You haven't had positive experiences with ex-military (usually male) managers? How many of those have you had?

Too many and most of them elected themselves to be leaders in situations I was in because they foolishly but decisively believed they were going to have to take charge in order for things to happen.

What exactly makes his opinions and views extremist?

Define your terms precisely and back them up with evidence please.

And I'll say that my observation is that not only did it not improve my social skills, it didn't measurable improve those in the various friend groups, some of whom, 40 years later and still gaming, are just about as awkward as when they were in high school.

You are conflating awkwardness with poor communication skills, they aren't the same thing at all.

Plenty of charming, boisterous people can walk into any room and dominate it with their charm, DND won't teach you that, but it will teach you how to converse in your own voice. The point isn't not to be awkward.

It really doesn't matter that it is a fantasy, I think that makes it a more powerful as a teaching tool not less.

Also eeew no, almost all the managers I have had that were in the military (ESPECIALLY men) have trash leadership skills where if someone is having a hard time their solution is 1. ignore it, men dont like to talk about feelings 2. gaslight them into shutting up 3. unintentionally or intentionally bully the person in front of their peers so they try harder out of fear.

me stalking you to figure out your secret safe path to hidden unlooted warehouse and then kill you and steal your plan

runs away

you finally remember your goal YOU NEEDED to accomplish today was go the secret stash and you stop collecting flowers and get annoyed at yourself for getting completely distracted

Does that mean all Israeli special forces are commandos when they are operating around humanitarian aid organizations?

I mean fair, but why not use the term "special forces"?

I guess my unconscious bias stems from the fact I can't remember the last time US media referred to US special forces as commandos.

Can we stop calling them "commandos" I never see the media use that language for other countries special forces? It makes it sound like kids playing with action figures.

I am sorry but unless you had an awful time and quit immediately that is essentially impossible.

I know this streamer is not favored by everyone, but the information is what matters

Meh, I will defend every single intellectual point Hasan has made at least that I have seen. He is smart af and funny as hell to boot.

certainly not academic thugs like Elsevier

I don't know, its just things keep happening that seem very scary, kind of rushed and strangely not synchronized with a wave of similar acts in a way I would expect from a coup in the US and Israel drawing the US into a regional war.

It seems like a hail mary, not a confident move by Netanyahu.

Hiatus Kaiyote, by far and away, it isn't even close.

I don't go to concerts lots so zero.

I don't know what will happen but if the US had fullthroatedly supported this I think we might have locked in WW3 like fuckkk "dodged a bullet" is the wrong phrase, more like adjacent timeline vertigo?

edit can we get independent verification of this? As of yet I can't find any other news websites saying this.

edit 2 thank you for links!

Definitely, but we are talking about the US here, we are conditioned from a young age to become aroused by the imagery of disposable cheap things being used once and then thrown away.

To the US psyche, tacky disposable things are an expression of our superiority and power since we can choose in all of our material wealth to simply toss away the things around us and get new ones as much as we like, for any reason.

A fancy porcelain plate on the otherhand to the US psyche is a symbol of weakness, of an inability to break with the past, of a fragility and fear that there is something beautiful that could be broken that cannot be easily replaced and that must be treated with respect. This is seen as how savages think and act by USians, not consciously necessarily but our worldview was shaped this way for a reason.

Move Fast And Break Things

Do you ever think about how it would be the most natural thing in the world for US "conservatives" to treat the primary concern for conservation as the health of the natural landscapes around us? You have to ask yourself why under the extremophile environment of US society that this isn't even considered an intellectual incongruity most of the time?
