lite_sleepr posted:Getting a DUI is inexcusable. Two? Drunk drivers kill people and ruin families. Yea, there was someone to call. Why would he call? After the first if he drank again (he never got off no-alcohol restriction) there's no reason for him to believe he wouldn't just get charged again, might as well try to make it home and hope his life remains together. I hate thinking about what happened to him. gently caress. I hate thinking about standing on that loving Colonel's office trying to explain to him that of course he loving drinks you've ruined his entire loving life, how bout sending him to get help and getting "no help, tough it out". I am glad he never got another person hurt though, that's a miracle. I just looked up the CO's linkedin profile and it looks like he retired instead of getting his star. gently caress him.

gently caress wsj. I had to change my address to that of another poor gently caress with the same name to get rid of it after my subscription trial. Poor bastard probably still gets it. They will never stop sending you their lovely paper even if you never pay for it.

I really hate this about your friend I guess there's something about being in the marines that engenders an attitude of fatalism. Being ordered not to drink is pretty stupid and not helpful. Being the marines I can only guess that if he went to the BAS or clinic and said "I'm a self-destructing alcoholic who medicates with booze for PTSD" he'd have been labeled a weak bitch or something else harmful and stupid. I believe at that point it would have been out of his chains command as medical are obligated to take action. It's only after the tragedy that folks look to what could have been done instead lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Mar 18, 2017 |

Stultus Maximus posted:Clearly there loving wasn't with that kind of CO setting command climate. A toxic command climate really does make people want to kill themselves, I don't know if this can be stressed heavy enough or the right people killed hard enough. One of the legacies of an amazingly lovely officer I had to work under but who got transferred off a line unit before the war started was a piece of poo poo who learned all the wrong things from him and caused a friendly fire incident, tried to cover it up, refused to take any responsibility then held a formation demanding we not talk about it to anyone like NCIS, and got sped to the rear before we could do anything to him. Oh and dudes having legit PTSD problems less than a month back in August or September of 2003 being called malingerers, so the fallout from that was fun to deal with. Fourteen years and there are days where it takes a tremendous amount of effort not to just say gently caress it, empty the bank account and hunt him down. Fortunately I'm usually broke. Was talking to someone from the old unit a week ago after another guy was suicidal, so that's all been coming back. Not even sure if I should have posted this but I'm angry as gently caress again and that's at least an emotion.

The sad part is that ultimately its not fixable since it'd require admitting that the military isn't actually full of the greatest people ever to live and leadership is in fact a giant cesspool of poo poo. The first important person to say this is going to get beaten to death by an angry mob of "WHY DO YOU HATE ARE TROOPS"

Stultus Maximus posted:Saw him before I deployed a few years back, figured I should do it once before it was too late. That's generally the perspective I take when I go to concerts. It's the reason I saw the Police at bonnaroo a decade ago, and John Paul Jones. I might not always like all of what I hear, but I might not have the chance again. Not sure at this point who I caught before they died, besides Whitney Houston. There's almost certainly more. Gordon Lightfoot is still alive, if he ever plays around Denver I'm getting tickets. Never saw Chuck Berry though.

Going from a hand me down vacuum to a brand new vacuum makes me feel like a dirty motherfucker. I just vacuumed Tuesday with the old one and again today with the new one and you wouldn't think I've vacuumed at all in the year and a half I've lived here with the amount of poo poo the new one picked up.

Anybody use sling.tv? Hulu is running dry on watchable material for me and I think I'm done with netflix aside from a spattering of things that are probably on amazon anyhow. I figure for $20/mo, it's a fair price for 30 channels, some of which I miss from the last time I had any form of cable, and cost comparable to hulu/netflix combined. Just curious if there's service issues or any hitches that might annoy the gently caress out of me later.

Neither of which I have. I use the xbox for everything besides antenna tv, and if they went through with their plans to make an antenna adapter for broadcast dvr, I'd probably buy it. That died a year or two ago though.

My girlfriend was telling me earlier tonight that she used to have a sling and she doesn't have one now. I forgot why she said she didn't like it because if you listen to your significant other you are a baby back bitch.

Its fine as long as the channel you are watching is not currently in high demand. Trying to watch football was hopeless.

One of the things I've been impressed with living so close to Mexico is how good mexican beer can be. Even their garbage swill is better than anything here in the states aside from MAYBE Highlife. Montejo, Modelo and Noche Buena are all pretty solid cheap poo poo
