If I remember correctly, someone once went down the rabbit hole of clicking on one of those links and documented the experience, and it was a maze of link after link that would make those AI bot trapping programs proud. If you actually got to an article, I'm blown away.

Don’t forget that many were drafted and lied to.

I'll give you that for vietnam... but even those fellas aren't around in any great numbers anymore. I'll even grant the first gulf war as a neutral, seeing as kuwait was invaded, but the politics around everything involved doesn't really leave any 'good guys.'

But anything since then? Fuck right off with that. My cousin went and joined up after 9/11, and it still is a mental fuck for him because he realized once he got there how idiotic the country was being to invade another with the idea of bringing freedom.

You had to be converted? I just did it as a kid because otherwise it wouldn't fit in the pot... Never understood any reason to do it any other way.

You forgot 67

I thought that was the most realistic part of the books. How many hundreds of years of people crying out against slavery did it take for chattel slavery to be abolished? Sure, it would also have been realistic for there to have been more people opposing slavery, but as an initial reaction? Society would absolutely shit on her out of inertia.

The battle lines, if people are convinced that there really is a 'fight' going on, will be between individual houses and apartments. I know that there are those among my neighbors who tracked what political signs were where... and they have no problem making their position known. We are too 'integrated' as a society to keep even a semblance of separation between conservatives, liberals, progressives, fascists, 'antifascists,' democrats, republicans...

and we have a lot more trigger happy yokels armed to the teeth (in civilian terms). It's going to suck. We can all hold out hope for the midterms, but fuck...

Your testicles drool? You might want to get that looked at by a doctor...

I don’t know (and I don’t want to know) if trump would ever even consider the art of cunnilingus. He seems the sort to want to be serviced as a god, not deign to care about the other party at all. The bubba thing would only be an initiation/hazing/forced blackmail event.

Gee, I wonder how that works out?

I've read some of the policies of my local law enforcement agencies, and some specifically say that shooting at a moving vehicle is stupid. I can't remember an exact quote, but it went something like 'it is more expedient to move out of the way of a charging vehicle...'

Me: doing my thing

God, visibly sweating and white-knuckling his desk as he watches on the computer monitor: No, no! Stop! Don't stretch it like that! I didn't design the desmosomes to last under that kind of pressure! Oh goooooood, stoooooop! Not the ammo box!
