I did nine years in the air force, so a few lol

Travis AFB, Kunsan AB, RAF Mildenhall, Vance AFB, Camp Lemonnier and Chabelley Airfield were the ones I was stationed at, and I did training at Lackland AFB (I know obvious), Keesler AFB, and did some survival stuff at McGuire.

I'm a veteran and this is fucking stupid. The only ones that are going to take him up on this are the morons that couldn't score a 30 on the asvab.

Thanks! Do you have a game plan for your first half? Halloween 2021 was my first half, so I just went through that.

I'm just using a training plan on under armour's mapmyrun app and taking advice from my girlfriend since she was a cross country runner in college.

Good luck! I'm actually training for my first half right now. I know it's not quite the same (about half the work maybe lol) but I'm right here with ya!

This is not correct. CP and gore videos are not on the same level on classified information.

I was in the military and had held a level of security clearance (long since expired). Even with that clearance, everything was held at a need to know basis. Meaning, even if I held top secret security/ SCI clearance, I couldn't just waltz into certain areas and read documents unless it was essential for my job. A person whose job is to operate nuclear power plants on a naval ship (requiring top secret clearance) cannot read up on the identities of double agent US spies in Russia. Its not their job.

Right. While I once, long ago, had a security clearance, I couldn't just walk down to my local Intel office and star digging through their files, everything was still need-to-know, and if I didn't need to know it I didn't see or hear it.

All that is to say, if these agents are sent to a site to find documents, then they've been cleared to know their contents. This isn't the local sheriff's office, it's the fucking FBI and it's comical someone could actually wonder "what happens if they see something they're not supposed to" and never consider that they have the clearance to handle the documents.

I obviously didn't watch it, but the article also notes that is an old woman who didn't even know who pop culture icons The Rock and Justin Timberlake. I don't think she's racist, I just think she has no idea who these people are and was made to play a game where the goal was for her to get the answers wrong.

I've tried various ones and have never had a problem. You really only get one or two California wines, though, I think you get bombarded when you don't really put anything specific. We got mostly international wines, lots of Argentinian and Spanish ones, and stuck to 4 reds, 2 whites if given the choice.

Honestly? Wear a condom. It doesn't feel as good, but that makes it last waaaaaaay longer.

Not gigantic lips, no, but they're better than thin little pioneer woman bird lips.

Btw TC how many of these topics have you done? It'd be cool for it to be a regular thing. Once I I get our house unpacked and my office set up I'm gonna take a shot at this. Never been great at drawing women though so I'm excited.

Tag do I remember to draw one later

Is...is this the same monster that cancelled Venture Bros?

The bastards were supposed to have a movie coming, too. Guess that's dead probably.

Every demographic watches procedurals and true crime

I've been using Opinel knives for the past few years. Got a cool one with a handle a cabinet maker designed out of several different types of wood.

Xenoblade 3 last night

So something I can't understand, and please forgive me if it's been discussed:

I don't understand how removing from the service completely a years old film like An American Pickle can be used as a tax write-off. This movie was filmed in 2018 and WB didn't have anything to do with it until they bought the rights in 2020, the year it was released.

I can understand the logic behind canceling a movie or show partway through, but this movie has been out and watchable for years. What costs are they saving by removing a digital from their streaming service?

Greendale probably has a class for this.

I'm pretty it was some generic, no graphics online rog from the late 90s/early 00s. I played a bunch before finding RuneScape at 9/10, and then I discovered console RPGs through FFIX.

I grew up in a small town, and the games the other kids played were stuff like Crash Bandicoot, Twisted Metal and Road Rash, so I didn't even know RPGs were a thing. Now, it's my favorite genre.

Sure I'm okay with it. The article I read mentioned that a lot of what they want to do is stop punching *down* rather than than the stops the jokes altogether.

Probably the Hotline Miami series. I'm really awful at real time hard games. Give me a turn based game and I'm great though!

Because they're being haters and it's the only ammo they have. I see people mention it for rappers all the time. "This popular rapper sucks! He doesn't even write his own lyrics!"

I would argue that within rap, it's much more of a cultural transgression to not write your own lyrics and piggyback off of someone else's work.

Think about it, rap is seen as one of the few ways out of the hood. People pour everything they have into rap, and when they see someone become hugely successful off of someone else's songwriting, there's a sense that they're more than just fraud artists, they're fraud people that cheated to get ahead of everyone else and escaped hard times when so many other artists are putting the work in and can't get out.

Obviously there's people in every genre of music that use it to "get out" of their poor circumstances, but rap as a genre is born from a group of people that have been historically oppressed and have had few, if any, accessible pathways to escape their circumstances.

I didn't really like it much and won't watch it again, but that's a lot better than I feel about Hor 2 and Iron Man 2. The Hulk was also bad but not as bad.

Yes, their bbq is not good. I did go for their chicken sandwich and liked it. (their creamed corn is fire too) And damn you're probably right about them being worse than CFA as far as bigotry is concerned

Yeah the creamer corn is an userrate side at all bbq joints I think.

Fucking Bill Miller's though. I live in Austin and a friend suggested we go there one time and I couldn't believe it. Any random food truck on the side of the road is probably better.

It's not a crime if it's staged, silly.

I was waiting for someone to point this out lol

We just spent an entire decade promoting the dadbod, I think it's safe to say that fat men are accepted as attractive now.

