Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump defends the high price tag for his military parade: 'Peanuts compared to the value'23·4 days agoI’ve found Air Shows and AFB Open Houses to be WAY better at showcasing military assets and personnel to the public and driving recruitment. Military parades are pretty cringe.
Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Rebecca Shaw: I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down. But I didn't expect them to be such losers. English202·4 days agoLiving your life to impress other men by hating women is one of the most embarrassing things I can imagine. Looking up to any of these men for how to live your life is even sadder.
I’ve worked hard to keep these kinds of men out of my personal life, to keep them away from me, out of my goddamn sight. Now they are in my face daily, not only influencing the world for the worse but making me nauseous at how uncool and pathetic they are, on top of their other sins. It’s too much, I can’t take it, there needs to be a change.
It’s time for us to start getting revenge on the nerds.
Sounds to me like they crave attention more than anything, poor insecure past-neglected angsty man-agers they are. Depopulating their various platforms and reducing their viewership would be nice. Sucks that anyone at all would feel inclined to lend them their ears and eyes when there are far better alternatives out there.

Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain?8·4 days agoDo they actually say what “TGI” stands for? Is there some legal document that says its full name is “Thank God It’s Friday’s”? Maybe it actually stands for “The Grumpy Intestine Friday’s”.

Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Nearly 7,000 troops, tanks and parachute jumps: Army confirms military parade coinciding with Trump's birthday2·5 days agoI think someone can ask to resign, and officers may have a little bit easier of a time resigning a commission, but typically most service members are on a contract for a certain term of service. Quitting before the contract is up…I’m not certain it’s as easy as just quitting, based on posts I’ve seen in r/army.
Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Nearly 7,000 troops, tanks and parachute jumps: Army confirms military parade coinciding with Trump's birthday21·5 days agoAWOL - Absence Without Leave. A violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. May result in an Article 15 Hearing, AKA Non-judicial Punishment, or Court Martial. Confinement may be one of the resulting punishments. Deserting assigned duty is absolutely not taken lightly. Anyone wishing to separate should find a different, more legal, way to do it. I’ve heard failing to pass the body composition or fitness standard is one of the easier ways to get a discharge prior to contract fulfillment. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title10-section886&num=0&edition=prelim
Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Nearly 7,000 troops, tanks and parachute jumps: Army confirms military parade coinciding with Trump's birthday1·6 days agoIt’s comforting to know most of the uniformed participants will probably dislike the experience and think it’s a cringe waste of their time.
Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Tesla sales plummet 80.7% in Sweden amid Elon Musk backlashEnglish1·7 days agoI went so far as to trade my S&P500-flavored index funds for large cap value-flavored ones so I could avoid holding TSLA even by association. It’s so stupid how that moist waste of carbon-based material turned something as silly as an electric car brand into a political totem of autocracy.
Gordon Calhoun@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’1·1 month agoThere is no magical way out of this — there will be blood.
It’d really suck if they became so out of touch with reality that they forgot what pitchforks and Halifax Gibbets are. Suck for them, I mean.
He may be stupidly rich and powerful, but I’m still infinitely grateful I’m not him.
