SpazmasterX posted:One should point out that most deployments are voluntary and come with fat wads of bonus pay. Also you basically live for 9+ months with zero expenses outside of maybe something like car loan payments. Plus various other perks and ways to not spend any money. There are times you can get posted to places you want, but those are incredible rare, and most involve going to a specific base for training/school/etc. But the living on base and having most expenses paid for? Yeah that's a thing. There's also the racking up of funds when you're deployed and don't have a family back home.

karl fungus posted:"I'm not racist because I'm trans-black and I've been through the same thing as black people!" I'm curious, could you get around the whole appropriation thing by saying you're trans-[ethnic group] and would SJWs destroy you for it, or let it slide? Because it seems like either answer would condemn half of the SJW community at once. Like you could be a skinny white boy, but by claiming you're trans-gender, trans-fat, trans-african, would tumblr support you or not?

PresidentBeard posted:California gentrification center of the United States? Yes I'd say it is working fairly well for the sort of upper middle class to rich person who votes democrat there. Now Republicans would be just as bad or worse, but someone having to commute 45 minutes for a minimum wage job isn't "doing well". I don't know about you, but Downtown LA isn't being gentrified, it's just being lived in. These were all empty buildings that, suddenly, when you clean them up, people move in. Add on to the fact we re-installed our light rail system from DTLA to Santa Monica, Downtown actually became a viable place to live. Are they all hipsters? Yeah, but that just means I know where not to go in addition to Silverlake/Hollywood to avoid them.

Barfing Cumlord posted:What the gently caress is "newly" trans Considering the post was about RuPaul, I'd think it was really young people who just discovered trans and probably don't know RuPaul. The guy kind of had a point though. At least most of the trans communities I've seen are incredibly self-absorbed and sensitive, so I can see this kind of thing being an issue.

nucleicmaxid posted:I don't think he's a proponent of genocide? Merely an anti-Zionist, which is not necessarily related to antisemitism despite attempts to find links between them. It's the most likely result when you take away their defenses, considering the entire region would prefer them wiped from the face of the Earth. That's not to say I agree with their policies right now though.

Nikaer Drekin posted:http://taxfoundation.org/article/us-federal-individual-income-tax-rates-history-1913-2013-nominal-and-inflation-adjusted-brackets Thank you. I was going to post this. A Tea Partier I know was waxing on about how much better America was in 'the good old days' of the 50s and how taxes are Socialist/Gubmint taking all his money. THen I told him that he'd be taxed for about 2/3rds of his income instead of the 1/3rd he gets now. I got told I was a LIEbral. And people wonder why something like the Hoover Dam or the Interstate Highway System are things we could never do ever again.

TinTower posted:Happens with any woman who doesn't behave like the men in charge want her to. That said, well behaved women seldom make history. Maybe this is just me and the people I encounter, but I hear this statement a lot and it's generally said by the biggest assholes/douches/jerks to justify them being an rear end in a top hat/douche/jerk. It's not women only either. You just sub 'woman' with 'truth teller' and 'men' with 'The Man'.

^^Lactose intolerance doesn't work that way. As an aside, a kid in my son's class has such a violent nut allergy that we've been asked not to feed our child nuts of any kind before school, or even bring them to school as someone's peanut breath could send this kid into shock. He has a Epi-pen around his neck at all times and keeps a spare in his backpack. He's trying to be able to live a normal life, even going so far as having to fly on special allergen-free flights with other people like him so he can visit grandparents etc. If a child's life is worth less to you than peanut butter, I don't really know what to say. kannonfodder posted:Imagine if your life and body were threatened on a regular basis simply for existing as a different gender. But that wouldn't work at all. The dipshits and assholes would blame women even further because someone they hate took away something they liked. It would just exacerbate the problem. e:beaten B.B.

Slime posted:The stupidest thing is that eating pork is fine for them if they have nothing else to eat. So if they're trapped and the only thing to eat is a bacon sandwich, they can eat that. Just like they're allowed to eat during ramadan if they're elderly, or ill, or pregnant and suchlike. I'm pretty sure these people expect Muslims to die all Buffy-style when you shoot them with these bullets, so why would they even go so far as to read/understand the religion?

Elliotw2 posted:The average idiot just having made it out of boot camp will be making around $1500 every month, split into two pay checks, and don't have to worry about any bills except ones they choose to take on like internet or phone service. The average deployed idiot will make $1800 + hazard bonus and the income being completely tax free. They also get free housing and food, since they'd be housed in the barracks unless they're married, so overall they're getting paid way more than someone with a minimum wage job. When you calculate in the required lifted pickup truck, dip, and full collection of TapOut apparel, it does tend to eat into their monthly pay though.

Soviet Commubot posted:Welsh history is incredibly depressing, and I say this as a guy who lives in Brittany, whose history is also really depressing. Brittany's history is great. It's basically ~1500 years of giving the finger to any and everyone they could. There's even evidence their fishermen discovered the New World in the 8th or 9th century, but since the fish was so bountiful, they never told anybody and kept it a secret so no one would horn in on their racket. Also, they are still a semi-independent state with their own army, parliament, and language.
