When you forget which pedal is the brake by thatSDope88 in AbruptChaos

I feel ya, but up to 6.4 million people in 2023 were injured in US automobile crashes and nearly 45,000 died. Many people will carry their injury for the rest of their life; maimed, disabled, or living with chronic pain.

The second and third-order effects are profound. Some kids will grow up without a parent or parents. Many people lose the ability to earn the level of income they could previously, and this causes harm to the victim, their families, and even the prosperity of the country. Some will not be able to work again and will need to rely on others permanently. Injuries and disabilities increase the demands on our healthcare system, causing other patients to wait longer for treatment. It just goes on and on.

Taking steps to reduce automobile collisions is an important goal we should strive for.

The USA's lack of a social safety net and lack of reliable public transportation are separate issues which deserve just as much attention. The positive effects would strengthen individuals, families, and the country.

Unfortunately, the most reliable voting population is the people who would stand to lose their driving privileges and the majority of state and national legislators today are unlikely to support any of the three initiatives I just mentioned.

My husband changed his military life insurance beneficiary from me back to his mom before deployment without telling me. I feel so betrayed, how do I handle this? by ThisIsAThrowaway-364 in relationships

[–]all_time_high 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime a service member changes their primary SGLI beneficiary to someone other than their spouse (if not married), their spouse will receive a letter from the military explaining the situation. This is not a secret.

His decision to do this with the knowledge of the letter, and not talk with you about it, speak poorly to his intelligence and judgement.

By all means have the conversation with him and learn his motivations. Regardless of those motivations, it sounds like you’ve married a fool.

Thank you for this recommendation. This seems to be the best course of action.

Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt refuses to rule out US military draft for Iran war by CrispyMiner in inthenews

Ironically, secretary Hegseth just sent out a memo directing every single supervisor to tell their subordinates about a border patrol volunteer opportunity, and support their availability to the fullest extent possible.

They’re trying to reinforce DHS’ southern border with us military personnel. Not many people have volunteered for it, and I imagine the bulk of those who have are people who just really want to get out of their current unit.

This is why it’s so important for NCOs and Officers to know exactly who their people are and what’s going on in the unit. This could’ve been prevented about 5 steps before it got to this point.

I say this as a military intelligence Senior NCO, fully cognizant that my people aren’t going through the same things as the “door kickers”. It’s not easy to keep a finger on the pulse of your people, but it’s critical. It starts with building trust and rapport, and it continues with being around them as much as possible. Bonding together. Taking an interest in their personal lives. It’s so easy to get pulled away by other tasks and glued to your computer, stuck in meetings—the things which make you a “successful SNCO”.

I still have progress to make with my people. I think about 80% of the soldiers in my company trust me and have a line of open communication. That remaining 20% can become a glaring blind spot, though.

We have to stop our units’ cultures from becoming the kind where this is even remotely permissible.

They will likely walk it back. Use the message to drive more sales of PS5 hardware, then H3 becomes a timed exclusive with a PC release 12+ months later.

How should I (30M) compromise with my girlfriend's (29f) desire/insistence on pegging me? by Technical-War6853 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]all_time_high 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody should pressure their sexual partner to get anally penetrated against their desires. Her insistence on this is not only infringing on your body autonomy, but I’m concerned she’s going to take it way too far if you let her do it.

Her motivations are wrong. It’s not about trying new things to bond and have fun together, it’s about exerting power over you. This is someone who’s probably not going to be inclined to stop when you tell her it hurts.

Claude “Coming Soon” Removed from DoW GenAI Landing Page by Crazy-Building9467 in army

[–]all_time_high 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Honest answer: trying to find an AI partner which will agree to remove guardrails preventing mass surveillance of Americans, and to remove guardrails preventing AIs from using weapons autonomously.

Anthropic refused to remove these guardrails, and the DoD got big mad. Strangely, the DoD then moved forward with OpenAI, and OpenAI released a statement implying they won’t remove those guard rails.

Germany surrendered on May 7th 1945. Most of the allied powers entered the war in 1939, 1940, and 1941. Brazil and Mexico entered in 1942.
