@paulg I define qualified as producing value. It seems the organization you created defines it as…some thing else. Or is there a better reason your spokespeople have gone private?
@paulg@rensverschuren The results of your choices just blocked the chairman of the FTC and hid their account because they think hiring Indian is more important than hiring the best.
Mr. President we have a fertility crisis in this country and you’re letting a small city’s worth of sailors loose on Thailand….sir that’s American sperm and should be put to use on American soil.
Navy friend: "The best and worst idea in the history of the US Navy. Imagine being 20 years old, having 9 months salary cash and pulling into Thailand...I might fly out there and join them."
It’s really simple - if you can’t be held accountable for your actions you don’t have the capacity to exercise full rights as a citizen. We do this to the insane, the mentally disabled, and to certain classes of criminals. Now it seems we need to include women.

The biggest red pill is just recognizing that women aren’t capable of being objective. Their assessments are entirely social, and they cannot escape this. Everything is relative, everything is about status and place, and the only defense they have is ruthless attack
@PunishedGlowy I think the simple answer is the easiest - the writers and screen writers have never been around someone who was deployed. They went to CalTech schools and have lived in very well meaning bubbles that never come in contact with people who need dark humor to withstand war
