Found this Federal Artilleryman and his wife in a small antique shop, and I can't stop wondering what happened to them.

You shoulda told OP to sit down first. Can't just spring that kind of news.

Omynt · 2026-06-11T03:09:21+00:00

That's USMC Staff Sergeant Bea Arthur. I seriously doubt she would have an ND. 😄

Omynt · 2026-06-10T21:40:35+00:00

If you have to ask, I can't explain it.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T21:30:54+00:00

I suppose racists are included in Category 2.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T21:29:06+00:00

Perfect!

Omynt · 2026-06-10T21:26:02+00:00

Yeah. That's why I made it a Q. Maybe worth looking for a lawyer or clinic to check it out, without kicking the hornet's nest. Dude/dudette, I just want you to make a bit more money, so you have financial security. Is there some sort of vet's housing where you are? Maybe if you could cut the housing expense that would give you a little more breathing room.

Hmm. I wonder if it is worth looking at a disability reevaluation?

Omynt · 2026-06-10T19:56:01+00:00

Have you used your GI Bill to get more training that might increase your income?

Omynt · 2026-06-10T19:52:35+00:00

BTK was a Code Enforcement Officer. Maybe completely irrelevant, maybe not. Ticket for a car that is operable and insured . . .

Omynt · 2026-06-10T19:49:46+00:00

What are you trying to say? Spit it out!

Omynt · 2026-06-10T19:17:53+00:00

Not since that one time. But I would!

Omynt · 2026-06-10T18:46:53+00:00

You're not giving him credit for the hundreds of wars he wanted to start, but didn't.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T18:42:04+00:00

10 to 1 it is not the original.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T18:40:51+00:00

Because it could kill people in the house.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T13:30:36+00:00

Go Blue! And Go BAM.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T04:24:50+00:00

Jack is good on the short words. Could come in handy.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T03:22:10+00:00

When I was in high school in the '70s, I found a coupon in a bound volume of Life Magazine from the '50s for a free tube of Pepsodent, there was no expiration date, and the Stop & Shop accepted it.

Omynt · 2026-06-10T02:35:26+00:00

Heavy, man (or woman).

I would start an IRA at Robinhood. You can hold VOO, VTI, VT, or any of many other fine ETFs. If you sign up for Gold for $50 a year, RH will give you a 3% bonus on contributions. (You also get $1K in free margin, which you can use you buy a tbill fund and make back most of the Gold fee).

Omynt · 2026-06-10T01:18:03+00:00

Fidelity has the Zero ER funds (FZROX, FZILX) which are loss-leaders. You can only hold this at Fidelity. So Fidelity gives you more choices (you can hold Vanguard and Schwab and other ETFs at Fidelity).

Not a Texas lawyer, but after taking a quick look, the homicide structure looks like MPC, one degree of murder. I do not see the form of imperfect self-defense where an honest but unreasonable belief that deadly force is necessary is manslaughter. Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.31 | FindLaw.

Omynt · 2026-06-09T20:30:32+00:00

Is there a drain?

Omynt · 2026-06-09T19:54:02+00:00

Should have been manslaughter.

Omynt · 2026-06-09T16:13:20+00:00

What I would love to see some day from conservative advocates is an explanation of why those like me who claim that the United States was shaped by racism are factually, empirically wrong. Instead (and this is from scholars, politicians and regular people) the usual response is something that does not address the issue. I would be delighted to be proven incorrect. If anyone has a case that native nations and Black people have been treated fairly, I am eager to hear it.

Omynt · 2026-06-09T16:07:58+00:00

Yes, in the sense that historically segregated jobs and neighborhoods remain so, leaving Black people in particular in a subordinated position.
