Bill Burr on conspiracy theories. Including flat earthers towards the end.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Is this just a way to purge the press corps of any reporter who covered the story of Lightfoot breaking her own quarantine rules for an appointment at a hair salon?

Pentagon to Monitor Military Social Media
Or even better...is merely following the wrong people on Twitter going to trigger the security apparatus? What happens when they start associating elected leaders with extremist ideology? For example, I think she's nutty...but what if you lived in Marjorie Taylor Green's district and followed her on Twitter and Facebook? Are you now labeled an extremist? I have a lot of concern about how this will be used, on both sides. Because it may start as "we're going to find people who posted clear threats online", but I think it will devolve into witch hunts for political purposes.

Just wait until you find out everyone who has posted in the "gun" thread is now considered a terrorist because they are "seeking to stockpile weapons".

I can't see any possible way that will go wrong.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
And I probably won't. I'm just going to turn off the notifications for this thread. I respect the people in this community, and I fear this topic will erode that.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Yeah..no. But I can see defending myself won't go well. Y'all do whatever you want, I guess, since we're no longer listening to CDC and SECDEF guidance.

Oh no, holding people accountable for violating SECDEF orders. The horror!

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
I mean...he recorded and published the evidence. I'd say he proved exactly what he was accused of. I suspect he couldn't define "Marxism" or provide an example without Googling it. But he felt the need to take a shot at the SECDEF.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Were I commander, I'd just take note of anyone who didn't wear a mask. When they make the covid shot mandatory, anyone not wearing a mask who pops red on IMR gets an article 15.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Amazing that the same people who have been telling us to "listen to the science" for the past year are now upset that the science means no more masks. "But what about X, Y, Z?" As if the CDC didn't have someone on staff that asked those same questions before issuing the new guidance.

Paranoid Theory on Financial Future
My fear as well... it'll be sold as a replacement, then we'll end up with a national sales tax AND an income tax.

The new airline thread
Eh, 2-3 years may be plenty of time to get the PIC hours for an airline. Then when they try to give you a worse assignment, you bounce for the airlines.

Palace Chase info
Nothing prevents you from requesting it...it's just not going to get approved. Typically you can get 6 months approved and not much more. Guess we'll see if the manning is healthy enough to start approving people farther out.

Which was a more local government than the federalized troops who ensured desegregation. After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students. Not exactly a case of the locals fixing a problem.

SERE is about 3 weeks. It's not tailored for navs.

Just lower the standards until you get enough pilots. https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2021/04/27/the_air_force_is_about_to_lower_its_already_low_standards_774596.html

CSO timeline for civ
Water survival is not SERE. Still done at Fairchild. The Navy has an altitude chamber at Pensacola, but it's been 15 years since I went through the training, so I don't know if the Air Force still uses the Navy one or if they send you somewhere else.

She was fired from Dyess. The problem was found on an Ellsworth jet. So I doubt that was it.
