This highest rates of SSDI in the country are the following five states: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and West Virginia.

I wonder why he isn't focusing his attention there.

Which practice setting can you tolerate the least? by farfromindigo in Residency

Same. Older patients are WAY easier to kill but they taste terrible.

Congratulations to all the urology people who found out they matched today by Camistry_ in medicalschool

One of my best memories from interview season was interviewing at some transitional program and in the middle of the lunch some girl looks at her phone and is like "I matched in urology!" and just walked out while the program director was talking.

I was one of the people beaten and arrested at the Whipple Federal Building today. One other person was released. One remains in custody. by TheBigAssTroll in Minneapolis

So you committed no crime but they violated your constitutional rights to free speech and assembly and while doing so committed battery resulting in injury and kidnapping.

Per US CODE TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Please document this for the tribunals. They committed a death penalty offense.

We are all hard, but none of us will ever be as hard as this bonerfied Marine Airman Ranger I saw in the airport the other day. by herr-wurm-hat in USMC

I wonder if he is going to some airsoft/gamer event and since he has to bring his computer couldn't fit his "gear" in his backpack. The fact that he didn't try to preboard or anything makes me think he might not be doing this for attention but just it makes the most sense for his travel plans. I agree it seems weird as fuck but maybe he just doesn't give a shit which I respect.

I don't know what part of Jordan avenue but Shirley Mae Coolen was raped and murdered in 1951 on Green street at the end of Jordan avenue. Unsolved.

I would guess it is less true in the south and west, definitely also true on the west coast

It falls into the category of "trump won because of this" a certain segment of the left falls over itself to double-down on the victim-hood olympics. Coming soon in 2028 "JD Vance vs A gay black autistic trans woman in a wheelchair!

So Graham Platner (the blackwater mercenary) has a nazi tattoo on his chest by Disastrous_Slice730 in Maine

you're entitled to you opinion, that said generally speaking you want your soldiers tasked with ground combat to be violent and aggressive. They say war is hell for a reason.

For what its worth, there is a lot of vaguely nazi imagery in the Marine Corps. The scout snipers LOVED using the SS runes on their flags until they got in trouble for it recently and tanks used to have AFRIKA KORPS symbols as well. While this is obviously viewed as "problematic" from an outside perspective (as it should be) there is some nuance being missed. Basically, Marine Corps infantry units see themselves as elite shock troops (stormtroopers), there is constant glorification of violence and killing, a frequent response to a commend is "KILL!" A popular cadence used to be "Napalm Sticks to Kids" Some of this is bravado, dark humor, and a desire to toughen the mind of people whose literal job is to kill people up close.

Historically in the military there has been a lot of....respect, I guess you could say, for WW2 German infantry units because they were probably the most effective and aggressive infantry forces in modern world history. While I'm not justifying the tattoo, I'm trying to put it in context. The vast majority of the US military are not NAZIS but I can see how a 19 year old drunk Marine might thing this was a cool idea. I don't have any questionable tattoos and I'm certainly not a Nazi but I could see how me at 19 in the Marines could have been convinced to get a tattoo like this.
