- Comment on Anon goes to the gym for the first time 1 week ago:
I go to the Y, and it’s like this. Same for most local gyms. It’s the shit places like Planet Fitness and other mega gyms that are filled with problems.
My Y also has zero tolerance for anyone filming or taking pictures. It’s incredible.

The VA has to process the claim, and in the meantime you get no medical treatment for anything.
Let’s use the cancer. You are in, a fine soldier, and get diagnosed with cancer. Not only do you now lose your job, but you lose your entire life and support system. You instantly lose your house, medical coverage, and source of income. All of it is gone immediately along with any plans for retirement.
You now go home, your wife has also left you because you are now a shitbum with cancer, and owe $2000/mo in child support based on military income and you have no means to pay it. You file with the VA to get your cancer taken care of and are told it may be 12-36 months before it’s processed.
You get a minimum wage job since civilian employers don’t care about military experience. Most of your check is garnished for child support but still isn’t enough so you lose your driver’s license. You cannot pay rent so apply for homeless veteran housing which has a ten year waitlist. So you are now homeless and working, slowly dying of cancer on the sidewalk. You try to get help at a hospital, but since you are a veteran they say “VA has got you”.
There you lay, rotting from the inside, wondering how it all went wrong when only two months ago you were counseling soldiers on why they shouldn’t buy cars at 29% interest and to make better life choices. Yes, this exact scenario plays out all the goddamn time.

I just looked at the enlisted pay table charts. Unless he lives somewhere with his COLA payments and has kids, he probably isn’t making 78k/yr.
If there is one thing we love in the military, it’s telling big fish stories.

The way you get around it is discussing what is possible in person. You write a few bullets about your skills but not tied to the contracting. Don’t be specific, it’s not needed.
I don’t even put my military stuff on resumes anymore.
- Comment on Anon is a real 4channer and definitely not a fed 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s shit that they backdate stuff from your intent to file date. There was a lawsuit that made it to SCOTUS about equitable tolling, and to everyone’s non-surprise all nine judges voted against it. Can’t give a bunch of vets a windfall, need to keep up poor.
When I got out, I filed three times and every time it was “lost”. Sorry, dude, file again. Hahaha fuck you!
Was convinced to file again during Covid and the process had completely changed. Was all digital, no more lost paperwork. Took almost two years, got it all sorted out
- Comment on Anon is a real 4channer and definitely not a fed 3 weeks ago:
They forget to pay you as well? That was fun for me.
Mine was supposed to pay out after basic, then in two additional 1/3 installments. I got the first one, the other two never hit my account. Was told “that’s just how it is, soldier. Good luck finding someone who can make it right.”
This was from an O5 in the IG’s office.

Did you file with the VA? If not, you need to. Get all the benefits possible.
I filed three times after getting out, got a lot of “we lost it, file again! Haha!” I told myself since all my limbs are attached, didn’t deserve anything. Someone finally convinced me otherwise and now I get a little extra every month as well as being able to go to the VA for routine stuff.

Probably still likes smoking crack. It is a powerful drug.
- Comment on Anon is a real 4channer and definitely not a fed 3 weeks ago:
Except if you get cancer while in they medically discharge you and leave you with nothing. “Go file with the VA!”
I was in for ten years and saw it happen multiple times.
- Comment on Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago? 3 weeks ago:
I used to be against those, but then it kind of shifted for me with all the cartel videos. It brought to life the horrors of what they are doing to normal people.
While it’s not for everyone, that stuff does have its place. Reddit banning all those subs when the Christchurch shooting happened was stupid.
- Comment on Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago? 3 weeks ago:
I did miss the original dark humor of r/imgoingtohellforthis, before it turned into people just posting outright racist and homophobic garbage.

Keep moving those goalposts to make Elon look good. Maybe someday he will matter.
Dude is a fraud, an Edison. Stop worshipping pieces of shit.
- Comment on He came with receipts 3 weeks ago:
Which Wlon has contributed nothing. He isn’t an engineer, he isn’t a scientist, he doesn’t even understand free body diagrams. He is fucking stupid.
- Comment on He came with receipts 3 weeks ago:
He is not first named on all of them, which means he likely advised masters and PhD/post docs on their work. It’s not uncommon.
This many papers is uncommon, but how it happened is not out of the norm.
- Comment on He came with receipts 3 weeks ago:
Because they don’t chatter in like a sub-70 IQ Harpy wanting attention?
Musk is a fraud. He was never accepted into a PhD program. He lied about his physics degree and was awarded one while not attending after daddy gave money to the school. He doesn’t know shit about science, engineering, or literally anything except how to be an edgelord.
Dude is a fucking loser and companies succeed in spite of him.

They let them have all the rejects. It’s a brown paper bag filled with ugly chocolates. He said how they taste better because most of the time they are not homogenous. Might get a big yummy blob of peanut butter or something.
- Comment on You can pry these high voltage lines from my sizzling dead fingers 4 weeks ago:
Have a buddy that switch to chemical from mech, and he likes talking a lot of shit in college.
Now he helps design food processes in factories. Said it’s hell, he got to look at the peanut butter and chocolate for Herseys and he can’t stick his fingers in the vat. The horror.
- Comment on Anon catches his wife 5 weeks ago:
90% of the content on Reddit’s XXchromosome is women shitting on their husbands or boyfriends, and it’s a big subreddit.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
They also view it as a silver bullet solution to most of the world’s climate problems. I have heard and read so many of them say how if everyone were vegan, pollution would almost disappear overnight and the earth would be saved.
They of course are the loudest vegans possible and make the rest look bad.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 1 month ago:
My only issue is with Congress telling us all “you have not seen what we have seen, you have not been in the classified briefings”. Yeah, I heard the same shit about WMD’s in Iraq where two of my battle buddies died, two more got wounded beyond any recovery, and a bunch more chose to end their lives after we got home.
“Trust us, bro”. Nah, fuck you. You want the world to support this, you need to share the information.

I got a huge strike, which eventually led to me being account banned from Reddit (seven year account, 600k karma) for calling out Israel for the pogrom against the Palestine people. Reddit is really trash now, most of the reference questions are 2+ years old.
It’s in a necrotic state of rot right now.
- Comment on AI Is Poisoning Reddit to Promote Products and Game Google With 'Parasite SEO' 2 months ago:
Want to back you up on a point. People have been copy/pasting, or adding fluff like a high school paper, to AP articles since its inception. This was happening well before the earliest days of the internet.

You don’t turn the phone off, you leave it at home. Unless you are removing the battery, the phone is not completely off.

- Comment on How Subscription Services are designed to BANKRUPT you 2 months ago:
I guess including gym fees, I am about that much. But they all get used. If the guy in the video was utilizing $1500/mo in subs and they made his life better, then go for it.

Kids would get beat in schools up until the early 90’s. A lot of times it was an opt-out situation as well.
- Comment on Art posting 2 months ago:
Nah, head would be the way to go. You would bleed out so fast and there are not a lot of pain sensors there. You would feel a bad headache and then the saw would tear up your brain, and that’s it.
Pelvis you will go into a long state of shock, but only after your genitals are all cut up.

What is neat is how you experience sunset from a 360 degree perspective rather than just the normal western arc.
