There are some choice loving submissions in there. Why the hell do so many say "In God We Trust?" That's not the state motto.

Edit: And putting the seal on the flag is weak poo poo. Looking at you, all the other lazy-rear end states that did it already.

The one where they listen to Dolly Parton's "Jolene" is also pretty choice.

This has been one of the things I've been watching on youtube lately...people reacting to music/movies I like, who claim to have never heard/seen them. It's a nice time waster. I've gotten a kick out of these guys a couple of times, but hadn't seen the Phil Collins video.

So I will readily acknowledge that a couple of young black kids have probably never heard any Phil Collins or Genesis before. However, at the risk of being an curmudgeon, I can’t stand people pretending to “react” to things for YouTube views, which is what most of the videos in the category are.

There's definitely a bunch of trash out there.

I don't give a gently caress. I went to deid in 2012 and passed along micaps to SW Asia for 6 god damned years. I walked in hallways that had his smug grin right next to Obama's. It was 4 years after his promise to pull everyone out and he plays a gotcha where it's just Iraq and just in time for Christmas. So my fuckin seats get bumped for that lovely PR move and WE ARE STILL THERE. Nah dude, this poo poo is primal. No joke I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN.

My hot take is that while I worked mad hours there, Deid was probably the best location in CENTCOM I've been to save maybe ADAB, and also there has been a massive buildup of forces in CC lately in every place that is not Iraq/Afghanistan. Maybe an isolationist-mode support of the current president pays off and people never go back to AUAB, but boy I've got doubts!

I deployed to loving Curacao and I'll say that AUAB and ADAB were better in most ways.

Edit: I went drinking with friends and almost missed my rotator out of the deid because (before drinking) I read the bus schedule wrong.

It felt like it was really nice about 30 years ago. Then nobody fixed or cleaned anything afterwards.

Haven't been, but I can kind of see myself being the type to like such a weird place because 1: pretty chill just hanging out by myself with podcasts and 2: There is almost nothing better than stepping into the ocean and then swimming/floating around for hours. My friends have made it clear that if they find out I die one day while swimming or kayaking in the ocean, their response will be "figures."

There's no reason to go there. Half the island is privately owned, and half of what's left is the kind of place you shouldn't go after dark. The remainder is overpriced, even for the Caribbean. The diving isn't even that great most of the time.

Everything good about Curacao is better and probably cheaper elsewhere.

I literally copy and pasted Joe Biden's plan from his website.

But thank you for making my point that no one is going to read that mass of poo poo you just posted vs 5 bullet points

I absolutely LOVE that we're having the exact same discussions we had in 2016, because the Democrats have the learning ability of honeybees.

It's absurd to me that the Dems continue to fail in stupid and preventable ways. You know how you compete with Trump's easy-to-read bullet list? You allot another $5 a month for bandwidth on your website and make your own loving bullet list where each bullet is a link to an in-depth explanation. You plaster it all over social media. You get the loving Lincoln Project to push it. drat near every dumbfuck advantage he has can be negated or at least challenged, but the national Democrats have no idea how to interact with "normal" people and it's going to bite them and us in the rear end again.

facialimpediment posted:

Actually, it's on the Biden Website! When PeterCat dumped the whole site's text, it stripped all the bullet points and bolding. It's actually pretty easy to read and full of bullets! The bullets are just followed by things like words and ideas.

An example of many: https://joebiden.com/clean-energy/


Here's the problem: Trump's information fits in a tweet. To get to Joe's, I have to scroll halfway down the homepage, then scroll horizontally to see if there's an issue I'm interested in, click to that page and scroll halfway down to get to his bullet statements (which are paragraphs, not simple one-liners). If I actually want to commit 10 minutes to reading about an issue, ok. But if I'm like 90% of this country and I have the attention span of a goldfish, forget it.

The details need to be there, absolutely. But there needs to be something to grab people, to get their attention. If I'm reading Biden's detailed explanation of position, it's because I'm probably already leaning his direction. He needs to ATTRACT people, too.

I realize most people here don't like Obama. That's fine and you're not wrong for disliking him for the reasons that get brought up here from time to time, but you're really dumb if you think Obama is PNG'd in the black community because the DSA doesn't like him. Hell even outside the black community, he is still insanely popular. It shouldn't really shock anyone that some people still look to him for any sort of guidance despite how anyone here might feel about him.

Look at our other surviving elder statesmen. Obama's the best option in this situation.
