By DY_nasty Go To Postdepends. there are levels to interpreters.
some local dude that you just happen to build a rapport with on routine patrols through an area? honestly those types are lucky to even be allowed on a base and far too often those guys get lumped into the same group as the super hard to find college educated or incredibly dialect nuanced types that are fought over at every level.
the two guys i worked with the most were pretty high up. one was from iran actually. ran away when he was in his 20s and i met him when he was in his early 50s i think (could never guess his actual age). dude swore up and down he was a basketball prodigy and i only humored that bullshit until our basketball tourney. mcbuckets. talked all kinds of shit too. he actually got me smoking too. i think he flipped the time with the US into a full time position in kuwait actually. i know he had zero interest in coming to the us mainland. loved us money tho
another guy was from pakistan but he was rich af. legit joined for citizenship and i honestly feel he pulled on one over on everyone lol. cool motherfucker fr. stayed in those zumba classes turning aunties out. one of the smartest guys i've ever met. pretty sure he's in indonesia or vietnam now if things went according to keikaku.
most legit linguists are in supreme demand and eat free wherever they fuckin want
Incredible stories.
Keep telling my Czech sister in law to get into translation/interpretation because she speaks a bunch of languages. Her English is decent, fluent in German, a bunch of Slavic languages because of her birthplace and now her Cypriot Turkish is better than mine.
its better than this kill em all raze the ME stuff that's generally the norm on TV but Twitterverse wants to act like sitcoms are sacred ground for whatever reason...

Would be great if that whole country went into a massive turmoil and got rid of Erdogan.
For now, I will just dream.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostWould be great if that whole country went into a massive turmoil and got rid of Erdogan.This is easy for you to say when you're far away from any turmoil and the situation wouldn't effect you. Then the fact that getting rid of a despot doesn't always lead to a good thing...
For now, I will just dream.

Nah.
They'll weather it like the other 20 economic crisis the country has seen. Would be nice to be rid of AKP, though. Islamists are as much a poison to the nation as westerners with no idea about Turkish issues or dynamics outside of the propaganda they swallow to reinforce their already inherited prejudices.
By DY_nasty Go To PostHardcore islamist gov takes maybe idkWe only really have Frustrated_Me - who never posts in politics and has gone full french canadian - and Facism who actually have a grasp of the reality on the ground.
By Lunatic Go To PostWe only really have Frustrated_Me - who never posts in politics and has gone full french canadian - and Facism who actually have a grasp of the reality on the ground.well i mean, turkery is in between a lot of..... extremes in all regards really
either way a power vaccuum out there should be horrifying to everyone
By Lunatic Go To PostFacism please explain to us how it works because I would love to know the dynamics.
There's fucking loads to type on my thoughts and I'll get to it tomorrow for you.
It's a fucking ball-ache. Had about 6 paragraphs written but I'd rather get it all to you free of emotion.
AKP going off the deep end. Last time we had shit like this it lead to the 1980 coup and that sucked for everyone.
I used to shop at that King Soopers on occasion so this one is kind of a gut punch to me. Nothing else to say really...

So...let me be very clear. I am happy that there is an "effort" to stem the tide against attacks on Asians. Straight up. It's yet to be seen what they're going to actually do, or if anything is going to come from this, outside of just lip service. If this means more Asian businesses, homes, and people are protected from the ever increasing racism against Asians, in the state of MD, then good. All for it.
Having said that...
Fuck this dude. lmao. This performative wolf in sheep's clothing, headass mf'er. Trump and his fucking cabinet were rallying against Jewish people 4 fucking years straight, and this no neck having, Mr. Magoo Barney Rubble looking ass bitch ain't said a fucking word. Jewish community in MD is large af. Howard County been racist ass a bitch and nothing. MD police been planted evidence on anyone looking black, and nothing. Hispanics been getting it too, this whole fucking time. That man is showing out for his wife and nothing else. lmao
This shit is frustrating as hell, for a multiplicity of reasons. Fuck bigots, fuck anyone engaging in violence against Asians, but this dude can get the whole fuck outta here. lmao
Knowing MD police, it isn't even just gonna be people racist against Asians. Bet they were salivating after the conference. I don't blame anyone Asian or any victim for what's about to come, either. I don't trust MD police, that much.
This comes as Howard County officials revealed authorities are now investigating the burglaries at four Asian-owned businesses in February as “hate bias incidents.”
It’s a county that’s home to more than 60,000 Asian Americans.
“This is why Howard County has worked to not only respond, but to work to further prevent hate and violence against this community,” said Howard County Executive Calvin Ball.
Business owners in the community are expressing their concerns about their safety.
“We feel very scared, worried one day my restaurant will be broken in and I’m also worried about my employee safety,” said an unidentified business owner.
In response, the governor is calling on law enforcement across Maryland to immediately step up visibility to assist these groups.
Gov. Hogan said awareness bulletins have bene issued to help ensure the safety of Asian-owned businesses against further attacks. He’s urging anyone who is the victim or has witnessed a hate crime to please come forward.
The state’s hate crime hotline is 1-866-481-8361.

Be advised but my brokerage is in fact Bank of America's Merrill Lynch. I'm almost offended.
Oh, uh, I think actually BofA recently rebranded them as just Merrill. Not so almost offended now. As you were.
I'll have you know that Lynch is a very positive, very useful last name. There's almost no one I know with that last name who isn't above board in every way possible. There is also almost no one I know with that last name.
True story, though, when I was in high school/early in college, there was a supervisor in my POE who everyone said was an actual witch, and her last name was Lynch.
I, of course, reported all them sons of bitches spreading rumors to HR for being anti-Wiccan. Fucking intolerant bastards.

Am I poorly educated or something, why don't I know about any of this
In high school they just put a date next to the name of the state

Plus 1889 Republican? Come on
Right? Like party realignments didn’t occur
The larger point that parties in general have never really been above that shit is valid though
Breh this is meme worthy
“Anybody making more than $400,000 will see a small to a significant tax increase,” Mr. Biden told George Stephanopoulos. He added: “If you make less than $400,000, you won’t see one single penny in additional federal tax.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki later conceded that the $400,000 threshold was for “families,” not individuals. So if you’re a two-income household making $200,000 each, you could get whacked.
