Listen up. Being a dad is probably about the most wonderful, challenging, incredible, and important adventure you can ever go on and if you find yourself lucky enough to hold that title, you had better take it incredibly seriously and also soak in every glorious moment.

IMO the biggest problem with Biden's age is the fact that Trump wants to be a dictator on day one and it doesn't look like there's anything or anyone in our institutions that are willing or able to stop him.

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

I saw a dude standing on the corner by the grocery store in my suburban Maryland town holding a cardboard sign that reads "FUCK QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" and I think that's the most American thing I've seen today

The kids were doing an impression of me haunting the house, which mostly included “me” trying to obtain things they wanted me to add to the grocery list. And if that’s not the most depressing and real embodiment of my life rn, I don’t know what is.

New study by Linsey Marr:
“We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

Marcia Lucas in fact won an Oscar for her film editing of Star Wars. George Lucas was up for two that year and won neither (he was beaten out by Woody Allen for both of them). He has still not won a competitive Oscar.

You said elsewhere you were class of ‘03. I was, too. I ended up with a half-ride scholarship to a $30k/year (in 2003!) private university and I was probably the most sought-after student by SFC B, my local recruiter. He even took me to MEPS! When I commissioned, he reached out to congratulate me!

Yeah, it depends! The ASVAB is basically a standardized test, and some people are better or worse at those independent of their grades. Some smart kids who test well have bad grades from not turning in assignments or missing school because they work two jobs to help provide for their family.

And I hope — I really do — that having all these military folks and recent grads replying and telling you “no, recruiters do not focus on kids with bad grades” doesn’t piss you off at being contradicted more than it opens your mind to the possibility that you were wrong, and that’s okay.

It doesn’t contradict anything because we’re trying to tell you that nobody makes or gets lists just of kids with bad grades, and no recruiter wants kids with bad grades. But thanks for calling me a dipshit because you don’t understand what you’re talking about, I guess.

Like, find me any career field that wants its ranks filled with stupid people. I’ll take a smart custodian to mop over someone who is stupid, because if they’re stupid I’ve got to spend precious time holding their hand on everything.

Not just tech advances, though that’s part of it. The Army operates on the concept of “mission command” which basically means everyone down to the lowest private understands the essentials of the mission and can act to further the objective in the absence of guidance. We need *smart* Soldiers.

I wouldn’t, no. It would likely have a serious negative impact on military recruitment and hopefully cause a sea change in both military culture and recruiting, and American culture at large. But no, I would personally love it and have advocated for it for a long time now.

They get lots of peoples’ numbers, in a lot of ways. Sometimes people get referred by other recruits. Sometimes counselors give out all or most of the students’ info. Perhaps your counselor just thought you’d be a good fit. You’re making a massive assumption that it was a list of kids w/ bad grades.

Okay, I’m asking you this to figure out whether this is an argument session or an education session: have you ever served or known well someone who has? As I said, we don’t want idiots. And college is expensive, which is wheee the GI Bill comes in. I joined after college, $75k in debt.

You’re saying recruiters use lists of kids with bad grades as a call sheet. In your mind that not an implication that recruiters focus on recruiting kids with bad grades? Honestly, if I’m a recruiter, I want kids with GOOD grades who won’t be able to afford the colleges they want to go to.

Then you’re not being very clear in what you mean because what it seems like you’re saying is that recruiters focus on recruiting kids with bad grades. And that’s not true.

Also true, but has no bearing on the allegation that recruiters use lists of kids with bad grades as call sheets.

Apparently, they have no desire to have a serious discussion, either. People like this aren’t to be taken seriously.

They don’t, but high school grades and the ASVAB are really the only two solid metrics military recruiters have of gauging a potential recruit’s intelligence. It’s like saying plenty of intelligent kids do poorly on the SATs; true, but that’s still what many colleges look at.

It’s less that and more that “how it looks” is a description and “what it looks like” is a comparison, with something to which you liken the thing you’re describing. “How it looks like” is as nonsensical as saying “what it looks.”

Nope, that’s not true. We don’t want dummies, and one of our biggest recruiting draws is free college. I don’t want an idiot who can’t read or do basic math trying to call in or provide indirect fire near me.

My guess is the latter. Don’t know if you’ve touched on this already, but one of my huge peeves I see lately is “how it looks like” as in “this is how I look like when I eat a good taco.” The “like” is completely unnecessary. It’s “what it looks like” or “how it looks.” Irks the shit out of me.
