It's not like the army forces you to the job that they want you to do. No one finds themselves in a combat role by surprise. Besides, most military jobs are support based, like logistics or IT. I'd maybe recommend it to someone who doesn't have money for college but has an interest in something like computer science. But even then, the GI isn't as big of an incentive as it used to be since a college education doesn't really guarantee you a comfortable living anymore. I'd probably recommend most people don't join the military but it can be a good life decision as long as you know what you're getting yourself into

My phone ran with it (showed up as the recommendation lol) 😂

It's supposed to mean that enough outside pressure has mounted to force the kind of introspection where you reconsider everything you think you know or are. In a way, you are releasing your 'self' in exchange for becoming one with the larger picture.

So you might have someone that let's say has a drinking problem.... They think they are managing and are not cognizant of how their behavior or actions are impacting others. You have an intervention so that the person can learn the weight of the burdens he's made other people shoulder, forcing introspection and a "come to Jesus moment"

TWD really was in my opinion the first TV show that had a social media hype train. And the writing quickly felt like a lot of fan service(plot armor and screen time) and shock value (intentional cliffhangers to spur social media conversations)... Other great shows like Breaking Bad and GoT also had huge hype trains but it felt like only connusuiers watched them. TWD was the kind of show that appealed to many generations. It was pretty sad to watch it go downhill. If they had finished strong the IP would be as highly regarded as Breaking Bad.

Yup. The seasons always felt like 80% of it was drama which would be later be irrelevant or subplots that would be unfinished, followed by 10% scheming and a 10% action packed finale where things would kind of reset.

I'm not sure if people just enjoy watching drama but even on some TV shows that I love for the brilliant writing(like Mad Men) it almost felt like too much.

Anyways I think I got to a season after the prison and I realized the loop was not pleasing to me because the characters had little progression, if that makes any sense.

LOL, those are reserved for important people when they come in. They're not for the people that work in the building.

Last place I worked had a ping pong table that never got used by the people that worked there, as well as an Xbox I never saw on

Agreed. I think most hobbyists establish a baseline minimum requirement, which some of it boils down to preference. That preference is usually for newer hobbyists to avoid the same pitfalls. Some may misinterpret it as gatekeeping if you recommend a nuanced opinion, but it's your opinion, anyone is allowed to disagree.

I think to OPs point, people asking "what kind of camera do you use?" Isn't meant to be offensive. It's an exploratory question meant to inspire discussion and it usually means that person has an interest in the topic.

People find the craziest things to be offended about nowadays.

The comparison is pretty poor, and I'm afraid you are not familiar enough with the topic. If I make an application with a subscription service, it must be sold on the play/apple store to reach users. Google/apple get a 30% cut of any subscriptions I sell, meaning if I make $10, they get $3. Since iOS/Android own 99+% of the smartphone OS market, there is no other alternative. So you say, "I understand they're processing and facilitating the payment, but 30% of my earnings is way too much! I can process my own payments and have people sign up on my own website. When people go to purchase a subscription, I'll just redirect them to their browser to complete the transaction..."

That's what Apple/Google are doing. It's a monopoly.

True true

Not trying to start an argument here but you sound very far removed from individual contributors, so maybe from your point of view it would simply look like adding it to a pile. More important than adding it to a pile is to make sure there's systems in place to make sure OSs are patched. You wouldn't be complaining to the IT/sysadmin guy about your servers' vulnerability or patching schedules, you'd be talking to your cybersec department who'd have oversight. And if there's a breach and your only defense is "I added it to the IT guys pile", 100% you are getting fired as well.

It's the national review.

If it makes you feel any better, you have to knowingly be in an echo chamber to call what he wrote anything that even resembles "journalism" ...

"so it’s conceivable that Bushnell was on his command’s radar but hadn’t done anything to warrant action . . . at least until now."

Uhm, excuse me? Is this what passes for journalism now, blatant speculation?

The only people who would willingly read that garbage are well aware their head is in the sand, they just want to hear validation.
