My sister and friends: "Can't live off military pay? Your fault!"



The linked article refers to this original source: https://apnews.com/article/hunger-in-america-military-food-insecurity-142728bcb5479fd2de73750e11dbd458

Fitting quote from the article:

QuoteAlso, the internal military culture of self-sufficiency leaves many reluctant to speak about their difficulties, for fear they will be regarded as irresponsible.

The best part of the entire thing is just how fucking pathetic the sense of burden they think they are taking on.

Oh yeah dude, you are totally the breadwinner for all the poor and immigrants. You are the one keeping it all going, with your hard work and taxes.
I do wonder.
Speaking to some of this kind of person they do have a huge problem of comprehending scale and the meanings of big numbers. They often do seriously believe their $1000 in tax is a sizable portion of the government budget and really not all that small a percent of several billion.
Then of course there are those who know very well its a nonsense but like to egg on the ignorant and choose to repeat what they know is false for the greater good (read: bad)

You see the material we have to deal with here?


"There were three wise MEN not wise PEOPLE" 

This is not found in the Bible.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I'm pretty sure the Bible does not use the word PEOPLE or "theybie".  At least nothing close to that in my French Bible.  But who knows what monstrosities the Protestants invented?? 

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

The Bible calls them "Magi" (well it calls them something in Greek typically translated as Magi).  It comes from Zoroastrian priests.  I'm going to go out on a limb and say that in that era there were no female zoroastrian priests.

And that ignores a sizeable amount of Christian tradition about their identities.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

As I recall AD&D did have mechanics for mentors.

I can never forget everything that makes me mean. :weep:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

So they're seeing roles of one of the 3 wise men in nativities going to girls, as why not, who cares, and throwing a fit about pc gone mad?
