Just because you're a veteran, doesn't mean you're entitled to a job you're not qualified for...

Many, many people don't hire veterans because they are worried about PTSD, and a clash in culture. The unemployment rate among vets is high

And yet, he didn't address the point the guy made.
InsertUsernameJokeHere
Because the point the guy made was invalid.
playstation360
Not really. I mean, he's a dick but he's not wrong. The "special" Olympics just have a different goal, which is the real answer.
EnvelopeOfDoom9000
1) he insulted the contestants. Yeah, they don't have the most neutral horsepower (and you and me ain't Stephen Hawking either), but why
EnvelopeOfDoom9000
would he randomly be a cunt about it for no reason? People who went on Paralympic photos and comment "lol ur crippled" would get the same

it means crushing defeat each time. This feels like booby prize. 2/2

You do know that you, me, and other disabled people are also considered "valid" by many, many people, right?

I really like Arnold's "no one will ever remember you" comment. That is just cutting. And appropriate.

It's a nice burn but considering the person it's like shooting a missile at a rock. Yeah you blew it up, but it makes zero difference one...
AfroSamuraiRM
Scars come in many forms. Even the most meaningful things can be influenced by the most meaningless things.
Arnoxthe1
way or another because all you did was blow up a rock of no consequence and the rock doesn't give two shits because it's a rock.

It WAS Arnold Fucking Shcwarzeneggar though. Thats gotta hurt extra hard.
MostIndeedlySo
I wonder whether it was really Arnie, though. Or perhaps one of his social media people whatchayacallthem... Assistants.

Either way its coming from "him" and thats a bigger deal than getting "burned" by some random SJW.

Fair point. Anyone CAN about politics. It doesn't mean they actually know anything. They just are free to speak.
Dionysus187
Okay? Its a direct response to people stupidly saying 'stay out of politics' to famous people saying shit they don't like.
BlastFX
“Stay out of politics” is not proscription, it's an advice. A well deserved one in Rowling's case.
SoMuchPooPooSon
She's an excellent author; how does that relate to politics?I might be an excellent swimmer but that doesn't mean I can write books.Where...
SoMuchPooPooSon
...did this notion come from that achieving excellence in one field gives you status in another?
KeeleonOhms
Public figures actually do have different standards of what they can say. They have a much bigger audience and owe it to that audience to be
KeeleonOhms
Accurate with their opinions. JK Rowlings words have more power than "john doe" so she needs to be more careful with them.
MikeyA15
They don't owe anybody anything TBH. She has the right to her opinions, you have to right to disagree or don't.
KeeleonOhms
You are correct but more influentual people do need to be more careful because sheep will blindly follow them.

shartsicle
MySpace had been stagnating for awhile. Tom wasn't the right person to lead the transformation it needed, so he did the right thing & sold.
bruisologist
He responded with a rude comment with a rude comment but this offends you how?
WoeToHice
One of these guys had a valid point. The other one basically did this:
TheGrubinator
And Tom wasn't even why MySpace fell apart. It didn't start its decline until *after* Murdoch bought it.
shartsicle
It started the decline before, and Tom & Co realized they weren't the right people to transform it, so they did the right thing & sold.

There's witty comebacks and then there's punching down.

AnythingMuchShorter
Really though, it's funny how people often equate selling with failure.
WoeToHice
Last I checked, MySpace failed. Selling it didn't make it any less of a failure in the end. And it's a pretty good reason to question (1/2)
WoeToHice
whether we should trust someone who's giving us dubious advice. (2/2)
Alvatore
Except didn't it fail -after- it was sold? So it was the new owners who couldn't keep it from failing.
TheGrubinator
Especially when the sell was for over half a billion dollars; which could become billions with smart investing. Tom's winning all the (1)

Think about what you would be near in a bathroom.
LittleLemonShark
Think about having sex in a canoe: "it's fucking close to water"
GodEmperor0fMankind
The joke, because you assholes don't understand puns, is that it's fucking close to water. Fuck you both for ruining the joke.

It's a light beer that non-beer snobs drink at social events. It's never been considered to be a beer with "outstanding taste."

But Coors regular, yes. Just depends on what sounds good at the time. I don't think it makes me any less of a man or less refined. (2/2)

GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
Question: are those seats 'that' reserved? Thought you can sit on them as long as no one's standing
HighlandPotatoe
Generally you use them, and when someone who needs them gets on, you give them the seat. Standard UK courtesy.
EverardDigby
Not that reserved. They're the nearest to the doors so handy for elderly/disabled. People get up or scoot up if someone needs/asks.
RNeao
You get up if someone noticeably old or with a cane comes by. But anyone anywhere can give their seat, so... Otherwise, welcome to the T.

monkeymuffins
Odd Britishisms aside, you should take off backpacks on crowded public transport. It allows more people to stand.
adl7
She should talk, say why she needs to sit down, not act like an anus. The reason why she doesn't speak is obvious.

I read two instalments, she is a born complainer and is jealous of her friends who had better financial life plans than hers. Life owes her

Another issue is, regardless of age. There IS an empty seat behind her, looks like she got on and took a selfie just because those girls 1/2

Agreed. I usually make a move to indicate that I'm ready to give up a seat, but rarely do so unless asked, or unless they're trembling

like, if I can see a person having difficulty standing, they better not be offended if I offer them my seat.

You could say the same about the young girls occupying the seats already. Im 21 but I've had seizures on the bus so I take the disabled seat
budlmaru
Thinks that was exactly what they were saying.
Gluseph
I didn't mean to imply they necessarily were. I was speaking generally, but I can see now how it could look that way.
ChickenSun
There's no such thing as disabled seats on the tube. They are for those less able to stand.
Flyndaran
Our metro system announcements say, "...seniors and people with disabilities".
ChickenSun
I think it just means to include anyone who may need to sit. Injured, pregnant, unwell or whatever.
Flyndaran
That's implied but not technically what's said. It really should just be "move for those that need it more".
Gatihaa
Or just because you can't see their disability doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I get treated like shit because only I can see my blindness.
TheWackyViking
Well, you can't really _see_ it though, can you?
Gatihaa
I've already said too much. The blind community will kill me if I tell any more secrets.
TheWackyViking
I am onto you!

I remember when I turned 50 I thought I was old, but I outgrew that feeling pretty quickly.

Dude, it's HALF WAY given the way our life expectancy is going.
Velexis

thegreatninjaman
