I hate other veterans who only wear 9-Line, Grunt Style and Black Rifle Coffee shirts and cover their trucks in punisher skulls. Like, I have no problem with old unit shirts or whatever. I wear my VMAT and USS Wasp golf shirts all the time, I even have a GI Joe shirt I like, but more often than not I'm wearing something that has dick to do about wasting tax payer dollars while I sported a bad hair-do. Yesterday when I went out to get my $11 haircut and beard trim I saw so many fucking guys in Gruntstyle shirts that I kept count, and I got in to the 20s in the hour I spent waiting at the coffee place next door. Be proud of your service, but don't make that shit your entire personality after you get the fuck out

9-line? What an incredibly unfortunate choice of brand name. What's next, Quik-Clot brand kitchen utensils?

In my experience, the guys who were faggots when they were in are still faggots ten years later.

I recall an admin boot asking me, "what kind of tents do you guys use in the field?" He also lied about enlisting to go admin. "I wanted to be a grunt but I had to take an open contract" (or whatever the term was.) He told this fib IN the admin office, the one place it could almost immediately be exposed, so he was a liar in addition to being a chickenhawk. I guarantee that dude walks around with crossed rifles on his back and a scorching high-and-tight flattop to this day.

Nothing against admin guys, mind you. Choosing a non-combat MOS shows maturity and wisdom. Just don't talk piss and vinegar when you won't back it up. Faggot.

Admin is one of the two jobs I can imagine that being true with atleast, they and bulk fuel handlers have jobs I consider much, much worse than taking fire on occasion

This is something that's been brought up in other threads, but I feel like it applies to this thread too. It's common behavior I really don't get. Why is it that most people don't really use or understand the Internet? It's been around long enough that you'd think, especially in a country like the United States, that most people would be comfortable with using it, know how to use it, and so on. While people do tend to use social media and mainstream websites, they still don't "get" the Internet.

Sometimes it irritates me, but other times I'm genuinely curious. Not everyone is going to be a weirdo like me who is on the Internet a lot and that's fine, but I start to worry when people don't even know how to put a web address into the address bar. Instead they put the web address into Google. Why? Why would you do that? It's mostly boomers who do that, but I've also noticed other generations doing it too.

I’ve had a few call center jobs doing web support and it’s pretty surprising at the number of people who do this. Sometimes they will go along like they are following the steps and like ten minutes in they tell you “oh I’m not seeing what you’re describing it just says…” because they’re on Google or bing or whatever the fuck else.

Serious one: when grown adults do cutesy baby talk in a professional context. It's usually women in their 50s or occasionally men in their 20s who do that when asking people to do shit for them. Their voice goes up an octave and they go all breathy and giggly and it makes me want to help them less. Nonce behaviour and they look ridiculous.

Sometimes I wonder if Black Rifle Coffee is just repackaged Folger's. And it's headquartered in Salt Lake City; since when do Mormons sell coffee?

Alas, don't you EVER speak ill of 5.11. They may be expensive and pander to tactitards, but their khakis are the comfiest pants I have ever owned.

On that thought, I don't understand the hate for cargo pants/shorts. I like having more pockets. If that makes me a dork, then you can blow me.

They don't do dumb shit to be attractive to men. They do dumb shit to compete against other women.

The expectation being that if they win the "competition" they'll get men.


No one wants these things. On-Star is built-in as a post-sale revenue source. Integrated GPS is used to collect data, which can be sold as another revenue source.

Backup cameras, tire pressure control, electronic seat adjustments, and other crap are there to increase the price of vehicles. Manufacturers make their money off of financing, not off building vehicles. The higher the sales price, the more money they'll make.

TPMS and Back up cameras are both federal mandates, thank the Government for those. If you want a truly decontented vehicle you can get one, just be prepared to order it, as aside from basic bitch pick ups they are rarely found on dealer lots. All GM vehicles can be ordered sans On-Star and not turned off, as in no hardware. The RPO code is UE0 and it would need to be ordered via COPO through a dealer's fleet sales manager.

5.11 pants and polos are fucking legit. And I like black rifle coffee, atleast their darker blends. They don't burn their beans and the quality is good at the price point, their mediums roasts are weirdly bitter but my wife actually loves their light roasts for cold brew.

Tattoos. Almost everyone in my age group has at least one tattoo. I remember being taught that tattoos were usually a thing only veterans, bikers/sluts, or convicts had. Now everyone has at least one gaudy ass tattoo covering their skin that they feel the need to show off to the world.
Maybe I'm just a whiny spergcel, but I find tattoos on women unattractive. I don't care if they're "done well", I prefer natural skin. If you have something you cherish that much that you want it engraved on something, make a painting.

I especially don't get tattooing your children's names, or in some extreme cases, their fucking feet or even faces on you. That shit is NOT going to age well.

Eh, there's a time and place for everything.

The shorts? I wouldn't wear them in public, but around the house, ok.

The bikini bottoms are fine.

If you've got it, flaunt it. (A little bit)

Maybe I'm a bit unhappy I have nothing to flaunt anymore.
