My guess is that (especially for the Air force) turnover would be expensive in terms of training. It's cheaper to let them leave for a while, than to try to train fresh recruits.

Honestly, the air force has to be a little more forward thinking, because most of it's career paths require specialized knowledge and training. This totally makes sense for them economically. It's cheaper to have a few more people than you need, and let them take breaks than to force them to leave and have to train…

I used to complain about the lack of manual "row your own" options. But, the new "automatics" aren't the four speed slushboxes of yore. They have as many (or more) ratios and they shift as fast (or faster) and generally get the power down as well (or better). Are all automatics created equal? No. Would I consider a…

Of course it has a turbonator.

Yo, Dawg, I heard you liked to vent, so I put vents on your vents so you can vent while you vent.

Safety toggles? For what?

They were going to call it the Flizza, but that sounds like a member of the Wu Tang clan.

They're giving you something to read, since you're going to be in the bathroom for a while after eating their food.

That was more my point... And then a bunch of people were like "not all men". At which point I facepalmed.

So, do you think that it needs to be explained on the cover of a popular magazine that rape is bad, or that people will see this cover, and not understand that rape is bad? That's the point of this conversation...

I know you know that we all know this. I think. I'm not even sure what I know anymore. My point is that it's not positive, and that no one is going to think that they're "rooting on" rape.

No, you provided evidence that rape is a common problem, and people cover it up. Which would imply that they know it's bad. Even rape jokes are acknowledging that rape is bad, and not okay. :/ It's used as a threat because it's a particularly nasty threat! People aren't proud of being rapists. People want to live far…

The funny thing is, another respondent to my post basically said "No, people don't think rape is bad."

So, you think that people need to be told that rape is bad and a horrible act.

The world where it's illegal, and people hide it, institutions try to cover it up if it happens there, and it's viewed extremely negatively?

Do you really believe that most people have a neutral or positive view of rape? Because that is remarkably dumb. It's not that people think rape is okay and everyone should just…

Well, that's not AT ALL what you said.

"There is nothing negative about rape on the cover. It may be a negative topic, but the headline is almost cheering it on. Don't think I am reading to much into it"

You literally say that the problem is that there is nothing negative about rape on the cover. You ignore that rape…

That is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

"They don't say rape is bad!"

They don't have to, you idiot. Everyone knows rape is bad.

"They're cheering it on!"

I assume you've read the byline as "The crisis in higher education: not enough rape."

Now THAT's trolling.

How is suggesting that the way higher education handles rape is a crisis trolling? It sounds like they're addressing not just the issue that it exists, but the way it's handled?

Hm... You know, that's not a very good management style either way. It sounds like she was kind of ordering people around, as opposed to leading them.

I had a CEO at a company do that once. I quit two weeks later, and he was out within six months. Part of being a leader is justifying your actions and getting people on…
