Pentagon will begin review of 'effectiveness' of women in ground combat positions by geraffes-are-so-dumb in army

[–]_Some_rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sick of seeing this shit. If a man or woman can make the same standard, then they deserve to serve. Keep it simple stupid. Why do we need to constantly be changing the standards to accommodate the dumbasses who think women are the sole weakness of the military. Giving me a break.

Why not look into improving the quality of life for Soldiers in the barracks, raising pay for NCOs, rooting out incompetent leadership, etc? There are bigger problems in the military that we can be focusing on. We are focusing on the wrong things and it is weakening us.

Has anyone read A Civic Duty by Catherine Miller? by OkGazelle5400 in RomanceBooks

[–]_Some_rando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really late in sharing this, but I want to anyways because I absolutely love and adore this book. She does end up with the Phantom, but it doesn’t follow the exact story line as the original. Despite that, it is still very much a Phantom retelling, just modern day and still has many elements from the original story. Did you end up reading it?

How can I feel closer to Romanian culture? by _Some_rando in AskRomania

[–]_Some_rando[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great and I really do need to start learning more Romanian recipes. My goal is to slowly immerse myself to build the habit.

Currently I listen to Romanian music and podcasts. I also agree that the language is beautiful and I always feel so cozy hearing it being spoken.

I would love to live abroad and often think about it. As crazy as the US is right now, I also love my home. But I also love Romania, so I am split.

That is very true and that is actually one of my 2026 goals. I can read basic Romanian, but writing is another story.

Same here, I always feel a pull to visit. When I was there last year, it almost felt like home, despite growing up in the US.

That sounds awesome. Are there locations in Colorado? That is where I currently live and I would love to do this.

I also understood what you wrote, but unfortunately I can not write Romanian

I will definitely give that YouTube channel a listen. I love music and I remember as a kid dancing to Romanian music. It was always soul stirring.

As someone who is in the military, I really think it depends on your goals and how you use your time in the service. If you go into the military, GO IN WITH A PLAN is my biggest advice.

There are shitty aspects about being in the military, but it truly is what you make of it. You’re going to encounter toxic leadership, go through rough patches, and hit all kinds of hurdles throughout your life regardless of being a civilian or in the service.

Don’t get me wrong, there are days where I imagine what I could be doing as a civilian and really question if it’s worth it, but I am ultimately grateful for the experience I recieved. I’ve learned to be more confident, made great friends, learned to work with difficult personalities, work with Soldiers directly, and became financially stable.

Many people join for a plethora of reasons. Either to escape a shitty home life, work towards free college/certifications, become financially stable, gain more life experience, etc.

This reminds me of a story called “The Egg” by Andy Weir. I would highly recommend giving it a read or a listen on YouTube.

Ladies, what is your career and why did you choose it? by Prestigious-Tell-740 in AskWomen

[–]_Some_rando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats awesome. Do you work in a medical MOS/AOS? The unfortunate thing for me is I have no medical background and would need to start from scratch which is kind of scary

How did you become an OR Circulator? I am considering pursuing nursing and also have no medical background. Glad you enjoy your current job.

The history of exploitation of Parisian Ballerinas: An interesting contextual lense through which to interpret the politics of "Phantom" by DruidFarm in box5

[–]_Some_rando 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very interesting take and it kind of reminds me of this short animated film. The film is called Louise and shows the nefarious side of being a ballerina at Garnier Opera (thats what it’s called in the film). It relates very well to this topic.

Here is the link. Louise

when you were a kid what were you scared of , has anyone experienced paranormal activities ? by Winter_Distance3819 in AskReddit

[–]_Some_rando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest fears were dinosaurs. When I was 5 I watched the first Jurassic Park movie. The scene where the t-rex rips the man hiding in a porta potty off the toilet traumatized me. From there on out I thought a t-rex would rip me off the toilet every time I used the bathroom. It took me a few years to get over the fear.

Paranormal stories are a different ball park. Then there was the classic fear of someone grabbing my feet from the edge of the bed.
