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 did mean it in the dragon context, haven’t had my coffee yet xD Thank you for the correction

The article is confusing because it paints him as a “highly respected” ethical hunter and conservationist that hunts under culling licenses, but goes on to say the duiker he was hunting is rare and elusive. Wikipedia lists it as near threatened.

Man had a horde hoard of animal trophies too, so it seems like he just found a loophole to killing and collecting animals in a ‘respectable’ way

Edit: pre-coffee typo :)

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.

I keep my doors closed both for climate control and light. I prefer darker spaces but I have indoor vegetable plants in my spare bedroom. I very softly close my doors though, because I’m overly sensitive to sound lol

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

I wish I could get her to watch ds9 with me, I imagine Vic Fontaine would be her favorite character though

She believes in aliens too, but not in the sense of little green men. She claims that they are prophets from the old testament that time travel, she always mentioned that passage in Kings with a burning chariot in the sky when she was talking about aliens. She gave me a book about it once, I kind of wish I had held on to it for the laughs.

I’ve mentioned this before, but my grandmother fully believes in Bigfoot, and claims there are sub-species of Sasquatch that she’s personally seen throughout the US. Debunking this movie won’t matter to her, I doubt she’d even consider for a moment that the footage is fake.

He asked if the guy was right-winged. Yes, he was.

He was also anti-goverment following the killings in the siege at Waco, which is why he bombed that federal building.

Timothy McVeigh did the OK city bombing, and he was a registered republican.

I think it’s because she’s under investigation for money laundering.

Every college chemistry class I’ve taken (5 now) has had a professor asking why no living thing uses all d-aminos. Kinda sounds like that experiment may answer the question one way or another!

I’m an idiot that doesn’t understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?

I think New Zealand is safe, because it’s never on any maps

I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol

Too much filler, it’s settling weird on her face and lips. I’m assuming she keeps injecting more without dissolving the previous batch. Look up pictures of her from 2018 and you’ll see how much filler she’s packed into her cheeks, eye troughs, and lips.

It also looks like her makeup is extremely dry, but the way it’s caked on over uneven skin does make me wonder if she has a condition like rosacea. I have rosacea and don’t wear makeup because it just looks worse than my bare skin lol

My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk

From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish

That or the pages are littered with paragraph-long highlights, underscores, and “THIS!!!” in the margins but no critical thought or insights on the passages
