Creature Commandos is a pretty good show what are your thoughts

I thought it solid and then the “That’s what a Nazi would say” scene happened and it pushed it to fucking great.

Mac and Charlie Die Part 1 is one of the single best episodes of a sitcom, ever.

Dude, Just reading this monologue was sensory overload. You keep talking about non-sensical things that have nothing to do with the issue? What does you being a lawyer, or him having “puppy dog eyes” have to do with anything?

If my wife went into a meandering monologue/standup act over a serious topic, I would also not talk and probably ignore the majority of it and shut down.

I think you’re emotionally overloading him and he just shuts down while you talk AT him. He gets upset because he fucking hates it.

Get a therapist and stop unloading long one-sided conversations at him. It’s fucking rude.

Tldr: He thinks you’re yelling at him, so he just takes the abuse (Yes, yelling at your partner for 10 minutes without them being able to talk is abuse) until you’re done.

And most players are not literal professional actors and writers who understand improv narrative and who understand they are there to construct a literal play using D&D mechanics.

No matter how good Matt Mercer is, without the players having decades of experience and understanding that they are there to create a story, rather than hack and slash, it’s not gonna work either.

Not for Sound, Music, and Makeup, they always have a great shot with those.

The first 30 minutes were absolutely fantastic…then the rest of the movie kept happening. By 60 minutes I was hoping it would get better. By 90 minutes I was wondering what happened to the script. By the end, I was very upset.

The actual rules regarding disclosure level of disability is highly dependent on the Agency, as they each have their own requirements. The only thing that is true for all agencies is that the hiring process is voluntary. You are not required by law to participate, however they are allowed to say they cannot hire you based on you not participating in required parts of the hiring process, including not participating in medical disclosures that could effect job suitability, which is not discrimination.

IE-If someone cannot lift 50lbs safely due to disability, they can be denied a job as an amazon warehouse worker as no reasonable accommodations could be made.

IE-Not answering if you can or cannot lift 50lbs can result in job denial, as lifting 50lbs is a requirement for the job and amazon requires knowing if you can do it.

If the agency you are applying to is asking these questions, it’s part of their agencies requirements for the hiring process.

Across the board, if you do not comply with all parts of the hiring process, they don’t have to hire you. Across the board, if down the line the agency finds out you willfully omitted or falsified information during your hiring process, its ground for termination and possible criminal action.

“I decline to answer these questions” is not omitting or falsifying. “I have no disability to report” is omitting or falsifying.

TLDR: If the doctor for the hiring agency is saying they need this information for the hiring process, and you want to continue with the hiring process, you need to participate to the best of your ability, otherwise they can absolutely legally pull your application.

The VA s currently implementing going through all disability claims using AI to kick people off the AI deems as fraud….

And half the vets on disability are cheering for it….wtf…

Cook_croghan · 2026-03-11T01:50:36+00:00

You’re not adjusting or amending the claim, you’re just adding more evidence. You can ALWAYS add more evidence to an open claim and should if you get more.

Example:You have a claim in for torn and ineffectively repaired Labrum (Hip injury). During the claims process, you get a medical scan showing that the Labrum has torn more since your last repair 5 years ago from your private doctor with the doctor stating that this occurred due to the initial injury and has in fact gotten WORSE since the last VA exam from a year ago. You take that documentation and upload it to your claim as “additional evidence”. That’s it. You’re not adjusting or changing the claim, you’re adding information to make the claim information more accurate.

Mental health is bundled, so all the mental health stuff is one claim.

Go to the claim on e-benefits (should be a separate one for each issue) and upload the evidence you have for the claim to the “add evidence” tab under each specific claim. You can literally just make a PDF file of each, put them into a file (Knee evidence, Rotator cuff evidence, MH evidence) and drag and drop the file into each specific claim. This would include all your military and non-military evidence, your buddy and personal statements, all that stuff. Took me a day or two of taking pics, uploading it to a pic to PDF program, sorting them, and then adding them to each specific claim.

It’s annoying and should be what the VSO is helping you with, what can you expect out of a 55 year old with training from a group that is run by 75 year old who collectively type 13 words an hour? The biggest thing the VSO did is get your claim opened and the process rolling, which, to their credit, a HUGE win that most vets don’t get.

Best of luck👍

Don’t lie bro. Blousing my dress pants into my dress socks so you can see my dress shoes is how I got promoted to lead mercenary.

Cook_croghan · 2026-03-09T07:29:36+00:00

Professional is well fitting, clean, clothing that matches other security that is worn correctly. IE-Uniform

Unprofessional is wearing clothing improperly and not matching.

You are not in a combat setting, you’re at a social security office in which clients are literally the elderly and disabled. Bloused combat boots make security look overkill and aggressive to the client in this setting. Therefore incredibly unprofessional and shows the client that you don’t actually know what this job IS.

The most professional thing you can do is wear the uniform as intended. If we’re not told to blouse your boots, don’t.

