    Want to read something even more funny? More adventures of online dating on the island:

    Her:Thank you, you're quite courteous. Your affiliation with the airforce is problematic for me, so I'll have to decline your invitation to converse. I know this is a strange response, but I thought it better than no response. I do wish you all the best. Sent Yesterday

    Me:Thank you for your odd response. I do understand my job is a deal breaker for some. I am curious though. If you don't want to elaborate that's OK. Enjoy your weekend. Yesterday

    Her:Curious as to why it's a deal breaker? Sent Yesterday

    Me:Yes. Sorry to be vague. It's usually in interesting reason. Yesterday

    Her:Well, only because you asked. But I believe that the environments we place ourselves in dictate the structure of our thoughts. The airforce is an environment that is highly patriarchal based on hierarchy and dominance. I can't imagine that the structures of my thoughts and mind would would gel well with that.


    Too many damn Hippies and SJWs on the island.

    Social justice is anything but, it's mainly hate and entitlement speech

    I would have replied with a snarky comment about how more woman should join the military because they have a lot of catching up wise with dying for this country that lets you vomit that crap that comes out of your mouth...


    But I'm a bit of a asshole

    Well theres also that (I assume in many militaries probably not all) that if all things are equal (rank, rating etc) pay is equal.

    I have never watched any of his shows, appears there was quite the drama going on in the background of his shows.

    I think that if he's being taken as "the know it all" authority in home improvement without actually being anywhere near the top and not necessarily ever claiming to be, that would be a close equivalent.

    A person who never made the claim of being an authority in one's field but is perceived to being not just an authority on one's own field but beyond it because one has plenty of time to spend showing up in various TV shows and being popular.

    Also at some point stating that one is merely a run-of-the-mill guy in the field would be harmful for personal income as the status as popular icon "our modern Einstein" / "Einstein II" can be very lucrative.

    In the cultural landscape there's always a demand for the archetype of

    Reminds me of the Stephen Fry's iconic

    I know I must have pasted this before but it never ages. And it is the perfect antidote to the cancer that is known as SJW's.

    "I'm offended bla bla bla boohoo"

    Well, don't be. Or be. Who gives a shit.

    I can't walk into a bar with my M2 that has a half dead cat as a silencer without someone getting offended by my Nazi - Soviet friendship flag from 1939 while wearing a t-shirt where a Japanese soldier holds a baby in the air impaled by a bayonet attached to his rifle while his friends cheer.

    There's always someone who's offended by anything for fuck sakes.
