This is like how fox news tries to say poor people should stop complaining cuz they have refrigerators and microwaves when 100 years ago nobody did.
How much of a sociopath do you have to be, to respond to serious concern about the well-being of their loved ones with “We gave them ice cream a month ago, isn’t that good enough?” and think that’s an appropriate answer that ends the argument.
The problem for Trump and his tribe is that once you are known as a liar, who believes you about anything?
That’s right, tell these people that have voted for you, that they are being whiney and disloyal, as their CHILD defends this country in Trump’s AmerIsraeli War®.
I wouldn’t count on their vote next time. That’s going to the candidate that promises to end this war on Day One, and bring their child home, and means it.
you eat ice cream when moral is bad, the freezers fail, or moral is about to get very bad because command knows what they are about to do to you
Don’t they usually give them bulk icecream to eat when they need the space in the freezer for dead people?
I know they do that on cruise ships. I used to work on ships, and we always knew the onboard morgue was full when we got hard ice cream in the mess.
How many fucking people died on your cruise ships?
I’d be surprised if it’s not uncommon. Cruise ships tend to skew older. If they mostly did cruises that catered towards elderly vacationers, I can see more than a few of them just buying it just from the law of averages.
When we did the Panama Canal run, quite a few. Someone died every single Canal day.
That sucks. Some type of mosquito-born illness?

Damn, they probably charged $10 for a bottle of water too
The have morgues
Yes, but filling them and needing to overflow into the ice cream freezer?
To fill a morgue you just need a higher than average mortality rate.
If the ship only has room for 2, then a 3rd death means overflow.
Nobody said overflow means 100 people.
If your maximum capacity is only enough for your average rate, you’ve designed it to overflow roughly half the time.
You’re right, but it also likely isn’t designed to never overflow, because then you’re wasting money, and the owners couldn’t have that! I’m sure it’s designed to handle like the highest 90% or something like that. There’s almost certainly an expected amount of overflow. It’s like all infrastructure is built to handle only a certain percentage of events, because over building has massive costs.
I am, why not
Let this be a ‘Let them eat cake’ momet please. And hoist Pete Antoinette to the scaffold.
Reminds me of a story in _The New Scientist _ in the dying days of the Soviet Union where scientists at the space research institute were sent crates of ice blocks instead of the parts they needed for the space station. They were punching and elbowing each other out of the way to get to them.
What!?!
Sounds like that old “he owns a car so he can’t really be poor” argument.
If not on a Sunday, ice cream is generally a last ditch effort to prop up fading morale or to soften REALLY bad news.
Ice cream to celebrate a record breakingly long deployment!
Knowing this administration, they probably sent the ships ice cream a month ago so that they could point to it later and say “see, the troops are fine. We’re not abusing or neglecting them.”
That’s actually classic narc/abuser behavior. Buy your kids some ice cream so that you can tell them how spoiled they are when they complain about you beating them or being emotionally unavailable.
I wonder where these assholes learned it…
Y’all got ice cream?
Suckers and losers.
I’ve cream is what you get the kids after they go through trauma.
Legitimately, this is a thing we all know.
It’s also what you get kids for birthday parties to go along with cake
Damn, must’ve missed that one.
“I can’t be going through a crisis. I just finished a tub of ice cream.”
Didn’t they make them eat ice cream?
