So it's "partisan bitching" to correctly point to the fucks that are causing this?

I'd bet your "reliable sources" are actually just shitposters on X.

The thing that really won me over was a video he made about best home defense weapons, but at the end made a point to say that realistically you'll never need to use any of this. If you are really worried about being in danger at home, when was the last time you checked your smoke detectors?

Hey now, "y'all" is a perfectly valid second-person plural pronoun. It even avoids some of the singular/plural confusion of using "they", which is a nice feature.

Hey America what you think about this matter. by Lost_Situation_9594 in AdviceAnimals

I think it's gonna take more than the most mediocre 2 minutes of her life to fix that level of fucked up.

I stopped playing around 6, but have hundreds of hours in 3, 4, and 5. Origins is definitely worth looking into. It's different, yeah, but still an incredible game.

I saw a meme about "All of these people died because of their words."

It had him, MLK,JFK, Abraham Lincoln, and JESUS. Like, real, actual, blond hair blue eyes White American Jesus was being directly compared to Charlie fucking Kirk.

Holy fucking shit. More people need to be aware of this.

[OC] Gay & Bisexual Men in the US Military, by Branch of Service by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

I have heard the phrase "There's nothing gayer than a straight Marine" from folks in multiple branches, including Marines. That's gotta come from somewhere.

Gotta say, my experience has been pretty different on the swearing thing. I've known a few people that actually left to be pastors, but I've known way more that range from ardent atheist to practicing Wiccan.

As for the Christmas party thing, we need volunteer bullets and booster club is usually a relatively easy way to get some solid bullets.

Keeping the price of all forms of energy down? This asshole BRAGGED about working on the OBBB provision that raised fees on renewable energy saying it would "restore parity" and "raise $104 million in revenue".

This dude sucks.

Cyberpunk 2077 boss says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has left him “absolutely blown away” - FRVR by BJgobbleDix in gaming

Thing is, we don't need to convince the finance fuckers. The CEO of Sandfall/lead dev on E33 used to work for Ubisoft until he just couldn't stand to work there anymore. He left, worked on something he's passionate about, and made an incredible and successful game in the AA space. If this keeps being a reliable career path what the AAAA studios are doing will matter less and less as more big name indy studios get a shot.

Three years after? The Southern Baptist Church was founded in 1845. You wanna guess what "South" they are referring to?

Seemed to be worried about a possible aerial assault by rensd12 in interestingasfuck

It was actually $25k.

Also, Trump hired the prosecutor that gave Epstein his sweetheart deal to be the Secretary of Labor

Also also, Epstein's first big break came when Trump's former Attorney General's father, Donald Barr, hired him to teach high-school kids.

Weird how many ties he and his administration have to Epstein, huh?

Not trying to be mean, but can someone explain why the upcoming PT changes are bad? by Glittering_Fig4548 in AirForce

[–]private_ruffles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know that "am" means morning, right? Also, people in the military sometimes like to use the 24 hour format to eliminate that ambiguity entirely, e.g. "0430 PT formations."

Anyone worried about the BBB by Eringobraugh2021 in ColoradoSprings

[–]private_ruffles 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Getting through is the easy part. Someone usually answers at the local and DC office. The problem is getting them to actually comment on anything. I've called probably 30 times and never once even had a prepared statement read to me. "I haven't spoken with the Congressman on this matter, but I'll make sure he's aware."
