  • I was in the US Marine Corps and deployed with the front lines for the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. I never once even considered putting my M-16 on burst. I also had a 240G, which we're taught to fire in little burts, about the time it takes to yell, "Run, fuzzy bunny, run!" Firing full auto is terrible practice. That Rambo style is for movies. Aiming is nearly impossible because of the tendency for the recoil to push the muzzle up, you're wasting rounds, and you can also overheat the muzzle, potentially melting it to the point of making the firearm inoperable. Additionally, full auto on a magazine-fed firearm means you'll have to reload in mere seconds, so the only way that would be helpful for maximum death is with one of those drums, which makes the rifle heavy as shit. Basically, full auto is pointless unless you're using a firearm specifically designed for that, fighting a military force, have logistics to support your amm needs, and are using a "machine gun" starting with at least a M249 SAW. Even then, anything beyond that would likely require a second person to help.

  • also known as Zoloft in the US

  • I was born, raised, and currently live in Florida. The guavas in Florida supermarkets are closer-tasting to plastic than the guavas I've had in the Caribbean.

  • Not so weird to me or most Cubans, but prolly to the rest of the world: malta with a spoonful or two of sweetened and condensed milk. Pour the malta into a glass, then add the milk and stir until evenly mixed. Drink. If you're not used to the flavor of malta, this combo may be too much to start off with.

  • I'm happy for you :)

    How did you come to like that? When was the first time you tried it?

  • I can see the Multipla being uglier than the Cybertruck because it looks like two differently-sized cars spliced together. However, there is no way I agree the PT Cruiser, Chevy SSR, and Aztec are uglier than the Cybertruck. Look at the Cybertruck again. It looks like a 10 year-old drew a truck on MS Paint using a mouse.

  • it might be the ugliest car ever made honestly, i urge people to find an uglier mass-produced car.

  • milkshake and broccoli (or any veggie)

    this one actually disgusted me

  • It's practically "illegal" to be obese in the US Marine Corps. Those that don't meet the requirements, get put on a special training program, generally have informal extra duties, are prevented from being promoted, lose opportunities for nice billets & duty stations, and can eventually get kicked out.

    Reqs were based on height to weight ratio. Of someone exceeded the reqs, then they could request one of those pinch tests. The 2nd option was mostly used by those that had a lot of muscle mass yet little fat.

  • I recently started watching Narcos about a week ago, and this is the first time I realize that the guy in this meme is the portrayal of Pablo Escobar 😮😋

  • environmental and animal welfare groups were least likely to have diverse leadership

    Interesting! I wonder why that would be the case. Any ideas?

  • my celebrity crush: Zoe Saldana. she kinda looks like an alien, but damn...she is the epitome of beauty, my Aphrodite 😍

  • I appreciate it very much, and I'm so sorry you were going through that! It wasn't your fault, everything they said were lies, and you were chosen because you are a wonderful person. Keep on keeping on! Don't forget to eat, and even if it 100% seems like it won't, it does get better. Feel free to reach out to me ❤️

    Edit: Fun Fact: My username is a reference to me coming back to myself after the abuse 🤪

  • YouTube Music with the bonus that you also get YouTube Premium. Cons is that you're supporting the Google.

  • better make it one of those Voodoo Rangers with their wine level alcohol percentage. a 6 pack of those will kick my butt for the rest of the day before I even realize it. I'll be like, "Hmm. This beer is pretty good despite it being fruity." ...5 mins later... "Omg, why am I so drunk? I need to go to bed." ...next morning... "What happened?"
