The US Navy has denied reports of food shortages on board two major vessels participating in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Yesterday USA Today reported crew aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were not getting enough to eat.
One photo taken by a Marine showed a mostly empty lunch tray with a single scoop of shredded meat and one tortilla.
You just call people who criticize you Pharisees in the US?
I’m so glad I grew up with the united church, where the lesson was mostly help your neighbour and strangers.
That’s too big a word and too specific a bible reference. They’ll just ask if you’re some kind of queer and then vaguely threaten to shoot you.
Nope, but I did grow up around people who would hear that in a meeting and then absolutely want to use their new linguistic toy every chance they got, despite not at all analyzing even the half-layer deep that would be required to understand what using it implies about who you think you are (or your boss is).
Yes, it’s just lingo
Yeah I don’t know what this guy is talking about. I grew up in a very rural very republican part of a southern state and I sure as shit never heard anybody call anybody a Pharisees.
Or at least not outside of a church
No, only fuckheads like him do that. Most Americans wouldn’t even know that that means.
I don’t, I’m an atheist because of people like that. But yeah Americans love to think they’re a Bible protagonist.
