The father I grew up with was a WWII vet. You know how many stories he regaled his family and friends with? Zero. My grandfather, the WWI vet? Zero.

The ones who tell and re-tell the stories aren’t the ones who were actually there.

Why the fuck were they shooting at an unarmed suspect in a crowded store…

I had on grandfather who spent less time on the front - he got into the navy with his dead older brothers birth certificate and ended up back home after a while. He later joined the army during the occupation. He saw some combat, but not a ton, I think, but he liked to talk about the war more, etc. My other grandfather was in heavy combat in Europe during the invasion. He was in the battle of the bulge and I believe even might have been part of a liberation of a camp… he talked about his time in the war far less.

Nope. At least that one was so far up. Far enough.

People facing a personal crisis are most likely to be open to outreach efforts, churches say—and Gloo crunches data to try to identify them. The company has said in marketing materials that it can predict the characteristics of people who might have a marriage in trouble, be suffering from depression or anxiety, or have a propensity for a drug addiction, based on data analysis.

That’s just gross.

Ugh I have distinct memories of being in a horrible situation and descended upon by opportunistic religious hyenas. Yes something is harming me. No your shitty cult won’t help.

Yes, it’s just as gross when for-profit corporations do it, though.
