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.
