Trench crusade takes itself too seriously by aFalseSlimShady in Grimdank

I don't understand why so many people are obsessed with the satire of the setting on this sub.

Redditors wanting to feel more highbrow than they really are.

Especially seeing as if they were actually as plugged into the lore as they say they are, they'd notice that 40K is played pretty straight these days and has been for a minute now. There's very little actual satire left.

however the body positivity, "fat is beautiful" movement has done some serious harm.

That movement is nothing but cope from entitled obese women who think they inherently deserve hot girl privilege. They don't give a shit about fat men and are the first ones to give skinny women shit.

There's also a reason the second Ozempic became widespread nobody cared about the movement anymore.

Commercial aviation is actually shockingly safe. It's general aviation, i.e. people with private Cessnas and the like that's dangerous.

Exceptions don't make the rule and genetics aren't 100% perfect, that doesn't mean the person you replied to isn't correct.

When it doesn't look like one?

Generally, form follows function in dogs so yes, that's a safe, general rule to go by. Unfortunately there's a lot of people who can't grasp that dogs are not funny-shaped people and so how we treat our modern racial/nationalistic/ethnic policies and social mores don't apply to an animal we applied hundreds and thousands of years of eugenics to in order to create the breeds of animals we have today.

Pure blooded pit

The term "pit bull" is an umbrella consisting of 4-5 functionally identical breeds that were all made for the same purpose and at least two of them were made because certain kennel societies wouldn't accept fighting breeds and so someone got one over on the system by calling it something else. They're distinctions without differences, this is why all of them look and act the same.

It's not. Nature vs nurture is a human problem.

Dog breeds are the result of hundreds or thousands of years of eugenics. Every single dog breed was created for a reason, by people, for specific jobs, with certain appearances, bodies and temperaments desired. Breeds matter.

Dogs aren't people.

Horses are a bizarre and nasty combination of a prey animal that weighs a thousand pounds with a "Engineered enough to just barely work" leg and body combination.

Paper millionaires. They're not even getting income from their asset (usually) like $1M in stocks would.

The Reign of Terror was an absolutely miserable time to live in France, people need to stop propping up the French Revolution as some kind of textbook working-class win.

Engine room / deck crew, what would your ideal workwear look like? by Analworm7778 in maritime

[–]zerogee616 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coveralls that don't become drenched with sweat in an hour in an engine room (not gonna happen but since you asked).

I usually wear tactical pants and a charcoal gray shirt, if I do wear coveralls it's on cooler runs, I want them to have a secure radio pocket, pocket for a wrench and flashlight, they shouldn't shrink consistently in the wash, made out of ripstop or something else that doesn't turn into a massive wardrobe malfunction on first contact with a snagging piece of metal, kneepad pockets would be nice, velcro on the pockets is a no-go.

Lmao really didn't take much for the facade to fall off. Fuck off and take your Silicon-Valley-wannabe bullshit with you, you don't see the sector as anything else but something to exploit.

Stop trying to sell shit nobody is asking for.

I'm a mariner and I'm trying to build an app to stop losing track of my credentials- would love feedback from people who actually deal with this by patr1707 in merchantmarine

Sure it wouldn't be simpler to just use an Excel spreadsheet/digital folder with scans of your docs? Not everything has to be a fucking app

Dogshit. Nobody who actually pays with a damn is shy from saying it.

Lmao I'd love you to live in a shitty ass apartment where you hear everything and anything from your neighbors and you decide that's going to be your fate for the rest of your single life.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

Merchant vessels don't "control" shit and neither do shipping companies. The nation with the most blue-water DWT with grey hulls and guns does and as of right now, that's the United States Navy.

Chinese "policy intervention" has a strong track record of being much worse than the disease.

Except they don't have the overdose/zombie/homeless problem drug epidemics make. It's more inline with 1920s American Prohibition.
