Happier times...
If only he'd gotten a brain bleed and died 
It sucks how AI has warped our reality already, it's not a big deal in this instance but I think I remember this image was goosed with AI to make him look more freaked out.
I figured as much - thanks for the heads up
Yea looks like it
/\ US-IS IRGC /\
the 
energy gets me every time, it's perfection
feels cliche at this point but it literally looks like a frame from a comedy sketch

I thought it was. This is real?
I thought this image was satirical. What the fuck is going on?
A dysfunctional military, itself a symptom of a dysfunctional governent (and a civilization in process of collapse) is utilizing theatrics to distract from its failures and shortcomings - specifically, the disasterous Iran War (itself started as theatrics intended to distract from government corruption and dysfunction)
In this instance, they are leveraging well known right-wing media personalities, whose brand commercializes toxic masculinity, in order to paint a military that can no longer equip, organize, or supply itself effectively as being more effective through the perception of a campaign that makes them more desirable/manly - a campaign run and organized by successive ranks of failed media personalities that have been installed into positions of power.
TLDR: We are all gonna die, but first it's gonna get real fucking stupid.
I dispute that the Iran war was a distraction or theatrics. But I still upbeared because what you said was funny.
Same. I'm probably happier not learning who these guys are, but it's hard not to be curious. Why is the guy at the podium dressed like he was interrupted after he just started changing and already got his tie off?
If it were just a couple years ago the "DEPARTMENT OF WAR" logo would have been the reassurance that this actually is from a comedy sketch.
They're grifters, the guy at the podium was notorious for making a YouTube video about the Japanese suicide forest where he went to oggle dead bodies.
Idiocracy
The death throes of the American empire 
They couldn't afford SpongeBob or spiderman
I really hate it here
disco elysium ass shirts
"good evening bros and bro-ettes."
Spiderman and spongebob were assassinated by Iran, The paul brothers are the only american heroes remaining.
record scratch, freeze frame
Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.
Both of them looking rough ngl.
im speculating on these two, but people who do a lot of blow and drink to excess frequently age themselves really fast, especially around the eyes. it's more acute than just frequent, heavy drinking.
the late 20-early 30s is when that divergence becomes noticeable, imo.
there are other environmental/lifestyle reasons for it, but that's my analysis of these two fuckups. if they keep it up, they're gonna look 50 by 35. and not in a sagacious way.
Looks like they're auditioning for a remake of Starsky and Hutch
anyone got the video link?
