  • I have a distant family member that illegally entered the US with her young child and used a stolen SSN and identity early on to gain employment.

    Now that she’s got her green card, she’s fully in the “fuck everyone else, I got mine” camp. She cries about illegal immigrants and crime from people coming from her home country.

    It’s legitimately insane to watch someone absolutely stop giving a fuck because they’ve got fiscal safety and security because they broke all the same laws during a democratic administration that was helping Latino immigrants.



  • You’re looking at this objectively as a medical practitioner…which is understandable, but way off.

    What’s happening here is not even in the world of psychiatric or psychology based therapy.

    This is 100% Christian religious based bullshit “therapy”. This can be done in Colorado with an “equivalent” graduate degree.

    Even worse is if you’re engaged in the practice of “religious ministry” you don’t have to comply with any of the states licensure requirements as long as you don’t advertise or yourself as “licensed”. So in reality this “faith based therapist” probably is just some random person that works or volunteers at the church.


  • What else would they do? It’s either cheer or boo.

    If they had got up and left en masse they’d write that.

    If they started a riot, then they’d write that.

    Seriously does everything need to be spelled out for you word for word?

    It feels like if they had explicitly wrote “they then cheered for Walz” you’d be in here questioning the applicability of the word “cheered” based on the number of people cheering, the exuberance of their cheers, and the length of which the cheer was sustained.



  • As a US citizen if he ever stepped foot in the US he would be immediately extradited to either the UK or Romania for his outstanding allegations.

    A lot of modern countries have extradition treaties so he’d have to go to somewhere like Russia if he wanted to remain free if he fled.

    He also would lose access to a lot of modern banking systems and likely be deplatformed completely if he ever ran from his current charges.




  • It’s crazy to me that there were people truly out there in the world talking firmly out of their ass saying that Russia’s current and last gen fighters could go toe to toe with their counterparts in the US Air Force. All you have to do is look at pictures like this and you can see almost zero corrosion control and preventative maintenance is performed on their most important aircraft in the fleet.

    Makes you question what the hell all their maintainers are doing each and every day while these things sit around and rust. I imagine the only time they get any tlc is when they get rolled out for photo ops or fly overs for VE day.







  • In the time it would take the current Russian defense industry to build and deploy one of these new missile ships, Ukraine could build and deploy a thousand of these little RC Boat Bombs from 1/1000th the cost.

    They’re literally making these boats out of rebuilt engines and 3d printed parts. Russia won’t recover from this war in our lifetime as long as they embrace Putin style leadership.


  • Yeah, but the Airman know what people mean when they ask, because no one else knows what an Air Force Specialty Code is outside of us.

    I usually just dumb it down if a Marine or Soldier asks my Mos and say that I was in IT because I’m not sure that they can handle any words that aren’t acronyms.



  • That’s a pedantic way to answer a question that you understand the purpose of, but are choosing to answer it hyper literally. So, I’ll respond hyper literally. You don’t remember anything about before you were born because you weren’t there to experience it. You’re recalling scientific theories and stories passed down through the years about historic events that took place before your birth.

    The question again since you want to be hyper literal is “what do you remember about ‘your life’ before you were born?”. It’s a thought experimemt to make you think about the totality and finite of nothingness.
