I remember getting that call for my dad, and the drive there, and back.

Im so sorry.

I know you may have doubts about whether you are strong enough to do this. I did, but I was, and i believe you are too.

You dont have to do it all by yourself, even if you are alone in this. Talk to people, be frank about how you feel. Take some time for you when you can.

Thanks for the well wishes. She’s not going to make it. Sitting in an airport by yourself crying when you find out is not fun.

I’m so sorry man. Just keep posting if it helps. We’re all here to help and listen.

Also if you need help booking stuff let us know. No one should have to do that stuff when under such emotional stress.

Hey man I'm sorry to hear it. I know it's your mom right now, but my dad died back in 2014, and it was the event that really separated my life between BC and AD. The two years following were some of the worst I ever had, and I thought things wouldn't get better, but they did. Which I guess is why I'm saying all this. It's one of the worst things but you'll get through it to better times.

Not much of a current event, but I'm fighting a cold (waiting on test results to know if it's covid, but I'm feeling fine and I'm through the worst parts of it) and it's hosed my throat up. On the plus side, I sound like Duke Nukem. Anyone have any funny voice lines or overly dramatic movie trailer voiceovers they'd like to hear? Might as well get some mileage out of this while it lasts.

should have picked four fingers





Turning and turning in the widening gyre   

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Are full of passionate intensity.


Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.   

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out   

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert   

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,   

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,   

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it   

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.   

The darkness drops again; but now I know   

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,   

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,   

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

If my voice stays this way for a bit, I might give that a shot. It'll probably pass by monday, if this really is a cold. That and it hurts to speak for long stretches, but editing can fix that.

I posted that as a gag, but I giggled pretty hard at the opener when it gets particularly weird. I do wonder how nuts it would be in a celebrity reading, like Morgan Freeman or Christopher Walken.

We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1) A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market.

2) A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3) A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed.

4) A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode.

5) A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit.

6) A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed.

7) A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.
