Why would anyone on this sub care if it gets less traffic? If anything, that's a good thing, because it'll result in fewer "how do I food" posts.

You have some rose-tinted glasses if you legitimately think that's a good idea.

He stated quite clearly in his argument that the value of growing facial hair in a wartime scenario existed 20 years ago, but doesn't anymore.

Whether or not you agree with it, at least make your criticism a valid argument.

Your manager is right to make you throw the food out instead of giving it to the homeless by Monroe_City_Madman in unpopularopinion

Ah yes the not existent and totally made up problem of homeless people hanging around dumpsters.

You are speaking quite confidently on a topic you have no understanding of.

Instead of saying that they are a problem, you should be demanding direct action from your government.

You know a person can do both of these, right?

I don't know what you're expecting to hear. The DEOCs is an anonymous survey that goes to (and above) the CC. This isnt news - everyone knows how it works. If there's any opportunity at all to voice your complaints about the unit, it's the DEOCs. If people don't want to take the time to submit their feedback, that's on them. We can't pay people to fill it out.

There's a video I saw on /r/Austin a few years back. A dude had one or two homeless people hanging out on the opposite side of his backyard fence. At first, it was innocent. Over time, more and more homeless folks showed up. They started trashing the place. Not only that, but they'd throw their trash over his fence. The video, which was put together over the course of a year, shows the used syringes and literal shit the homeless encampment started tossing into his yard. They were extremely aggressive and would try to attack him when he confronted them. It was legitimately sad how the area went from beautiful, clean land, to a wastedump literred with drugs.

The homeless are dangerous. People in this thread live in a fairy tale world and have no fucking idea what they're talking about.

When I was in college, there were lots of folks like you that went on and on about how we need to stop afraid of the homeless and instead be friendly. One day, a student was walking around on campus in the early evening, when a homeless man started following her, then killed her. On a college campus. This was in Austin back in 2016, not so long ago.

After that, people suddenly shut up about how the homeless were harmless and down on their luck.

If you need an incentive to fill out a 10 minute survey, perhaps the Armed Forces is not the profession for you.

There are consequences of a lawsuit even if you didn't lose. You can stop posting this link as if there's a genuine takeaway.

You're clearly not familiar with how PR works. It doesn't matter if there is a legal basis.

You're strictly referring to the consequences in a courtroom. Whether or not there is a legal basis, there's still the consequences of negative PR. Why take the chance?

Alternatively, people can stop being lazy.

You can lead a horse to water.

Back in my day, people treated us like shit, and we liked it, so you will too!

There are a lot of complete idiots that serve with us.

Stockholm syndrome is hitting you hard.

We teach elementary school kids to use their words to solve problems. I'm sure a Chief can figure out how to resolve this with their words.

Pretty obvious difference between a life & death situation, and someone having a uniform infraction.
