“You’ll get free college!”

You’re assuming these sort of tactics haven’t always been part of their recruiting efforts.  

I never realized! It’s not like an enormous portion of our GDP goes towards it.

The US military has hit the vast majority of recruitment numbers for 20 yrs. they have 0 need to trick anyone

Speaking as a non-American, it is truly shocking and DEEPLY disturbing how integrated and prevalent military integration is in your society. I say this without any hyperbole, but it’s a breath away from Fascism. 

The US military using bait-and-switch tactics to draw gullible young people into the armed forces?

A 12 oz can of soda has about 2.2 grams of CO2. Every hour you exhale about 50 grams of CO2 when healthy, and is capable of ramping that up a lot higher. That doesn’t include removal of acid by your kidneys. You would have to drink a lot of carbonated water to get acidotic from it. I suspect you would get sick of…

Because it actually is a two-party system, and the other side has only ever made an effort to push white supremacy and “keep blacks in their place.” You’re basically arguing, “Now, I know that Batman hasn’t done much to combat crime on a systemic level, so why not side with the Joker?’

Michael Harriot can’t couch his ‘take’ in the context of Cannon’s antisemitism.

It would appear that even a whiff of proximity to the Nation of Islam is politically toxic, for even the most savvy media moguls, such as Cannon. I, personally, cannot fathom being in a room, much less a sane conversation with Farrakhan, but if that is Nick Cannon’s cup of tea...well pour him a glass, henny.

If we’re going to clean house, we have to sweep the corners too.

Hunh, someone who married Mariah Carey and wears turbans has wild ideas and no sense of self-preservation?! Smh

I feel like this argument is a deflection. Everything in it is correct- however, Viacom didn’t (or at lease didn’t say) they fired him because of the anti-white shit. It was because of the antisemitism. And that isn’t just words, that’s stuff that actively hurts and provokes violence against Jewish people.

Kinda surprised she agreed to marriage in the first place if she thought your dick was that weird

Exactly, his advice to have a million in savings before you can do X is just completely unrealistic when so many people won't take home that much in a lifetime. 

Financial experts, at least popular ones, have an interest not in your individual financial well-being, but in selling their image and product. Their advice in general strokes is good enough to mass market, but it should be taken with a heavy grain of salt that it likely doesn’t apply to you in full, and isn’t…

I’ve covered that topic several times about not overextending yourself - https://jalopnik.com/stop-overbuying-your-cars-1829751357

Dave Ramsey is an idiot. cars are in that weird valley where they cost a lot to buy (probably anyone’s second biggest purchase after their house) but don’t gain value. And they’re machines, so they wear out. Telling people they shouldn’t buy a new car unless they’re worth millions and can pay cash is just some…

Financial experts are really weird because they don’t seem to live in reality anymore. There’s so much advice that they give - which mostly amounts to never spend any money on anything ever - that is fundamentally incompatible with the average needs of a person. They’d probably decry food and water as a waste of money…

Agreed 100%. People talk about cars being “depreciating assets,” but it’s not an asset at all--it’s an expense. If you’re going to be paying the money at all, why not get what you want instead of a compromise?
