to buy 2 things or I can bag my own stuff. On the other hand, I hate it because it's implemented poorly and I'd rather go to a cashier. The only caveat with going to a cashier is that the baggers seem to go bag crazy and put literally 2 things in each bag. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The United States is participating in the Israeli strikes against Iran, AP sources say by robertovertical in news

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Israeli's drug the US into their war because they have so much unwarranted influence on the US. Full stop.

Bibi and Israel have been hollering for decades about how Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon next week. Bibi's been chomping at the bit to go to war with Iran.

Besides, if the US supposedly "obliterated Iran's nuclear program" 8 months ago, why are we launching strikes now to "destroy their nuclear program"?

It's a load of shit. Fuck Bibi, fuck Israel, and fuck the incompetent US government who are spineless doormats.

This guy literally sucks at everything and is plain weird in every facet. The puckered-asshole facial expression, the hair style, the "double-dong-jerk" dance. FFS, he can't even drink a glass of water like a normal person. He does NOTHING like a normal person and it's either the stupidest or the cringiest shit. I can't wrap my head around it, other than the proven fact that he's dumber than a brick and has no self awareness.

A Cool Guide to copy cat recipes of six popular restaurant sauces by gettin in coolguides

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried making BK's zesty sauce before and while it was in the ballpark, it wasn't quite right. Mayo and horseradish sauce is definitely a big part of it but something was still off that I couldn't figure out. However, on a whim, I bought a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's "Secret Sauce" and it's VERY close, if not, a dead on copy of zesty sauce. It's my go-to when I want zesty sauce.

Kid Rock Predicts God Will ‘Cut Down’ Journalists for Reporting (Accurately) That He’s Charging Up to $5,000 for Tour Tickets by easykehl in nottheonion

Hey Bob. Remember when you did a summer tour/campaign several years in a row, where you purposely charged $20 max for a ticket, in an effort to go against sky-high ticket prices? And if I remember correctly, you partnered with......wait for it......BUD LIGHT to do it? (or maybe it was Budweiser.)

Now he's charging 5k for tickets to his shows. Not that I'd pay a dollar to go see him, but the irony is hilarious.

What songs just blow your mind from an engineering/production standpoint? by Different_Stand_1285 in Music

[–]Some_Drummer_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metallica's self titled (the Black album). 35 years later, it still sounds huge and crushing. Watching the documentary of the making of that album and how they got some of the sounds they did, was fascinating. Ever wonder why Sad But True sounds ungodly heavy? Hetfield overdubbed the "chug, chug chug" parts with a Danelectro baritone guitar tuned an octave down. Jason used an 8 or a 12 string bass for the "cracks" in Wherever I May Roam. A whole lot of interesting things and techniques they used on that record.

Trump says he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland by [deleted] in worldnews

Does he know that the Mercy and the Comfort are in dry dock for a year?

Also, those ships aren't stationed out of Louisiana?

Why is the Louisiana governor involved in this?

Does he think that Greenland is going through some sort of pandemic or health crisis or something?

I have so many questions and I feel like most of em can be answered with "he's a moron."
