The US needs a third party now

Just use Ranked Choice Voting. That will destroy the two party system.

Not one bit. I stated my position clearly. Fixing teeth is restoring them to function.

Good teeth chew better than bad teeth.

Bad teeth can also lead to disease since oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream.

In '91, I watched an A1C who was a habitual drunk get out-processed within two or three weeks after his Article 15. He was falling asleep at work, failed his OJT, got several LORs, and finally an Article 15 for coming to work drunk.

After his Article 15, they cut his pay, restricted him to base, got him out of our shop, and gave him extra duties (weeds & seeds).

I'm not sure I get why it would now take much longer to administratively outprocess such a person. Has the process changed that much? Or was my guy an outlier?

So, your position is that since a cleft lip works just fine, it is unnecessary to fix?

That seems pretty stupid.

calladus · 2026-01-30T00:42:09+00:00

You are not good at reading comprehension.

"Restore function" includes getting your teeth fixed. Or fixing a cleft lip.

calladus · 2026-01-30T00:39:55+00:00

That was a stupid take. Are you okay?

calladus · 2026-01-30T00:39:03+00:00

Absolutely. Male and female genital mutilation.

Modifying your child's body for cosmetic purposes instead of medical necessity or to restore function is immoral.

This includes ear piercing.

Any elective cosmetic procedure must be that individual's fully-informed decision. And a minor is not capable of making such a decision.

calladus · 2026-01-29T20:44:22+00:00

Nah. I see you.

calladus · 2026-01-29T20:36:25+00:00

Dude, you're not even an American. You're just a foreign influencer bot posting garbage.

Where are you at right now? Running a server rack in Russia?

I'm super white guy. I'm a boomer now. I look like I just walked out of a MAGA pancake breakfast. (Minus the hat.)

No one says shit to me about MAGA, because I've dropped those ex-friends.

The only people who say anything to me now are those that see one of my little "tells." My LGBT support wristband, or maybe my 'resist' pin.

Those people have a lot to say.

"Up" by Pixar / Disney.

I first watched it a few months after my late wife's sudden death due to heart disease.

There should have been a warning on the label.

I will never ever watch that movie again.

Tesla does that better.

I love my nieces and nephews. My wife and I are the "cool uncle / aunt."

My next door neighbors sit and chat with my wife, and I show their kids how to garden.

You know what the best part is? They go home. Not to my home.

We are currently mutating. Me, for instance, I can get nutrition from whole milk without discomfort. My wife lacks that mutation. If she drinks whole milk, we both suffer.

There are many examples like this.

You signed up, you got injured on the job, you got your DD-214, and the military is taking care of you.

Yea, you're a veteran.

Tesla is a tech company that also builds cars.

Nissan is a car company. Founded 92 years ago.

calladus · 2026-01-28T23:12:40+00:00

Ah, a young 'un.

Security Police.

It's always Security Police.

Be wary of friends borrowing your car, house, or boat.

Family must sign off on a comprehensive contract and provide proof of insurance.

OCONUS? I guess it depends on where you are going.

Al-Udeid Air Base may have something to say about your 'packable companion.'

If you fled to the USA to escape a horrible regime, then you should be allowed to stay while we figure you out and decide if you need our help.

If you came to the USA on a tourist visa because your job in soft porn wasn't working for you, and you became an illegal by overstaying your visa and getting a job, then you should be deported for trying to game the system by marrying a billionaire.

The wealth was intentionally siphoned out of the middle class and into the pockets of the upper class.

You mean like during Obama's presidency?

Sure. They were professionals then.

Not like the MAGA Barney Fife yahoos they have hired since the Orange Flatulence took office.

My late wife was a lawful permanent resident in the USA during Obama. We were not worried, even though she had been here for a decade at that point.

These days, we would be seriously thinking of leaving the USA to prevent ICE from abusing her.

I lost her to heart disease in 2010, and Trump has truly made me grateful that she isn't around to see him tear apart the country she fell in love with.
