He should be walking a pair of chihuahuas to match the attitude of a whole lot of barking and no bite.

There is an inverse relationship between what someone has accomplished while in the military and how much they brag about it after they get out.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

Yep, the ones that brag after their service usually haven't done dick while they were in. Also, a good way to spot a bullshitter is simply asking what their MOS number was.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (3 children)

For the uninitiated, what is MOS?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's also service specific. Air force calls it an AFSC instead of MOS.

Others have explained what it is but the acronym is Military Occupational Specialty

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's codes the military uses to identify your job and job description. Each has their own sets of rules and procedures, and personnel use specific terminology when in a specific job field. That's why it's easy to spot a bullshitter.

You’d have to have been in to know they’re bullshitting though. A layman wouldn’t know some made-up MOS followed by “inflight missile repair technician”.

He needs TP for his bunghole!

Fucking moron.

Why is it so grossly off centered, imagine paying for that.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

After closer inspection, I suspect that this is a Photoshop. The lettering does not warp correctly to the shape of the jacket, although a lot of attention to detail has been taken to make it look like it does. But when you pointed out that it’s off center, I also noticed there’s little or no shading on any of the letters, the color is far too consistent for the wear pattern of that jacket, and the lighting doesn’t match

You noticing that it was off-center made me realize that, it’s off-center because whoever Photoshop that label on the jacket did not properly warp the text at the top to make it centered

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No I think the "forgot" in the bottom right shows it's real. That'd be a heck of a wrinkle to fold in if they didn't care about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There is some warping, like, they tried, but they did a lazy job. Look at the left edge: it’s perfectly straight. It wouldn’t be on a jacket like that.

They clearly used the ‘overlay’ mode to capture some of the lighting and texture differences, but that only does so much without proper warping.

Edit: compare it to this, which is a real print. zoom in and check out the edges, the texture, the fitting. OP’s meme is a shoop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I dont think it is. ELA shows no obvious alterations, and the person is clearly wearing the jacket crooked to the right (Look at the sleeve lines, left side is on top of the shoulder right side is on the side of the shoulder)

The print isnt off-center, the whole jacket is.

Edit: got my lefts and rights wrong.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

sorry, I mean… you’re not wrong in your observations, it’s just that this is clearly to me (30+ years as a graphic designer doing this sort of stuff) like a shoop. It’s a good shoop, but I’m experienced enough to see the flaws/shortcomings that fool most everyone, but, to my eye, gives it away.

And mine would be better. (Which, I realize, I will now have to prove— but doing this properly would take hours, so don’t hold your breath. I’ll post the results later.)

Until then, enjoy this from many years ago:

Because making it centered takes care and attention and they are to macho for caring 💪💪

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I know! Like, what do they think this guy is? A queer?

[–] [email protected] 146 points 4 months ago (10 children)

He wears the jacket so that people don't assume that walking a couple of corgies means he is secure in his masculinity.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah because people are doubting this guys masculinity

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

That's the point: people like Rock "The Dwayne" Johnson don't have to wear aggro jackets like the Y'all Qaeda warrior above.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I proudly display my love of my corgis by wearing a corgi riding a dinosaur in front of a rainbow on a muscle shirt when I take one for a walk.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was either this or the one that says "my other corgi is a pitbull"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

No way that guy has enough self-awareness to wear a shirt the that cool.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Betcha there's no beer gut!

Reminds me of this, which I saw in a Home Depot recently:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's some YouTube star's line of clothing. It's not religious. I've seen it before and looked it up. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2020/03/17/american-teenagers-are-declaring-virginity-rocks/

It's not religious.

So that person fucks kids, right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That person was, at best, 17 y/o themselves.

So… maybe?
