This Is From An Actual Official USAF Email
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore…
Yup. Beat me to it. Preach.
I find myself using that quote with frightening regularity.
This literally what I came here to say.
Yeah, I had to explain to my Chief that our PD was a Pokémon Gym.
The core concept of why this was “fun” for people was lost on him.
I hope everyone that plays pokemon catches AIDS and cancer
Don’t be too fast to bitch. I haven’t seen the video game playing kids in days. They have all been out running around the neighborhood capturing whatever the hell goes on in this game. It’s not shooting squirrels and rabbits in the woods but at least they are outside.
Aye bingo, I’m tempted to old man about these darn kids and their vid’jya games but they’re not mine and they wee ones are outside running around and exploring away from the hovering form of mother hen.
If they’re having fun and not being unsafe eh go for it.
P.S. Anyone comes and says there’s a pokemon in my yard is gonna be sorely disappointed because I’m catching that thing.
I can understand the kids. But we have people calling out to play the game, because they were out late at night.
(shake head) Won’t vote, won’t fight, but will chase an invisible imaginary animal.
On the flip side, I was doing some surveillance of this flop house in the really shitty neighborhood, and right as the sun is going down, three 8th-9th graders walk into said neighborhood while obviously hunting some kind of poke creature.
Never saw them walk back out. But never heard gun shots either. Eh, I’m sure they’re fine.
I agree with you. Central business areas are packed with people, spending their money and being social and civil with each other. Strangers are engaging strangers in conversation like its from Pleasantville. Furthermore, its getting people outside exercising. The first lady has been preaching ‘play 60’ initiative for 7 years and PokemonGo met more of that goal in a week!
I’ve got bigger things to hate on than a simple game that seemingly has more benefits than detractors.
This season’s Pet Rock concept. Give it another month, no one will care.
They were saying that about Pokémon when I was a kid way back in the day. The hype for this will probably die down, but it’ll reincarnate in one form or another.
As a reply to some of the comments above regarding how refreshing it is that kids are outside enjoying nature etc.. I am not sure that you understand the original post. The Freakin Air Force (A branch of the US Military) has so many adult turdbags playing this kids game, that they had to remind them not to play with their phones and not to “chase freaking Pokemon” into a restricted area.
People are dying in this country, world geopolitics is at the crossroads of our lifetime, and I have to worry that someone with access to sensitive areas and information is playing mfing Pokemon.
Wake up people.
This^^^^ Wtf has happened to “adults”?.. This game is an intentional distraction from real life and a data collection program. Nobody even bothers to read the agreement or pays attention to the access this app gives to personal info. Mainstream media is pushing this for a reason. Wake up indeed people…
Got to the AB gate to leave, Airmen see’s my TC playing the damn game. Instead of briefing him on OPSEC and having location on he opted to tell him where all the pokemon were on base.
Ha! Gheyeeeee!
I remember the Pokémon craze from when I was a teenager. I was never into Pokémon; I was into weird stuff like girls and sports.
Unreal….
Sigh.
People HAVE become that stupid….
Every single government organization has had to send out a version of this exact email. Some in the IC have had to send out multiple emails about it.
This country is doomed!
Damn Air Force with all their nerds and technical savy losers who are under 21 and played this shit when they were kids who can do shit on computers that 99% of the SSD can’t do and now they have the opportunity ro essentially play Pokemon in real life and people are shocked they do?
