"Veterans for Trump", is like "Firemen for Arsonists",

There's a post going around saying that the Veilgaurd team is so nice to eachother because it's a story about professionals. I need the author locked in a room with Vivienne, Cassandra, Leliana, and Josephine so they can look them in the eye and say they're not professionals to their faces. For science.

Why do you think a lot will change after their MS?

First of all, because they’ll no longer have the dark cloud of military service hanging over their heads, which I imagine will be a relief for them, especially since it’s something many people, directly or indirectly, used to threaten them with—even the government, in a way. The second reason is that they’ll be in their 30s, or almost there in Jungkook’s case, and it’s almost inevitable that they’ll have a different mindset about everything, especially their lives and careers. Their time in the military may have helped them form new bonds, adopt new perspectives, and in the case of Jimin and Jungkook, strengthen their relationship even more than they have with other members, which could, in turn, create different dynamics between them.

They might be at a stage where they want different things or want to do things differently, so I think even their relationship with the agency will change. Although it’s clear that the agency and company don’t control them, and they’ve always had a say in the direction of their careers, I imagine that when they return, they’ll want more control. More say in everything.

Aside from all of that, or as a consequence of everything I’ve mentioned, I think their relationship with the fandom will also change, and that’s something I personally hope happens. We saw some of that last year with Namjoon and Jungkook in particular, so I expect to see more of it when they return.

Something something """canon""" age difference, modern AU where Rex actually is a decade younger than Anakin

And for Reasons, 34yo Anakin and 39yo Padme have decided to invite this Hot Young 24yo Who Just Exited The Military into their bed for a quick romp that turns into something of a longterm relationship that is sortakinda sugaring

………….just realized this makes Rex only [checks math] twelve or thirteen years older than the twins.

Which is very funny to me. These tweens are so unimpressed by the GI Bill college guy their parents are wooing. Is this supposed to be their new babysitter? A nanny? Wait, he's your boyfriend??? EW.

Such a weird age difference to have with your sorta stepkids

do you remember when sherlock was like “if you’d be murdered, in your very last second, what would you say?” and john’s like “please, god, let me live.” and sherlock goes “oh, use your imagination” and then john says “i don’t have to.”

you remember that?

yeah so do i and it breaks my heart more than it should

We Stand for Nothing

I’m sick of the excuses. Save them. All of them. Keep that shit to yourself.

“But BTS official account are still on X wahhhh”

I don’t fucking care.

“But I have an established following on X wahhhhh”

I don’t fucking care.

“But I’m comfortable there. I’ve curated my timeline”

I don’t fucking care.

“I tried it but no one was posting so I went back to X”

I don’t fucking care.

“But we need to see what happens after they came back from MS”

I don’t fucking care.

“Wow! Some iconic BTS fan accounts are back on X!”

I don’t fucking care.

Do you see the theme yet? Have we caught on?

We used to be a fandom that created movements. We used to be a fandom that Got. Shit. Done. And if yall seriously think BTS are going to come out of the military and start posting on the group’s X account… That our intelligent, anti-capitalist men are going to flock to that god forsaken app owned by a literal supervillain then I have a fucking bridge to sell you.

I’m sick of these excuses because yes, I’ve heard them all hence me using quotes. I’ve been arguing with our fandom on BTS Reddit pages for half the day.

Twitter is dead, so call it for what it is and get off X. Try Bluesky. I’m really fucking busy but I’m going to try to post there more to prove my point. I’m @koomin4ever on there.

DEACTIVATE but don’t delete your account on X.

Be the change. Stand for something. Get over yourselves and your “comfort” and spread the word. I still wish I would have left sooner, and trust me, when you leave, you will too.

I love trying to do historical research, you want an answer to a simple question like "could Jews serve in the British army in the 1880s" and you get back

Jews in the American Revolution

Jews in the American Civil War

Jews in World War I

Jews who fought for Nazi Germany

Thanks, that absolutely covers the time period and country I specifically asked for, couldn't have done it without you

The members of the BTS originally planned to greet in front of the unit. However, due to concerns over congestion, they will reportedly quietly celebrate Jin's discharge somewhere in Seoul.

After being discharged from the military, Jin will start individual activities. First, he will attend 2024 Festa. He will also hold a hug event with 1,000 ARMY. He is planning to release a solo album in the second half of the year.

So… Oklahoma just introduced this "classrooms to careers" platform thing… And it's basically forced military service for poor and disabled people?

The governor… I think his name is Shitt? From what I can read of it is saying he's going to make graduating from high school mandatory. But also if you want to graduate from high school, you have to either be enrolled in college/university or a trade school or the military.

So guess what happens if you can't afford college/university (or don't have the grades for it) and you also can't afford to trade school or are physically unable to do it?

Forced military service. And again you can't even drop out to avoid it. He wants to make it mandatory to have a high school diploma.

Absolutely insane.
