In a hazard zone and experience Indirect fire, Small arms fire etc. still sleep like a baby. Come home and someone drops something heavy as I’m getting ready for bed, my brain goes“Fight or flight kicking in ready to be up til 2 in the morning now bitch?”.

I’ve got so many of those types of stories. My Drill Sgt. nicked named me Private Sleepy Time cause he found me mostly asleep on a 8 mile ruck one time.

In Iraq they had to bust open my door cause shrapnel went through my CHU (think dorm room but smaller) from a mortar and I slept through the indirect fire attack and…

Don’t forget getting you cot kicked in the middle of the night when they are looking for the next person to do watch. Then getting woken up an hour after that when it’s your turn to do watch.

Never forget it was Youtube/iTunes more then Pandora and Spotify that lowered the use of P2P and torrent sites. Chris is right that the less friction, the more likely people will use your product. However, content owner (At leaset big corporation) care more about making money then your user experience. Big music tried…

Imagine for a moment where campaign finance reform was passed, and campaigns could only use a set amount of public money. Then even just a tenth of campaign donations went to Public/private partnership with local news agencies. What a wonderful world that would be.

These people are coming back whether or not you give them a road map or not. You’re right that everyone following the same playbook because like it or not, more likely not, large segments of the population love these individual comedians and will spend money to hear their standup, and watch their shows.

The saying is “…

The pressure on companies only work until the number of people that WON’T watch/buy your product because “X” is involved with you become less then the number of people that WILL watch/buy your product because “X” is involved. Then the companies will welcome who ever back in with open arms.

That’s just how capitalism…

Worst boss ever was when I was working for the National Guard. We had this mean old Col. who was the most Kiss Up, Kick Down person I had ever met in my life. When I took the job I knew two people who worked/had worked in the department she ran and asked them about the position. Both said to not take it because you…

Escalation of force here seems real shady. Stabbed in hand then shot multiple times. Also, what are you doing as an officer getting so close that she can stab you like that? Everything about this situation seems shady. Feels like more was going on then a simple sting.

Normally I would say, hopefully the DA gets to the…

Honestly reading the article I feel I don’t know relieved that this WASN’T a youtube “stunt” that went bad. This was a horrible event but I was expecting to read that this was all part of a plan to get clicks that went wrong but instead this looks like a, maybe drunk drive, maybe on drugs, maybe suicidal... who knows,…

I know Heather not going to appreciate this but the game seems very bare bones and alpha. The amount of thought Heather put into this articles gives you an impression there is more going on to this game then there really is.

Put 16 different types of body parts on 8 different areas of the body (Arms and legs are…

What does that even mean? That your compassion only extends as far as your kids and their needs? This isn’t a Zero sum game. All government social projects need more funding. It’s like the people that say, well I’m not going to worry about welfare til vets are taken care of. No, we need to take care of both at the…

I’m to the point where I think the Something Awful, 10 dollar to be a part of this forum is a good idea. With no skin in the game online discord has become horrible. I refuse to use Twitter and tumblr, and my facebook is mostly an unused relic, why? Because anyone can log on and post at will minimal consequence to…

I don’t know, maybe you were just an asshole and got used to the wild wild west of online behavior and once you were called on it you didn’t like the fact someone called you out on your assholeness.

I’ve been around the internet and a few times been banned from this forum or that. Sometimes I quickly realized it was…

Have you seen housing prices in the Northern Nevada area, I’m not surprised these employees are taking on a second job. 

If I ever enter the dating pool again I would date around my age (Early 30's). I think these men that try to get with early 20's, late teens don’t actually deal with women around that age much.

In my current job, I supervise mostly women between 19-25 and while I get along with most of them as my hobbies skew toward…

To be honest, with online dating women still get way more messages then men so I wouldn’t worry to much. If I ever enter the dating pool again I would date around my age (Early 30's). I think these men that try to get with early 20's, late teens don’t actually deal with women around that age much.

In my current job, I…

You know there are tapes. If there wasn’t any tapes, Huckster would go on all day long about how Trump has never said the N word, never thought about saying the N word and how the media are the real racist for even asking that question.

I know as a journalist or in media you have to be “On” twitter and have a “presence” but seriously, twitter is always hot garbage. It’s nothing but Memes and hot takes and bait. Anything with any nuance or thought is normally just a link posting to an actually site.

Twitter was a mistake, real political discourse…

I have a friend who’s a doctor and when I asked him why he feels like he should make so much money he told me about all the 40+ hours he has to work and all the student debt he accrued while in med school and how it takes years as a resident before he even starts to make any real money as a doctor. Claiming he’ll be…
