That movie is a work of art. Who doesn’t love the extremely horny scene where Mario is trying to get the necklace back in a movie ostensibly made for kids?
A google search or a 5 min convo with a Mil recruiter would highlight all three.
Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery
Explosive Ordinance School
Officer Candidate School
If you don’t know any of them maybe you should do some basic internet searches. It would make you look like less of an idiot for not recognizing ASVAB. It’s literally a basic aptitude test.
If you’re posting something, it’s your job to do so in a way that people can understand your posts. Posting a bunch of industry-specific acronyms and then being condescending when someone asks you to clarify because they didn’t go and do homework on your stupid post doesn’t make them look dumb, it makes you look like a smug prick.
Like there isn’t going to be eight million different explanations in Google for acronyms with letters as common as EOS or OCS. Have you never used Google?
I always hate this viewpoint that if someone doesn’t understand what someone else is saying on a website designed to facilitate conversation, they should Google it instead of asking.
Aside from that, it really makes you look like a heel for using jargon and chiding other people for not knowing it.
Personally I read eos as endeavouros. Also ASVAB is an aptitude test by the USMEPCOM (United States Military Entrance Processing Command) So not only is it irrelevant for the average bloke that doesn’t want to serve in the military but also for anyone not in the US. (At least if other countries do use this test I missed that) Also Office of Community Services was first mentioned in the 27th result on Google when I searched for OCS.
Moral of the story, just because you find it easily at your location and with your browsing habits doesn’t mean it’s that easy for everyone else. Please keep this in mind next time someone asks about the meaning of an acronym.
Where do you get filtered into if you’re too dumb to realize that half the shit in the Anarchist’s Cookbook is actually completely wrong, and act belligerent about it anyway?
I did a basic internet search for EOS and OCS, and I found lip balm and a cannabis dispensary.
If you’re using a TLA (three letter acronym) you should probably recognize that some acronyms are common and have multiple interpretations.
If you’re concerned about people looking like an idiot for asking questions, you should probably be aware that calling people an idiot for seeking information has the opposite result.
I don’t know, plenty of people achieve progressive change all the time. Lots of examples of politicians and lawmakers from all over the world for this.
This is me, the only exception is hand knitted or crocheted items. They’re literally the only things I’ll actually respect wash instructions on. If someone takes the time to make me something by hand, or if I spend the time to do it, I’ll treat it right. Otherwise, that shit is going is going into the washer with shirts, jeans, two towels, a flat sheet, a little bleach, some powder detergent, and some downy. I know you’re not supposed to downy towels, but ain’t nobody got time for separating laundry in this bish.
Ew, you have sportsball equipment? The gay agenda is going to need a word with you. You’re hurting our image. We abandoned respectability politics in the 2010s. You need to update your plan, or you could face serious fines and a loss of the ability of walk super quickly for no reason.
The trick is to have the things obstruct the door, so you’re forced to become consciously aware of them as you leave. Nothing short of that (or a spreadsheet for packing if you’re going overnight) works for me.
I bring a satchel with me when I leave the house. I leave it in the car 99% of the time, but it has my sunglasses, sanitizer, umbrella, etc. in it. So, it’s helpful to bring along. I toss my keys in it and whatever the important thing is. If the important this is too big, I wrap the strap of the satchel around the thing or wind the strap around some part of it. I still forget things sometimes, but this has helped me significantly.
There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.
Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.
I always put my keys on anything I need to remember, since they’re the last thing I grab before I head out, and I can’t lock the door or start the car without them. If it’s more of a concept, I write it on a post-it, then put the keys on that.
