This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.

I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”

I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”

Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.

Technically the triangle just refers to ‘relationships’ and not ‘romantic relationships’ so two male friends and one female love interest works as a triangle but one woman with two male strangers doesn’t with because that’s just a V.

A lot of prior military folks will use males and females just because that’s how it’s been drilled into them. Male and female latrines, not men and women’s bathrooms. Male and female barracks, not men and women’s dorms. Male and female standards, etc etc.

I have shorts, made by a company Pistol Lake that’s unfortunately no longer in business, that has a phone pocket inside the pocket with a snap closure.

Now, one, it perfectly fits my G100 and, two, the rest of the pocket is gigantic. Like, full size Nintendo Switch in there with wiggle room but my phone doesn’t move.

So, this may be silly but, see a tailor about adding a pocket if your clothes are baggy enough for it.

The Zero Suit is looking pretty baggy in this picture for some reason.

No, they killed the hostages and left. If they tried to hold up, and maybe go for a prisoner swap, there’d be more people at risk.

Not claiming Hamas is good but if there’s no resistance, they don’t kill as many people while finding the bodies.

They’re not trying to protect the ‘innocent’, they didn’t want the IDF gunning them down. When they saw the news about the IDF laying waste to everyone, they said “Fuck that,” killed the hostages and left.

Warfighting 101, that’s why you don’t go scorched earth for your hostages. If you make it a smart move to just kill them, they’ll just get killed…

Granted if you’re not looking for the hostages but looking to make your opponent look more inhuman, well, in that case great idea.

Hey, don’t blame us. YOU dated him.

Like, seven billion of them. Assuming half the world is below average of your expectation of things, that’s 3.5 billion people.

Is that what the Israeli forces said to the children they gunned down?

You never watched Everybody Loves Raymond? Frank told the truth about… Most things at least. I just channel that.

You can have the worst day of you life and still have good vibes. The real toxic saying would be “good moods only.”

That’s why I prefer “to be frank” or “to be blunt.” Same implication but without that possibility.

I mean, stupid teenage boys will spend what money they have to hang out with their friends… So, it’s a viable audience.

But you didn’t hang your towel up before pressing the button.

I believe Adams himself considered each different medium to be “it’s own story” though just as he added and changed things from the radio play for the book, he also added and changed things in the movie screen play… When he was involved in it. I’m not going to pretend it was all his work but it was it’s own thing.

I understood them all just fine… Still poor pacing. The first movie was basically half buildup for the second half’s continuous action. Two and three both suffered from the abrupt slow down after the action scenes that I personally feel never really got “better.”

I mean, I’ve got them all so I’m not going to pretend they’re as bad as other movies that we pretend didn’t get sequels but they just worse than the first one.

That said, I would regularly rewatch a cut that was just all the action scenes.

In one exchange, Sgt Schultz said he “wished he could be Jason Bourne” in reference to the fictional spy character.

After being promised more money from his handler, he said in another message: “I hope so! I need to get my other BMW back!”.

Unless the Army repo’d his Beamer, I’d assume no. He was just bad with money and delusional.

Imagine a neapolitan ice cream. You’ve got three flavors, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. So you dig in and find out that it’s dyed shit. Pink shit, white shit, and… Brown shit. It’s all shit, right?

Kidding, the script and directing was the worst. Each individual actor could not be the worst because the writing and directing were all of them. All three flavors of shit.

He did perform it differently and it lacks everything that makes Kevin Hart a decent watch.

But, honestly, not the worst part of the movie.

Americans own piles of guns. Russians drink themselves into the ground. Rich people the world over pay for ‘exotic’ hunting trips to shoot endangered animals. All of these things are bad.

The Japanese aren’t the only ones clinging to outdated traditions despite controversy.
