  • Did they correct and account for geography? Urban vs rural have different living conditions and other influential factors.

    Just a few obvious influences: My cousins had some food advantages being on a farm as its a little easier to keep pigs and chickens. Meanwhile in the Tristate area I had access to better medical. Education was a toss up in someways in that I had a lot of economic advantages at the cost of over capacity (FFF: Facility and Faculty always gets Fucked with the budget). My long time partner grew up in Wisconsin and just my graduating class was bigger than her entire high school, middle school, elementary.

  • Heh, I live in a racially mixed neighborhood where the Mexicans help the rest of the us find the "good stuff". I have been in an actual war zone but my neighborhood is at WW1 level amounts of black powder and badly made improvised explosives with copper, magnesium, and titanium sprinkled in for seasoning. Last year there were teenagers with eight inch mortars which I cannot convey how insanely illegal those are.

    Kind of amazing we haven't set the neighborhood or even a single house on fire now that I think about it.

  • Why? I am guessing you were in your 20's? As I understand it, we're a bunch of dumbasses until we hit our mid-30s. At least for me that's when my personal level of fuckery was dialed down. Goddamn miracle how many of us make it to our 50's :)

  • There is a premade meal delivery service with possibly the best product right now on the market. Unfortunately after I did a deep dive on them to figure out why their customer service sucked so much, I found the head of their "customer experience" had liked/heart emoji'd these two AI companies.

    After telling my experience to another dev, they noticed an advert by an AI company boasting how they provided an service for them.

    For tech savy people, the heart of the problem is because they used the user email address as the primary key in multiple places. So not only a varchar primary key but a natural one to boot! Not even a drop in the bucket but they lost ~10K USD of revenue for what should have been a 1 minute begin; update... SQL command by the DBA. Though the large amounts of AI makes me think they fucked themselves on that too. Another reason I suspect that; they had a data breach at the start of the month but haven't made a public statement or warned their customers. Might not even know, might not know how it happened, and how much was stolen.

  • My original thought in the actual shower was tilted more toward the absurd. All the elequent monologues and comments being washed out with "what?!" and "did you say something?!"

  • on my phone so terse response

    Chemical residues in the air are super toxic, yelling will cause you to take a deep breath of that. Explosives made to kill don't have many health & safety restrictions besides what's on the Geneva convention checklist (joke about Canadian soldiers)

    Also you may have injured your lungs but are not aware of that just yet. A lot of extremely injured people will understandably try to get away but are oblivious because of severe shock.

  • Never happened to me but another sadder response are veterans that post deployment find themselves on the verge of tears when presented with totally benign normal locations like being in a grocery store. Only becomes a concern if this response continually happens or increases in severity.

    Remembering seeing this happen to other veterans and partially experiencing it with myself is making me a bit more conscious of the people with some level of PTSD that is debilitating and resistant to treatment.

  • It's well known that males, especially American, are to put it mildly not so great at managing their emotions. after a long period of extreme stress, one sign they are having problems is with something called "cute aggression"

    Been over 20 years since I got out but I remember mentioning it in passing to the woman I was dating at the time who was a licensed therapist. She was insistent that a noticeable amount of post service and recently deployed men (and some women) experienced this for a time.

    After a year or so it stopped happening without needing treatment which is why I am guessing it doesn't get much if any attention. Personally I find it funny remembering having this shockingly visceral hate response to seeing the dough boy or that fucking fabric softener animated teddy bear.

  • Nah, do your 20 and be able to retire in your early 40's. I mean sure your back is fucked, probably need a couple knee surgeries, weird things like the Pillsbury doughboy commercials may trigger you into a murderous rage, and there's a possibility your anus is going to fall out at some point because of the anthrax vaccine... but all so worth it so that you get to retire in your 40's!

  • and lots of chairforce vets who worked the flight line.

    Reminds me of a time where I was stuck in one of the extra shitty versions of the humvee for about half an hour because I parked just outside of a command post that was directly adjacent to the flight line where half a squadron of F-22's were just spooling up to leave. All of these fucking things were parked with their jets pointed in my direction, so absolute maximum noise levels. I had no hearing protection because I didn't know I was going to this spot until someone told me to "just stop by" over the radio and grab something for my squadron's commander (LtC). If I tried opening the door it was just pure auditory pain and I couldn't just cover my ears because I had been issued a shotgun (I was a tech and this was a punishment prank) plus a satchel of stuff I was given strict orders to keep 100% control over. Tried to go park somewhere quieter but then the airmen on the flight line were signalling I couldn't leave.

    Anyway, I was told the reason the USAF's slogan is "Aim high!" is to make sure they don't shoot themselves in the feet.

  • Just made me think of it. In the movie Atomic Blonde, I appreciated how Charlize Theron's bruises and cuts accumulated as the movie progressed versus the normal brutal beatdown followed by the immediately following glamour guy/gal scene. Otherwise the movie is over the top but not enough to be detracting.
