The strictest, most fundamentalist Muslim I personally know is Japanese. His parents were native Japanese citizens but worked in one of the Soviet -stans(I forget which one off the top of my head) and converted there, and he was raised part there and part in Japan.

That reminds me, isn't it widely believed that Kim Jong-il was born somewhere in the Soviet Union or Russia?

I went from, "yeah, that's a little obnoxious, but processed foods are generally cheaper than their healthier alternatives, and at least he admits he's too lazy to make his own healthy food," to, "gently caress you, you lazy, miserable, piece of trash. Oh you're a veteran too, good for you. I'm so happy that you choose to claim your opinions as 'someone who enlisted,' so that your awfulness gets associated with everyone else who chose to serve, in some sort of appeal to authority that is just loving flaccid. You're so far up your own rear end that you're in danger of choking on your loving head."

He's like a perfect storm of obnoxious, every single thing he could do to piss me off, he nails. At least only his wife is giving him 'pity likes' on some of his worst stuff

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

There seems to be a bunch of stories all over this forum of fat, lazy, entitled arsehole military people.

I am not military myself, (never served, never will), but I don't understand it. I thought the military was supposed to beat that poo poo out of you, and give you discipline, and physical fitness etc.

lovely political opinions aside, how do fat lazy entitled people survive in the army/navy/whatever? Surely if the military lifestyle wouldn't harden them up, then the other people in their platoon or whatever would get tired of their poo poo very quickly and sort them out.

What do you think happens when you tell a large group of people, regardless of performance or merit, that every single one of them are heroes deserving of complete admiration and respect? It's the same thing that would happen to anyone who is constantly told how great they are by everyone they meet solely on the basis of Being A Thing.

As for "sorting them out", it's the same reason lazy shifters get by in any number of large organizations. It's a beauracracy. Personal accountability for anything is low (unless scapegoat is needed for something). Nobody cares so much that you aren't pulling your weight as long as you aren't directly making their life harder. It's easier to ignore you or make you someone else's problem. In short: nobody gives a gently caress. The only time the hammer really comes down is if someone is loving up in combat situations repeatedly. But most military members don't perform a combat role, and those who do and aren't hacking it can be just transferred into truck driving to keep loving up there instead.

Also to no one's surprise nepotism runs deep in the military and a lot of people get into positions they really shouldn't have, and wield power over people they shouldn't solely because they know a guy or are family.

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
I got given an actual, street sign-quality version of that for Christmas from my aunt about five years ago. I would've been 18-19.

I was a dead-quiet (for reasons of having nothing I'd really want to talk to family about), humble full-time student that only ever left home to go to school/university at the time, and wouldn't get a job that allowed me to move out until this year. But it strikes me as a bad gift for basically anyone, if not even worse when my parents decided it would be fun to hang it up in the daily path of my little sister who struggles to hold a consistent job due to depression.

I'm also pretty biased because I work in a zoo gift shop and we're getting 500+ teenagers with no supervision let loose each day right now and holy poo poo, do they ever gently caress things up. Give 50 teenagers 5 minutes in a gift shop and it will look like it was slammed by Hurricane Katrina.

Getting mad at teenagers for that poo poo is ridiculous and petty but... did you talk to any other teenagers when you were that age? They can be some arrogant mother fuckers once they get involved in their first few life philosophies. I know I sure as hell was.

The fact that you think it's any different from religious wear is the most vile fursecution. Would you tell someone they couldn't wear their yarmulke or hijab to an interview?

Actually there's probably no shortage of potential employers where that's unfortunately good advice. :smith:

You have a fair point comparing brony band to a religious garment. Though I'm all for persecution of furries and dudes who want to hump ponies.

I usually heard "I'm smarter than most adults I know" as the version of "know everything" when I was that age.

It's idiotic because the same generation going "well back in our day..." and such relating to stuff like that are the reason that today's youth can't easily do those things.

Youth unemployment is just ludicrous right now, entry level positions are drat hard to find, minimum wage is garbage, and the rent goes up every year.

But you know, it's teenagers' fault.

Considering how many adults are anti-vaxxers, Trump voters, or sovereign citizens, I wouldn't be surprised if there are plenty of teenagers out there who are smarter than a lot of adults. My company got two high school students through a public school internship program and they've had a better drive and performance in the office than many of the adults who have come and gone over the years here. There's a whole lot of incredibly stupid adults.

I think it's more like teenagers are at the age where they're starting to realize that their parents and authority figures aren't necessarily right about everything and begin questioning their decisions and knowledge.

More like teenagers get a little knowledge, but don't have the wisdom or experience to use that knowledge.

Proof they know everything - the knowledge that getting a roommate helps with bills and is a fiscally sound solution.
Proof they know nothing - all the terrible roommates everyone has in their 20's.
