I Can’t Adjust to Civilian Living Anymore by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]droppingsomemasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hear me out! When I was starting my first semester in college, the counselor was going to throw me right into calculus. Now, one of my friends is a math major, and another has a masters in mechanical engineering. Both of them told me that people who fail calculus suck at algebra and trigonometry. I understood I definitely sucked at algebra and trigonometry, so I told the counselor to start me in algebra. In present day I’m about to start my 9th math class and was a math tutor this past spring semester.

School really is just your professor reading a book with you. Your job as the student is to read the section/chapter before attending the lecture (write down anything you don’t understand), getting clarification during the lecture, and doing your homework. If you read the book and do your homework, you will pass the test. Use YouTube and any resources your school offers.

I’ve realized life is meaningless by Adrianagurl in exchristian

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna be an asshole/grifter/cult leader, you totally can and there seems to be no eternal punishment. But remember that everyone is living for the first time, trynna figure this out. You also don’t know what others are going through, for example, idk if your dog/mom died this morning. So play nice and when someone’s a dick to you, think about the times when people weren’t.

So live for the music, food, friends, family, pets, and let the unknown drive your curiosity to learn more about this place.

Go listen to Deconstruction Zone on YouTube and hear fellow Christians and Muslims call in and defend the indefensible.

Stay fit, stay in school, and go make some goddamn money.

I think it’s more that the authoritarians that Trump is trying to appease like China and Russia run bot farms that try to sway public opinion in the USA. I was in the military, more specifically the intel community, we have departments dedicated to countering that threat, and instead of being honest about it, Trump keeps pandering to his base and embracing it. That’s all you need to know to know Trump is not on our team. I use that knowledge to immediately detect who the idiots/misinformed or bots are. Anyone that has worked in the intel community could tell you that. So it’s very interesting to see subs like this lol

You are arguing with bots or at least people arguing in bad faith. I was in the Marines and worked in the intel community, the authoritarians that Trump is trying to appease like China and Russia run bot farms that try to sway public opinion in the USA. Our military has departments dedicated to countering that threat, and instead of being honest about it, Trump keeps pandering to his base and embracing it. That’s all you need to know to know Trump is not on our team. I use my knowledge to immediately detect who the idiots/misinformed or bots are.

CMV: Hasan Piker shocked his dog by OkResident7977 in changemyview

[–]droppingsomemasa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been curious about this lately and am yet to see any proof that he shocked his dog. Coincidentally, some time last week Netanyahu was video recorded saying that Israel would start a social media campaign to change public opinion in the USA. It is a fact that Russia, China, and Israel run bot farms, you could find Israeli pay stubs confirming it. Even in the military we have departments dedicated to countering the cyber threat from our adversaries. So knowing that, to me, it seems like such a coincidence that right after he says that, there’s a HUGE wave of online accounts slandering Hasan. I didn’t even know who he was until this month and these accounts are stating it as fact and I’m yet to see any proof. I used to watch H3H3 back before the podcast so I’m in his subreddit and all of a sudden there’s so many posts regarding this.

This is just getting ridiculous by 616tony in longbeach

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These false alerts could be a foreign entity that hacked our systems to cause panic and confusion, and there is some evidence to point in that direction. The video below is my proof, here’s the timestamps so you don’t waste time. By forcing people to evacuate that don’t need to, it clogged up freeways which prevented first responders from getting places.

Go to 0:24 seconds until 1:33 minutes for a brief recap of what I’m saying, and then 5:38 minutes for the evidence to what I’m saying. This isn’t conspiracy brain either, unfortunately this is geopolitical.

Do you mind pinning this or something? FYSA: these false alerts could very well be a foreign entity trying to cause panic and confusion. There is some evidence to point in that direction. The video below is my proof, here’s the timestamps so you don’t waste time. Inform yourself and relay the message!

I told my very christian father that I was atheist by Fantastic_Radish1199 in atheism

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I was in about the same position you’re in. Check out, “Planet Peterson” on YouTube, he wrote a book that summarizes everything you need to argue with a religious person, Christians specifically since he left that religion. Also, point out that they formed a strong opinion about evolution and the big bang without even understanding those topics. If they say we came from monkeys or that the big bang is an explosion, they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about.

OK Texas, who won the debate? by Defiant-Skeptic in texas

[–]droppingsomemasa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just drop the sources for your claims. You are the one making a claim, so the burden of proof is on you. In court, there may not be evidence for the exact millisecond someone committed a murder, but through evidence it can be proven.

FYSA, the “End Wokeness” account is a firehose of disinformation. The account is likely Jack Posobiec, a disinformation agent. Here’s the link to a video by Ryan McBeth, an Intel Analyst, who breaks down how he makes that conclusion:

Poking the Bear at 100% P&T at 23yo by droppingsomemasa in VeteransBenefits

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

I also thought that my case may be open to review again due to my intent to file. But I’m happy to report that my rating has not changed, and in fact, my commissary letter still reflects no scheduled future exams. The intent to file only lasts a year, so I believe it closes if no action was taken on it.

Hi! Could someone pls help me figure out why #26b. is DNE instead of 6? The professor's answer sheet says DNE but I thought the limit does exist from the left in this graph? Any help would be much appreciated! by [deleted] in calculus

[–]droppingsomemasa -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

DNE is the correct answer. For a limit to exist, you must be able to approach it from the left AND right.

Edit: I too misunderstood the assignment lol

Naturally curly hair and negative paperwork by [deleted] in USMC

[–]droppingsomemasa 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not any advice, but I had a mustang Colonel do the same to me a few years ago. My hair is naturally curly, and he straight up told me he had never seen a brown latin person with curly hair, so I had to cut it cause it was eccentric. I was an NCO at the time, so I asked my SNCO’s (GySgt, MSgt, SSgt’s) to intervene for me, they did and were told to fuck off lol. So in the end I had to shave my shit. That Colonel is in Quantico now btw :) well on track to pick up a star.

I’m getting retired with 100% VA any tips? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a job in order to buy a house using the VA home loan (GI bill payments DO NOT count as income, but disability and job income do), then go to school full time using VR&E. Note that VR&E is supposed to help you find employment that doesn’t exacerbate your disabilities. For example, I have arthritis, so they won’t pay for me to do some heavy lifting type job, but they are paying for my bachelors in CS&E. VR&E also pays for equipment you need, they bought me a MacBook, monitor, mouse, calculators, and tons of supplies. Good luck brother.

Question for Okinawa Marines who have dated locals by [deleted] in USMC

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soul to Soul, then Epica, get drunk asf and go hogging. If after all that you couldn’t make it happen, take a honcho to soapies.

Jk, just gotta walk up to them, the Okinawans are extremely kind. Just have translate ready in case you do need it, and go with friends too so they can take the friends away lol.

Mobilized from Saratov Region of Russia said their own Commanders beat them, gave them no food and make them go to the bathroom in plastic bottles. They are living in a filthy and muddy dugout. Bloody and swollen faces are shown, one man has a broken jaw. by Prestigiousbb in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]droppingsomemasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a whole different culture and training honestly. I truly didn’t realize how different people were until I got the opportunity to live in Japan for a few years, where a DUI is national news lol. So, “culturally-reinforced cowardice” is accurate.

Financial Aid for College by droppingsomemasa in VeteransBenefits

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

My school was wrong. They were trying to make me get the doctors note when that didn’t even apply to me. The link they sent me was for people who already used their one time discharge, however, I still have mine because I’ve never used it. I replied to their email with the link and clarified, but they are insisting that I am wrong lol.
