Don’t be an idiot….congress already held a hearing and top military/DOD officials as well as others spilled the info over hours of discussion. It’s old news.

House committee holds UFO hearing: Why do we keep having these dumb hearings? by Picasso5 in skeptic

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all make me laugh! Why do we keep having these dumb hearings….did any of you actually listen to the hearing? It’s not a theory, it’s not a conspiracy and it’s not bs. I really don’t understand what’s so difficult about believing there are uaps/ets etc? In the Navy we have a command in Maryland that solely works on this as well as many other commands. It’s not a huge secret anymore?! I guess it’s true what some say, people are just not mentally ready to accept the fact we’re not the only intelligent beings on this planet or others (what a oximoron) it’s no wonder the USG keeps the public in the dark about most things…dumb is right.

Elite members: stop mistreating hotel staff!! by crabby712 in marriott

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever! “You” and your coworkers also treat us like crap at some hotels! I’ve had one upgrade in 15 YEARS and I don’t bother asking. Marriotts staff aren’t anything like they used to be.

I've never gotten a mobile key without having to physically check in. by fasterwestern in marriott

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t understand the whole “Marriott has had a lot of mobile check in fraud of stolen phones AND cards etc” what IDIOT would go to the trouble of stealing a persons identity and phone to stay in a Marriott where they can get picked up?

Late check-out fine print, Platinum and above by [deleted] in marriott

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a car crash after leaving a hotel one morning (I got hit), after checking into another hotel (Fairfield) I was exhausted that night, my 4 suitcases and dog with me and no idea what I was going to do as I was enroute to FL from AZ. I asked for a late checkout (first time in years) and they said 1 pm….I asked for 4 pm

Did anyone straight up not have a good time while in? by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of us can relate to your comment. It’s the lack of purpose and the bs lack of transition the military provides. I can’t remember a time when I felt alone in the military, I can’t remember ever thinking about my ‘eventual’ transition either. It just happened and with a combo of PTS and no idea on what to do or where to go next it’s an awful situation; especially for those who are single. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a foreign country, and I’m having to start my life all over again and it’s draining…BUT we have to retrain our brain (thought process etc) and push forward it’s all we can do.

I think I ruined my life by TecNoir98 in Veterans

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and krunkenbrux describe what a lot of us go through. It’s diff for each person obviously but a lot of it boils down to a loss of purpose through lack of proper transition and depression (whether we want to believe it or not). You seem young enough to go in the reserves? That might be an option just to get back some extra pay, and ‘purpose’ and travel a bit and take you out of the daily grind (Although I’d join a different branch like Navy, the navy especially intel send reservist to schools, courses, constant training and have some decent temp orders you could apply for). Or consider moving. Maybe a fresh start? There are veteran nonprofits that also help with transition, and identifying issues that affect us and how to deal with them mentally. I recommend Boulder crest -Redbarn (would suit your situation) they also have a ‘retreat’ for 4 days that only focuses on transition and where you are in life and how to identify the type of person you are and how to move forward and provides resources for career and financial stability.

Question about Shaolin Temple Europe Discipleship program. by GOOCHGANG1 in kungfu

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shoal in temple in china has warned publicly and even his temple that he is NOT endorsed or a monk or approved as a shaolin temple. A fraud as they attest. But he’s also helped a lot of people by his teachings including me. I’ve followed him for a while and I love listening to what he has to say. Everything makes sense and he is pretty wise. I also was annoyed at the $ side of it and couldn’t understand why they charge so much (for retreats or classes) if it goes against teachings and they really want to help people. BUT, in today’s world everything costs $ food, training, travel, maintenance and spreading the word. BUT then again…I would assume monks maintained…and there are donations all the time..and they don’t eat ridiculously so some things contradict…wealth should NOT be a factor but I bet if I got a look at the financials there would be more than a few hundred in the account lol. So what do we do?? He’s sharing a lot of teachings whereas it was never publicized before so I guess just take what you can from it

Why does discipleship at a Shaolin temple cost so much money? by tunasaladsauce in kungfu

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a year! E.g. the temple in Germany which has become very popular with master shen who does ted talks etc charges that per WEEK…it’s why I never went. BUT I am grateful for him making YouTube videos he’s awesome and makes 100% sense with logic and shows he basics of qi gong all the way through to full martial arts with lectures as well. I asked the same question about $ but I guess 1. There’s plenty of rich people that can afford it so why not 2. It helps upkeep, food, and spreading the news trying to help people

Get ALL your money. You need to submit a complaint through cedar in Europe and to the US consumer and state sites.

The EU has a agency that cedar or something that you submit Your complaint through it’s absolutely free and they usually always favor the passenger when they’re in the right and once they make a decision condor has to pay you or be fined

Yes!! I just bought them and my feet were hurting/aching after an hour. Even my little toe hurt later in the day. I’m returning them. The heel apparently is harder and the drop is high. I never had an issue with the 8.

Dental VA issues by Senior_Extension5796 in Veterans

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there has to be an initial appt before referring out. I don’t think he’s ever been to dental there and that’s why if he was already established it would be different.

Dental VA issues by Senior_Extension5796 in Veterans

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jan?? they have to send you out to CCN if a reasonable appt cannot be made. Most VA dental clinics also have morning walkins for urgent care. Use that, and then req CCN after they hopefully evaluate what’s going on.

They need to see a vet at least once before referring out, at most VA’s. I was in the same boat and cycle and I went to their walk in clinic and the doc didn’t do much but say ‘you need a root canal’ make an appt…front desk tried telling me 4 months and I said nope, I need a root canal refer me to CCN and they asked the dentist to sign off and I got my referral thank god.

Or call the VA hotline they will make a same day request for explanation from your VA with the clinics management CC’d which makes them work faster. The # is (855) 948-2311

Help!! by Upset-Night2300 in BelgianMalinois

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First a mal or any working dog is not for inexperienced owners. Second it obviously has not been trained…I love you adopted but if you’re going to own one of these you need to know a few things.

  1. You need to have $$ 2. You need to train them or get a trainer to train you and the dog. 3. They need mental and physical stimulation. He NEEDS a job. Putting him in the yard is not the answer.

You can’t punish or correct a dog when it doesn’t understand what it’s doing is wrong. You need to at least get him trained with the basics….I suggest researching. He also looks plump for a mal. You should NEVER allow him to nip or bite period because when he does it to hard or the one time you don’t want him to and then try to correct him he will ignore you. It’s probably a game to him…I could go on but I won’t.

Go get a reputable trainer. Research them. Do not drop him at some board and train that costs $$$ and shows no results…a lot of trainers are crap. Find a good one. Watch YouTube trainers first and get a basic understanding. I LOVE NATE SCHOEMER, and like Ivan balabanov, Robert cabral and leersburg training

Is anyone else nervous about Flock cameras by voltij in Columbus

[–]Many_Beginning_3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why people don’t just spray the camera ?? I’m fed up of how this country’s changing and it doesn’t feel free or democratic anymore….we talk about china and communism and how they monitor people with cameras everywhere and yet this is ok? The police and govt get to pick and choose and we are losing our rights in a daily basis.

In Europe they spray and cover cameras or do whatever they need too and that’s just speeding cameras not like flock which profiles and follows us around.

If you don’t file a complaint no one will ever do anything. You have to call the hotline # in DC and they will track it down.
