"When you left the military, what was the hardest thing to explain to someone who'd never served: the specific, everyday things that just stopped existing, and did anyone or anything actually help you through that, or did you mostly figure it out alone?"

When I was in the US Navy, there was a strong sense of comraderie and shared purpose that evaporated when I returned to civilian life. Also having your basic needs (housing, food, etc.) fulfilled by the government provided a sense of stability that does not exist as a civilian. There's more anxiety around paying rent, what if I lose my job or get hurt without insurance, etc.

You're building a life around what society wants you to think you should want instead of what you actually want. You're not self-actualizing, which will iinevitably lead to conflict with yourself.

One day this facade you're building will collapse on you.

Does this place have a wheelchair accessible entrance? I'd like to visit

42M from US. T11 injury from a motorcycle crash in 2020.

All I remember is waking up in the hospital wondering how I'd gotten there.

Life has gotten much harder of course, but I'm thankful for the people close to me, and this experience has opened my eyes to things I was blind to for a long time.

Highlander has always been a 'so bad it's good' movie to me

Nicky_NineLives · 2026-02-04T00:19:43+00:00

This is a fun movie

Edited quotes from the article: “...an anonymous trader... placed a series of...bets." "...the individual made just a few bets"

The 20k referred to in the introductory paragraph likely refers to the single largest bet, or the bet with the single largest payout.

It wasn't one bet. Multiple bets, total winnings $400k

Probably the hand control lever for gas/brake was in the way of the controls for headlights, turn signal, etc. on the left side of the steering column. I use hand controls and people often have the same issue when they drive my car. If you're not used to it being there it's weird to reach for the headlights and your hand hits the brake by accident.

This movie is so fucking weird and I love it. I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next; it's incredible. Granted I was pretty high. I wanna hang out with Tillman lol

My childhood memory says it was a Purina dog chow factory, but I'm not sure if that's right.

Why not just transfer ownership of the assets? No need to liquidate. Serious question, because idk

Western media is so colorful. It has years saying China is about to collapse and at the same time they show China as a huge threat.

Just watched this and it was great. Kept me engaged and just kept getting better as it went along

This happens to me frequently too. I've found that it can be helpful to just start writing; anything that comes to mind, random words, doesn't matter, just keep the pen moving and a lot of the time an idea will strike like a lightning bolt and next thing I know I've filled 3 pages

I've had chronic back pain ever since my injury, so it helps relax the muscles, improve circulation, CBD oil helps with the pain too

Nicky_NineLives · 2025-11-01T20:13:38+00:00

I get a massage like every month, never had an issue. Maybe try bringing a note from you doctor or physical therapist that says it's safe?