Bill Millers has a better chicken sandwich tbh. And probably less bigotry

Bill Millers is the McDonald's of bbq, why are you even retaining going there? An be honest, it's a bbq here in Texas, you know damn well there's like 90% chance they're more bigoted

I can usually predict which types of foods and which places are most likely to set me off. Fried chicken and potatoes are typically safe. Fast food versions slightly less so. Chikfila, never.

Honestly, it very well might be the location you go to. I have actual GI issues, and chick FIL a is extremely easy on my system. As a matter of fact, taco Bell's fine on my system as well. Most of the time people complain about fast food places giving them GI issues, I just assume it's a poorly run location or anything spicier than flour is enough to set them off.

also ive said it before:

"nothing good will come from social media"

slightly different from CE's "social media was a mistake"

really guys, let this just be an example: nothing good will ever come to you from any of your posts on social media.

I increase the hits that my articles get by posting them to my social media.

Social media is only what you put into it and take out of it. There's plenty of negatives, sure, but there's also plenty of positives. Instead of calling out his enemies, this kid could have focused his socials purely on his art like 99% of successful artists today. Just because he chose to use it poorly doesn't mean great things could have been achieved if he used it otherwise.

I watched it and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't great, but it was a fun globetrotting type action movie we don't get a ton of anymore. It was much, much more lighthearted and funny than I thought it would be, I was expecting with the tone of the Bourne Movies and got something more similar in tone to a Brosnan Bond flick.

I think you'll find that animated characters back in the day looked identical too. Like people give the new she ra art style crap but look at the old she ra:

It is just that cartoons made back then just hit differently and it is hard for me to put into words why.

Cartoons hit differently then because you were a child seeing action cartoons for the first and didn't care about how janky the animations were or how often they reused and recycled everything. Now you're an adult whose seen a million cartoons and are much less likely to be impressed by what you see and aren't even the target audience.

I think.. I think you may need to be a hip hop head

I mean I'm not a hip hop head and knew what it meant. I've just done an okay job keeping up with slang as it comes out. It's pretty easy, but it's not like I actively seek out new slang, I just absorb it as I hear it, so I could understand someone not knowing what it meant.

That wasn't very cash money of him.

Oh yeah, everyone has their things, but the impression users around here give off is that a person could be absolutely perfect but if they did even a single thing the user didn't slightly like then they're horrid people.

It's less than me so I'll say it's fine lol

Well, the daddy turnoff for me is because I have daughters.

But otherwise I agree with you. Guys here complain about hair color, tattoos, nose rings, etc

Dudes around here have a laundry list of items that will make them turn their noses up at girls, which makes a lot of sense considering that poll a while back where most of the board admitted to being virgins.

I get what you mean but idk if Id classify him as SoundCloud rap the genre just cause he was on SoundCloud. When he was alive he was high in charts and constantly surprised people because they couldnt label him.

Soundcloud rap doesn't mean that it was only big on Soundcloud. There's tons of rap on soundcloud that isn't soundcloud rap. Soundcloud rap just got named that because it was the biggest style to come from the platform, and plenty of soundcloud rappers charted.

lol no

Not only did he die way too young with an output that was honestly mostly bad, but the soundcloud rap genre itself is pretty dead now too. He was popular, I'll give him that, but the only thing that will make him a legend is some yet-to-exist rapper becoming a legend themselves after basing their own sound on xxxtentacion

What gets me is people who miss the entire point of the movie or a scene. Like what the hell did you just think you just watched.

I'll watch a show about how wild ambition ruined this guy's life, and someone will say yep, a man's gotta have ambition.

Lmao I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm watching Peaky Blinders for the first time and I sometimes feel like I'm watching a different show than others.

I love the show, but I feel like tons of folks out here think that Tommy Shelby is someone to look up to and emulate. Don't get me wrong, Tommy's a great character and cool as shit but the show goes out of its way to constantly push the narrative that Tommy is a broken man whose gang lifestyle and massive ambition has only resulted in everyone he loves dying around him. He advances in society and gets wealthier every season, but he's more and more a shell of himself as well as he looks back on the trail of dead loved ones his ambition has left in its dust.

then you gave a bad example to support your point, because it's supported directly by the content of the work without considering intent.

writers can fail to achieve what they intended, and they can put things in unintentionally. you can't actually know if a given implication is intended or not unless you personally wrote it

We know what the writers intended because those involved with the show confirmed that will is gay. personally writing something is far from the only way to understand author intent.

Punished_Blinx posted...

I think the most baffling one is when people feel personally insulted if a character dies or goes through some sort of change they dislike.

The one that gets me is when people say it's bad writing if a character does something dumb, when all it takes is one look out your window to see that people are out in the world making poor decisions all the damn time.

Is this actually a problem the average person even needs to worry about? I have no idea about statistics related to harassment, but I'm quite sure the chance of being unjustly murdered by cops is somewhere in the vicinity of winning a very undesired lottery.

How does one become so willfully ignorant about police brutality in America?

It has annoyed me for years how people constantly insist on "Show, don't tell." I always think about how the first sentence of Pride and Prejudice wouldn't exist if Jane Austen had followed this creative writing "rule."

Too many people don't understand that show don't tell just means you should flesh a scene out a bit more rather than just writing "John was mad," while also not understanding that sometimes you just need to write "John was mad."

Writing "rules" aren't rules, they're just building blocks that you need to work out and strengthen and once you have that done then you bend and twist and experiment with your words.
