I mean, that matters in terms of domestic law.

are uniformed band members noncombatants, the dumbest thread in the history of forums

So the underhanded bit is that they were in a naval review that included the US. But the ships from that event didn't attack the Iranian ship AND it wasn't attacked during the exercise.

While it was far away from Iran, it was pretty close to Diego Garcia.

Isn't it?

WW1 cruiser rules discourse has returned.

It is hammering home a “everyone hates submarines” point though.

I have real bad news for you about what constitutes a “noncombatant” and you aren’t going to like it.

Unloops you Fruit

Nope.

“Roughly” here is code for an entirely different thing.

This is what I mean, calling OIF "The Gulf War" to call Platner a "Gulf War veteran" is rapidly getting into three fingers territory. Not Gulf War 2, "The Gulf War." And this is a guy who claimed to be a veteran, who then obliviously shared a link to a Gulf War vet hat thinking it showed OIF awards.

We sent our version through Boot Camp.

I will studiously not comment on qualifications for office.

So the issue I have is that this is obvious, edge-lord behavior. On the one hand, I think it should just be beyond the pale to have a Nazi tattoo. On the other hand, I also know him and people like him. It’s a lot shorter distance to stupid.

Corsairs are mine due to family relevance.

Black Widows are just cool man. Your grandfather was obviously a baller.

before I got into professional analytics work (in 2020) I was a believer in the "technosurveillance state" or whatever, that like, Capitalism was collectively surveilling us and inferring all of our actions with basically magic AI tech

it was disillusioning to learn that wasn't real (and it's not)

“Words have meaning.”

“Well what if they don’t?”

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

There's a lot here. But the logical flaw is that the 2007 Marine Corps tattoo policy change that grandfathered in currently serving Marines would not have applied to Platner once he left active duty and then tried to come back. He would have been subject to the new reg barring forearm tattoos.

I believe it is still under-priced.

Yup.

Aside from this, we got really good at grief. Too good.

That looks great!

Apropos of nothing, but this is why my Makers of Postmodern Strategy idea needs to happen.

No they are keeping the money. This is business speak for keeping those refunds.

Yeah this is unacceptable.

This feels like early 2020 where the extremely online people were kind of aware about what was going to happen. Then the Gobert incident and then the NBA cancels the season and the average person was like “wait what the fuck”

What’s it gonna be this time?

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

Did…did they not take a headcount?

But the markets are behaving as if they were the same.
