The original singer of BNL left for mental health reasons, and imo the band never recovered.

But also, I agree with you xD

Ooh, oh my gosh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the tip ^^

Those look so good! What kind of air fryer do you have? I don't know if I keep buying ones that don't circulate air well enough or if it's something else, but between the two I've owned I haven't gotten a nice crisp on anything

I served during a war, but I'm not a combat veteran.

I think putting the focus on being a combat veteran to "earn" disability benefits is unfortunate, because there are things that can disable you even if you aren't at war. I know a lot of people who have broken their backs during routine maintenance, some who lost hearing to insufficient hearing protection on a flight line, a few who lost limbs to snapping arresting wires, some who have had debilitating reproductive cancer at very young ages because of the chemicals we were exposed to.

But I know far more veterans who are like me and weren't kept safe from their fellow soldiers/airmen/shipmates. I don't know if it's different now, but it was really common to just admin separate people who suffered what I did and not provide medical care. My command went so far as to tell me I was not a veteran and not to seek medical care or benefits when they gave me my discharge paperwork. They said that with straight faces, looking at me with my broken face and skull, bruised and sliced body, and barely able to stay awake because my brain was damaged.

Over 10% of female veterans have experienced what I did, 40% have experienced harassment, and about 5% of men also have the same kind of PTSD that comes from sexual trauma. Regardless of combat deployment status. That really points to an institutional problem with the military. So please, point at the commands when you want to take money away, instead of the people who are using the socialized Healthcare we signed contracts for in event of disability during service

My understanding is that there were people she knew personally involved, like other rescues as you said, and they spread the harassment through reddit/TikTok. But, we all know how insane reddit can be when there's a "cause". It got intense quickly

Suicide after a vicious bullying/harassment campaign on reddit. I think some of the criticisms of her rescue are valid, but should not have risen to the level of harassment and bullying that the snark community engaged in

It's rough out there for some of us. I have long curly hair and massive curves (I can't even bind because of medical issues). Trying to get people to use any pronouns but she/her is a lot of work

I loved when they got tired of putting the eye candy in those scenes and started throwing in random characters like Porthos.

Americans for spending so much on wars and veteran benefits that are abused at historic levels as social media taught people how to get to or near 100% disability ratings and lawyers specialized in getting high disability ratings for their clients

This is the first I'm hearing of that. Though I admit I don't use sm. I was given 100% for PTSD after going through an extremely stressful evaluation where the examiner deliberately triggered me several times. I say deliberate, but it was very subtle, if someone was faking it they wouldn't have noticed or even reacted.

On the flip side, I have a friend who is missing 10% of his brain to an IED, can't hear for shit, and can't walk very far because the part of his brain that is missing controls autonomous breathing - he has to think about it or he doesn't breathe. He was only given 30% and he honestly doesn't have the resources or mental fortitude to keep trying to get the VA to take care of him.
