Navy has said this is an independent organization and thus far doesn’t think any active Navy personnel or equipment was present.

But does have some killer kolaches at the Chech Stop

It's very funny to me that Slovacek's and Czech Stop are like.. across the highway from each other. Plus Gerik's in town. I used to drive through that area about once a month, and it was a natural stopping point both vehicle range-wise as well as snacks.

So, about that whole economic recovery things. Jobs report for July is out today. The estimated number of jobs created by opening up: 1.5m Actual: 0.167m

Yeah.... kinda like all those charts showing that restaurant attendance dropped to near-zero prior to state/local governments shutting them down, not the other way around.

This is from all the way back in March. There were some more dramatic examples later as covid swept south and west.

Hot Karl Marx posted:

he's still richer than 99% of the world

And this is still understating it by more than 3 orders of magnitude, if my morning napkin math is right. The average wealth of the top 0.01% of Americans sits around $371 million. So even at 10 billion, he'd be at ~27 times wealthier than the average wealth of the top 0.01% American, much less persons worldwide, given how wealthy America is as a nation.

Apparently it's not cool to hate on Kamala because of her voting record, and that it's a good thing she got picked because she's a woman of color, since that is the only qualification that some people needed to approve of Biden's running mate.

Well, there are a couple things at play:

1. Who the gently caress else do you vote for unless voting GOP because at the executive level, the US is explicitly a two-party system?

2. There are some very online Twitter types who apply purity tests that somehow always mean that maybe Yang and Sanders are acceptable and (maaaybe) Warren, but Harris and Rice and Abrams and Bass don’t work. This raises peoples’ :thunk: -o-meter.

3. The US in the 80s and 90s pretty much said the one way that it would allow women and especially women of color to rise in power was “toughness” tests. Hence so many military or law enforcement types succeeding in politics where others were less liekly.* Those who have succeeded lately despite that (AOC etc) are either literally too young or just too new to politics to be competitors for national executive office.

This stuff largely does not so strictly to local politics, go hog wild.

*I guess there was also the dynasty model, but find a political dynasty power couple that’s not similarly problematic.

Can’t tell if this is a joke about the senate being unable to reign in executive power or a joke about the VP having deployment authority or a joke that current POTUS was not an elected official back when OIF/OEF kicked off.

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!

Curacao is awful though

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."

This is the mirror image of DNC defenders (or simply annoyed progressives who wish Sanders et al were better campaigners) who say “you could have run a progressive who could get voters to vote for them.

But you didn’t.”

What the gently caress is with twitter and people replying to tweets with nothing but a loving kpop video?
I don't want to watch your loving kpop video if I did I would go looking for the kpop video.

Depending on the tweet, it's a form of trolling, just spamming fancams that don't relate to the tweet or in an attempt to co-opt the trend/theme/hashtag.

They think there will be clear battle lines, and anyone who doesn't want to be involved won't be dragged into it.

Even if this remains a statistically rare occurrence that’s the part that is just tragic for the every-person.

It can happen anywhere, for no great reason, and put bystanders in the ground. And that kind of fear and anxiety doesn’t tend to lead to the best reaponse. (See: school shooting responses and active shooters)
