I think so, too. This is why it’s important to talk about non-combat PTSD. So more people get the help they need, and there’s less stigma around it.

I’m a Navy veteran with service connected PTSD. People question if I have PTSD sometimes and it does indeed piss me off, but I’m not out here claiming to have been blown up while serving. People are starting to become aware that PTSD doesn’t always stem from combat, and that awareness will help more people going forward. Mine comes from being attacked and raped by my shipmates, I didn’t expect to survive it.

I don’t feel disgust that USA Today asked him about his service, instead I wonder why he didn’t have a better response. He could have offered education about PTSD or said he wanted to increase transparency around disability ratings in the VA, or any number of things.

There are plenty of recent pictures of her at Mar-a-lago. She’s not just a supporter, she’s someone that has been to his parties

Conservative political action conference

Orban was a guest speaker a couple years ago in the US. Seems like he founded the cpac in Hungary afterwards

McChicken is the only thing I get from McDonald’s on the rare occasion I stop by in a road trip.

Gotta add pickles though

I don’t disagree. I just find it interesting how strongly the media jumped on their connection but there may be another reason for the professor’s death

It’s interesting that Nuno Loureiro is part of this list. I thought the articles that came out after his death said the (now dead) man who killed him once worked with him. So it seemed personal and not conspiracy-related

My dad was/is a gamer. We had every Nintendo system except the SNES at release. He’s a little bit older than the grandpa in this scenario, but he still gamed on the old systems by the time I stopped speaking to them. Had a huge CRT in the garage next to the beer fridge and all that lol. My sibling and I had our own games that we could play, but we always had to ask permission because the systems were my dad’s

I’m glad it has the name of the comic and the artist visible. I just went to check out some of the comics, they are so cute!

I was an AuDHD kid in the 90s. That specific word was thrown at me a lot by both adults and my peers, especially because I lose the ability to speak when I’m stressed/overstimulated. I guess it still hurts when I hear it or read it, and going off this thread that’s a “me” problem. Definitely regret posting my original comment

I don’t understand why this word has come back into common usage

Whoa. It’s crazy how varied velvet ants are. I was so sure the ones I grew up with were red with a black stripe in the middle of their abdomen.

Turns out I didn’t misremember: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasymutilla_occidentalis

There was an article a few weeks ago where folks were interviewed at a gas station in Pennsylvania. Two of the Trump voters who was fine with the higher prices said it was an acceptable price to pay to keep the nation safe. They really thought Iran was going to attack the US, possibly with nukes.

I have no hope of changing the minds who fervently believe in that crap

Oh, I’ll start! Pentastarm, you’re so handsome!

Well, that’s my new word for the day xD

It actually breaks the community rules.

She had a whole letter to her fans with rules about it.

They are breaking the community rule for 2 posts per day while doing this. Just spamming comics with credits removed. Also one comic they posted today breaks the “family friendly” rule
