We were on opposite shifts, both supervisors. During shift turnover the very first he thing he would do is go thru workload and nitpick “why didn’t you do this?” and then continually question my response “well you could have just cloned yourself into two people?” basically he was never happy with our work unless-really he was unhappy and blamed me directly if there was any work at all for him to do during day shift. Then, he would complain to the bigger boss all day long about we were lazy. Meanwhile when I cam in to turnover I basically never did this and would just what the workload was and so my other things before letting them go.

If I did try to argue “why didnt you do x” it almost inevitably ended with the bigger boss telling me to fuck off and that they “worked so hard”, they didn’t.

And it just went on and on like this. He loved to take credit for other people’s work, wouldn’t take responsibility for his own mistakes, would avoid direct confrontation if a bigger boss wasn’t around to back him up, basically I strongly disliked him and his lack of good faith teamwork.

True

Well I really like both the accoustic and original Sonething Human. I also like Drones (song in particular), Newborn, oh and I quite like all of the alternative song versions towards the end of 20th Century edition of Absolution Album

The intro to be with you sounds like it might up my alleyway

Maybe I’m just being obtuse but I really feel Matt Bellamy has the skill to be amongst the greatest artist (at lesst in pop/rock) but its like hes just not getting at it the right way or something. Its like hes edging greatness and that is frustrating

I think I listened to Cryogen and wasnt a huge fan but I’ll definitely see about the others.

Also it seems ones.enjoyment of a song tends to grow parabolically with time so if I really wanted I could just listen to it a lot and eventually id like it. Im experiencing this with Tool now. Never used to like them really but I have been enjoying the Aenima album

Muse has some great songs and good albums as well; however since Something Human I’ve been nothing but disappointed, personally.

We need to create the Robux cube ASAP

Thats wild

Overwhelming sense of doom…im familiar but not inclined to enjoy lol

Yeah so…decaffeinated everything then.

It sounds like patience amd long term persistence is needed…which casts doubt on viability but if others can do it I suppose maybe I can too

Prescribed for depression before anyone including myself had any inclination towards ADHD diagnosis.

OK thats makes a lot of sense. I know im prone to ‘just winging it’ and thst works like 80% of the time but like the 20 or so I sometimes am literally or more figuratively up the crik without a paddle.

I like to ask people i meet IRL if they have a lawn. Follow up question is why then?

A lot of people seem to be unaware of the history and origin of lawns. Put oversimply, they are and have always been about gross excess resources expenditure to show those around you how rich you are.

Cost effective? As in there is some profit or monetary recuperation? If so thats really good. Or just cost effective in that it is too expensive.

I suppose prices of chips et al increasing as of late is a factor maybe. We’ll we all appreciate you.

Stupid is dead accurate.

They claim to value nonbiased public education, yet clearly- they bias the education given in the areas they are dominant in. In public schools at, home, and any where elsen 2 MAGA are present, circle jerking ensues…they honestly need serius help / teaching-although many aren’t teachable true

I’ve lived in a area thet is mostly red area from birth until about age 20…

It is absolutely stunning the level of ignorance from many (most) MAGA. The circle jerk eachother something fierce.

Traitorous is an appropriate word for many, but for many-also- they are so uneducated, so uninformed, so lacking in critical thinking and accurate up-to-date news that, for those people, they may as well be considered retarded; and are victim to the FOX et al news and media sources. I dont know how the nation will ever get this cohort to change, unless there is a concerted (and well effective I guess)effort to improve education and some sort of changes to cable news, Facebook news and other uncool places where these peoppe get their news.

The rural people problem…

I’m not European, so I don’t know too much about Eurovision.

It seems to me, that it is quite a safe, nonviolent, positive action that people can take to voice dissent on an international scale.

I suppose you are correct that Eurovision ‘isnt about politics’…but ethically speaking im not sure that I agree. It isnt going to hurt Israel all that much but it may help for some people to recognize that they are doing naughty bad violent things.

If you dont mind telling, what country do you live in?

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in the world about the scale of the USA’s problems, what individuals in the military do, what caused them enlist, how our population is orders of magnitude greater than most nations and how that has such a powerful effect and consequence to our democracy / republic.

I dont go around making these wild claims about other nations but many folks outside US see no issue for to make uninformed, inflammatory statements about us.

Its easy for them say : military bad Its true but not comprehensively true, as if it would be so easy for us to just stop. This shit is an incomprehensible large machine that has inertia…and it truly truly sucks. But can we please prioritize blaming and holding accountable the mother fuckers making these damn decisions instead of a mother fucking janitor or an accountant or truly does fuck all and definitely isnt killing anyone.

No doubt…unquestionably so, there will be investigations, eventually into the nature of attacks recently thst led to innocent lives being killed-- hopefully it is public enough for us to peer inside those happenings…

‘Trying to use logic’ Thinking

Could have said that from the beginning. Im not attacking anyone or being a child because I am in fact an adult. When someone asks for clarification typically there is a response-this is how communication generally happens between adults.

