Here you go. They’re listed in ascending order, left to right, top to bottom. The only exception is Specialist and Corporal. Those are both E4 rank. The difference depends on if the job is combat arms, or not. Corporal is combat arms, specialist is not. The guy with the armband that has a visible M on it is Military Police. They have ranks, but they’re considered outside of the hierarchy while on duty, which is essential for them to be able to effectively do their jobs. That’s why his armband covers his rank.

People like him are monsters.

Hear hear.

I felt like I had it all figured out when I was 19 in the Army. It wasn’t until a few years later that I realized I didn’t know shit. These men are young, kids really, but it doesn’t feel appropriate to call them boys considering everything they’ve done to get into this picture, and everything they did after it was taken. They had the weight of the world thrust upon them, and they shouldered it like men.

He’s a corporal, so he’s been in the Army a few years. He’s probably 22 years old, unless he was an Eagle Scout before joining, then he might be 19, since Eagle Scouts get an automatic PFC rank after basic. So he’s somewhere between 19-22, he just has a baby face. The average age of US soldiers in WWII was 26 years old, but skewed younger as the war dragged on. These men would have been between 17 years old (with parental consent) and their late 20’s.

Thanks

2 sounds rad, but really expensive, hard to pull off, and might scare some potential dates away if you’re still dating.

It’s hard to go wrong with 3.

What’s a Temu?

Fuckin A right, buddy!

Riding a motorcycle has always been pretty intuitive to me, but I grew up glued to my bicycle, so it all clicked pretty fast once I learned how to manage the extra weight.

I can’t imagine not shifting a motorcycle. It’s like being part of the bike. But I’ve ridden for 30+ years.

Btw I now understand the hate towards manual cars. Automatic should be the only option

This is a big problem with people these days. You admitted you suck at driving, you’re just barely learning how to do it, but you think you’re qualified to mandate what is available to everyone else? You do not have enough experience to have an opinion that affects other people. Stick shift is completely intuitive when you know how to do it.

Yes, it’s one of the most useful keys. I haven’t used file explorers for applications in forever. Hit the Windows key, type a couple letters of the program you want, hit enter.

You can’t get groceries delivered in California?

But then you forget to put that back in the trunk too.

Yeah it’s really dumb. They got rid of the thin bags, and replaced them with bags that use 20x more plastic. I guess people are supposed to reuse those, but very few people do. Their big brain idea was to use 20x more plastic to stop all the plastic waste.

Eh, it’s not so great trying to dispose of all the boxes, plus all the excess packaging from Costco trips. My recycling bin is completely full after a Costco trip, and it takes forever to break everything down and dispose of it.

In my experience, it’s resulting in bags that use much more plastic being disposed of, instead of the thin plastic bags they used to use.

I’m old enough to remember when plastic bags became available in grocery stores. People didn’t trust them, so they had displays at the entrances showing the bags holding heavy things, like several two liter soda bottles. They pushed so hard for plastic, saying that it would save the environment, and now they’re pushing even harder saying it’ll destroy the environment.
