Same, USAF but decades ago. It was actually the USAF protocol office I called to verify the “mister” address for WO. Not because we had them, but because they still have protocol for how to address them, generally army chopper pilots if I recall.
eta: I should also clarify that I don’t know that to be true. It could easily be one of those ID-10t situations where somebody tricked us into calling protocol and they went along with it. Could be complete bullshit.
Not sure what military you served in, but the one I served in definitely didn’t call women sir until instructed otherwise. However, “mister” may be correct for all warrant officers.
Pretty sure it dates back to the dawn of commerce.
You must realize terrible stuff was happening over that time period too. Yes, there is a ton of regression happening right now, but compared to any other time in history some things are better some are worse. One can probably select any two points in modern history and say the same. There are always great and terrible things happening.
More anti-signal propaganda? Who is claiming it can’t be associated to a user. The messages are private, not anonymous.
You are not alone. Some of that stress is good. Drives accomplishment. But we need to have clear, achievable milestones. Write it down, and discard anything where you don’t see a clear outcome.
And for me, making my bed in the morning and cleaning the kitchen directly after dinner have always been the biggest mitigations for my “too much shit to do” stress.
Achievement unlocked: self-reliance
Heck! even mundane alcohol, mundane sex, and mundane food bring me joy.
Tough to argue with that.
At least based on your other post… it seems like a pretty good deal for somebody.
You want to be a housewife but not depend on a man? How does that work?
Octopodes are too smart probably. That’d be more like slave ownership. Tongue in cheek btw.
They think we make pretty good pets.
What is this? Good news? In this economy? It simply cannot be!
Could use the browser versions of the office tools as an intermediary.
I do each to the extent that I can, but it is a bit more difficult outside the country. And what actions we do each take isn’t always something we want to post about online. At any rate, petitions won’t do it.
Generally need a reason to do something. Don’t see how signing this moves the needle. Protest and contact congressmen. Internet petitions won’t save you. Collective action irl, strikes, and raising hell might.
The problem will get worse until consumer protection and privacy are priorities. It will only get worse yet with the growth of identity verification enforcement across technologies.
Oh I misunderstood you. I thought you were using the Star Trek reference as just a supporting claim that militaries follow this practice. But I see now you meant only in that context.
