I figure there has to be a lot of it out there, but I don't know where to look.

Holy shit! I've literally had 2 therapists at the same time through the VA, both specializing in two different issues I was dealing with. The wait was really short. I could literally book a walk in appointment with my primary care like it's urgent-ish care for same day if I'm lucky next day more likely. When I get my labs done, I'm in and out in about 10 minutes.

I saw a video clip of it, the guy just called it "yellow cheese".

Totally not a religious cult, this capitalism thing.

And to that end, as a vet myself I can tell you that the average burgerlander essentially sees us like we're gods (it's unnerving tbh). So if we start going off when strangers want to "thank you for your service" (happens more often than you'd think), we can cause a bit of a stir and vets benefits are a bit of a third rail politically. Even having the training and experience I do, I'm legit afraid of other vets that are mentally unwell. Luigi's adventure would look like child's play.

This is kind of weird to me, I get VA services and they've been really damn good. They have however gotten worse as they've privatizing things more and more. Then I talk with or see statements from other vets in different parts of the country and they get absolutely nothing. I'm kinda waiting for a rug pull, my trans related healthcare is probably going to get yanked soon. Same token, I have a friend from back in high school who would by all rights qualify for benefits and compensation, but he refuses to try and file for it because he just doesn't want to deal with the VA. Idk, shit's fucked and I don't know exactly where things are going wrong in the larger system, but it seems to be state by state.

Pretty sure you were trying to respond to the post above mine.

Got dayum, them cum gutters!

OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GOBLIN ON THE LEFT SIDE?!!

Holy shit... My mom used to make that for us when I was a kid and my dad would call it 'shit on a shingle' and I thought he was insulting her cooking!

Bastards are enjoying the fact that he had back surgery recently and just want to make him hurt.

I think things are going to polarize and start to sort themselves out. Look at how the hogs are responding to the right wing grifters - Ben Shapenis' followers are turning on him.

Edit: please note, all of my recent predictions have been wrong.

 

I know adventurism like this would probably lead to life getting worse for all of us somehow. But I'm just feeling really jokerfied lately and want to see the hogs get scared for once. I hope if it happens again they get Musk or Theil because they're so goddamn annoying, but capping an insurance board member or majority stake holder would be pretty cool.

 

I've watched some of his and Hassan's recent debate... Dude has so much boomer internet brain worms he just gets distracted like a Labrador Retriever over completely irrelevant shit. And his political strategy just seems to be to court a moving target of voters for "for our side" as though Dems are leftist adjacent. Using 'no true leftist', 'the wokes have gone too far', crime panic, and other bullshit arguments.

Just log off dude.

 

If you ain't makin' babies, you gay af!

 

I'm becoming a bit of a cinephile, and I'd really like to experience the greatness of Soviet cinema but I don't know where to begin. Hit me with those recs!

 

Chat, is this real? hasan-ok-dude

Edit: I'm a rube - it's fake. :-(

Anyone have experience with it? Is it okay?

cognitohazard warning: discussion of South Park and animal sexual abuse.

South Park Season 2, episode 4 - Chickenlover.

This episode explains US policy, both foreign and domestic. The brief synopsis of the episode is that an eccentric children's reading bus (it's a mini library built into a school bus) driver pulls into town to promote reading and literacy. The kids check out the books and such and carry on. However, there's a commotion in town that the towns only police officer, Officer Barbrady, is dispatched to assess. He arrives on the scene of a clearly distressed hen and the local farmer explains that the chicken has been fucked. Local onlookers gasp and people ask who would do such a thing. A note was left by the perpetrator for Officer Barbrady to give him a clue. Barbrady however, only sees an incoherent missmash of letters and nervously disperses the crowd. To try to decode the message, he consults with the reading bus guy, who discovers that the officer is actually illiterate!

Later, another chicken is fucked, and another note is left. Barbrady continues to consult with his new tutor to solve the case of the serial chicken fucker, and learns to read as he goes. More chickens, more notes, repeat. Until the final clue reveals that the eccentric bus driver is the one fucking the chickens all along!! And with a crowd present for the confrontation and arrest, the reading bus guy explains "I had to fuck chickens to get you to read!!"

Clearly, the freak just wanted to fuck chickens, and since he knows this is some sick shit, be builds up an elaborate justification. This is a direct analog to US political problem solving.

If a small Latin American country wants freedom and democracy, let's bomb the shit out of them to bring them democracy.

If Jonny Q. Public living in poverty wants a good meal for him and his family, better cut food stamps so he'll get a job to feed his family!

I have to commit genocide to get you to vote for democracy!

We have to ethnically cleanse Gaza to get rid of Hamas!

So yeah, that's my half baked theory on how we're all ruled by a bunch of chicken fuckers. Not sure if the creators intended for there to be any moral of the story to be honest, I kinda just got the vibe that they wanted to write an episode about fucking chickens...

Any way, see where you can spot when politicians are using this logic, or how our news media spins US imperialism. Next time you see it, you might just mutter "bunch of goddamn chicken fuckers".

 

The local school board, county commissioners, sheriff, prosecutor, mayor, fucking everyone. All of them are chuds or q Anon freaks.

Every 4 years, like a gassy cicada, I get centrist brainworms and emerge to look at electoral politics. I am a LIB on this glorious day.

This is my analysis and forecast before I unplug from this shit till tomorrow, maybe even later. You get a blurb and a map, if you want live coverage tune into Hasan, Majority Report, Central Comity, Chapo, etc.

I picked through some polls and tuned into the vibes - I say Harris takes the electoral college, but we all lose in the end. I get the sense that Trump has been over estimated this round because of Roe v. Wade primarily. Up until a few days ago, my money was on Trump still, but the latest Iowa poll flipped my opinion. Here's my swing state takes.

NV - Harris has generally kept a small lead in the polls for the majority of the time, and I don't think many people have flipped.

AZ - Trend over the past elections have been shifting to GOP, and polling has held slightly in Trump's favor.

NC - Historical trend has been moving towards Dems, and the overall trend line of the polling this round tells me that it's flipping this time around. Trump has been campaigning his ass off there - I think his campaign sees the writing on the wall. Their governor is wildly unpopular.

IA - Des Moines Register poll - they don't seem to miss. I say IA flips this time.

WI, MI, PA - "Blue wall" holds, women voters pissed about abortion overcomes the uncommitted vote. Harris' latest speech on Gaza used some harder language that I think will pull in more of those votes. I think Puerto Rican voters are going to be a factor in PA.

GA - Back to GOP. I think the chuds are fired up and are going to turn out more than last time because of how close it was.

So, there ya go. Click the link and click on the states to flip things around if you want to make a prediction map.

Go and touch-grass, it's good for you. Death to Amerikkka. partiotism

 

What's your wild card take on the shit show?

Edit: Click on the states to flip them around.

 

I mean this in a serious way. Like, I'm so sick of the goddamn spectacle of these ghouls. They smile and lie to us with blood splattered on their faces, chanting their vacuous slogans, forming cults of personality. And every 4 years, we can't escape their names and poison words being drilled into our fucking heads from every angle. I'm tired, and sick of seeing their faces, I'm always sick of the stress of politics, but it just feels like additional screws being tightened for no discernable gain or benefit.
