I always hate this viewpoint that if someone doesn’t understand what someone else is saying on a website designed to facilitate conversation, they should Google it instead of asking.
Aside from that, it really makes you look like a heel for using jargon and chiding other people for not knowing it.
I did a basic internet search for EOS and OCS, and I found lip balm and a cannabis dispensary.
If you’re using a TLA (three letter acronym) you should probably recognize that some acronyms are common and have multiple interpretations.
If you’re concerned about people looking like an idiot for asking questions, you should probably be aware that calling people an idiot for seeking information has the opposite result.
Like there isn’t going to be eight million different explanations in Google for acronyms with letters as common as EOS or OCS. Have you never used Google?
Personally I read eos as endeavouros.
Also ASVAB is an aptitude test by the USMEPCOM (United States Military Entrance Processing Command) So not only is it irrelevant for the average bloke that doesn’t want to serve in the military but also for anyone not in the US. (At least if other countries do use this test I missed that)
Also Office of Community Services was first mentioned in the 27th result on Google when I searched for OCS.
Moral of the story, just because you find it easily at your location and with your browsing habits doesn’t mean it’s that easy for everyone else. Please keep this in mind next time someone asks about the meaning of an acronym.
If you’re posting something, it’s your job to do so in a way that people can understand your posts. Posting a bunch of industry-specific acronyms and then being condescending when someone asks you to clarify because they didn’t go and do homework on your stupid post doesn’t make them look dumb, it makes you look like a smug prick.
Where do you get filtered into if you’re too dumb to realize that half the shit in the Anarchist’s Cookbook is actually completely wrong, and act belligerent about it anyway?

I know all these letters… maybe I should read the book to understand you.
EOS is a cryptocurrency, OCS is the office of community service
You’re welcome
And ASVAB? Agency for Super Villains And Babies?
Armed Service Vocational Aptitude Battery - AKA the “Are you stupid, and what can you do?” test.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t too far off…
EOS is a type of medical imaging, OCS is oral corticosteroids.

Most people don’t live in the US and don’t know or care about US military abbreviations.

Moreover, they are talking about military service being relevant or close to 99% of other vocations or daily lives of civilians.
Especially when you’re in a community about comic strips.

Only if they’re looking for cannon fodder. I’m 46 and chronically ill.
I don’t think I need to know any military abbreviations.

Mother-in-law recruiter?!?
I believe that’s called a fiancee.
Hey hey why so much aggression. Is that to deflect something you miss?
