Puck the Puddle Pilot

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

The plural for airplane is airplanes.
The plural for helicopter is helicopters.

English is admittedly a silly language.

But the plural for aircraft remains aircraft.

I think they think it's a race to armageddon. I don't see them playing 4d chess. I see them reacting.

the people in charge, who've been in charge for most of my 40 years of life, are the first generation to have no memory of the world before this order was imposed, and they massively underestimated the natural instability of it's existence.

I too find it hard to believe they found that many chaplains corps rejects to be COs of units.

But it is a legit belief structure within the Christian faith and that is a WAY more interesting conversation than weirdos in the service.

I don't think I presented it as a credible report.

I think I presented it to spark discussion about Apocalyptic Christianity and the word obsession they have with Israel and their ideas of the end of days.

Whether or not the admin said it out loud is quite low on my list of grievances.

Correct.

Ahem.

The plural for aircraft is aircraft.

Not aircrafts.

It is an irregular noun. You do not say "I see three aircrafts."

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Not only is that a lotta gas flying. That's a lotta things drinking a lotta gas.

This is the wildest part of the Christian nationalist cult for me.

The need to end the world. Usually reserved for the antagonist in every piece of media ever, draped with some Christian theological trappings suddenly becomes desirable?

You think your god's gonna bow to your timeline?

Enough gas flying to move the price on the ground.

You know the 82 is gonna wanna jump in.

shrek says that is a sacrifice , i am willing to make while standing next to two knight statues . Alt: Lord Faarquad says "Some of you may die, that is a sacrifice i am willing to make" while standing next to two knights in armor and speaking from a balcony.

Can't wait for that press conference.

Kinda what I mean. We have not acted as a relaible ally to them.

Not gonna lie. My first thought when I heard about the F-15s was "Which ocean is the Getty in these days?"

I'm a little surprised the Kurds will still take our call.

Bumper boats with destroyers

Feeding F-35s to the sea.

Live demonstrating to Kuwaiti Air Defense the latest Friend-or Foe Ignoring with their own F-18s.

Trying their damnest to make the flying midair that is the osprey a solution to a problem they haven't discovered yet.

a man says things aren 't going very well Alt: a man says things aren't going very well

I weep for the mental integrity of the historians.

And zero effort in justification.

I don't know why I'm so stuck on that. But in GWOT they TRIED to justify stuff.

Maybe I was just younger and dumber.

No, that's not indicative of anything, that's just normal Navy operations.

Watching in real time what happens when there are lots of tactics, some low level operations, and no strategy.

I'll say "What are words you never again get to say on a national stage even if they are true," Alex.

Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

Second and third order consequences rear their ugly head once more.

Government is serious business for serious people.

Arguably this is a direct consequence tho. Easily forecasted.

How are they reporting on dreams?

In other news I just married Emma Stone. My (ex I guess) wife just married Regé-Jean Page, my son is now a dinosaur and my daughter is a space artist.

This is the definition of "pogue shit"

Anything that pushups, prayer circles, AI integration and ride-a-longs can't solve.

It's a bog standard online hero shooter entering an oversaturated market. And the launch video created nothing but negative hype because completely industry tone-deaf placement.

The game is fine I'm sure. But the market isn't there.

Our commander in chief folks, making decisions in your name. Clearly feeling the weight of those decisions.
