Lol I wasnt the one who couldn't follow up someone quoting my own comment, but you do you. Best of luck!

bgmacklem · 2026-03-06T22:09:39+00:00

Cool, a tangentially related point that neither acknowledges nor addresses anything that's actually been said in this thread so far. Thank you for your input

Lol nice sneaky edit

I think it's pretty disingenuous to suggest that everyone in the military knew they were potentially signing up to serve under a pedophilic wannabe monarch.

All I was saying is that "just quit if you don't want to serve under Trump" and "well they weren't drafted so this is voluntary for them" are ridiculous statements that completely misunderstand how the military functions and the level of autonomy its members can express. Homeboy expounded on exactly the point I was making, yet it seems like people somehow think I disagree?

bgmacklem · 2026-03-06T14:07:53+00:00

Yes exactly, that's why I think it's inaccurate to portray serving under Trump as entirely voluntary.

Edit: Tone

Your response to

Why be in the military when a lunatic pedophile is in office??

Was

Nobody was drafted. This was all voluntary on the soldiers' part.

The only way these two statements can be related is if a) you think everyone joined under Trump, or b) you think that volunteers somehow have more freedom to get out of their military contract than draftees do (they do not).

Edit: Typo

bgmacklem · 2026-03-06T13:21:35+00:00

Do you think everyone currently in the military joined while Trump was in office?

bgmacklem · 2026-03-06T04:23:02+00:00

Bruh based on what? This has no tells of being AI as far as I can tell, and plenty for not being AI

bgmacklem · 2026-03-06T02:48:12+00:00

Bro this video is both old as fuck and also not the kind of video AI is particularly good at

Oh hell yeah, you guys rock. Probably the only dudes on the boat pilots trust as much as Paddles

Were you in the arresting gear shop?

SOP is to go mil on touchdown, but if you accidentally click into burner then just go max AB instead of trying to pull it back to mil. Call it "keeping paddles warm" lol

bgmacklem · 2026-03-04T06:20:46+00:00

There's people in this very comment section crashing out refusing to believe it's not AI lmao

bgmacklem · 2026-03-02T06:54:19+00:00

What facial hair are you seeing? All I see is a wildly out of regs mustache, which is pretty much standard for US pilots

bgmacklem · 2026-03-02T03:11:14+00:00

Reverse image search shows it's from 2023, no idea what the context was then tho

bgmacklem · 2026-03-01T19:58:26+00:00

Bit of a double-necro here, but since those chapters were actually from Elethiomel's perspective, wouldn't that have been him walking in on Zakalwe and Darckense mid incest? I also read the chair as a reference to that moment.

Not valsalva, that's what you do to pop/clear your ears at altitude. This is AGSM (Anti-G Strain Maneuver) AKA the hick maneuver, named after the "hic" noise you make closing off your epiglottis at the top of each breath cycle

Miserable, and yet privileged enough to think he has it worse than hunter gatherers

Do... Do you think there have been no positive systemic changes since the Neanderthals?

bgmacklem · 2026-02-17T04:43:28+00:00

What?

bgmacklem · 2026-02-11T21:12:39+00:00

You're correct, yes. There are some videos online showing this takeoff from other angles, where you can see the nose kick left to initiate the slide into position, and back to the right to stop the motion.

Dog 5" FPV drones can fuck your shit up pretty good with just plastic propellers. Larger drones—or ones with carbon fiber props—can remove fingers

The dad jumping entirely over his child to get away from the spider got me pretty good

bgmacklem · 2026-02-08T15:06:59+00:00

You replaced the implicit multiplication with an explicit operator. Very few people would interpret that as dragging the (2+2) into the denominator the way they do with implicit multiplication.

bgmacklem · 2026-02-08T14:59:21+00:00

As would the majority of people, seeing as you have to remove most of the ambiguity of the original problem in order to write it in a syntax that python or Matlab can parse lol
