A bit more on that https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/03/14/marines-can-now-be-kicked-out-skin-condition-affects-mostly-black-men.html?amp

Other than special forces or those with religious or medical exceptions beards aren't allowed. My guess is that he doesn't mean special forces who have a relaxed grooming standard. That leaves religious and medical exceptions, so Sikhs and people with awful razor bumps (can happen to anyone but way more common in black people).

Wife and I were just complaining to each other about this. I make a point to wander off between reponses.

You know, the sign on the bathroom door is the only thing that keeps us safe from rape and murder.

We started Star Trek Prodigy season 2. The first few episodes were pretty frustrating but then it started getting pretty good. Easily my second favorite nuTrek show.

I still don't understand the right's obsession with trans people. Bunch of Mark Robinsons. Ctrl+F trans level of effort

That's pretty on brand for Trump

I just rewatched EuroTrip.

Just a friendly reminder to stretch before engaging in any mental gymnastics. Don't want to pull a hammy.

Well, from Malc's link So he doesn't even meet the requirements and had to get a waiver E: I don't know anything about Caine or how he might do in the role, I just hate the dumb discussion about DEI from the right.

I'm shocked anyone expected anything else from Trump

Equalizer TV show - it's really bad but it's fun to binge for some reason. It really is terrible though and I wouldn't watch it weekly but my wife and I have made several drinking games out of it. Ghosts - this one my wife mostly watches without me but I like it okay. I've watched, while doomscrolling on my phone, both the UK and the US versions and in this instance I think I like the US version better. High Potential - We really liked this one and can't wait for the second season. I mean, not enough to check out the French version, but still. Matlock - While I think the premise of the show is absurd, I'd probably watch Kathy Bates read the phone book.

-40 is one of the few Celsius temps I always know what it converts to in Fahrenheit. The others being 0 and 100.

Don't look up

This is me as well. If it isn't on GOG or DRM-free elsewhere then I'm passing on the game. I used to occasionally buy sports games but I refuse to give EA or 2k any money these days.

Could Russia realistically refuse any Chinese requests if/when Trump goes all in on China?

Shouldn't be long, we have a pretty active DEI program. Doing all kinds of shadiness like hiring rural remote workers to get different perspectives in the company, disgusting.

Ha, my company sent out an all hands message regarding Trump pausing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act saying that even in the absence of legal requirements, ethics and integrity have strong business benefits. Our practices around bribery and corruption are not changing lol.

Surprised the Buckets finally traded Kate Middleton

I'm not your buddy, pal!

We're already an oligarchy and have been for a while, we just hide it better. Economic elites and moneyed interest groups almost always win out over the people. There was a study on this like 10 or so years ago

I'm just here for the chaos

You could already do that with his Twitter knockoff stock. He's just diversifying his bribefolio.
