Military worship in this country is out of fucking control

cadimonsignal

I’m in the military and yes it’s out of fucking control. Most of the people I know in the military feel the same way. You civilians need to calm the fuck down. Most of us joined in our teens or early twenties. For a lot of us it was because we needed a job, and we didn’t see any other options, and this job has good benefits, especially for an uneducated young person in America. We get healthcare and education!! That’s some tempting fucking fruit. But this is a JOB. Some people in the military become heroes, that’s true. Jumping on grenades, defusing bombs, dragging a wounded person from the middle of a firefight. They usually end up dead in the process. Those people deserve respect, in my opinion. They give their lives for their friends, no matter whether or not you agree with the policies that put them there in the first place. But a lot of people in America reflexively claim that everyone in the military is a hero, full stop. This isn’t true and it lets people look the other way when something is actually wrong in the military, because it’s the military, they’re heroes, they can do no wrong.

We’re doing a job, and a lot of us are never really put in harm’s way. I work in a climate controlled lab for 8 hours a day, for instance. Really grueling. Such a hero. This fawning lip service of an infallible military doesn’t do us any good. I know people who have bought into it, who have heard so many people tell them that they’re heroes that they actually believe it, and they are the stupid and dangerous ones. Joining the military does not make you a hero, and calling us heroes might make you feel all warm and fluffy and red white and blue but it doesn’t do anything for the people that end up on the streets with PTSD or come home with life-changing injuries or in a box. We’re human beings, not some concept that you can just mindlessly adulate and then feel better about yourself.

Disguised as dancing African slaves in Brazil would practice this capoeria as a fighting style

^^^^ that’s one of the best pieces of information I’ve heard today

Black ingenuity is everlasting

It’s the reason it’s so acrobatic and requires the use of your legs more than anything. It would help slaves fight when they tried to escape and Capoira was created specifically so they could:

a.) Pass it off as a dance with the slave masters unaware of it being a fighting style.

b.) Be able to fight even with their hands shackled.

It’s has a super neat history!

pussy game so strong it scared the devil

ohbeckoh

no but literally that is what is happening, there have been long periods of western history where spirits were said t be frightened by the site of lady business. Sailor’s wives used to flash their husbands ships (mind you this was a time before underwear so you just lifted your petticoats and BAM) in order to scare away the spirits and devils that made storms. A woman could flash her crops to keep away spirits that might ruin them.This was also back when the vagoo was seen as something taboo and horrible so literally looking directly at some labia was thought to be so scary the devil would poop himself. Misogyny so intense it gave the pussy superpowers.

IF YOU NEED TO CALL 911 BUT ARE SCARED TO BECAUSE OF SOMEONE IN THE ROOM, dial and ask for a pepperoni pizza. They will ask if you know you’re calling 911. Say yes, and continue pretending you’re making an order. They’ll ask if there’s someone in the room.

You can ask how long it will take for the pizza to get to you, and they will tell you how far away a dispatcher is.

Here is an example video

I’ve done this. I’m alive because of this.

My flat-mate’s date for the night was almost as drunk as her. She had passed out in her room and locked the door. He refused to leave because he wanted to have sex. He also demanded food because he was dealing with “whiskey dick”. He didn’t like the lack of food in the fridge. I called 911, did the stuff stated above, and he was getting PISSED about how long the “order” was taking. He took my phone, demanded they “hurry the fuck up”. Police arrived two minutes later, arrested him, and helped me file a police report. Pressing charges wasn’t necessary because he had warrants on him from THREE different states for the very thing he planned to do to me. Several months after this happened one of the officers informed me he was charged with two felonies because he crossed stay lines, and will be serving no less than 35 years in prison. The officer ripped into my flat-mate about her bringing home complete strangers, while drunk, knowing full well this shit could happen.

This was 14 years ago.

Do the pizza order, do it as calmly as you can. The dispatcher I spoke to said things like this:

“If he’s drunk say you want mushrooms.” I said I want extra mushrooms.

“If he’s threatening you with sexual assault say you want onions.” I said I want onions.

She went like this with different toppings and sauces for a description of him, like pineapple if he’s blonde, black olives if he’s tall, extra large if he’s tall, etc.

They’ve heard this sort of coded call before. They’re trained for it. They will understand what you’re saying. Order the pizza.

torios

Really though. I’m in training for dispatch and this was one of the first things they taught us. Pretend you’re talking to a friend or relative, pretend you’re ordering pizza, we’ll figure it out. We’ll word questions so you can answer in an easy, casual way. Please, just make the call and we will do everything we can to help you.

Why the fuck is this not more widely known?

Also, my phone has this lil feature that texts my emergency contacts with my location + a picture of me and all I have to do is press the power button three times consecutively. Idk if only samsung phones can do it but it’s a really helpful trick if you’re ever in danger and you’re not in a position to talk to someone on the phone

Consider: Aliens find humans goddamn adorable.

—

“Look at them! They dance with others of their species they’ve never met before just for their shared love of certain sound patterns! That is so sweet!”

—

“The humans have told me that this process is called ‘hugging’, and it involves simply holding each other to release endorphins. Isn’t that precious? Look how happy they are!”