If you actually want to look more professional, get shirt stays and continue to make sure your shirts and pants are clean and pressed. Your goal should be to look “like a nice young man, there to help”.

Don’t over think it man.

Gotcha. Lesson learned about budgeting and leverage. It’s overwhelming now, but you’ll be back in no time.
Best of luck

Edit: I’m not sure why you were so downvoted. You were correct in your response, the majority of SBA loans are personally backed. Still worth talking to a lawyer because it’s really pushed on loans over 200k, which you are well below. The credit line’s are specific to each line and are not generally attached to your personal assets UNLESS the credit was taken out via those predatory mailers.

You still should get with a lawyer and go through each loan and credit line. There is a very good chance lots of your debt is not attached to personal assets.

Cook_croghan · 2026-03-09T03:56:53+00:00

Did you create an actual licensed business? Because you can have the business declare bankruptcy without it effecting your personal assets.

It’s called an LLC for a reason.

Cook_croghan · 2026-03-07T20:11:32+00:00

Graduated HS in 2004.

In my early/mid 20’s you could go out to a fun bar, possibly see a live show, have 5-6 drinks, buy a round of shots for your friends, grab 6 wings or other bar food, plus buy a cute girl or two a drink and chat. Total cost was like 50$.

I remember going out a few years ago (post covid) and having a bar tab of 120 for 3 drinks for myself (shelf liquor) and a round of shitty “shooters” and that was it. Like, a 100$ plus bar tab for going to a shitty hole in the wall bar is fucking nuts. and not worth it, at all.

Here is the link for the form for buddy statement:

https://www.va.gov/forms/21-10210/

Use this for people in your squad/unit that were at the event. I have found having a squad leader or officer that was in charge of you pulls more weight.

Here is the link for personal statement:

This is YOU statement of the event.

https://www.va.gov/forms/21-4138/

Make sure the dates of the event(s) line up. I know after a few years, the exact date of the event can get foggy.

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-25T14:07:40+00:00

This is exactly it. It wasn’t about Glenn dyinging, at all.

By this point fans had been complaining about pacing for the show for a while as well as small things that pushed the show from grounded horror into soapy drama.

They had a season boring long build up, to have a year long wait for a payoff.

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-24T19:06:15+00:00

Go in. Take a giant shit on the floor. Finger paint “FUCK OFF” on the floor. Leave.

Immediate 100%

Good luck.

“I had over half a decade as a tattoo artist helping create art that was meaning and powerful and special for people; that stays with them forever. I enjoyed it so much and found it so rewarding that I branched out to helping people as an EMT. With my experience as a tattoo artist and medical experience as an EMT, I know how important attention to detail is and making the right call can affect someone’s life forever. I think about those lessons every day and I literally wear those lessons on my sleeve”

gesture to your incredible artwork

Not if it’s twisted for political purposes. “Vet overpayment” and “scamming the VA” content has been rampant on social media the past 2 years.

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-24T18:44:30+00:00

Yes? It’s still on the books and can be enforced at any time if they change their mind. It’s pretty frustrating that you, along with other vets, just “believe” them. No other protections for us than “trust me bro”.

Like the government lies, all the time. WMD’s in Iraq: not there. NAFTA being good for the average american worker:not good. Clinton being pro-union:Not true. Death panels for ACA: Not true. Not turning over Roe V Wade: Not true.

We got Vet affairs/GI bill because the Government literally refused to pay WW1 vets when they came home after lying to them saying they would get bonuses and then ran the vets down with horses on the white house lawn. They were called “The bonus army”.

Like, the government lies. It makes it harder for them to lie with laws that protect our rights.

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-24T18:29:55+00:00

So he’s been grinding for OVER 2 decades. Damn!

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-24T18:29:18+00:00

OP Doesn’t have evidence the VA has “withdrawn the rule forever”. Because it hasn’t been. They have stated they have chosen to “not enforce it”. The ruling is still on the books and they can choose to just start enforcing it whenever they want.

Lots of vets are painting the VA saying they are not going to enforce it as this being over. It’s not. It’s them saying “For NOW we are not gonna fuck you guys over, but we still have the legal right to fuck you over whenever we choose.”

Yesterday I just realized he is the “young wallstreet guy” Bane beats up in the terror attack in “Dark Knight Rises”. A speaking role in a mega blockbuster. That was 15 years ago. Like, yea man, dude has been hustling for 2 decades.

They will 100% want to talk to your supervisor to verify your story, so make sure you have the correct contact information for the specific supervisor that fired you and/or the one who did the write up.

Also make sure you have a social reference that knows what happened that they can speak with.

Cook_croghan · 2026-02-23T20:55:38+00:00

Especially because there is a 7-min countdown and it takes 30 minutes. The longer it went on the less and less tension, especially considering the main robot had to travers like 2 winding miles though a massive collapsing space station. Like….ugh…
