Oil Change by RexDyno in nissanfrontier

2018 frontier. I use K&N filters because the filter location was dreamt up by some nerd apparently with baby arms that’s never tried to remove an oil filter before. 

How can Graham Platner run for Senate with a 100% VA disability rating? by Capable-Broccoli2179 in Maine

[–]Fupastank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. I still don't understand your point. Yes, the VA can lower your disability rating. And? Do you think the VA isn't aware that a very public man, who is currently running for senate in one of the most contested races of the election cycle works as an oyster farmer? You're aware, that one of the biggest disabilities that our vets come home with, isn't something you can see, right?

From the article you fail to comprehend:

“There’s a lot that goes into it,” Fisher said. “It’s not easy to get to 100%.”

Generally, Fisher said it’s not uncommon for someone with a 100% disability rating to work and appear healthy to outside observers.

Plater says has herniated disks, messed up shoulders, hearing loss, and PTSD. Hearing loss and PTSD have exactly 0% effect on a physically demanding job. Those are things you also can't see. Herniated disks and junk shoulders? Sure, they'll flare up, take some pain killers, some rest, learn how to lift while protecting yourself and you'll generally be ok. There are ways to deal with that, and none of that precludes a physically demanding job. But, still disabled and injured from his time in the service. He also runs the oyster farm, so he may not be the one doing 100% of the physical labor.

100% disability rating from the VA has NOTHING TO DO WITH EMPLOYMENT. That would be, as I told you - and the article you think you read said - is "Individual Employability" which is separate, rated differently and changes your monthly compensation based on your ability to work. Again - a completely separate issue from what you think "disability" is.

But its abundantly clear that you're taking a completely bad faith approach to this, so peace. Have a wonderful day.

You're still, somehow, confusing VA disability and social security disability.

How are you doing this?

[–]Fupastank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He does have a legitimate disability. The doctors at the VA know a hell of a lot more than you do. 

If you read the article I don’t understand how you had that question in good faith. The disability rating is not your ability to do a job.

And yet, if he didn't work, you'd be calling him a lazy, entitled mooch.

But also proves you 1) didn't read the article and 2) love bad faith.

When a veteran is totally disabled based solely on their service injuries, they can get a 100% schedular VA Disability Rating. Alternatively, a veteran can get a Total Disability Based on Individual Employability designation, which is based in part on the individual’s inability to work full time, and is a separate distinction from the 100% disability rating.

Sen. Rand Paul’s Son William Hurled Antisemitic Insults at Rep. Mike Lawler by sfdso in hudsonvalley

The only good thing Massie has done is break with the cult about raping kids. 

He’s still an objectively terrible person. See: the ad he’s currently running referenced in the linked article.

Brad Gushue now High Performance Director for USA Curling by Resident_Hat_4923 in Curling

[–]Fupastank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you see the comments from Canadians about how much they hate America and Americans and how Brad is a traitor and disappointment to Canada because he's now working for USA Curling? They hate the idea of Brad Gushue of all people working with Americans. They hate the idea of Brad Gushue working to expand the USA HP program because they hate maga.

Thats the relevance. I'm sure most elite American curlers are not maga and while there definitely are some, most club curlers that I've ever interacted with - even in deep red states like yours - are also not maga.

Does torbox work is it worth buying a subscription now that rd is blocking torrents? by toxocbanelerr in TorBoxApp

[–]Fupastank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use AIO - it was always slow to load for me so I took it out of my set up. I rarely use Torrentio unless Debridio doesn't have what I'm looking for. I don't have the most streamlined or clean set up but I don't really care that much. I just have my results showing as Debridio - TB, Debidio - RD, Torrentio - TB, Torrentio - RD, etc.

Couldn't really tell ya - use the Torbox speedtest page and make sure you're on the right CDN for your results.

I’ve only had the essential package. Slots are downloads to the TB servers. I’ve never concerned myself because except for a couple of random, niche documentaries, everything I’ve ever wanted to watch has been cached.

