Added 2022-07-08 18:56:32 +0000 UTCHow the weirdest machine gun of WWI was slapped together out of bike parts and earned the reputation for being one of the worst guns ever made.

The weight conversation reminded me of a Sgt who insisted to carry a 240 for a battalion long walk down a road in NC. He changed his mind. Later he got a bad conduct discharge right after reenlisting, getting a huge moto back piece, and sleep with a junior Marines wife. So fuck that guy. Oki does strange things to people.

2022-07-11 16:22:15 +0000 UTCHad to have surgery to remove a kidney stone doctor said it was the second biggest he had to remove had a long piece of plastic with gauze at the end jammed up my penis and had to piss with that thing in for a few days before I could take it out. Worst experience of my life cause you could feel every inch of that thing.

2022-07-10 23:02:49 +0000 UTCI used to have to carry the M3 "Grease Gun" as a tank crewman. We all called it the "Tonka Toy: You didnt use the sights because you could literally see the 45 caliber bullet fly to its target. At the range we would just shoot at the wooden post holding up the target knocking it down. That is how we "qualified" with that weapon. LMAO.

2022-07-09 18:01:24 +0000 UTCRe: Magic: the Gathering why does it not surprise me that Liam is control/combo and Joe is aggro? As a mostly commander/EDH player, I like playing rube goldberg devices that require at least three specific things to be on the board to work (i.e. complete jank that never works) and then either ping or mill my opponents to death. Either that, or nonsense involving graveyards (my boyfriend plays so much reanimator that he calls his graveyard his "second hand"). Rise of the Dark Realms, all creatures in all graveyards are now mine! (Someone plays counterspell) goddamnit.

2022-07-09 02:14:14 +0000 UTCI have a condition (Medullary Sponge Kidney) that causes me to constantly form tiny stones inside the walls of my kidneys. The pain in my case can be anything from non-existent to wanting to die, depending on size and location and probably like 20 other factors. Sounds like soldier dude had one towards to top end - the larger ones that are physically hard to pass. I've never experienced that, and fuuuuuuuuck having to. Hope he went quickly.
