You're gonna have to, like, really, really prove you're straight though. Those girls have been burned too many times.

from 2022……..

One of the FOBs I was at in Kandahar in 2010 was named after a Canadian soldier who died there.

I always love it when "oh you can just take the baby with you to do all the things you did before kids" people have a second child. The learning curve is *steep*.

They very simply do not have the number of troops required to occupy every major city in America.

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

No one in the government knows what this administration's foreign policy is, lolsob

Every discussion about LLMs: person 1: "I used chatGPT for a project" person 2: "Don't do that, chatGPT is literally satan" person 3: "No it isn't, i fired my therapist because chatGPT is more affirming"

Well I discovered why my ten year old daughter is tired all the time, it's because she's been setting her alarm for 5:30 am so she can sneak downstairs and watch YouTube on the smart TV.

If I understand my peers in the Pacific Northwest correctly, the only good small business is one where the owner's total net worth including home equity is less than $1 million, they own no other business, they pay a living wage, provide benefits, and prices of all goods are lower than WalMart.

I’m sorry, but the base of the Democratic Party is a middle aged black woman with a service sector job that does not know what BlueSky is, and upon being exposed to it, would swiftly and correctly conclude that we all need to log off and find Jesus.

As far as I can tell, this is RUMINT but it's in line with how the US government usually treats National Guard soldiers on Title 10 orders.

The Thunderbolts* (2025)

Interesting question. I was in the Army from 2007 to 2023 when I medically retired, and in those 16 years and all those shut downs and budget struggles it impacted active duty pay exactly once, in 2011, and then Congress scrambled to fix it within 24 hours because they realized it was *such* a risk.

The thing is there is no funding for this. That's why the Guard soldiers are sleeping on the floor and there are no toilets. The unit hasn't gotten funds to book port-a-johns. And once these units hit 30 days activated, every soldier is owed a ton more money because BAH benefits kick in.

Turning to my two year old who will be entering kindergarten when I am 43 like "the internet thinks I should have aborted you"

A recent survey of the homeless population in my county described the majority as cis, straight white people and a lot of the non-profits are upset about it, saying the survey was flawed and/or racist. And yes, that's one possibility. But here's the thing.

You know who's music would actually make a great jukebox musical? Ani DiFranco.

Maybe it's not a thought bubble as much as it is that the BlueSky community likes to gaslight itself into pretending the most embarassing trends in progressive spheres never happened.

My local yarn shop wished a happy pride month to all, including crocheters, so I'm just letting y'all know that you're gonna have to update the acronym again

The Last of the Mohicans is a beautifully acted and directed movie and it's impossible for me to watch because I'm too familiar with the upstate New York geography and spend the whole movie thinking things like "is that supposed to be the Hudson? the Hudson is a lot wider at that point in the river"

For those of you who don't watch the Tony awards but did watch grainy YouTube videos of a certain unauthorized college fan musical circa 2009 or so, it's important to me that you know this guy now has a Tony Award for Leading Actor in a Musical.

The impulse buy cover vs the warning between the dedication and the title page.

everyone in the comments is in denial

Gymnastics still has an earned reputation as a mostly white sport but my son's team happens to have a kid on it whose parents run a Mexican restaurant and another whose parents used to run a Filipino restaurant and let me tell you every year the team end of season picnic is a can't miss appointment.
