P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish3·22 hours agoYeah totally, it’s his lack of qualifications. Because of his age also disqualifies him from experience.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish12·22 hours agoWell I guess at some point the most important point is that she was elected? Beyond that, I’m not sure what you’re getting at.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish2·23 hours agoHonestly, I wouldn’t bother at this point. We’re in the react portion, not the prediction phase.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish31·23 hours agoI guess I am failing to understand your question with what I said. Can you word it another way?

You’re in charge of a bunch of (hopefully temporary) morons. There’s risk assessment and mediation happening, controlling a bunch of people who are adverse to rules and being told no. Geopolitics isn’t that far from breaking up a fight in a bar. But he doesn’t have any of that comparable experience.

He was a treasure that we’re sorely lacking now. RIP.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish3·1 day agoThe problem here is that it’s irrelevant experience. It’s absolutely a respectable job, but that doesn’t make you capable of leading a task force. I have a respectable job, I’ve never been involved in the film industry at all, beyond watching. So should I be the CEO of universal? Do you think by working at a grocery store makes you capable of farming?
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror PreventionEnglish101·1 day agoAOC isn’t 22. So where did he get experience to run such a department at 22 with no relevant job? No leadership, no military, no geopolical, nothing. It’s like me leading an agency about anime. My knowledge of anime ends at the point that I know it exists. At 22 you can only get experience with terrorism by being military. Even if you’re a rigorous and studious person, there’s no way you can understand terrorism unless you’ve dealt with it personally.
For example, most of the suicide bomb attacks in Iraq weren’t psychotic religious extremists. Most of them were pressured by the actual terrorists. They would kidnap or threaten their families to make them do it. Others were poor, destitute individuals who were promised that upon completion of their “mission” that their family would be rewarded with a large payout. This isn’t uncommon even in the West. It gets underreported because in the West it usually manifests in a different way. My own grandpa repeatedly expressed concerns of not leaving his family enough before he took his own life and he tested rockets for NASA.so it’s not exclusive to the Middle East to hold your family above yourself.
That level of understanding of the motive simply doesn’t exist at 22, especially if you’ve never left the states. If you want to stop something, literally anything, you have to understand WHY it’s happening. I don’t wrench on my engine when the brakes are locked up, because I understand how the machine works. Terrorism is far more complicated than a vehicle, and it’s an absolute requirement to have experience in it to understand it. It isn’t the age, it’s the experience.

P00ptart@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘There is no intel’: Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, sources say134·1 day agoI mean, if Israel has nukes, and Iran has nukes, that should lead to peace, right? But peace isn’t what Israel is after. This isn’t about peace. It’s about eliminating all that think and look different.
P00ptart@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘There is no intel’: Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, sources say171·1 day agoWe’ve had vibe-based rape for ages. “She says no, but she clearly wants it”
I don’t know what that is. Is it a movie or video game?
Lmao! Noted.
Ok, so it is watchable under the right conditions?
“verges on so bad it’s good” so to me that says that it’s about as bad as it can possibly get, before crossing the line into something I can laugh at, would that be an accurate representation?
Art deco. And I need it to get going yesterday so the place feels even more like fallout after ww3
