Its not a death sentence though. Surgeons are quite adept these days.

Bad news girlfriend, it is useful. The more you have to work with, the better.
I too am pissed.

A chaplain position has no religious requirement, and every chaplain must be accepting and work with every religion without discrimination.
Now, obviously not every person will view them as a viable spiritual leader for their specific faith, but there is only so much that is possible.

And you don’t understand mocking. Or that I’m not a bro, which is fair since most internet users trend male.

A phrase my guardian used growing up and has unfortunately stuck with me as my initial response, my apologies.
The full phrase I think is “Thats like a pot calling a kettle black” or something like that. And my regrettable and curt response was “we are alike, and reading your comment has upset me in that I interpretated it with the implication that we are not.”

Chaplains were at one time the Christian Soldier, giving last rights and leading prayer basically.
The role is no longer a religious role, but the title has remained. They now function entirely in a multi-cultural/Multi-Faith/Non-Religious role. Essentially they are there to be emotional/spiritual support to anyone who needs it. If I’m not mistaken, they all are trained in some variety of counseling/therapy.
There has been major progress in allowing that role to become what it is.
Ideally, there would be no war and no need for soldiers.
But we live on earth, and while we can,and must, continue to work towards that ideal, the fact remains that, in this moment, there are many people who are enlisted.
Many of these people enlisted because they came from families/areas that have generations of trauma and oppression, and the military was their ticket out. These broken people are often lucky to have ever received any kind of 3rd party mental health care. Add to it the trauma of combat on behalf of a government they don’t necessarily even want, and you have a shitstorm of emotions to wade through.
Complain about the MIC, the political greed, and the assholes who join and abuse their fellow man. But for fucks sake, have the mental fortitude to hold a bit of complexity when judging a situation.

Pot? Kettle, Black.
- Comment on recruiting theocracy 1 week ago:
You are clearly unaware that chaplain are not preachers, but please continue your simplicism.
- Comment on recruiting theocracy 1 week ago:
Nevermind that this role is basically a deployable mental health professional and the only MHP that many of these unfortunate souls have access to.
I swear, this all or nothingness is just rotting to see. Maybe we do need to nuke ourselves.

And they nailed it especially with Sir Patrick Stuart’s short monologues.

Yeah, and come to think of it, I bet you that each one has its own characteristics. Perhaps they may be full blown individuals themeselves from another time and place, and I too will one day join them…
Brb gonna go sailing…

In theory I wouldn’t care if it was normal and a necessity, but, prefer my bed to be to myself and my partner, as well as my room. Not cause of what the children might think, but because I like not having anyone else there. So good riddance to that.
- Comment on Curious 3 weeks ago:
Well, I for one am glad we have left that particular detail in the past more or less.

The only item I’ve ever owned from carhart is over 12 years old and still looks new. Its a real shame too, since i can’t figure out how to work it into a femme outfit of any sort.
- Comment on Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.) 3 weeks ago:
Exactly the moment when a person(s) of strong character evident primarily through the way they conduct themselves. No amount of documentation of previous good character can hold up against someone who doesn’t care about it on the first place.
They need be only 2 things: Humble, and undeniably good character. When someone meets them, the only people who won’t think they’re worth following will be people who don’t have good intents, and even they will internally admit and know who they’ve met.
I think the imaginary power couple of Keanu Reeves and Julie D’Aubigny

I grew up with a mix of some who shared that view. Its remarkable the box they place their God in to fit their worldview innit? Lol
- Comment on fossils 1 month ago:
Mammals only got yeeted to their own evolutionary tree branch 40 million years prior to those that would be considered reptilian (sorta dinos too) which was somewhere in the realm of 250 million years ago.
Meaninng the reptiles of today are ~5x further apart in time from dinosaurs, than dinosaurs are from their common ancestors to mammals.
I think we really should just not bother thinking in terms of current speciation concepts. They could have had jellyfish like tentacles dangling allover their skin and we’d never know.

If you asked me, the moment you shut off your mind to the idea that all of us basically know hardly anything at all, is the moment you start to degrade mentally, physically, and even spiritually. Closed mindedness isn’t evil itself… but I’ve yet to hear of or meet anyone who’s both open minded and a horrid person.
You’re for sure wrong about most things, and probably wrong on several things you’re sure of too.
- Comment on FCC scraps old speed benchmark, says broadband should be at least 100Mbps 1 month ago:
Most of every single fight was at the municipality or city level and not any larger than that. So while those companies may have had holds over that community in particular, those companies are not national companies like Google is. Sure if Google was able to change all those laws that could be a win but we all know they wouldn’t stop there, and it would be less than a year before a very similar law would probably go up across the board. And you know it would pass cuz all they would have to say is “hey government want to take a looksies? Just make sure to pass this bill we wrote for ya”

Honestly, im not terribly upset they are getting blocked. The last thing we need is google truly breaking into the utility market nationally

If there’s not already lines to an area, you’d have to really try pretty hard to even find enough older/slower cabeling to justify the install costs alone. The only reason we don’t already have fiber everywhere is because they don’t wanna pay to dig… Despite being heavily subsided with the understanding that they should already be doing that.

Education and media exposure. All it takes is the right information for things to go south for corporate types.
