I just got up and this is probably the funniest thing I'll see all day.
There's a version that has a bit more.
I wonder if this is still going…
I don't think it is. I looked it up and couldn't find anything further in the thread from them. Their account has been deactivated, so (I think) the original is gone and we just have reblogs. Wayback Machine doesn't have it either.

Shout out to all the Nat Guard and Marines currently 'defending our freedom' in LA!
... and of course their famously faithful wives they married 3 months before their first deployment!
Someone's gotta drive the Dodge Hellcat before it gets repo'd...
Its always a fucking Hellcat lol.
I mean, not literally always... but ... there are so many car dealerships right outside of so many bases... gotta spend that signing bonus on something, apparently, and that something is almost always a Hellcat.
It makes perfect sense. They prey on poor people to fill out that "voluntary" recruitment. When you've been poor all your life and suddenly you get that signing bonus no matter how responsible you are there's no way you're not going to buy something at least a little fun for yourself. You've likely had a shitty car all your life if you had one at all. You put all that together and it's really easy to see why so many of them do it.
Yep, you got it.
I always find it funny when people think these stereotypical behaviors of young military dudes are... just rude stereotypes.
Some of them, sure, but a lot of them, nope, generally actually true, sorry buddies, capitalism figured out another way to exploit your poverty and lack of education, with mathematical precision, and you fell for it, again.

More interestingly, it's also pretty common for girls who wanna leave their man to push him into service so she doesn't have to deal with him after. In boot we had a wall of dear John's 2 weeks in
Yup yup yup.
On one level, I genuinely empathize with guys going through that... probably totally emotionally and mentally devastating for the vast majority of them.
On the other hand... its so common, and usually so many people in their lives will tell them that.... that is probably gonna happen to them, and they don't listen.
Shit sucks man, I've never been in any military service, but I've known guys its happened to.
Oh and then you've got this: Hrm, could this phenomenon maybe play a role in female service members getting SA'd and raped?
You know, just maybe?

I hope this guy or someone like him visits all those National Guard's wives. This deployment will involve orders that should not be followed. We need the constitution amended so the national guard cannot be deployed into a state without that states governors permission.
Well, that is a double edge sword right there. Maybe we end up with a sane federal government ~~again~~ for once, and let's say some freeloading red state decides to go full 1921 Tulsa on whatever the scapegoat of the week is and the national guard really does need to go in, but their nazi governor just says no and that's that? There simply needs to be some workaround.
Yeah, the courts or congress ordering it. That's how the schools got integrated
Damn. I forgot about the governor fighting integration. The complexity just moved beyond my narrow understanding of politics.

with 3 confirmed kills
Yeah, 2 of them where kids and one was a pregnant woman he thought was carrying a bomb.
Your 18 year olds are just children. Theirs are fighting age males.
Bonus points I guess
I feel strongly one of the more probable solutions to the fermi paradox is simply that we have a sizeable number of people in our species who still take pride and joy in the idea of taking lives, under any context.
No, we're not allowed out there. No, we can't have good things.
Raise your kids better you asshats.
IDK, earth nature is pretty gruesome (and it's not just mammals or even just vertebraes). Doesn't seem super probable that such a big precentage of space-faring alien species are so peaceful that they'd think that this is too far.
The point is, if there are advanced species out there that can actively observe us, that means they are likely millions of years ahead of us, and our animalistic ways are barely a step above monkeys throwing rocks at each other and our disregard for life proves it. It would be like humans inviting a particularly successful colony of ants into the United Nations.
It's a funny thought experiment, but I don't think there's anything in space watching us either way.

“If a war comes to your country” the president will order you to form up against your fellow countrymen.
idk if its the app im using (interstellar) but that's beyond blurry for me.
With sync for lemmy, I got to go into the post first and click the image there to get the resolution. As if clicking the image directly just opens a preview.
Huh, neat thanks. I've had this happen a few times and apparently never tried that. Much easier to read now lol!
Quality is good on Voyager
It's perfectly fine for me (mbin) so I guess it must be the app.
Its like that for me on Thunder as well... I think there may be some kind of setting irt to ... how it caches/renders thumbnails from posts, but yeah, all these giant, extremely vertical image caps, usually from tumblr, just are not handled well on mobile apps.
The images are stupid huge in size, so most apps attempt to scale the preview resolution... and then that looks like ass because they are very very vertical, instead of something closer to 16:9.
It'll go to the real image when you click on it, but then zooming and scrolling through it is also a bit fucky wucky, because the dimensions are so out of wack.
Apps don't usually render Lemmy content universally well. In such cases you might use the browser page as a fall-back?
e.g. PieFed renders this to perfection for me on Android Firefox at https://piefed.social/post/889181 . The original Lemmy version at https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ce7d4419-038a-4d75-824e-d48aae69c122.png is janky but quite serviceable.

Am I supposed to think the guy is funny, clever, or not a complete douchebag?
That bumper sticker is kind of funny though.
On one hand, the US military is terrible and anything that causes people to not go to it is good.
On the other hand, most people who join the military join out of desperation due to poverty and wanting better opportunities, so I kinda empathize with them without approving of their actions. Not to mention, the military tries its best to recruit fresh 18 year olds. Why are we judging TEENAGERS for their bad choices? The brain doesn't develop fully until 25. They're essentially victims of grooming that turn into killers. It's no different to me than joining a gang, and I don't think this guy would have the balls to trash talk an actual gang member like this.
Basically, I would say to this guy "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."
You're not meant to think well of the troll. It's not really a person as much as a role. You're supposed to laugh at the idiots replying to it.

I don't know about you, but it freaking hilarious.
He's definitely something of a douche, but so are the people he's winding up.
I find it kinda funny but maybe that's because I'm stupid.
