looks more like she has been covering her ears to not listen to anything he had to say so he had to punch the wall to finally get her attention…
im a little bit confused, are you analyzing a stock photo used for an article from a satirical online magazine?
let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how a completely fictional man can exhibit abusive behavior in a hypothetical universe that exists solely to mock this behavior and someone out there will still bend over backwards to defend him.
military worship in this country is out of fucking control
excuse me?
military worship in this country is out of fucking control
Yea you’re right, we shouldn’t honor the people willing to risk their life to save ours and defend our country … oh
Military worship in this country is out of fucking control
I’m in the military and yes it’s out of fucking control. Most of the people I know in the military feel the same way. You civilians need to calm the fuck down. Most of us joined in our teens or early twenties. For a lot of us it was because we needed a job, and we didn’t see any other options, and this job has good benefits, especially for an uneducated young person in America. We get healthcare and education!! That’s some tempting fucking fruit. But this is a JOB. Some people in the military become heroes, that’s true. Jumping on grenades, defusing bombs, dragging a wounded person from the middle of a firefight. They usually end up dead in the process. Those people deserve respect, in my opinion. They give their lives for their friends, no matter whether or not you agree with the policies that put them there in the first place. But a lot of people in America reflexively claim that everyone in the military is a hero, full stop. This isn’t true and it lets people look the other way when something is actually wrong in the military, because it’s the military, they’re heroes, they can do no wrong.
We’re doing a job, and a lot of us are never really put in harm’s way. I work in a climate controlled lab for 8 hours a day, for instance. Really grueling. Such a hero. This fawning lip service of an infallible military doesn’t do us any good. I know people who have bought into it, who have heard so many people tell them that they’re heroes that they actually believe it, and they are the stupid and dangerous ones. Joining the military does not make you a hero, and calling us heroes might make you feel all warm and fluffy and red white and blue but it doesn’t do anything for the people that end up on the streets with PTSD or come home with life-changing injuries or in a box. We’re human beings, not some concept that you can just mindlessly adulate and then feel better about yourself.

oh boy just in time for the 4th of July
Speaking as a disabled veteran: it’d be one thing if the fucking hero worship MEANT ANYTHING. But it’s a bunch of empty loud words about how Brave and Noble everyone in the military is (nah some of us are assholes) and then when it comes to, oh I don’t know, paying a soldier enough to feed their family without food stamps, or giving disability compensation without a NIGHTMARE fight with the country that claims to “care” so much. Plus the whole “sending us off to kill other people to make rich men richer while innocents die for it” thing. It’s not “defending freedom” to shove our troops into everyone’s business in countries that happen to have oil and such
Military worship isn’t only annoying, it’s a hollow lie that’s basically dangerous to everyone
Yeah, as someone who studies a disease that disproportionately affects veterans (among a few other groups), the military worship is strong when it comes to justifying killing people, but not when it comes to treating veterans.
I find this to be an interesting thread… personally, What really bugs me above all else is hollow military worship. Pretending to care about the military then stripping them of their resources (looking at you, GOP), giving them substandard medical care, I could go on & on. Raise the wages for your doctors! What the everloving fuck. $37k for a podiatrist… That’s really what the military thinks they should pay a fucking doctor. I’m a healthcare recruiter and the military medical jobs are a fucking joke… Worst pay, barely any experience necessary, trained by people who are also underpaid & not as educated as they should be… Take better care of your military, they’re not just bodies on the ground, they’re humans that need proper medical treatment. UGH okay I digress.
Terry Crews of Brooklyn 99 gives the best advice on physical fitness.
Seriously, his Reddit AMAis the most genuinely upbeat, positive actor interview ever. Another great bit:
To be honest, this was the healthiest advice for getting into working out I’ve ever read, and it really was the inspiration for me to start running and going to the gym.
No judgement, no “you need to be doing this” mess. Just a simple “do what you can. and feel comfortable”
Bilberries, also known as Huckleberries or Whortleberries, are very common in Ireland and were eaten frequently by the Ancient Celts.
In Ireland, bilberries are known as fraughan and are traditionally gathered on Fraughan Sunday which is the last Sunday of July. They were also harvested during the festival of Lughnasadh in August. The crop of bilberries was believed to represent how the other crops would prosper during that year
Bilberries contain antioxidants which defend the venial and arterial walls from dangerous fats. The berries are believed to make the blood brain barrier (the membrane that separates the brain from the blood that surrounds it) stronger which helps stop damaging substances from getting to the brain. In addition, they are anti-cancer agents and contain anthocyanidins which can protect the immune system.
