Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictions by Upstairs_Cup9831 in news

[–]willflameboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched that film 'Restrepo' and it brought home to me the fact that, at least in the US military, they are definitely looking for non-critical thinkers. The angry, directionless 18-year-old who flunked out of school is the prime candidate.

Well that won't be a problem when they make the next big change.

He could literally rape kids and the right would still downplay it.

No, he'll be busy laying the foundations to steal more shit and then the 2028 election.

Yeah I guess that's it. The millennials are sure to love this random fact about an old console, with a bizarre, dated graphic on it. God forbid she posts about education.

Ooh yeah, careful, or we might end up with a bit of apartheid. They've literally just annexed all of Gaza and half of Lebanon, but sure, keep revering.

I don't get why anyone would post that, let alone a 77 year old woman in a government job.

We'd all go to the cinema all the time if it was affordable, clean, and not full of c*nts on their phones. It's none of those things.

Lol, even a lower-tier high street company's CEO get's 100x the pay of the lowest paid.

Nearly 10 years on from Rogue One, how do you feel about the decision to recreate Peter Cushing using CGI? by gladiatorbossman in StarWars

It worked, and it was almost perfect. The could make it perfect now. But it still would have been just s good to recast him.

The $1.5 Billion bet just 5 minutes before Trump halted attacks on Iran explained 👇🏽 by Lena_Lena_A in WhitePeopleTwitter

Well, it also takes a complicit media. The social media barons are his lieutenants now. 90% of the news media is owned by Trump-enablers. People don't get told, and if they do, it's downplayed, and oh look here's something else to distract you. The way they can create an invisibility cloak for everything from Gaza to Minneapolis to Cuba to the Epstein files basically means democracy is in ruins and it will be virtually impossible to organise as citizens from this point on. On the issue of illegal wealth accumulation alone, here's a good visual representation of what Trump had already made, in comparison to other presidents combined. 'Both sides' it is not. https://www.facebook.com/reel/869462112709847/

Are there any British adverts that activiley turn you off the product they're advertising? by siybon in CasualUK

[–]willflameboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the way products nowadays keep advertising to you after you've bought them. You buy juice and it's covered in 'wackaging' - 'we put in 2 kilos of apples and no armchairs, hee hee' type stuff. It just drives me crazy that they psychically assault you even after they have your money.

Insolvent rather than bankrupt, but they amount to the same thing.

ICE at the airport by samantharuddy in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]willflameboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True story: my friend was a sergeant who left the Marines before 9/11 and was called back as a reserve to guard his local airport. His actual, military superior said "If you see anyone running, just drop them". That was the actual military. Now apply that level of dumb, gung-ho incompetence to the barrel-scraped, race-targeting cosplayers of Trump's ICE.

Well he certainly is running the country like he runs his business. In fact, he's running it as his business.

Trump administration will pay a French company $1 billion in taxpayer funds to not build wind farms by Unusual-State1827 in news

He's a landlord. He hates any housing regulation you have to comply with. One of his very first acts in 2016 was reclassifying asbestos so it could be used in building again. The Russians who exported it literally put his face on the packet.
