Th good thing is you don’t have to! Both is the only right answer!

Most doctors are very “script-driven,” hence my comment on lack of critical thought. Makes sense some of it is insurance/pharma-mandated, but from what I’ve read/heard, medical schools by and large teach a “follow the decision tree” methodology and allow for very little “free thinking/creative problem solving.” So we end up with doctors who are book smart and don’t attempt to go outside the “decision trees,” costing lives and unnecessary pain/costs to patients. As I’ve always said about the MDG - dumbest group of “smart people” in the AF.

I also used to be paranoid about NFA registration (I still am vehemently against it), but reality is if in some crazy scenario the feds decided they needed to confiscate my NFA items, well that really sucks and is bullshit. But, that’s only a fraction of what I own, so I’m not going to be left gunless. Additionally, it’s not hard to do the paperwork and just not have any issues with the ATF. I’ve never talked to a LEO about my guns, ever, and I’ve had NFA items for many years at this point. If you’re concerned about dumb shit like shouldering (ATF dumb, not you), then just don’t do that at a public range (I have many times without issue by the way). Bottom line, NFA is unconstitutional bullshit, but it’s not a crazy process and owners of NFA items by and large have no issues in practical application.

I remember buying my first (multi-cal) thinking this’ll cover the calibers I care about, don’t need anymore suppressors. Ha, was I wrong!

I’m not really sold on the software even being improved. I’ve met too many doctors who obviously can crush academics, but in the real world are pretty retarded and lack critical thought/ability to adapt off script. The medical community is right up there with big pharma in my book of “people I don’t trust.”

Why not!? You’re missing out, big time

If you think your unit (or larger organization) is fucked without you, you have been misled. Everyone is a replaceable cog, including every single black border pipe hitter. Take pride in the good things you accomplish in your career, work hard at what matters, but don’t think for a second you’re the lynch pin that holds the whole thing together - you’re not. Operate with that mentality and you’ll be much less stressed and happier.

How about there’s a $4709 tax you have to pay to vote. Same thing Chris, you dipshit.

Unfortunately very true. Poor bastards.

Many podcasts I listen to (or have in the past), including Shawn Ryan, are primarily for the guests and their stories, not so much the host. If I have personal or trustworthy second hand knowledge of the host that makes me unwilling to support them, then so be it. So far, a lot of interesting stories and discussion have happened on Shawn’s show, even if he is a “whiny” SEAL.

I’d say it’s normal across the community. I wouldn’t classify it as whining per se, but more like the following when describing the majority of SEALs: Arrogant Self-centered Douche bag As always, I like to note there are great dudes out there in/from NSW, but they are the minority and not the average. Sometimes it’s easy, and sometimes it’s hard, to determine how an individual actually is from just listening to podcasts. You have to interact with them in person, or talk to trusted individuals who have interacted with them in person, to get a feel for the real person.

I feel like that’s what this is. However, the catch is they just received a massive ass kicking and almost got a second one (and that’s never far away for the time being). Hopefully new boss realizes continuing business as usual is a very dangerous, and likely short-lived, proposition.

The embassy shut down in 2019, with the same recommendation to US citizens at the time. If an American is still living in Venezuela, I question their intelligence and/or motive. This announcement by DoS is not earth shattering. Parallel topic - did we just remove someone who is replaced by someone who does nothing different WRT cartels, energy, etc. I don’t envy the current lady, she’s in between the cartel/regime and getting another massive American ass whooping.

When will SCOTUS get tired of hearing shit like this (because it’ll go there if this passes); it’s like dealing with petulant children who don’t get NO means NO

Why is it reprisal to assign him tasks that are within his job description? I’m not saying make him lick the bathroom floor clean every day, just look at the spectrum of what is legally assignable to him and pick things that are the least desirable. Someone has to do it, might as well be him.
