Reminds me of The Battle of Algiers when the french paratrooper commander asks his underlings, “What would you have us do? Leave Algeria!?!” as a rhetorical question whose answer is obviously no. Followed by the rest of the movie, where the french get worked and Algeria wins its independence

I do apologize. It didn’t feel good, but someone had to say it!

But everything is actually, factually fine and it’s just in my head

Lmao, gottem

Anyone have the link to submit a tagline? I’ve been here forever and never needed it, so I’ve until now ignored all instructions

I went! No one else showed up, so all the anxiety was for nothing

Sorry to make you write all that out, but that’s pretty much the exact interpretation I took from your original comment!

“No kinks” is just the only thing on that list that applies to me personally, so I was worried I might have to do even more introspection

The coffee shop I went to to read last week has an event today where people show up to read whatever book they have, together. Like a low stakes book club without a unified book to discuss. Some part of me wants to go, but it also sounds like a situation you would engineer if you wanted to torture me specifically

no kinks

Are you saying this is bad on its own, or just in combination with the rest of the list? I’m a really vanilla person and I’ve never really thought about it as relevant to the rest of my life/identity. But also I keep that shit to myself and don’t use kink as a bludgeon against other people who do actually know how to enjoy themselves

(Edit: I’m worried this comes off as oppositional or argumentative, I don’t know how to phrase it better to avoid that)

I was trying to make a joke about the express written consent part. I just meant that Iran has the ability to hit anything they want in Dubai with as many missiles as they want, and that they wouldn’t allow any logistic support to reach the us fleet through any base within their missile range

Thank god the freshwater is still safe

As I understand it: No supplies bound for us forces can be stored in or moved through Dubai without the express written consent of the IRGC. All supplies for those ships barely off shore must be moved over thousands of kilometers of ocean from bases outside of missile range

Some time ago when Uncle Sammy had a war with Spain,

And many of the boys in blue were in the battle slain,

Not all were killed by bullets, though, not by any means,

The biggest part that died were killed by Armour’s Pork and Beans.

From the song Stung Right by Joe Hill, 1913

Hell yeah

First of all, oceans are now battlefields. So go ahead and jot that down

What a strange way to learn something new today lol

I think hearing it out loud makes it way easier tbh
