Even the Nazis, the literal ones from the 30s and 40s, were not as inhumane as we treat our homeless, chronically ill, an disabled.

At least they would outright murder them while here they end up dead behind dumpsters or just outside hospitals. I did a lot of volunteer and community work until I had reached my limit of seeing how fucked up things are at the bottom.

not just democracy but whatever is left of the economy will evaporate.

preemptive response to how invincible the US dollar is, a lot of people said the Titanic was unsinkable.

Unless the CO is compromised, anyone who opts out will likely find themselves constantly “lucking out” and not going on deployments. The USN has some serious idiots in charge of our nuclear subs but they also really know how bad things get with contagions due a couple classified events.

They can’t make it to obvious this is the bad place.

Ugh, I don’t even want to imagine what it’s like being on a cruise ship full of norovirus.

While I am not a big fan of sailing and such, I am one of those rare assholes that absolutely doesn’t get sea sick. That said, being surrounded by vomit and shit everywhere would probably be enough to overcome that mild superpower.

Well there was that time an aircraft carrier was taken off the line because of rona, so not too hard to imagine how it would go.

Also the whole “man flu” thing is actually real. Testosterone has been shown to weaken parts of the immune system - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5075254/

“Alright so this system is called ‘testing’ but you need to get two seniors to sign off plus a good reason to push an update.”

/What about this system?/

“Oh, that’s where we do all are actual testing, just be careful not to break it too much.”

/Alright, what is it called?/

“Uhm, I think its called prod or something like that. The root password is written on a sticky note on the upper right corner of John’s monitor.”

/Who is John, the senior dev or something?/

“What? Hahaha no, John is just the summer intern.”

A really rough way for Americans to understand these prices is to take the liters/$ price and multiply it by 4. So my friend in Greece who pays 2,22 a liter is actually paying close to $8 a gallon.

More accurate would be 3.73 or about, but 4 is good enough.

not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Consider the ages of those involved, they will be long dead of natural causes by the time the true “find out” stages of climate change has really gotten going. Also they’ve got wealth & privilege so will have the easiest time migrating to safer places.

Even now, Phoenix Arizona is still another 3 years, at least, away from when evacuations will need to start while Vegas has maybe another 8 as long as the deeper water lines work as designed. Miami could defy the somewhat impossible odds and survive another decade before a hurricane wipes it out like Andrew did to Homestead. Yes bad things are starting to happen faster now, but we could have had another decade of some semblance of normalcy.

My friend in Greece sent me a couple pictures of Gerald asking if I knew which one it was. Took me a moment because I was shocked with how bad of a condition she is in, and this was before the fire! Everything about that ship screams fraud, waste ,and abuse of public trust.

I am kind of baffled by the absence of food in the US military, especially the US Navy. That’s like the third item on the logistics checklist with ammunition and fuel being first and second.

This also gives some credence to rumors the fire was deliberately started on Gerald due to moral issues.

I am partial to “Operation Epstein Fury” or OEF2
