@RealChapAmerica@SecWar@DeptofWar@USNavy@NavyChaplains Back when I was in the USN, I was gunshy about going to the chaps for anything *because* they always presented as an officer first, spiritual leader second.
I can't feel like someone like that will take what I have to say in confidence without narcing me out.
@TheEbonyMaw Gotta love intra-office email encryption that is incompatible with half the email servers a company uses.
FFS we work for the same org, there ain't shit you're telling me that needs to be kept *that* secret.
@HiddenHistoryYT Another turret barrel is on display in Verny Park in Yokosuka as well. About an hour south of Tokyo by train. Also home of the famed battleship Mikasa!
@HiddenHistoryYT One of her anchors, a turret, a screw, a rudder, and some other parts are on display outside the Yamato Museum in Kure; about 45 minutes south of Hiroshima. Well worth the visit.
@pnwguerrilla As much as I hate doing this, in defense of his lawyer (ew); he's a court-appointed public defender. Karmel Kandy-Ass' family blew all the crowdfunding dough on anything they could so they were unable to afford even a cheap lawyer.
@johnkonrad First time I ever heard the n-word was from my WWII vet grandpa talking about ghetto culture back in the early 90s.
It was the "polite" n-word, too.
@japan_nobunaga I had a coworker buy an 8 ounce steak of wagyu and prepare it in the traditional American fashion. He said it "tasted funny" and it put him on the toilet for two days 🤣
We asked if it was wagyu and then laughed at him for cooking and eating it wrong.
@gamu0514 Even ignoring media bias, Japan is still a high trust society; so election fraud would be something relatively inconceivable. It was the same here in the US, up until 2000, when we had the "hanging chad" scandal during that election. A lot of people started to lose faith.
@AlexHollings52 There are some things in this world I am not allowed to touch; but just give me five minutes with a screwdriver and I'd have one hell of a conversation piece...
@tuuu28283 Recently it's Godzilla Minus One. Some buddies and I watched it a year or two ago and not a single one of us spoke or even glanced at our phones until that epic was over.
