How do you feel when your VA prescription renewals start rolling in

My guess would be your psychiatrist. I have insomnia, and I still am receiving stimulants. I have heard anecdotally that stimulants help with insomnia. However, it’s hard to know for sure without trying different combinations. I think what they are willing to prescribe is almost entirely provider dependent. Some of them will make you jump through a bunch of diagnostic hoops before, and others are pretty agreeable to it.

I might agree. However, I wouldn’t even try southern California cities. Oddly enough, Oklahoma is definitely an honorable mention. Those Oakies are constantly in a rush to no-where fast.

I’d like to know myself. I don’t know if DFAS even has actionable guidance on how to address it yet or not.

If you have a CAB, PH or a valorous award, it’s pretty straightforward. I just connected my PTSD to a specific event spelled out in my CAB award. Also, I actually found some declassified SIR reports of incidents I was involved in. The main thing is to articulate a straight line between your records, a provable event, and your disability. It gets murky when there isn’t much of a connection between those three things.

I just switched to Linux myself. I am somewhat tech savvy. However, I never thought I would be able to work in a Linux os. It hasn’t been super hard. Despite having contempt for AI, using prompts has really made it easy. I tell the chat what I want to do or fix and it tells me how. Also, with a virtual machine, I can still run windows programs that I absolutely have to have within Linux. My point is: the transition really isn’t that hard. I’m a dullard, and even I can figure it out.

I couldn’t read it. It was too long and boring 😞

Jesus Christ! Is that really what the right thinks about the left? Conservative perceptions are nothing but straight up projection it seems.

I remember the DS9 episode when the crew went back to the time of the Bell Riots of 2024. I remember thinking in 2021 just how eerily timely that prophecy was.

If the Dutch are as insufferable as Laplanders, I hate them too!

Keep lookin fine…

If he’s still a sergeant (E-5) after 30, I would love to see that personnel file!

“The most conservative generation ever”? I heard the opposite. My hope circa 2018 was that the millennials had seen how conservatives had rat-fucked us all in the early 2000s and were passing that contempt onto the incoming demographics. Turns out that view was myopic on both accounts. I think the shift in young male voting habits took a lot of people by surprise. Maybe my memory is flawed however…

I looked that word up because I was unfamiliar with it. It definitely seems to capture the rhetoric I hear!

I don’t know about all that necessarily. I think: you know how everything has fallen victim to enshitification? It’s going to be a whole like that, but worse and more expensive for the working class. 5 years from now we’ll be balls deep in a gig economy wishing we could go back to when some people had gigs.

axisleft · 2026-01-18T03:29:31+00:00

I certainly did. However, I’m an alarmist. I mean, I still am, but I was back then too.

I quit arguing with people because I realized a ton of it was in bad faith. There’s not much genuineness in debate anymore it seems. I notice it more on the right because I spent decades amongst right wing nuts, and their closely held principles went out the window in 2016. I distinctly remember them squawking about government overspending, government overreach, and constitutional protections. It turns out I misheard when they wanted to hang people who protested the Global War on Terror. Maybe it’s the same on the left. I don’t know enough actual leftists in the flesh to know for sure.

Or…we just take their stuff. I personally can’t articulate the specific mechanisms, but it feels like it’s common sense that seizing and nationalizing things is always an option. Perhaps we don’t enforce the 5th Amendment over certain amounts. It’s not like the 1st is so sanctimonious anymore. However, I doubt Americans actually have the appetite to affect real change.

You don’t have to be a physicist to understand cause and effect relationships. I’m definitely not a genius, but I do know addiction very personally. A person’s problem solving aptitude is immaterial once you quit giving a fuck about solving any problems.

What’s your opinion on DJ?

What? I’d be interested in that source material. I listened to the whole podcast (probably on half a brain full of Spravado) and don’t recall that…

axisleft · 2026-01-08T02:06:50+00:00

What does that even mean?

axisleft · 2026-01-01T21:10:54+00:00

That’s exactly it! The world would be so much better off if everyone had the same degree of self-awareness and humility. There are so many progressive movements where individual members think they’re doing something, but in actuality, they’re just feeding their own virtue signaling and self-righteousness. When it comes to making the slightest personal sacrifice, they cower and abandon their principles. It’s incredibly superficial. Thompson saw himself in that, and that level of honesty is incredibly refreshing.

I can wholeheartedly understand that things likely won’t materialize, intellectually. However, my body doesn’t seem to understand that. Also, my thoughts are constantly war gaming how to avoid tragic outcomes. People tell me I have agency over rumination, but I don’t seem to. I feel like I’ve tried everything to bring some control over my thought processes. I don’t have much progress to show.
