To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

We needed some fresh leaf spinach for another dish and decided to cook the rest of it and make creamed spinach as a side dish. Friends, it cooked down so much that we each got about a tablespoon size serving.

I don't mean to keep hammering away at this drum, but I am currently in the hospital on Thanksgiving because I spent years putting more than my body could do into a job that was actively trying to kill me for not doing even more

Not going to link to the article because fuck it but anyone saying “the work/life balance might not be feasible” is trying to use you and pay you very little and wants you on the survival mode teat. Ignore them for the parasites they are.

Your friendly reminder that Salvation Army is extremely homophobic. Also they brought a truck into Chicago to feed ICE agents to give them the energy to shoot more priests in the faces with paintballs. Many more worthy charities out there.

Who doesn’t like a heaping helping of thermostabilized wet meat product on Thanksgiving? Behold of a turkey with gravy prototype for NASA’s Apollo program, cooked up by the kitchen labs at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center in 1969.
