  • The new arms include biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-related disturbances in enemy troops. The goal is to impair cognition and alertness.

    The US military is doing a real bang up job of this without anyone else’s help. On a carrier deployment everyone I knew was running on maybe 4 hours sleep per day and that’s usually averaged out over the week because of all the times you only get an hour here and there and maybe like 6 hours straight on Sundays.

    More projection that the next CO who’s tired watch standers crash their destroyer into a cargo ship can point to instead of the crumbling military complex around them.






  • So they fell off the side, or rather one fell and the other played lemmings. I kind of assumed they legit fell off a container ship, would make sense. If they were boarding a fucking small boat and “fell off” they 100% got killed in the attempt.

    I’m pretty sure I read a resistance update that said they killed two US special forces








  • I work logistics now, this reminds me of a while back, around late 2020 when a truck driver showed up to pick up a load. He had never been trained to back into a loading dock so he asked to be loaded by forklift, easy request to oblige. He was also never trained on how to roll back his curtainside trailer so we looked up a youtube video and got it done together. He apparently was also never trained on securing loads because I got a call from the destination with pictures where he must have had to hit the breaks hard and one pallet shifted and squished so many cans of paint. That poor dude must have been having a terrible fucking time at that outfit, and they definitely did him dirty. The first email I get after my manager files an insurance claim is from that trucking outfit saying they fired the guy and that mistake won’t happen again. So quick to cut him loose to save their contract.

    Dude needed some fucking training and some shadow shifts or something, not getting thrown to the wolves and hung out to dry.



  • For restaurant server jobs especially that’s a big reason they really only want to hire people that have tons of experience. That shit is really hard work, not intuitive at all, and especially for my introvert ass, very mentally exhausting, as well as physically draining. Most restaurants I worked at never had any sort of training plan, they just double up the new person with whoever has a slow section and wing it. It’s also not the type of job that incentivizes doubling people up on a shift, due to tips, which I think negatively affects any training program. Pairing someone up with a senior employee has been the fastest onboarding in my experience.

    Even at my current job I only get a month, maybe 6 weeks if I’m lucky, to have someone shadow me on the job and get direct training before they’re expected to be pulling shifts alone. And my phone is blowing up for months with questions when they first start solo, so I know that time should be extended.
