It’s a new kind of sandwich you take a couple bites out of them throw it away in front of homeless people.

Be careful when playing. People are reporting in reviews that their game files are getting corrupted after falling off ledges in various dungeons. People losing 100+ hour games.

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.

Sand drag racing at the end of a long road trip. It’s just not practical!

I just looked at the enlisted pay table charts. Unless he lives somewhere with high 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.

V6 Mustang with only 167,000 miles.

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.

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

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.

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.

Nanotechnology, finally my penis will be heralded as a hero!

Darkness…imprisoning me…all that I see…absolute horror

Pfft, like that ever stopped them.

“Early release here we come!”

For this particular design, they could have powered the earth by connecting turbines to the eyes of every engineer and project manager from us all rolling them in the back of our heads upon hearing “no cost overruns or delays”.

There is a lot of old money where I grew up, and it was funny hearing about Blackrock trying to buy their properties. They would offer these people ten times the value, but old money was just “but, that’s just a little bit more money in the money bin. I have a massive house and estate to look at the peasants. Why would I bother?”

My kids can also make poop dragon pictures. Has entertained them for hours.

Look up how much pollution is made from the massive shipping boats when they get into international waters and start burning bilge oil.
