Some parts of the military try to use the scouts as a vector for reaching potential recruits. definitely had a few army recruiters come by my troop. Also the rank structure, uniforms, focus on leadership, etc certainly looks a bit military-ish.
And fwiw, I don’t think the scouts does much to address incel behavior. Maybe it helps with gangs, idk.
Is this a thing people say unironically? It’s as dumb as saying “just go be a movie star”
In my experience, this highly depends on the college. Mine really didn’t do shit for me as far as networking goes. And what connections i did make didn’t end up helping anyway. Maybe it starts mattering more once you’ve got some experience?
I’ve heard there’s an enormous demand for experienced tradespeople, but apprenticeships are pretty much full up…
Kind of a nobody-wins situation. Money to be made, just not by anyone on the ground floor.
Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there
I mean, presumably he isn’t just taking them to the junkyard… Someone out there is probably still driving those cars
Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.
Unfortunately, from what I’ve heard, there absolutely are weird old dudes who will notice and comment on it
I’m not sure he fully grasps the concept of his own mortality
Damn, he was almost close to making a valid comment about how wildly overpriced funerals are today, then instead went full bore into super racism
Rachel sounds like a fun hang. Kinda like a reverse Karen.
Yeah, I guess in their minds it’s preferable to entirely exterminate a local population than to assimilate with them
On the one hand this is creepy as hell
On the other fuck mosquitoes
The bottom arrow is, definitionally, pointing left.
If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?
No, because humans have a pretty clear forward direction. Screws don’t. You say turn a screw to the right, do you mean make the top of the screw move right or the bottom move right?
Most people assume the top, but not all, and the language is ambiguous.
If you’re looking head on to the screw/nut/whatever then we’re talking about the top of the screw/but/whatever.
You can also imagine if the nut was actually a wheel. Which way would you spin it to make it roll left or right.
Confused the hell out of me at a young age. That’s how I came around to thinking of it
It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don’t travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don’t often have to tell people where we’re from who don’t already have a good grasp of American geography.
Also, frankly, people can usually tell we’re American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.
You could probably sell Americans on lowering the drinking age in many States, but there’s some big legal hurdles and pretty much everyone agrees we’ve got bigger problems to deal with first.
It’s typically both. So little chlorine you won’t notice unless you have a particular condition like op or you’re doing something weird like growing algae. You can also just leave a glass of water out for a while and the chlorine will evaporate out of it.
Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.
