Yet it’s neither a web nor a forum. Curious.

I guess I meant fully backed? I’m referring to the thing Biden didn’t do when he had the chance, to prove how pro-union he is.
God, imagine if Biden had backed the railroad unions… Ahh, what might have been.
I played Apples to Apples once and I was the asshole trying to play the game for real, lol
To be fair, it was a video game aimed at children to teach them how to be good soldiers during a time when the US was entering a deeply unpopular war under false pretenses.
Around the same time there were all sorts of lawsuits surrounding video games and their effects on children, so maybe it was a double whammy.
Regardless of any claims for or against violent video games, the Army shouldn’t be recruiting like that.
Wasn’t it a guy responding to a vehicle accident and he credited America’s Army for teaching him about triaging patients? I think it stuck in my mind for the egregious click-baity headline.
Are you serious? I just told you.
Thank you. Now, insofar as it concerns apostrophes (he said pedantically), couldn’t it be argued that the tools we have at our immediate disposal for making ourselves understood through text are simply inadequate to express the depth of a thought? And wouldn’t it therefore be more appropriate to condemn the lack of tools rather than the person using them creatively, despite their simplicity? At what point do we cast off the blinders and leave the guardrails behind? Or shall we always bow our heads to the wicked chroniclers who have made unwitting fools of us all; and for what? Evolving our language? Our birthright?
No, I say! We have surged free of the feeble chains of the Oxfords and Websters of the world, and no guardrail can contain us! Let go your clutching minds of the anchors of tradition and spread your wings! Fly, I say! Fly and conformn’t!
…
I relinquish the pedant stick.
Sounds like you were the correct amount of high. It’s the only way I get that introspective.
Okay then, I’m being performative. I feel better about myself, thanks.
It’s so weird that so many people are calling being accommodating in such a small way “performative” or whatever! I think some people just can’t handle change and blame others for it.
I have these conversations all the time and I’m so amused by them, because everyone has wildly different stories.
For my part, 3 ships, all small boys. In the early 2000s we would put socks, undershirts, and skivvies in laundry bags to be taken to ships laundry, where the Ship’s Servicemen (SHs) would use industrial washers and dryers to do entire berthings worth of laundry at a time. That’s why all uniforms had to be stenciled, they would mostly be thrown in together and then sent back to the right berthing to be divvied out by the compartment cleaners that day.
You could take your chances with your civilian clothes, but for the most part we would go in search of laundromats and cleaning services during port visits.
By the 2010s ships laundry was used mostly for coveralls, and a portion of the space was carved out for individual washers and dryers. I think we had 4 or 5 washers/dryers for the ~280 crew, then a set for the wardroom and a set for the chiefs mess.
And every death is feeding, every missed callout is feeding, not playing support is feeding… No TP? Believe it or not, feeding.
Not only that, but there are so many variations and ways to modify your equipment that it takes a while to really figure out. Every time I go back out of curiosity it ends up being the same colors and numbers game, so I get frustrated and quit.
Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!
What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?
It’s in this article: “The couple asked the waiter several more times to be absolutely sure the food would be allergen free before Tangsuan ordered a fritter, scallops and onion rings, the lawsuit said.”
That’s a question worth getting high over. I’ll need to ponder this.
“Not me, officer, I’m… Borodymyr Kraszynski.” I’m imagining a huge fake mustache.
Thing that he didn’t do was fully back the union in the way that I meant. No schedule changes, no predictability, no sick days. No alarm at what is apparently a nationally vital resource being run poorly by people whose sole motivation is shareholder profits.
The concessions they got were paltry in comparison and it’s honestly fucking shameful that we treat people this way.