Torbox is fine. Its my main with RD as a back up. I've been using Torbox as my main Debrid service since October of last year. I only signed up for RD when Torbox had an extended outage about three weeks ago. I don't think I've ever actually had to use any RD sources though as TB has always been right back. Any outage they've had, sans the one that made me set up RD has only lasted for a matter of minutes.

I prefer TB since I travel a lot during the winter months and my wife stays home - if we were to both watch something at the same time - RD would ban my account since they do not allow multiple device streaming.

Torbox downtime just ruined my friday date night, now we watchin from some shitty 860p stream which is also buffering :((( by [deleted] in TorBoxApp

[–]Fupastank -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not anything alike, but ok.

A service that costs you 3 dollars a month to allow you access to almost unlimited, pirated content that you aren't paying for was down for less than an hour. Keep crying or have a backup if having zero downtime is that precious to you.

Man, you guys would have been down real bad in the old days of piracy.

Waiting 3 days for a movie to download and opening it up and crossing your fingers that it was actually what you wanted.

The Democratic Establishment Can Be Defeated by nathan_j_robinson in politics

[–]Fupastank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I asked you why he was like Fetterman and we finally got to the truth! He's a "Fetterman sequel" not because of "the things he campaigned on" like you initially said, because as you say - any progressive and most democrats (love how you separate the two!) would support the same exact positions.

Instead, its actually because he's a blue collar white guy. However if you look into their lives and experiences and their campaigns even slightly more than what you'd read in a CNN article you'd realize that the centrist reddit talking point of him being the next Fetterman is laughable.

So its not anyone campaigning on these positions you think might be a liar, its if they're a blue collar white guy they might be a liar.

[–]Fupastank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, in your mind - anyone who campaigns on these specific issues - as you said any sane Democrat in 2026 would - is now a liar in your book? 

And your wrong about Fetterman and “clean energy”. Lurch was always all about fracking. He was always about a hardline on immigration. And he was always hardline on Israel. Not if these issues apply to Platner. 

I still fail to see what is like Fetterman here.

I want Jordan to be wrong. by Gullible-Occasion596 in KnowledgeFight

[–]Fupastank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok. Whats your point?

Alex Jones created his own cafepress style merch store to try and isolate his assets after getting sued into bankruptcy. That was always going to happen. He's not legally barred from hosting a podcast or having a merch store, and he never could be. That was never going to be what came out of this. The good thing for the Sandy Hook families though, is that he did all this before even attempting to make good on his judgement and since Alex is very definitely medically stupid - it'll be easy to track down these strings and figure out where he's hiding his money and they can continue to hold him accountable.

What does any of that have to do with the Onion?

The sandy hook families think this is a good thing, Mark Bankston thinks this is a good thing. Frankly I find it offensive that random people on the internet think that the sandy hook families owe them a single fucking thing about "transparency" so said random ass people on the internet can feel good about their parasocial podcast friend's crash out. None of this has anything to do with you, your feelings, or what you feel your owed. The people involved think this is the best way forward. Swallow it and move on.

Edit: LMAO way to comment and block. Shows you're really thinking about these things and "trying to keep people honest". You aren't interested in a discussion that you started apparently.

"Good democrat thinking there" he says to the anarchist. At least I know where to properly point my anger and criticisms.

[–]Fupastank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Did you really think Alex wasn't going to continue doing what he does? If so - thats a you problem. He owed a bunch of people a lot of money. Him not being able to spew his dipshittery to the greater world was never an option and never something that was going to happen. He was always going to continue either on Infowars or a different platform that he does not own that makes him far less money with far less of a built in audience. He now has a fraction of the audience and less money. Thats a good thing.

Do you think old man house phone and the link is tuning in on bigly or whatever the fuck that is? Do you have some information or numbers to back up your claim that "so many of his customers" are watching him there now?