Like this ‘What did you mean by that?’ ’ I meant this.’ ‘OK. Because I thought you meant this, great.’

So no, I do not see why you delayed a response because it could have been far less dialogue had you said ‘its not that deep bro, I just dislike this thing happening and I didn’t think too muchh about what I typed’

Again with the popularity thing?

‘Soldier boy’ singled out because you used the term incorrectly showing a lack of understanding (thats OK Im here to help-- I do understand, you just have to set aside some ego)

‘Jarhead’ singled out because it was used incorrectly showing a lack of understanding again.

No, you do not need to do anything. I can see you lack the positive spirit of truth seeking, accountability and international cooperation and I cannot help that.

Popular agreement does not equate to correctness.

You did reply. ‘Not worth replying to’ - parroting the others, riding the popularity…

‘Jarhead’ is a word-it does not apply to me. Using inciteful words you do not understand or rather do not understand the intended target (me) whom you’ve not taken one ounce of effort to understand

While

Making a simple, short, low effort claim, I see this and I want more information to understand your positions more clearly.

You, on the other hand, could not care less about what my position is even though I am in a place to understand this issue on a more intimate level…

Group X v Group Y The less those two groups attempt to understand eachother the more likely chaos, division, hatred, and or violence is to occur.

‘Resign’ A lot of people did have this opportunity, but many did not because they have a 4-10 year contract when they enlisted initially. So, this is mostly fair-and a many people have resigned at the end of the contract, and many have not

One can resign thru being a conscientious objector but Im not sure how that works and likely your average sailor, soldier, or marine does not know how it works or even that it is an opportunity. Still, lack of knowledge-legally is not a defense, but ethically it is a consideration.

‘Dont sign up in the first place’ This is valid. However, for many people, they are living in poor conditions and feel themselves to have no other options economically to sustain their life. They are still complicit yes, but it is worth considering. Making a decision like under duress is not exactly informed consent.

Your last point I also agree with you. It is very unfortunate, the conservative MAGAs…It is shameful and disgusting how they have risen to power and maintained that power.

But once you are on that ship with years left on a contract, it is a little naaive to think they can just stop. I would be keen to hear from someone who is German and has had Nazi party ancestors chime in. Or just German in general Im aware you are all quite liberal and educated about your past, I believe.

Ill give it a read.

I just think that (1) its mentally easy to quickly assign blame on others, (2) it is not necessarily accurate when one does not specify whom (which person(s) (3) or aligned with the current international legal standards for crimes or violations. It might be unreasonable to expect ‘everyone’ to hold the same values as high level policy makers, but it is a point to be made.

But the statement that all are complicit but not responsible is a modern accurate statement in my viewpoint.

All Americans that pay taxes are complicit. Unless they have made every reasonable attempt to leave the country. (Myself included).

There are varying levels of responsibility and accompanying guilt- but this is sort of a slippery slope to think like this but it is true.

An international trial would not convict all Americans of a crime and then sentence them. The trial would convict ‘natural persons’ whom made the decisions, and also ‘natural persons’ whom performed aggression such as a drone operator, possibly aviators, (but only true in Nuremberg to a limited extent ) but there are thousands aboard the ship whom are indeed complicit but

I would not sentence them to death, writ large, or else. At the most a fine or some injunctions regarding federal or military employment and or voting.

The wars in Sudan— The war in Ukraine– I feel bad for all of them, I know many Russians are forced to die at the hands of the state. To much lesser degree some Americans are forced to facilitate war thru less bold or violent mechanisms.

Undoubtedly the Iranians noninvolved are suffering orders of magnitude greater than the ‘boys’ ln ship. But comparing suffering is not helpful on the individual level. The system level, it is certainly.

Even though some I feel bad for may be responsible or complicit in the violence.

And online, you and many other American supporters whine saying “Not all of us are like that!”.

I am American, I am not an ‘American Supporter’.

I agree the ‘not all of us are like that’ argument is bad.

Im fact I hate that the country is doing what it is doing and has been for so long. It sucks, its embarrassing.

What I am I really saying is that responsibility for the acts of violence, is often attributed to the ‘wrong’ people. And so I was seeking some clarification.

I would agree with a Dutchman or an Iranian saying ‘America and all of its citizens are responsible for the violence, and it is bad’. I can accept this is a fairly true snd congruent statement.

I would not agree with an American saying that an unspecified group of people (individuals)onboard a ship are responsible for the violence whilst they share no responsibility in it, are morally superior and clean.

‘CARRYING OUT’ also would require some explaining.

If were to host Nuremberg 2.0 for America. ‘CARRYING OUT’ could mean lots of things.

The fact is that the causality of our acts of violence are distributed—and if we begin to assign levels of complictness to individuals and groups we ought to do so carefully. Voting, for example, is not the only way one can be complicit (or increase their complictness). Agency is a real factor.

Incorrect My argument was asking for more information and the commenter has yet to make reply.
