  • It’s semi-accurate, it’s based on a memoir but heavily modified. That said, boot camp is supposed to break someone down, get them to think like a soldier, Airman, sailor, or marine depending on branch. The Navy for example puts a lot more emphasis on critical decision making than the Marines, the Marines emphasize martial prowess, the Army is somewhere between, and the Air Force is kinda just a souped up summer camp.

    No one becomes a drill instructor to bully people, they do it because it’s all but required for advancement at a certain point in jobs that have a low promotion rate. There is some bullying in a sense but at least Navy side it’s fairly minimal and the experience is mostly focused on learning things then making sure you can perform your now learned duties under duress.

    The Marines boot camp (what’s in the show) is focused on making sure that when a lot of people are screaming different things you can still execute the task at hand, effectively making sure you can be effective and task focused even in chaotic situations. At least that’s what I hear from Marines, I also hear they do in fact do some shit like stealing toilet paper and stuff, the Marines don’t care if your smart, or make good decisions, just that you can execute tasks in chaos.









  • Monero is specifically designed to be resistant to GPU mining, and has a set inflation rate of ~2% with no cap. In other words it effectively is governed nearly identically to normal currency and anyone can participate reasonably.

    Additionally, while the value has gone up, that’s primarily thanks to it being used as a currency. It’s the preferred crypto for black markets.

    Unlike Bitcoin it processes transactions quickly and with low fees. There is no way to know who sent what amount to whom or how much anyone has of it. It is the closest thing there is to digital cash.






  • Original author retains the right to re-license anything they release. So for example I’ve created artwork and related it under a non-commercial license. No one else can use if for profit, but if one day I want to, I can, I can also grant someone a comercial license if I choose. But the original work can still be used by anyone for anything non-commercial.
