Which Is Definitely Not An Omen

which is definitely not an omen

Gonna need yall to stop putting Biden is Just As Bad propaganda on my dash. Had to unfollow someone because I don’t want to a start a fight with them over it, but I’m about to bite the next person who puts that shit in front of me.

If you don’t like Biden, vote in your god damn local and mid term elections for third party or further left candidates so that we get better democratic candidates for future elections. But this one is already fucking decided, and I’m NOT ending up under a Trump led dictatorship because yall value protecting your personal sense of moral purity over the collective good. Whether it offends your personal morals to vote for Biden is IRRELEVANT in the face of the alternative.

This isn’t a lesser of two evils situation. One guy sucks. The other guy is LITERALLY PLANNING TO OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY AND INSTALL HIMSELF AS A PUTIN STYLE DICTATOR.

PLEASE look up Project 2025 and stop acting like abstaining is some kind of personal ethical decision!

What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else

I flatter myself that the creeping forward of my attacking lines into No Man’s Land prior to zero and the lifting of the barrage off the enemy front line, was my own idea derived from my experiences in the Russo-Japanese War and from my raids which were always successful. I was convinced that on 1st July my men would not get in unless they pressed close up to our barrage. At the last rehearsal in the back area of the proposed attack (1st July) of the two divisions (32nd and Ulster) the GOC 4th Army (Rawlinson) attended and at the end a pow-wow of all officers down to and including company commanders was held. As was the custom it took the form of the senior officer asking each brigadier in turn what he noticed worthy of remarks and criticism. It came to my turn and Rawlinson asked me had I anything to say and I replied “The leading lines did not advance close enough to the barrage” Oh, he said, “How close do you think they should be?” and I replied “Thirty to forty yards, Sir. And they must expect some casualties.” I could see he did not like what I said for he replied “Oh, 30 to 40 yards!!” “Well Sir, I said” That’s what the Japanese did” and his reply was “Oh, the Japanese” in rather a sneering way. I never missed an opportunity of rubbing the ideas of mine into the minds of my colonels. I always told the Colonels that by this action they must expect 10 per cent casualties from our own guns and it was worth it.

Lie down well within the blast radius of your own artillery barrage or you're too far away from the enemy trench and you'll get ripped apart by machine guns. What a choice.
