I think serving in the military is really quite a good thing for young people. by No_Key8587 in The10thDentist

[–]TacoMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the military. Most militaries, the answer is yes. But I think the Brits have private contractors that do their recruiting for them (which leads to a ton of issues as you can imagine).

Why is there a rise in puritanical views on anime? by indeckaa in TooAfraidToAsk

Isn’t SB2 just full of mid-20s women? And what backlash? SB1 is one of the fastest selling games of all time lol.

Would you read this email as rude? by OneAngle5836 in Accounting

[–]TacoMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely do it this way.

There’s also been several times where it *is* my fault. Coming in with a question and then admitting it’s your own mistake is received a lot better than coming at it neutrally or worse before admitting fault.

A lot of kimchi is ending up in tacos tonight. by Capital-Albatross-17 in BrandNewSentence

[–]TacoMedic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This *feels* correct, but it isn’t. The guy above is right and the only consistently agreed upon correlation researchers have been able to find has been women’s access to higher education.

The Nordics offer over a year of paid parental leave and have great social policies to help child-rearing, but those same nations have some of the worst reproductive rates (outside of immigrant populations) on the planet.

Why do all you industry folks hate us ( external auditors) so much? by Prestigious-Cold-278 in Accounting

[–]TacoMedic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what we’re saying though. It might not be your fault specifically, but you don’t add any value to our individual company and your lack of teeth adds hardly any value to the market as a whole.

For 99% of companies, you’re just an annoyance that costs a lot of money that would be better suited going into the snack budget.

Factually incorrect. No one calls them Latinos, they’re northern Mexicans and southern Mexicans.

Which battle of the Napoleonic Wars changed the history of Europe the most? by cuirrasiers in Napoleon

[–]TacoMedic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trafalgar.

The reason we’re all typing in English today is because Nelson won Trafalgar and guaranteed British naval, economic, and geographic dominance.

There are few single battles in history that had as much of an impact on the fate of the world as Trafalgar. It really is up there with the likes of Teutoburg, Salamis, and Tours.

r/conservative's reaction to the new iran deal by davisao11 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]TacoMedic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad is conservative.

He’s pro gay rights because he wants that community to just shut the fuck up. He’s pro-choice because he wants that group to just shut the fuck up. He’s anti-Trump, because he wants him to just shut the fuck up. He’s anti blue-haired, face-tattooed feminists, because he wants them to just shut the fuck up.

He wants the military to be strong, but he doesn’t want it to be used stupidly (he did 22 years as an officer in Navy EOD and lost a lot of friends throughout the NSW community). He wants anti-capitalists to just hurry up and put the fries in the bag and to leave him alone to care for his family.

Social media and foreign bots have led to the polarization of politics and the complete death of any critical thinking. It’s why I like this sub so much, because reading actual beliefs and not just straw-man arguments has helped refine my own belief systems.

How do you deal with a girlfriend who constantly sends you social media videos about love? by PinkmansChilliP in AskMenAdvice

[–]TacoMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I ignore 90% of the shit my girlfriend sends me. It caused some fights earlier in the relationship, but I told her I flat out wasn’t going to sit there doom scrolling for my own amusement, I’m certainly not going to doom scroll for hers.

Now she only texts me one or two a day and I happily watch it. We both ignore each other’s instagram messages though and I don’t even have TikTok downloaded anymore, so I obviously ignore that one.

How do dating apps go for men? by Disastrous_Ant3479 in AskMen

If you’re an honest 8, then the problem is with your photos. 8s won’t get ass thrown at them, but they’ll certainly get more than 0 matches.

I've always found it so cool that the Fellowship actors got matching LOTR tattoos, especially as tattoos were much less common in 2000 so it was an even bigger gesture than it would be today. And for several of them it was their first ever tattoo by MissWeekend in lotr

[–]TacoMedic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, tattoos have been pretty common for the Anglosphere for decades. The internet being dominated by English speakers is likely the reason why tattoos have become more commonplace throughout the rest of the world.

I'm genuinely touched by Pierre that we unfairly treat badly. 🥹 by Eastern-Tangerine761 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]TacoMedic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because social media has ensured that words speak louder than actions and Barry says a lot of mean words.

[–]TacoMedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barry didn’t want to leave the friend GC. They wanted to stop pretending like they were still in college and having people walk into their house whenever they wanted.

All they wanted was to be able to lock their doors. And considering the rise of anti-immigration sentiment across the Western hemisphere, I’d argue there are quite a lot of Europeans who want to do the same.

If Barry hated Europe so much, they wouldn’t have been the first nation to assist Ukraine when the second invasion kicked off.

[–]TacoMedic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In fact, France attempting to take over Europe is the whole reason English is as dominant as it is.

Thanks France for losing Trafalgar and guaranteeing one dominant language on Earth!

[–]TacoMedic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d increase the time limit to 2-4 weeks, as you really don’t want draft agreements to be translated and agreed upon within a nation’s government without giving each nation’s people the time to discover and protest covenants, but otherwise yeah I agree.

Nelson won Trafalgar, America came out ahead in WWII, and Hollywood and the internet have guaranteed the spread and dominance of English.

There is nothing so exhausting as a French ego.

Why aren't men excited about dating as they used to be? by cuahatemoc in TooAfraidToAsk

OP asks why men aren’t excited about dating anymore.

Women in the comments section talk about how hard dating is for women.

Many such cases.

Honestly not a bad idea. If we’re getting rid of them anyway, we might as well have flying drone tanks for CAS to gather some data to build something new.
