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 think this would have worked better if it showed the emoji (still sideways, mind you) in an image bubble to suggest it was a photo. That would add the necessary layer of ambiguity to make this a funny question of whether she rejected because that’s what he looks like or because of his manual emoji use
This common misunderstanding of the purpose of life is addressed by Alan Watts in this short animation illustrated by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame.
It’s a mouth for my emoticon. After years of using reddit, I wouldn’t dare to use emojis. People get angry if you use emojis there. I assumed it was the same here. :ا
That emoji police subreddit was one of the most pointless things I ever came across when I used the site. Communities that LARP brigade the entire site, even as a bit, just made Reddit worse to use imo
The most harrowing fact that I know is that during the Apollo 11 mission, as they began to enter the moon’s orbit and headed behind it, they were no longer able to communicate with earth. This is indicated on the flight plan* by the note “Broken trajectory lines indicate loss of earth communications.” So here’s the crew, impossibly far from everything any human has ever known, for about an hour unable to hear (or most of that time even see) any sign of the only experience humanity has ever known. It’s just them sandwiched between an unfamiliar moon and the blackness of space.
All of the Apollo missions, actually, including 13. In fact, Apollo 13 marks the farthest distance human beings have ever been from Earth because of the modified trajectory they had to use in order to get back to Earth faster with their damaged spacecraft.
But Apollo 13 also is the only moon mission where there was never a single individual alone in the ship when it went dark behind the moon. (On all other missions, the Command Module Pilot remained in the ship while the other two landed on the surface, so for the duration of that time, they were doing solo orbits that took them through the silent shadow of the moon.
