      I proudly display my love of my corgis by wearing a corgi riding a dinosaur in front of a rainbow on a muscle shirt when I take one for a walk.

      I’ve just never understood that whole concept. I have a penis, I consider myself a man. Anyone looking at me would assume I was a man. Why do I need to prove it?

        Having a penis isn’t even a requirement, since even homophobes have to admit that someone losing their penis to injury is still a man.

        Once the penis requirement is out of the way, being a man just comes down to presentation and self identity.

      Yep, the ones that brag after their service usually haven’t done dick while they were in. Also, a good way to spot a bullshitter is simply asking what their MOS number was.

          It’s codes the military uses to identify your job and job description. Each has their own sets of rules and procedures, and personnel use specific terminology when in a specific job field. That’s why it’s easy to spot a bullshitter.

            Yeah, but the Airman know what people mean when they ask, because no one else knows what an Air Force Specialty Code is outside of us.

            I usually just dumb it down if a Marine or Soldier asks my Mos and say that I was in IT because I’m not sure that they can handle any words that aren’t acronyms.

          It’s is. Each military designates their members by the operational (occupational) specialty. Each Service does it different. For example, Navy doesn’t use MOS in conversation, Army does.

      Sorta like how the Black Panthers and Malcom X advocated Black people arming themselves or Leftist militias, they (the Right) think we’ll just cower in fear when they decide to come for us. I’m 100% for non-violence, but if you come after me I will defend myself.

        I’m about 75% for violence because I’m a lunatic who would always knock down the 300s in any weather but I’m 25% against it because my dumb ass misses the 50s sometimes and I know Urban ops are in that range.

        Also because war is absolute hell on the best days and something I hope I never need to show any proficiency in again.

    Those are trained attack corgis. They may look cute, but their itty bitty widdle teefies can rip apart your throat if you so much as look at them wrong. When you’re watching their little fluffy butts when they walk, they just see you as a target. Just today’s hit. One signal, one word - and it’s over. You’ve been mauled to death by adorable attack sausages.

      After closer inspection, I suspect that this is a Photoshop. The lettering does not warp correctly to the shape of the jacket, although a lot of attention to detail has been taken to make it look like it does. But when you pointed out that it’s off center, I also noticed there’s little or no shading on any of the letters, the color is far too consistent for the wear pattern of that jacket, and the lighting doesn’t match

      You noticing that it was off-center made me realize that, it’s off-center because whoever Photoshop that label on the jacket did not properly warp the text at the top to make it centered

        No I think the “forgot” in the bottom right shows it’s real. That’d be a heck of a wrinkle to fold in if they didn’t care about it.

          There is some warping, like, they tried, but they did a lazy job. Look at the left edge: it’s perfectly straight. It wouldn’t be on a jacket like that.

          They clearly used the ‘overlay’ mode to capture some of the lighting and texture differences, but that only does so much without proper warping.

          Edit: compare it to this, which is a real print. zoom in and check out the edges, the texture, the fitting. OP’s meme is a shoop.

            I dont think it is. ELA shows no obvious alterations, and the person is clearly wearing the jacket crooked to the right (Look at the sleeve lines, left side is on top of the shoulder right side is on the side of the shoulder)

            The print isnt off-center, the whole jacket is.

            Edit: got my lefts and rights wrong.

              sorry, I mean… you’re not wrong in your observations, it’s just that this is clearly to me (30+ years as a graphic designer doing this sort of stuff) like a shoop. It’s a good shoop, but I’m experienced enough to see the flaws/shortcomings that fool most everyone, but, to my eye, gives it away.

              And mine would be better. (Which, I realize, I will now have to prove— but doing this properly would take hours, so don’t hold your breath. I’ll post the results later.)

                I used to do screen printing on shirts and made digital mock-ups of the printed designs in photoshop (GIMP, actually) and I have done some work for strangers in reddit /photoshoprequest. This looks too good for a meme edit IMO but I cant compete against 30 years of experience, specially when I just learned by clicking around lol, so I’ll take your word for it. I just commented because I kinda enjoy photo forensics and learning how things are made.

                And mine would be better. (Which, I realize, I will now have to prove…

    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Corgi Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Cat-a, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in german shepherd warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US canine forces. You are nothing to me but just another treat. I will wipe you the fuck out with pawcision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of staffies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, cat-boy. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can have zoomies anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare paws. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Kennel Club and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little bad-dog. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “catty” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have worn your fucking cone. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