—

“Humans have a physical response called ‘laughter’ to indicate high positive emotions and humor. It seems to be infectious, as one laughing human can easily cause laughter and endorphin responses in other humans!”

—

“They pack bond so easily, even with inanimate objects. A human companion of mine recently purchased a small 'cactus’ plant simply because it was not shaped as perfectly as the rest and she wished to give it a home. She has named it Bartholomew.”

“Yes, my own human friend has displayed this tendency as well. When I questioned her, she expressed that she has pack-bonded with me. I felt I must perform a 'hug’ in order to express how adorable she is.”

—

“My human companion has adopted another, smaller Earth predator into his home. I frequently find him carrying it around or napping with it simply to share companionship and feel the vibrations the creature produces. He very often expresses how adorable and precious the feline is, though he does not seem to realize that he is similarly so.”

—

“The humans record themselves playing pretend and telling stories so other humans can watch them. I have samples of these 'movies’ to share with the rest of the observation party. For research purposes.”

♡ types of crushes; venus sign edition

aries venus: infatuated crush. their love is possessive and on fire. they want to spend every living, waking moment with you and when they aren’t, you’re the only thing on their mind. their heart is aflame and you’re the air that’s only making it grow.

taurus venus: cherished crush. they’re there for you! always and forever. if you need anything, they want you to let them supply it. whether it be safety, comfort, or support; your happiness is their happiness. let them take care of you, that’s all they want.

gemini venus: breathtaking crush. ‘love is a game’ has never meant more to anyone than these people. expect the unexpected with them, because you’ll never see anything coming. and if you find yourself getting too comfortable, they’ll shock you all over again. they’re conversations at 3am and the real laughter from your stomach. they’ll make you wonder what fun was before you met them.

cancer venus: first love crush. every time feels like the first to them. they’ll fall in love a million times and still want to give nothing but the world to that person. they’re blushing easily and soft smiles. they’re doodling hearts in a notebook and laying in bed dreaming of confessing their feelings.

leo venus: grand crush. in love with the idea of love, you may have a hundred and one crushes but you’ll always know when you really fall in love. they’re being on the top of the world and never wanting to come down. feeling like the only two people on earth and as if you’re constantly spinning in a dream. love may not exactly be forever for them, but they always make the most of it when it’s there.

virgo venus: devoted crush. very similar to taurus, these people are always there for you. even though their love is light like a breeze, their feelings are always very very real. they’re grocery shopping at 6am & starting a bubble war with the soapy dish water. love is supposed to be comfortable and like home to them.

libra venus: enchanted crush. crushes are easy to fall in for you but also easy to fall out of; and the other person would have never even known. you treat love as if it’s a unfamiliar reality with an infinite amount of things to be discovered and experienced. love is always a fairytale for you.

scorpio venus: intoxicating crush. they engulf you when they have a crush; similar to aries. they’re possessive and addicted to being around you. they want to break you down to your center and memorize all your scars and deeply hidden secrets until there’s nothing left except two souls. then you’ll be with them for life.

sagittarius venus: wild crush. you want nothing more than to see the world and break all the rules with the one you love. these crushes are impulsive and insane and they make you feel the true beauty in life and forget all the questions or unknown. they’re fast and they strike hard and then leave you wanting more when it’s all over.

capricorn venus: tender crush. these crushes are always a secret for the entire time they’re there, never even beginning to think of making the first move. they’re warm and innocent yet also very mature and serious. they’re talking about you to their friends and gazes across a room, devoted time and putting you first. they’re always one of the best because they’re filled with real loyalty and care; a type you can’t find any other place.

aquarius venus: best friend crush. they’re your best friends, because it’s hardly unlikely they would fall in love with you any other way. they’re intrigued and in love with all your flaws and differences from the world, admiring you like a star in their very dark sky. these crushes are unique and rare.

pisces venus: daydream crush. you’re the inspiration behind their poetry and their art. you’re their comforting thought and safe place for them to go. they think about you all the time but always in a caring way: whether you’ve ate, drank plenty of water, got a good nights sleep, had a hard day. you’re always on their mind, and they care the world for you; whether they’ve told you or not.

Why do (esp white) men love having fights about politics where they change topics 6x to confuse you and then try and make you look dumb because you can’t jump between the points bc you’re too busy arguing the separate distinct points bc you thought that’s what the fight was about

mumblingsage

“The Gish gallop allows a debater to hit their opponent with a rapid series of many specious arguments, half-truths and misrepresentations in a short space of time, which makes it impossible for the opponent to refute all of them within the format of a formal debate. In practice, each point raised by the “Gish galloper” takes considerably more time to refute or fact-check than it did to state in the first place,[4] which wastes the opponent’s time and can cast doubt about their debating ability in an audience unfamiliar with the technique, especially if no independent fact-checking is involved.[5] …If one is familiar with an opponent who is known to use the Gish gallop, the technique can be countered somewhat by preempting and refuting their commonly used arguments before they have the chance.[7]“

Or sometimes it could help to point out that they’re doing it, though I suspect the kind of person who does this is the kind of person who responds to “Wow, you’re Gish galloping” with “ad hominem!”

ineedarendezvous

People who do this know they look like they’re winning to the audience. They make lots of short snappy inaccurate points and you’re fumbling to refute with full facts and explanations.
