One of my older junior Marines just messaged me asking if I know about Qanon. This guy used to be an enlisted intel Marine. Ugh.

the people who are vulnerable to it spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what is the best thing to do. not necessarily anal people, but anxious about their own worth, correctness, and ethicalness. some are compulsive do-gooders. it was essentially a troll laser-targeted on people like that, to give them the unwanted thought that actually all of their careful calculations about Effective Altruism and what-all might not matter at all, and that some unseen god had turned their attention on them and was displeased with their actions. they reacted to this fear in a very human way. and yes, very up their own rear end. read https://reducing-suffering.org/ for a sad laugh or two.

If something exists in the future that was going to gently caress with us here in the past, then wouldn't it have already happened? And also time travel isn't real? These people think they're smart?

These people think they're smart? It's even dumber than that; they're worried that the worldwide deadly communist gangster computer god in the year 40,000 will create copies of them, just to torture them for not helping the computer god exist in the first place. A bunch of "rationalist" nerds re-invented heaven and hell.

Yeah, consider the following: 1) They are going to run out of ventilators at the hospitals pretty soon. 2) There have already been triage guidelines set up to decide who gets them and who doesn't. 3) There's been a huge gun-buying spree among the American public. I think it's reasonably likely they'll be posting troops outside ERs across the country.

I'm on my last day of a two week quarantine at Fort loving Bliss after spending 9 months in Kirkuk. When I get back to Wainwright, no quarantine or COVID or Fairbanks / FWA pigs are going to stop me from getting blitzed out of my mind.

At the age of 20, Vienna Rose is retiring from porn after suffering abusive treatment and mediocre pay. And she hopes to achieve her lifelong goal of becoming a Jarhead. Edit I'm not posting this to mock her abuse in any means. It's terrible what she has gone through. I'm just shocked that after the very public career she had prior to this, she wants to try and serve in an extremely toxic and masculine environment with an obscenely high rate of sexual assault and rape. Good luck to her, but I would be shocked if this didnt end in tragedy for her. Chichevache fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Mar 29, 2020 |

She's from a small town, had apparently never been on a plane before she was flown out to LA to do porn, and she admits she made mediocre money. So she's basically back to square 1: poor bumpkin from Nowheresville. The military, for all its awfulness, is a ticket out of a dead-end town. There's no guarantee whatever you get will be any better than a dead-end town, but it'll get you out.

A very good portion of the kind of shitheads who join the military are never going to let you live down having done porn, or just being a woman in general. She chose to join the Marines which is going to be even worse culturally, and she told the media.

There is a decent chance that, given that she won't go by her adult film name, a lot of people won't even know about it in passing, although it's probable that some rear end in a top hat in her company will make sure to spread the news around locally. It's not like she was some big-name star.

It's not like she was some big-name star. They will absolutely find out. I know a currently enlisted dude who got a callsign because he was recognized from one appearance.
