A dark day

I'm not sure I ever got a 4.8 which leads to my problem with it. I think the highest I ever got was 4.7* and that was after adjustments my platoon made after seeing what others in the company were submitting. My units were always on the low side of grading, our Master Guns was like only Jesus gets a 5 and only Chesty rates a 4.9. Average was like 4.0 to 4.2 and stellar was 4.5. It made us less competitive for picking up rank. Overall though I agree with you with it being the best meritocracy that I've ever seen. Not just here but I've been seeing ZeroHedge links pop up all over the place lately. Is it the new Breitbart or something? *No, I wasn't a bad Marine or anything :P. I picked up Sgt in about 3.5 years with no meritorious anything.

In my particular unit everything was on the up and up but there were always stories and rumors of stuff going on elsewhere on base. Some of it was even true. Forgot how much I disliked the pro/con scores since they were so subjective. If your unit was too conservative with their grading then you could be screwed on your cutting score.

I vaguely remember having to sit through safety briefs on gangs and right wing groups infiltrating the military with more emphasis on the right wing groups. This was all before Obama as I got out in December of 08.

I miss everyone is a SJW Nazi Volo. Everything is racist Volo isn't as fun. Sorry, Volo

Mostly Lord of the Things Online and Star Trek Online but I'm thinking of picking Elder Scrolls Online back up since I took a break after hitting level 50.

To misquote the movie Contact, "why sell one book when you can sell two at twice the price?" I think the official reason was because the book got too big so Butcher reworked them into two separate books

The thing with most of Trump's lies are that they are so small and petty that it's easy to chalk them up as him just misspeaking but since he also has a tendency to double down on them every so often that it mostly disproves that theory. A good chunk of them don't require any serious fact checking and can simply be googled. I mean his term started off with a lie about such a stupid thing as crowd sizes. It's mostly pointless lies but the volume is such that his every word draws scrutiny and his antagonistic relationship with most journalists and news organizations isn't doing him any favors in this regard. Most of the extra scrutiny that he gets he's brought on himself. That said, it has otherwise been a wildly successful tactic for him whether it's intentional or not. He is president after all, an unpopular one to be sure, but still president.

That's one of those should be obvious type things. Last I checked black people only make up about 13% of the population so if they got shot more in total numbers than non-Hispanic white people, which are over 60% of the population (I think all white people are around 75%), then something would be really, really wrong. Also, who checks the fact check checkers?

Thankfully Zor answered because I had no idea. I just saw an opportunity for a free game and shared it.

Yeah, I'd go Fallout (1, 2, and Tactics) every day of the week and twice on Sundays over The Outer Worlds. It's not that I hated it or anything but I dunno, it felt too console shootery to me if that makes any kind of sense to anyone other than me, myself, and that one guy over there somewhere. It just wasn't my jam or my brand.

Not sure if serious

I hate that I'm their exact brand of perfect sucker. I don't like much of anything they've put out and yet I always come back for more just because it says Star Trek.

I'd equate coffee to an IPA for me. I've had the good stuff and I've had the bad stuff and I couldn't tell the difference.

I also despise the taste and smell of coffee but for some reason I don't mind some coffee ice creams. I mean, I can only eat a little bit but I like it. When I was a younger man I drank energy drinks or soda if I thought I needed or wanted caffeine but now because of the sugar it's mostly tea for me. I can't do diet drinks either because they also taste like death and decay on a hot day. Also, since cutting back I've become a lot more sensitive to caffeine so a little goes a long ways and if I have it too late in the day then I can forget about a good night's sleep. Sorry about your American brother tekno. Hopefully he can get his health under control.

It's funny because I actually thought about changing it to say a tapenade with added or extra lemon and capers. Instead I went with what was the first thing I typed which is just the order I threw things on top of the sardines.

Sardines with capers, a local olive tapenade, and lemon

Though the first thought that popped into my head was some kind of super lottery.
