People who lack personal conviction are those who haven't developed a strong sense of their own values and beliefs, or who struggle to act in accordance with them. This can manifest as indecisiveness, a tendency to be easily swayed by others, or difficulty making decisions, particularly in situations where there are no clear external rules. 

Lack of Personal Values:

No Guiding Principles:

People without strong convictions may not have a clear set of values to guide their actions.

Easily Influenced:

They might be easily swayed by the opinions or behaviors of others, lacking the internal compass to navigate social situations or make independent choices

Difficulty Making Decisions:

Without a strong sense of self, making choices, even small ones, can be challenging

Consequences of Lacking Conviction:

Indecisiveness:

A lack of conviction can lead to chronic indecisiveness, making it hard to commit to plans or goals.

Low Self-Esteem:

Constantly seeking external validation can erode self-confidence and lead to feelings of inadequacy.

Vulnerability to Manipulation:

People without strong convictions can be more susceptible to being manipulated or taken advantage of by others.

Feeling Lost and Aimless:

A lack of personal conviction can leave individuals feeling like they lack purpose or direction in life. 

Reasons for Lacking Conviction:

Negative Past Experiences:

Trauma, abuse, or a lack of positive reinforcement as a child can hinder the development of self-worth and conviction.

Poor Role Models:

Growing up with inconsistent or absent role models can make it difficult to form a strong sense of self.

Anxiety and Depression:

Mental health issues can significantly impact a person's ability to form and act on personal convictions.

Negative Self-Talk:

Internalizing negative messages and beliefs about oneself can create a cycle of self-doubt and indecisiveness.

Societal Pressures:

Constantly comparing oneself to others and feeling the pressure to conform to societal expectations can also undermine personal convictions

So it really wasn't about states' rights

Having come from reddit and already boycotting Facebook/Meta I don't feel hardcore using only Lemmy

It meets nearly all of my needs, and if the userbase picks up it will certainly eventually fill those needs as well

Ew it touched Instagram, is it contagious?

I always forget that he starts the joke as the driver 🤣

Don't let Kegseth drunk drop it

That's one way to say denazification was bullshit

... and they're gonna need a bone marrow sample to verify

OK, so let's prove it then.

Gather up the irrefutable concrete evidence and watch most of the people of this country either refute it or ignore it because, to them, the alternative is too difficult to face

Direct commissions happen all the time.

Civilians who have special skills that are critical to sustaining military operations, supporting troops, health and scientific study are able to receive a direct commission upon entering service. These officers usually occupy leadership positions in law, science, medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nurse corps, intelligence, supply-logistics-transportation, engineering, public affairs, chaplain corps, oceanography, merchant marine affairs, and more.

The U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps exclusively use a DCO program to commission their officers.

Technically they qualify for any benefit any other soldier with their rank would be eligible for. Though, I doubt they would ever claim anything considering their private benefits far exceed anything they would get from the government, even at the rank of Lt Colonel

They could issue orders to lower ranking soldiers under the general authority of their rank, but they would be issuing those orders to servicemembers under someone else's command...which wouldn't fly with that commander

The offices these kind of people work in is very casual, much like a civilian office where no one holds any particular rank

Yes they are. Those who don't take them help depopulate the planet

I've seen this before

They're never actually put in charge of anyone or really anything

They usually don't even walk around in uniform because they have no idea how to behave like an officer or even a member of the military at all

These investigations would have been allowed to carry on after Trump took office?

Jack Smith's cases against Trump are winding down

Special counsel Jack Smith begins winding down his other Trump case

Special counsel Jack Smith expected to wind down Trump prosecutions: Sources

Jack Smith plans to step down before Trump takes office

Exactly

Trump fired them up and sent them down there specifically to "fight like hell"

The most extreme groups were given heads up in advance and came prepared for it

There is in no way this was ever a peaceful protest

This alone could have convicted Trump had he not dodged prosecution by stealing the 2024 election
