Why do tvtropers dispense with the shortest first person singular subject pronoun in any written language, and choose instead to awkwardly write about themselves in the third person? :psyduck:

It was reasonably written and easy to follow, which is more than I can say for what "This Troper" keeps writing.

I hate how people don't realize inside jokes inherently, by their very name and nature, aren't funny to people on the outside. Like no one reads those jokes being like "Dang man lol I feel so left out I wish I could be in on that cool funny joke!!!"

Sinfest had this covered 16 years ago, almost to the day (:tinfoil:):

I'm not sure if these quick-form "pat me on the back for this pointless thing I did Internet strangers!" are worse than the long fake stories that go no where. I mean, I actually end up reading these, so that negatively affects me personally.

This is like in that Gene Wolf book, where there's a nation of people that speak the same language as their neighbors, but all 'words' have been replaced with phrases with many layered meanings that alter the way that language functions fundamentally.

Whoa double modpost. This must be some sort of holy thread.

Two mods have posted in succession on this page. This will bring you fame and fortune, but only if you post "Stay safe poverty mods" before the next page. Otherwise you will be cursed forever.

My personal "favorite" christian fundie movie has to be one where the Anti-Christ is played by loving Basil Exposition from Austin Powers.

Another had Mr. T in it, and I don't think he was doing it for the paycheck.

The one with Mr. T is Judgment, and is the only one I half-way watched. I don't remember much other than Mr. T being with some Christians who were being oppressed, also there was the Sign of the Beast they were refusing. It was in the background while I was doing something else.

Okay, maybe I missed it, but how did he find out his name was Jody? And how did he find his dad(I guess if you know which recruiting station and know the name, you can narrow the results down...)
At any rate, the biggest red flag to me was the 17 minute gap between telling him the recruiting post and the guy getting the call and reacting. That is probably fastest I've ever seen something get replied to and carried out. Military efficiency I guess

e: Like, I realize this is STDH, but there are so many plot holes

Hint: "Jody" is a term, not a given name.

But doesn't that cost the military more in dependent costs? Why would they promote something that costs them more?

Intentional or not, it is exactly this cost, namely the various benefits and liberties that come from matrimony, which promotes it regardless of whether the soldiers in question are ready for it.

I've known quite a few female anthropologists and heard many horror stories about the sexism rampant in that discipline, so I would actually totally believe a male anthropologist saying that when drunk. "If this goes on, I might not be able to sexually assault women during fieldwork!! :qq:"

Women don't know how good they have it trying to find any means possible of trying to feed their children whose father died in war.

Worse than death for the men is the knowledge that their widows automatically get full custody. :smith:
