    I wasn’t going to join anyway, but the military recruiter who came to my school in the 90s ensured I wouldn’t enlist.

    He ended literally ended every phrase or clause with “'n stuff.” And I do mean literally. Every phrase or clause.

    It went like this:

    “If you wanna join the army 'n stuff, you gotta get fit 'n stuff because basic training ain’t easy 'n stuff but if you start getting fit now, you’ll do fine 'n stuff.”

    For 45 fucking minutes.

        It probably was compulsive, but after that amount of time having to listen to him, “fuck you and fuck the army” is, I think, a reasonable attitude.

        So yeah, probably not the best recruiter.

      Dude you post A LOT on Lemmy, and with personal information too. I haven’t even clicked on your profile, but just from memore I should guess that you’re a married Jewish male, in his mid to late 40s, with a queer daughter. (I think you also mentioned living in an east coast state… but this is just solely memory, not actually trying to stalk or doxx you).

      If you haven’t already done so, you might want to delete some of the posts that might have personal info.

        Can’t be too many of those, right?

        I did not, however I can think of one or two East Coast states that have more than one or two married Jewish males in their mid to late 40s with a queer daughter.

          I mean that’s why I felt comfortable posting it, and not feeling like I am contributing to doxxing. But if all that is all solely from memory, I can’t imagine how close someone could come to dropping a pin on you if they went through all your comments.

          Just a PSA, to each their own. Some woman on Tiktok just put 500 hours into detailing a part of her life, so clearly different people have different comfort levels on the internet.

          Oh and statistically there are less than 50,000 married jewish men in their 40s with a queer daughter. Probably closer to less than 15,000. But those are a lot of confounding variables, and I really didn’t feel like launching Minitab for this haha.

          I only noticed this because your comments generally are well received and resonate with me, so your username stuck in my mind.
