  • Go set theory!

    Religion is a subset of the set of belief systems.

    Elon Musk is a member of the set of billionaires. We could define a set with one member, Elon Musk. It would be a subset of billionaires.

  • That's not woke, that's blackmail.

    That's worse. That sort of shit turns ignorant and gullible people anti-LGBT and makes their already difficult lives even harder.

    who need a cause to give her their miserable lives purpose

    Tell them to fight global warming. It is the problem that makes all other problems all but irrelevant in comparison.

  • Alan Turing, a mathematician and gay man, is right up there with Oppenheimer, Churchill, Macarthur, and Stalin in level of importance towards the allied victory in WW2.

    I'm a veteran. A lot of really good troops in technical fields tended to not serve all that long due to better quality of life outside of the military. An ace technical troop is worth their weight in gold.

    Various types of mechanics and technicians, logisticians, network admins, equipment operators, pilots, various engineers, and other technical troops are the real power of the US military. Most of those are more technical than physical.

    It isn't brawn that keeps around 100 USN ships deployed around the world at any given time. It isn't brawn that gives the USAF a 48 hour turn around time for operating anywhere in the world. It isn't brawn that keeps large ground forces supplied at bases all around the world. It is education, brains, and training.

  • After doing WFH for several years, I'll only take a job on site as a last resort or for like double my pay. Then I would cut my time until FIRE roughly in half. I don't hate doing work. I hate having a huge chunk of my time taken up by having to work 40 hours.

    If work weeks were cut to 24 or even 32 hours, I might even reconsider the FIRE path.

  • As crappy as it is, work is still getting done. US military SOP is if the ranking person is unavailable for the next in line to take command.

    It just sucks that it is becoming a PITA to them and probably pushing out quality troops that can easily obtain other employment.

  • You don't seem to get it. It isn't the admin or mods I'd worry about. It is getting sued by one of the many media outlets whose articles you have posted in the entirety. Remember when Napster was a thing and teenagers were getting sued by RIAA?
