I remember when Obama suggested mandatory civil service. Not necessarily military but local government or parks. Doing some local community work. I thought that was a great idea.
Having mandatory military is dumb. I was in for a few enlistments and you don’t want someone forced to be there when people’s lives are on the line. Vietnam ended up with a bunch of officers getting fragged by disgruntled draftees.
Funny enough, I just opened YouTube and this short was suggested. It was Valkyrie40k. It looks like them, but I think tiktok and IG use different names.
I’m in VA and I have a couple of spots that sell their food “from NY water shipped daily.” Idk it is bomb ass bagels and pizza though. I’m not sure what the water does but I enjoy eating it.
I’m not adding anything new, but I wanted to agree with others saying playing in bursts is fine. I would suggest at least 1 hour, if not more. If you don’t have an hour just wait till you do. I played it in burst, but there is so much to read that a shorter amount of time won’t do it justice.
Definitely worth playing. Multiple times too. I played my first go one way and now I’m playing a completely different Tequila Sunrise.
President Joe Biden has suggested he will appoint progressive justices to the Supreme Court if he wins a second term in the White House in November....
If she retired earlier, then Mitch would have just blocked her replacement. Unless you mean like early early, like Obama’s first term. I don’t really remember hearing calls for her to resign until after Mitch showed his plan as ”the party of no."
I assumed the dude was trafficking from somewhere in South America. He had a plane and liked to fly low because he didn’t have his paperwork up to date.
Well conservatives have developed a desire for raw milk. They are passing laws to make it legal to sell raw milk in different counties. I found out because someone in my family is all about raw milk now. Even though they told me they were “deadly afraid” of the flax milk I was drinking. Idk man, I’m just trying to remove sugar from my diet.
I wouldn’t say it’s great. There is a mouth feel you need to get used to, if you drink it straight. I put it in my smoothies with fruits and veggies and can’t tell the difference though.
I won’t say that won’t happen, but they will call back all the inactive reserves first. The 1st time you sign an active duty contract, you sign up for 8 years total. Everyone does. It normally is 4 years active and 4 years inactive, but sometimes it’s 5 and 3 or 6 and 2.
They called people back in '02, '03 during OEF/OIF. It’s easier to call people with prior training back then train 100% new one.
So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that’s it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app....
I’m guessing he was referring to the actual practice of a gym doing something like that. I’m sure there is whatever statement in the gym contract that says that they can change access. I wouldn’t know. I just use the gym in my apartment.
In practice, most businesses will work to accommodate you if there is a change like this and you can’t adapt. Someone else mentioned that their gym has an app and it doesn’t work all the time and have to use fobs still. Most managers will work with a customer and take care of the few that need extra attention.
Hello, I guess everyone knows the current state of AAA games in general, so I am looking into other game markets. I have looked into indie games , but while I do like it, I feel the budgetary constraints and dvelopment limitations are a limit to indie games....
I have no idea if it’s AA or whatever. Maybe if AA stood for Alcoholics Anonymous. Also there was some corporate greed fuckery so the makers do get a cut on steam or anything, so…
To add to this Science Vs did a podcast on the lack of affordable housing. It goes into the NIMBYs, the corporate ownership, local laws that make it hard to build multi-family units, and AirBnB. There are a lot of different factors and it might take time to see the results of fixing it because of this.
If people were upset with that then they missed a lot of foreshadowing. “When a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin.”
I hated it because it felt rushed. They were tying up years long storylines too quickly because they wanted a piece of the Star Wars money. This led to them rushing through way too many stories and had the end result not make sense with a lot of other storylines. They ignored personal growth of the characters we followed just to get them to the ending that B&W wanted. That was my beef anyway.
I agree with the “not getting all these labels” but they aren’t really for me. I’m not out trying to find someone to date or bang or whatever.
I was having a conversation with some co-workers last week about the difference between bisexual and pansexual. I might have been wrong in my explaination. I’m a straight white man (so my knowledge is limited), but I’m usually more open than my (normally older) co-workers. They didn’t understand the need for it, or why it mattered. I said well apparently LGBTQ people had enough interactions to need a new word. If you aren’t dating or in that world then you wouldn’t understand the need for a more detailed definition of Bi vs Pan.
For the record they just thought it should all be lumped under Bi with no need for an extra trans inclusion word since (in their mind) trans was already included.
Kyle Rittenhouse abruptly departed the stage during an appearance at the University of Memphis on Wednesday, after he was confronted about comments made by Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk....
i dont think Im ever going to let go of killing people= murder regardless of what the law says.
Not trying to change your mind one way or the other, but could I ask clarifying questions?
I’m sure you have a definition for what “killing” is to justify your beliefs, but like what is it?
Are drunks that kill people while they are blacked out murders?
What about giving someone peanuts that die from allergies? Does it matter if they didn’t know about the allergy?
What about doctors killing people in the OR?
Or a baby killing their mom during childbirth?
Are all these people murders because they killed someone?
Wanted to edit real quick. I’m not trying to claim Rittenhouse didn’t have a mindset to murder someone. Idk about what the legal definition is, he went there trying to kill someone so I could agree calling him a murder.
That’s kinda the same reasoning I am more scared to fight homeless people than any other rando. Those people don’t have anything to lose. If they are in the moment and want to fight you, then all bets are off.

I got back into comics when Hickman “soft-booted” the X-Men with Krakoa. Now they are on the “Fall of X” storyline, post Krakoa. It is indeed a exciting and great time. I’m enjoying it.
There are a lot of LGBT characters and I feel they are treating them like real people or real mutants anyway instead of just it as an after thought. Most teams or books have at least one LGBT identifying individual on it, but most are in relationships, so they dive into that. I am a straight white man though so I probably have blind spots somewhere.
