  • I mean idk about Jinx, she’s more or less just a traumatized wreck with huge guns than anything, but Vi absolutely. Caitlin will get there but her upper crust naivete that’s never been challenged until she goes to Zahn kinda stifles that. Hoping she gets a bigger dose of reality and it changes her character more significantly (just not enough screentime in the last part, really) in season 2.

    No, they’re saying that as a person they don’t really care about it when relating to characters. We experience things as human beings, not by sexual orientation or sexual identification.

    Unless the specific human experience is related to sex/gender in some way, we feel what others feel and relate to them based on the character work and related narrative elements. Not just “is man/woman, please relate.”



  • You gave me numbers that show how many new people are trained in maintenance, you gave zero information about how many people in the military TOTAL are maintenance personnel. I’ve explained why your numbers are meaningless already.

    We don’t train people to mop the boat, everyone does that. That’s my point, every skilled technician also does the menial shit, we just take turns doing it. You don’t know that because you aren’t in the military, or you’d be aware of things like duty section and watch rotation, and how cross trained people are.

    Imagine having the money and space to have someone who’s only job is swabbing a deck, ridiculous. I’ll take my experience and just fuck off I guess because someone looked up the incorrect statistic for the argument and thinks it proves their point.


  • Correct, however I never said that was the amount trained per year which is the only data you’ve shown. I’m not arguing your math, you’re just misrepresenting the problem.

    That depends heavily on branch, in the Air Force one guy takes a tire off and another installs it. In the Navy the guy running Quality Assurance checks on your engine swapout might be the guy fueling your plane or launching you out. Same with the Marines.

    It’s true that the job of removal and installation is fairly dummy proof given you can read and follow instructions, but actually being able to lay out a schematic/circuit diagram and troubleshoot? Absolutely not lol get the fuck out of here.
