Year 1 of military promotion testing, miss promotion cutoff by 1.5 points, year two scored higher than previous year, miss cutoff by 10 points, year 3 score even higher than both previous years, miss it by 25 points. 300 eligible promotees in my career field, 43 promoted. 52k eligible promotees service wide, 9k promoted. Now, i cannot be the only person with a brain here. I have only a limited gathering of common sense and knowledge here. But if we need warfighters, and experience, enough to shake china at its core. Wouldnt prematurely separating a bunch of people make less sense? Yes everything comes down to dollar amount and how much we can spend. But when we leave billions in equipment in Afghanistan, then pour billions into ukraine for equipment, the same ampunt as the equipment we left in Afghanistan. Then cut the only people who know what they are doing because lets be honest jets and drones arent anything without people. They are the tool and we are the force that makes them deadly. Well you can kick people out and then just recall them if there is a war but by then people are 1.out of shape because they are no longer expected to be in shape. 2. Out of touch because they may be out of the service for who knows how long 3. Unmotivated because why would i willing get up to serve the same military that told me i wasnt good enough to keep and then send me on my way. But spineless politicing "leaders" wanna brown nose congress so they can keep their cushy 200k a year salary. 200k a year, literally 4 times what i get paid when i do 10× more work than they do. Take that shit out of their salary. Take all that shit out of their salary. Congress, the president, the governing officials they run this country into the ground when others suffer for their actions.

I just wish i had the platform and power to speak out against this stuff. But nothing is ever resolved through protests, for a constitution centered around the people. Somehow the government spun it around to focus on them. Insane.

I learned a valuable lesson about ordering new appliances in the modern age of convenience delivery. I was under the impression that installation was part of the delivery process, however that's apparently a courtesy that's not obligated. So here I was being foolish thinking it was going to be a simple matter of bringing the new washing machine, unhook the old machine, haul it and swap it with the new. However the delivery people were of the understanding I was to unhook the old machine myself, then haul it to the end of the driveway. At which point they'd drop off the new one and I was to carry it back inside the house to reinstall the machine. Didn't help I had a bad valve that meant I had to then crawl underneath the house to turn off the main water. In the end they never took my old washer, so I've just got it sitting in my front yard until I can find someone else to take it off my hands. What a hassle!

Man #1 (at Man #2): "To anger an honest person, lie to them; To anger a narcissist, tell them the truth." Man #2 (at Man #1): "You're not autistic, because you are nothing like my 5-year old cousin! You're a narcissist! You're you!" Man #3 (at Man #1): "Man #2 is wrong! You may have narcissistic traits, but none of them are toxic." Man #4 (at Man #1 about Man #3): "He's reassuring!" Man #5 (at Man #1 about Man #4): "He's weird!" Man #6 (at Man #1 about Man #2): "He's an ignorant bully and 'narcissist' is nothing but a buzzword!"

aaahhh it was so good but that ending! what a ball drop! did they just not know how to end it!? A FUCKING CROCODILE?! REALLY!? UGH!!! this series was ment to be down to earth! that was why it was so good! it should have parelleled the first issue! him going about his daily life but intersplice his riddler shit! fill in those gaps from the movie! and mr stones murder is soooooooooooooooo lack luster! mr stone was so close to edward, for 5 years he was right there, the back bone of falcones entire enterprise, right there upstairs. and thats how he kills him? not even with his own hands? but people hes never met, savage, the da, the mayor, these people get personalized hands on murders? gimme a break! *sigh* still a great comic, but man that last issue was nothing more than a slide show that didnt even need to be shown. it could have ended at 5 issues. plus he saved that lady? what? i know the comics arent canon, and that the movie riddler is super diff from the comic one, but this just makes no sense. why save her? you realize how many like her or worse off you killed? the movie riddler it makes sense, he didnt care about anyone but himself. but the comic character apparently cares? so then why flood the city?! *long sigh* i should have stopped reading at 5. not so horrible, not that bad really, just had such high hopes and the rest was such high quality. felt so rushed. too bad. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/84/30/4f/84304fdf93dee2d90cdf9a650cbb3bb6.jpg

After doing everything within my power to help someone, they still threw me under the bus. This is why my faith in humanity is basically nonexistent. Humans are the most selfish creatures to ever exist. How hard is it to put urself and your irrational wants to the side? When i was deployed i watched as 2 people gave zero regard for me and my safety. Especially when i cut my lunch early by about 40 minutes, rushing to eat as fast as i could so one person could eat food before the only place on the entire installation that served food closed. Rather than see the common courtesy they took a full lunch, leaving me by myself to watch 6 people who at any point could gang up on me and kill me. They clearly didnt like Americans and didnt listen to my commands as someone in authority to them. That single moment alone caused me to rethink my entire being and life about how no one gives a damn about anyone but themselves. Fast forward to yesterday me and my gullible nature spend an hour of my day helping a guy for a mistake that wasnt my fault and rather than see the kindness in that act he tells my supervisor bad things about me to get me in trouble because he was mad he didnt get what he wanted. There is pure evil in this world i swear, there is no good in anyone.
