They’re not fooling me. This is obviously for the Hulkbuster.

Well, no one wants tariffs. No even the Vatican!

(Sorry, I’ll let myself or now)

Respectfully, Trump says a lot of things…

Oof!

Well said Martok! 👍🏻

The people of northern Europe, you have your shit together! Can you influence the rest of Europe (only slightly) and teach the rest of the world how you do it? I think we really need healthy dose of European influence right about now!! Thank you! ♥️

This is deeply depressing, obviously. But, isn’t it at least a little fascinating? Like, the CIA (actually, secret services at large) knows way more than us that Trump is a Russian asset. And their mission is to protect the United States of America. So this places them in such an extraordinary position!

This is going to sound incentive, and believe me, I’m also a victim of Trump so I’m a bit disappointed to find this interesting, but this will make for an/several epic movie(s)!

But to be clear, millions will suffer/die, so it is really all bad. Just… Fascinating bad! 😬

I played Animal Crossing, for the glory of the empire!

Hey, I just want to say that in case you did give therapists, SEVERAL times, a chance to be a solution, and they showed themselves to be charlatans, you may want to consider that they are absolutely not the end all be all that some people may sound them to be.

I don’t have the answer, but there are leads to follow still. Someone here was suggesting giving your time to help others. If possible, this may actually help. Or not… Then try something else. Just don’t think therapists know it all, because they sure as fuck don’t…

What an absolute fucking nimwhit! (the person in the dress)

I served for decades. In operations. There are no genders that are problematic. Not at one end, not at the other end and not anywhere in between…

Because… Cumberbatch…

Also late to the party, but I feel like Manmade (_ https://manmadebrand.com/_) deserves a mention. Very comfortable and pleasant fabric. 👍🏻

This is what the last paragraph is referring to.

Edit: sorry, I meant to reply to OP, but “oh well”, is also my response then!

Disclaimer: I did not read the article, so my response is to your comment only.

My two cents: you just described what an NCO might say. Commissioned Officers have the responsibility to manage the violence applied by the NCOs in such a way that civilians/non-combatants (of all nations, even/especially the enemy nation(s) civilians) are not armed whenever that is possible.

That’s the whole “professional” thing. Just like a doctor (a professional) can’t pick and choose who they help, or a lawyer (a professional) can’t decide he doesn’t like his client, so he’ll sabotage his defense, etc. An officier is a professional because he makes sure the violence applied by the members of the military that are under his command do not commit immoral acts (plundering, rape, murder, etc).

Most modern military forces extend that responsibility to NCOs though, so that every members have the responsibility to not follow illegal/immoral orders. But that’s another point…

Something similar happened in Canada a few decades ago. I came across a survivor of that episode a few years ago. He was still mad about it (understandably).

I love Q!
