By Laboured Go To PostSorry for all of the questions but I am genuinely fascinated:It was a decent idea that kind of went in a bunch of different directions over time. Marines entry requirements are low - so to add an additional standard that would weed out any symbols that could cause division through initial training they said no tattoos. May have been seriously enforced for all of a month for all I know. Afterwards, more branches took that momentum and the anti-tattoo policy became more of an inspection and ban of gang/extremist tattoos.
1) Why the strict tattoo policy?
2) Why don't the US Marines where their unit insignias?
2 well.... marines have this thing where a marine is a marine is a marine is a marine. Their leadership sees anything outside of that whether it be skillset, base location, unit, etc to be an addition to the marine, not a defining characteristic of the marine. So you'll see Navy guys rocking a hat with their ship name, army guys wearing a fuckton of patches, air force ppl rocking nicknames and squadrons, etc. Marines don't - if anything, when a marine changes over to a different branch, they'll rock marine patches lol

Very interesting man, thank you.

By Laboured Go To PostI wanted to be more cynical about this but it is interesting. Assume he hasn't tried letting his wealth trickle down.
Before taking a pay cut, Price was the cliché of a young white tech millionaire. He lived in a beautiful house overlooking Seattle's Puget Sound, he drank champagne in expensive restaurants.huh
Afterwards, he rented his house out on Airbnb to help stay afloat.
A group of employees became sick of watching him turn up at work in a 12-year-old Audi and secretly clubbed together to buy him a Tesla.
By Cleff Go To PostPriti Patel is not only a corrupt idiot, but also awful to work for. Never would've guessed.
Liike, hard to understate how unprecedented this is and how much he might potentially burn the HO and Patel to the ground.
By Pac-12 Go To PostLadies and gentlemen, Tom Steyer.
fuk
Warren pumping $14M of a billionaire's money into ad buy while blasting Bloomberg is the most cynical thing of this election. JFC stop listening to the former Hillary staffers in your campaign.
I still want to believe that Warren is better than this, but the past few months have been very disappointing.

By Laboured Go To PostPoor people have too loud of a voice now. Surprised they haven't tried this sooner
Trump is a master troll. In a better timeline he would be a killer and harmless comedian.
By Lunatic Go To PostShe pretended to be Native American for years m8I like what Michael Moore said on his podcast. He ignored all her flaws for years because she was fighting for a good cause, and there's just so few people like her in DC.
least favorite part about warren is one again the "you just dont like her because shes a woman" circles have cropped up again ignoring his various documented flaws
still would be a good vp choice
still would be a good vp choice
My preference would be Sanders first, Warren second, but I'm not going to suddenly pretend that Warren labeling herself Native American on a registration form wasn't a shitty thing to do. Would still prefer her over Trump.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostSanders with Warren as vice would be decent enough. But I'm just throwing out idealistic shit.You'll have Biden/Clinton and you'll like it.
I don't think Warren would want to be VP if she's betting it all on a second round superdelegate pick
By FortuneFaded Go To PostYou'll have Biden/Clinton and you'll like it.I wouldn't be at all fucking surprised. Maybe even Michelle Obama. We like our dynasties here
My brother was saying Sanders and Warren need to have someone that is Latino or Black for the VP position to win those votes.
Southern Dem vote in the deep south never counts for shit in the electoral college system. Flippable state delegates would be a better metric. But hey maybe I'm dumb

By Laboured Go To PostHeartening to see Glenn is reformed and more moderate these days.Just needs a white suit and he's got the perfect colonel sanders cosplay god damn.
Joe placed 5th in Iowa and is gonna be either first or second in delegates after winning a single state

People pretend to give a shit. I don't think my cousins will survive China's plans there.
By Laboured Go To PostI don’t think anything is going to happen because basically every corporation in the world uses it.
ethical consumption is nigh impossible atm, you can't even make your own clothes by hand when the fabrics are also made by exploited af labor
