Reckon the main difference is that soldiers assume that people may shoot back.

I had a few of my old soldiers go all CHUD on me, especially in respect to the BLM movement and the ongoing protests.

After going back and forth with them for a while I simply told them I was disappointed in them and that I thought better of them. I guess I had a better relationship/influence with them than I thought. 75% of them calmed down, listened to reason, and ultimately conceded. The other 25% are now blocked.

Since I've started treating the CHUDs like children that did something wrong I've been having more success.

Yes.

Mentally replace anti-Semite with chud, though there's a significant overlap.

Recent discussion has figured that 'ironic racism is just racism' is better as 'all racism is ironic'; they know it's irrational and don't care because it makes them feel good. Logic doesn't work, anger doesn't work, scolding can work if you are already a person (or hold a position) that they respect and want to please.

Guys, it�s me: I�m the idiot

I live with my gf of two years, and she is kind of a slob. I can�t get her to clean up the kitchen at all with the gentlest suggestion, she�s had a pile of clothes in the same corner since last November (because she doesn�t have, and has no intention of purchasing a dresser), and it�s almost impossible to get her to do any chores during the day. I should note that she works from home, and almost never leaves the apartment unless it�s with me.

In a way, she kinda reminds me of myself at 19, except she�s 31 and won�t take responsibility for anything. Whenever I try to suggest some changes, it�s melt with either empty promises or a total meltdown. I feel like a total moron trying to train this grown woman how to live with another person.

GIP, what the gently caress do I do?

Barging in a bit here but this seems like a pretty likely standard case of depression (maybe even undiagnosed ADHD), :therapy:

either way

There's probably military idiots stories about medieval knights out there somewhere. Certainly so many Arthurian tales would count. Knights are apparently all massive idiot drama queens.

Several of the rest of those suggestions fit in well with theories around the effects of Neoliberalism recreating every facet of its subjects' existence in its own image tho

South Korea is probably Exhibit A for that one, hypercapitalist feudal nightmare and all, where plastic surgery has become routine.

I did hear that Ospreys aren't necessarily terrible, but I imagine they're very difficult and unique to pilot, and best saved for uses that play to their strengths, but the Marines insist on using them all the drat time, and also insist on using live Marines on test flights instead of dummies or weight.

Did you never shut up about field camp like kids just out of basic training? I double majored in GIS & Anthropology so a lot of my classmates were Geology majors, and they�d all talk your ear off about �this one time in field camp!�

Only other Geology movie I can think of that I�ve seen is the �59 Journey to the Center of the Earth. The one I think Raiders of the Lost Ark stole the Boulder chase from, but executed so much better. It�s a decently fun movie despite starring arch-douchebag Pat Boone. We watched it in 8th grade Earth Science. The Core came out that year but I�ve never actually seen it.

The whole scene with the idol switching and boulder chase was actually stolen from an older source iirc; a Scrooge McDuck comic.

Remember when weirdos online thought Russia had some super bad rear end military because they had tough guys looking tough in a commercial whereas the U.S. Army commercial had lesbians or something. Oh how wrong they were.

Also the major effects of things put into place by his predecessor took a while to happen so he was substantially taking credit for work done by the people he shits on. A real piece of work, that one.

There is no absolutely good or trustworthy media. The idea of objective coverage has always been a total lie. Expect bias from every account and work through it. Some is worse than others, of course. Be most wary of media that tells you exactly what you want to hear.

Hillary couldn�t figure out the technology through the proper method because olds and they hacked together some solution that might have worked if still been against regulations for someone who wasn�t a prime target of foreign hackers involving a private e-mail server.

Basically if a normal person did it they�d probably lose their clearance and get fired, maaaaaybe some sort of suspended criminal penalty but as far as powerful and rich people crimes it�s absolutely nothing compared to an average minute in Trump�s life or oh, stuff her and Obama ordered in the war on terror, but that that involves mostly killing people in the third world and most Americans are totally cool with torture, assassination, and war crimes so instead buttery males.

Supposedly a big part was that she refused to learn to use a smartphone or move on from her Blackberry.

Also for those without context; that character is the drunken commanding officer of child soldiers, at least one of which she is sexually inappropriate with. And the show does not treat this as a good thing.
