Hot Karl Marx posted:Well wasn't it only a week notice that they wanted to bring some armoured vehicles into DC? Seems like a short amount of time for something that looks like a logistical nightmare Yes. IIRC there's absolutely zero armored/tracked vehicles in the immediate area, let alone any of them that are parade ready. I can't think of a single post within 100 miles that houses an armored combat unit, it's all headquarters and logistics. Some poor battalion commander got told with less than a week's notice they need to miracle up a handful of parade ready vehicles and transport them, an act that usually takes months of coordination, to DC - a region that does not have any sort of dedicated logistics crew for handling tracked vehicles.

They closed the metro entrance this morning for an hour and a half and moved all screening to the main lobby. There were buckets all over the hallways in the E wing because water was coming down so fast (and sideways!) it started going into the AC inlets.

I think the people that will be salty about criticisms towards the president for decorum reasons are the worst of the bunch. You can't say that, he's the president! gently caress you, this is America, the whole point is that you can say the president is a fuckup without worrying about the goddamn secret police coming for you.

Milo and POTUS posted:There's no way the republican end game doesn't involve snapping up citizens and shipping them off regardless of citizenship status or where their people are originally from, correct EBB posted:Somebody's buying a piece of the farm if they come for my wife. I'm getting an eye at least. This was literally one of the primary drivers for my ex to cut and run. She didn't feel safe in the country anymore and fuckin' bailed back to the mountains of Lebanon. Her argument "I know how this happens" and like less than a year later we've got citizens getting detained in camps "by accident".

The most unrealistic part of the second Sicario movie was (spoilers I guess) that the entire operation halted and discontinued because the bad guys were found out to be American citizens. For an incredibly unrealistic movie totally not about this administration they absolutely hosed that one up. This administration will use any justification and hand wave away any possible reasons and nobody can stop them.

The fact that white evangelicals make up 10% of the population but 25% of the voting population in 2018? 2017? should tell you all you need to know about what happens when demographic changes are a reality. People will cling on to power and grow more extreme.

The only way I could see myself quickly paying off my very modest ~50k in student loans (that will be more like 65k when paid off, thanks interest) is to drop my cost of living down to practically zero , AND getting an extremely well paying job. Because if you don't do both of them, you're going to be paying those loving things off for a long time. If you live in the middle of nowhere, marry someone as equally financial frugal as yourself, or have assistance from family it's doable. I live in a high CoL area because I needed it to get a high paying job. Funny how that works. So after I pay off the rest of my credit card debt, the loans are next in line.

Paying off school and/or having free university would in fact have a considerable impact on retention and recruitment. Big Army has basically given up the idea of recruiting out of any places that have a 15 dollar minimum wage, from a readiness perspective anyway. They'll still send recruiters out there to push that stone up the mountain one last time. Perhaps, and I'm just going out on a limb here, we shouldn't use the concept of a free or significantly reduced education (something that the rest of the civilized world has) as a carrot for our armed forces.

As a fun bonus if you have multiple loans, go look on the FSA website and see how your money is distributed under the default settings. I had a loan for 600-ish dollars (it was a top-up of some other thing, I think) that by default had 8 dollars a month allocated to it. I paid it off over two months when I noticed that.

We absolutely won't be reducing the number of positions that previously required a high school diploma but now require a bachelors. High school education is a total loving joke now and while I'm not exactly claiming that another 4 years magically fixes it, if we're going to somehow mandate/encourage HS level education for more jobs you're gonna have to do some serious education overhaul in the process. Plus you'll get plenty of pushback since it's also a class thing, but that has largely shifted to 'needs a graduate degree for the good white collar jobs'.

I would be overjoyed if we actually switched to a vocational college (with apprenticeships) / university system because it would solve so many issues related to post-secondary education. It's absolutely stupid how the divide exists now.

I know I'm speaking from my white collar, beltway bubble over here but we don't hire people with just HS diplomas. Period. The person that runs the front office at reception on every floor? That person has a four year degree. And on the consulting side, people with only a bachelors are lower labor that *for most fields* will top out at what someone with a graduate degree comes in at often enough. It's pretty crazy.

It started as a bit taken from WikiHow on 'how to give your cats pills' (with the crack ping) which was then photoshopped to Trump's head being forced to take the pills, crack ping, and then staring at a mcnaughton painting.

I think Warren is still the best policy person by far, and probably the best candidate to run this shitshow, but I still don't think she's going to win it. I am however glad that she's been crushing the debates and support has increased accordingly.

I was gonna make a quip about how European hate groups use the confederate flag because their own colors are illegal but then I remembered that Pepe exists and is functionally the same. Then I also realized that eventually they'll go back to saying the loud part in public and it won't matter.
