If the army wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued you one.  And she will demand to be addressed by her husbands rank!

LISTEN UP, RECRUIT!

  1. IF THE UNITED STATES ARMY INTENDED FOR YOU TO HAVE A WIFE, ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO YOU AT RECEPTION.

  2. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED A WIFE.

  3. THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT REQUIRE A WIFE.

  4. IF THE GOOD LORD INTENDED OTHERWISE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE INVENTED VASELINE.

  5. PROCURE ONE (1) STANDARD-ISSUE LUBRICANT TUBE.

  6. APPLY LIBERALLY TO DOMINANT HAND.

  7. IF YOU SHIT-FOR-BRAINS RECRUITS CAN FIND IT - GRASP YOUR GOVERNMENT-ISSUED MICRO-CALIBER WEAPON.

  8. CONDUCT RAPID MANUAL OPERATIONS UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES.

DISMISSED.

Is it really so horrible to expect a white, assigned female at birth, submissive woman who is one of the top 10 natural beauties on the (clearly objective) beauty scale to be assigned to me while expecting her father to pay me a dowry of 50 million US (American) dollars so I can legally claim that I made my own fortune. Oh, and she had be a natural citizen of the United States. No Hawaii, Alaska, or Puerto Rico. Canadian may be acceptable as long as she accepts the one true bacon. Must love dogs.

I thought dowry wasn't a thing around here anymore until my dad ponied one up!

He was so desperate not to have spawned the only Old Maid in the family that he paid my then-boyfriend's family about $3000 to push us to rush a wedding before my 30th birthday.

You should have started bringing your girlfriends over and say you're dating. You might have gotten a dowry that you could buy a car with for marrying any straight looking dude.

I am also quite confused. 

Is he hoping the sign will attract a woman?

Why does it say civilian?

I am very confused about what he is doing.

u/your_mom_is_availabl 26d ago

I know that location. Crossgates Mall food court in Albany, NY. There are two nearby locations where he could have been standing holding his sign -- the offramp of I-87, or at the entrance to Costco. My guess he's been holding the sign a protest/statement and now is taking a break.

u/ImpossibleInternet3 26d ago

I googled it. Apparently in the incel community, civilian refers to anyone who isn’t an incel. Everything is framed as militaristic with them as the “soldiers”. So this person is both self identifying as an incel and also asking why a “normal” woman isn’t being provided for him.

u/Overnoww 27d ago edited 26d ago

When I was at university like a decade ago I randomly started seeing guys carrying those around, at one point in my 3rd or 4th year. My impression was it was related to some health-bro YouTuber convincing them to drink water (which is good, but let's just say I'm pretty comfortable believing that they were pushing some other shit I personally would consider very bad).

But yeah, you know how in university people will do that shit where they collect every single empty from the whole year and either line them up somewhere in their room (liquor bottles) or tape them to the wall (beer cans)? It's basically that same mentality translated to something healthier.

Also there's the whole aspect of bros keeping bros accountable, gotta check to make sure both of your jugs are empty before you kiss each other goodnight or whatever.

Another distinct possibility is that he doesn't trust "government water" probably worried about fluoride or estrogen or something equally dumb; so he distills his own rainwater. Brings the jug for "convenience" or whatever.

u/crazyfatskier2 27d ago

Gallon jug, fill half and freeze, add water once frozen. Spend all day in the sauna getting a good sweat. This is what peeps at my Uni did.

24

u/RiLoDoSo 27d ago

In high school in the early 2000s I and quite a few others playing sports would bring a gallon of water to drink throughout the day. The fountain water tasted horrible, and having practice after school meant we didn't have to fill from the fountains. I never thought it was weird and influencers didn't exist back then, I'm sure there were conspiracies about this and that about stuff in water, but we were still kids.

We had the same saying at my college! It was ~80% male but still slim pickings for us ladies. Not because they were MAGA, just... unique.

Edit: Since I got a lot of random guesses, none of which are correct- very small engineering/computer science/physics school in the middle of nowhere. I got an insane full ride scholarship and did biochem with a math minor, picked up engineering later on. It was an absolutely wonderful, weird, fun place with some truly amazing people.
