Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Funny how they’ll say this to federal workers, but they won’t say shit to the military who are living the socialist dream.

Yeah, and if you ever ask a vet what they did, unless they'd been to literal war, they're going to tell you that they were basically just put in charge of stocking a broom closet and were bored 95% of the time.

Edit: just want to add that I do respect the military, and if anyone wants to tell me why I'm wrong, I'd love to hear lol

One of my call center buddies was in charge of receiving requests for freight transport and asking his NCO to approve them. His NCO say directly behind him. So he'd stare at a computer screen until a request came in, turn around, ask for approval which would be framed, then turn back around and click the approve button.
