Inevitably you'll start making videos for the dudes who never shut up about how they were the last hard troops, ie the Lance Corporal of Marines from the 90s. That's just where the algorithm inexorably pulls you.

Weird the things you remember. They were all super nice and being that I was in the battalion that did all the perimeter security for BIAP at the time there was some extra photos taken with us that I never got a copy of.

The WWE did the Christmas in Baghdad in 2003 so I got to do a meet & sign with a bunch of wrestlers. Big Show's helmet was a regular helmet with an extra strip of Kevlar fused down the middle. Steve Austin made half a can of long cut disappear into his lip like a magic trick.

Jacket fits but she hasn't updated her ribbon rack since AIT, what the fuck.

I'm bad at editing, you get the gist.

It was a Saturday afternoon show from the jump and pitched as belonging to the Xena and Hercules, while Firefly was time slotted on Friday nights, targeting nerds with nothing else to do on a weekend, contributing to the nerd persecution complex tied to the show.

Poasts don't count.

"How should we approach naval warfare?" is a complicated question without, like, some kind of formal expression of hostilities.

At least. Side A is all bangers.

I will not apologize for my 90s rock. This album is a legit no-skips record.

Our church is putting on a weekend long event for students, and Mrs Otters and I are hosting the college band that's leading worship. Time to introduce the youts to some proper 90s rock.

Stinks that Williams got that yellow card for in from the side instead of LRZ for tripping. Louis in the bin is a much smaller loss for Wales. #IREvWAL

My Xanga has no business showing up on modern social media.

I don't have anything against the cast, or even against the (mediocre to my eyes) show. It's a perfectly cromulent sci-fi show. The persecution complex the geek community adopted regarding said show I have issues with...well, that and its showrunner, who I think is a pretty wretched person.

No, I agree, the seal of approval from the state legislature was a suitable stand-in of a candidate's bona fides. Absent that, we're stuck with plumbers and mercenaries-turned-oyster farmers backed by giant piles of dubious money running for the upper legislative house. I think that's a bad thing.

Fair, but an upper chamber lawmaker without a degree of any kind? Would you let an electrician do anything to the wiring in your house without some card saying something attests h they're competent at it? Article 1 section 3 of the constitution was put there for a reason.

What are the goals of OEF II: Electric Boogaloo?

Note: not literal zombies, more like highly manipulable entities with no agency except to fulfill the whims of powerful men.

So much of modern geek culture is due to the very unhealthy obsession with this specific 1-season sci-fi ensemble-cast version of Brisco County, Jr., from the guy who is obsessed with super-powered women...who constantly get turned into zombies and treated like shit by men.

If Colin Powell were alive he'd be very upset.

By this logic, I could see them sending in enough airborne troops to secure an airport, which will be used to supply the troops that keep the airstrip open, to land supplies to the airstrip defenders, on and on and on forever.

The market has never been a rational actor.

The Iraq drop zone ended up being secured by SOF but 173rd proceeded with the jump anyway. It is a contentious mustard stain.

It's a film that is eternally relatable because it turns the global madness into the backdrop for the "should I text my ex?" struggle every adult has at some point in their lives.

All AI models are prone to hallucinations because the three biggest sources of non paywall material to consume are pron, white supremacist material, and people projecting their anxiety and personality disorders onto social media platforms. Those AIs are being set up to fail.

Nor for a conflict our representatives have punted on authorizing.

In a just world, there would be some amendment limiting the president's pardon power to prevent them from pardoning their own cabinet and family. Let's make the White House a little less mobbed up with an escape clause.

[Lizard brain: If they impeach, there will be a trial. She knows things that can implicate me. It'll show that I'm vulnerable to the same treatment. It'll be right before midterms that I need to stay in power]
Result: You're fired. Here's a cushy job. I'll pardon you later when the fuss dies down.

True "we're paratroopers; we're supposed to be surrounded" has never been tried.
