Literally every guy I knew in 10th group that went out for CAG came back with some ankle injury from the land nav course. Didn't help my gopher-hole paranoia. Why is seemingly every stateside DZ just teeming with some kind of burrowing creatures?

You ain't the only one! I gotta stop scrolling.
I don't attribute a lot of positive things to social media, but I will give it credit for turning me around on spiders. Arachnophobia scared the crap out of me as a kid. For years afterward, I'd never sit down on a toilet without first getting down on my hands and knees to make sure there weren't any spiders lurking underneath the bowl. Thanks to years of spiderbro memes, now I generally view them as comrades.
It was noticeably quieter this year in my neighborhood. I blame the election and the unseasonably warm weather.
Perhaps the Balrog underestimated Gandalf, thinking it could cast him into the abyss, then fly back up to deal with the rest of the Fellowship. Alternatively, maybe it calculated that its best chance of defeating the wizard was to grapple with him at close quarters. Either way, the Balrog falling doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't capable of flight.
Yeah, certainly there are many different kinds of bread. I'm sure I was overly broad in designating all dough made with butter as pastry. I was responding to the previous comment , which I interpreted as implying that butter(or bonemeal, in a pinch) is a necessary ingredient in bread.
But.. you don't use butter to make bread. Flour and water, maybe some yeast. If you're using butter to make dough, then it's some kind of pastry.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
I have a really hard time staying cool and collected when I discuss politics with people who hold right-wing positions. As a result, I never do volunteer work for political campaigns, because it seems like the only positions available are phone-banking and door-knocking. It's frustrating; I want to help, but I feel strongly that I'd do more harm than good, doing either of those things.

Most SF guys I've known have been pretty chill. Some of the young guys are dumb assholes, but that's hardly exclusive to the special forces community. They're certainly given a lot more latitude than the rank and file, and that can go to their heads. Shitheels like this are not the norm, based on my limited perception and sample size (mainly us army SF).
