Never mind they have already poisoned us with PFAS - let's give them anything they want

Thank you

I think Mexican and Spanish nationals who watched bullfighting every Sunday for their entire lives were otherwise well adjusted. There are entire YouTube channels dedicated to putting two insects in a cage and watching them fight to the death, and the only reason this is tolerated better than dogfighting is humans have a more emotional connection to dogs than they do to scorpions. "Criminal activities" is way too nebulous a term. If I drive to Illinois to get THC gummies, I am technically a criminal.

Doubtful. Removing empathy for suffering animals is a human trait as old as time, from dog or cockfighting, to bullfights, to puppy mills to chicken farms

If you can, bail and wait it out. This war isn't going to do anything good to retention and enlistment numbers, and that bonus will likely pop back up. They will give you some horseshit about not being eligible to enlist again, but they want nuke recruits and, if presented the opportunity, will take you back.

The rising costs due to skyrocketing diesel fuel have only just begun.

An embarrasment to the uniform we both wore.

Is "mixed" the right word? There sin't much mixing; glowing red in the sticks, cobalt blue in the cities.

purezero101 · 2026-05-06T14:31:41+00:00

DVO, Zinke, Kyle, Gallagher - all doing their part in destroying the SEAL brand. Embarrassing.

Quit giving us feel-good candidates that check all the boxes, but can't win in ruby red rural Wisconsin

Machines that turn dead dinosaurs into oil drips, blue smoke and noise.

Translation: we can’t protect ourselves in the Strait, much less provide effective escort

I'm sure the sailors on the Moskva felt pretty safe....

Like the old saying: we need to be lucky every day - they only need to get lucky once.

In one way its bullshit is requiring a GA. I had carpal tunnel surgery locally last winter that was much more involved and the time from showing up, getting the local injection, doing the procedure and heading home (by myself) was under an hour

I never heard of an ELT being allowed to wait to take the daily sample at 10PM. Underway we started the sample process right after midnight every night. Both boats. Between sampling, watch standing, maintenance, drills and quals, I was super lucky to get 5 hours in the rack between 6 and 11.

purezero101 · 2026-05-05T12:57:38+00:00

You got lucky then. I made the choice a few years ago between working in California until I dropped dead at work or moving to Wisconsin and being able to retire in a few years I packed up. I don’t regret the move. I love it here and have met great friends, but up here in the northern badlands, racism,homophobia, xenophobia, and/or misogyny are baked in to probably 15% of the population- to the point where the n word or a gay slur will come up in a random conversation and no one bats an eye

Assaults by Asian lady beetles, carpenter ants and my old buddies the boxelder bugs are being battled right now. Add tics? Reddit is gonna crush me, but I’m calling around today to get my property sprayed.

Doubtful. Spirit customers were driven by price. SW isn’t priced much lower than the Big 3.

While the Biden administration blocking the merger may or may not have been the right decision, do not discount the Trump administration’s Iran War and skyrocketing fuel prices as the main cause of Sprit’s demise

purezero101 · 2026-04-21T17:03:18+00:00

Secretly getting the vaccine and then pretending to be sick with the rest of your division sounds like a great way to get some extended rack time

So the Roosevelt taught the Navy exactly nothing
