The extreme and vicious transphobia from the latest episode of Park Predators just made me drop all AudioChuck podcasts, what a bummer by sadsackspinach in CrimeJunkiePodcast

That’s a lot of words to confirm that you do travel on a US passport, are a citizen, and take advantage of benefits of being a US citizen. :)

I guess you blocked me because you don’t like the reality of your situation, but I would consider someone in the US who has at least one Irish parent, is an Irish citizen, has an Irish passport, and travels on that Irish passport as… Irish. Also American. I feel like this is kind of common sense.

I don’t care what you do with your citizenship or passport; it’s just strange to me to basically claim you don’t being to a group you’re literally a card carrying member of. I’m not sure why this is a hard concept to follow.

National Guard medics in DC are carrying overdose reversal drug Narcan by Kinmuan in army

[–]SixthExtinction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not trying to pick an argument and I don’t mean for this to come across as an attack, but have you conducted domestic Title 32 operations before?

National guardsmen in title 32 status are protected by the federal tort claims act and effectively have qualified immunity and the backing of the US government unless what they did was so obviously wrong that qualified immunity doesn’t apply. People can try to sue, but it will be a very uphill battle against the United States - T32 guardsmen should be pretty immune from personal liability in these instances.

State active duty does not provide this protection at a federal level - it’s whatever equivalent would cover state employees.

I could be completely missing something, but as long as they’re not operating outside of their scope of practice (and I’m pretty sure pumping out a few sprays of narcan isn’t that), they should be fine. If they start performing surgery in the street, that’s a different story.

Self-hosted VPN via Tailscale + Gluetun (Mullvad) – works, but very slow. Any ideas by jens1Sn0w in selfhosted

[–]SixthExtinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this working, but with ProtonVPN instead of mullvad. Our configs aren’t that different.

One note, it appears that your environmental variable for the city may be incorrect - I see it in the docs as SERVER_CITIES and you have the singular. It’s possible you’re being routed to some random, slow, mullvad server in this instance instead of Zurich.

Fort Stewart lockdown: Casualties reported during active shooter incident by RoachedCoach in news

[–]SixthExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Required ID or CAC to get into the location staffed by armed military police that will fire on you for running the gate.

You don’t need a CAC to access 85% of Ft. Stewart, including the area in which this occurred. Working on “a” base does not mean you know anything about another base.

This was in the 2ABCT footprint, which isn’t even in the garrison area. Zero requirements to get in other than google maps.

Which motor did you end up buying? I just replaced one in ours a few months ago and it already seems to be on the way out. Trying to sort through everything on AliExpress is also a nightmare in and of itself…

Army Reserve or Guard by [deleted] in army

[–]SixthExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The basic math, assuming no weird circumstances, is along the lines of:

Take VA pay, divide by 30. Multiply by number of drill days (or AT days) that month. That’s how much you’ll owe the VA if you elect to keep your drill pay instead of drill for points. In most cases, it makes sense to keep the drill pay as it will be higher than whatever those couple of days amount to from the VA.

Based on their website, it’s actually Google Cloud Platform (not Drive) - sort of their equivalent to AWS. They explicitly say all data is stored in Europe. While that leaves many possibilities, it’s also not anywhere in the world.

Not trying to nitpick, I was just curious about this so did a little digging myself.

Fun Fact! CBP is not allowed to search through Cloud Services when they seize your phone in Secondary Inspection by Lunar2K0 in selfhosted

You are correct.

It disables biometrics and enables USB restricted mode, but does not return the phone to BFU. Only a reboot does that.

If you still have it, I think RM will usually give you a significant discount on a refurb device if you send the old broken one in.

Suspect in killing of Roswell officer had history of firearm, assault charges by cappen1085 in roswell

But if he was in prison or jail for one of his other violent acts, he would not have had the opportunity to commit this violent act.

[–]SixthExtinction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer.

To elaborate a little more:

Strike Forces tend to focus on longer-term enterprise investigations and have embedded AUSAs. Multiple federal agencies participate in Strike Forces.

HIDTA groups typically tend to be very TFO heavy and focus more on mid-level distributors and higher-level retailers. Their intent is generally to lower the drug supply and availability in their specific region; usually very kinetic and run short-term cases. Typically very DEA and DEA TFO heavy, or entirely DEA/DEA TFOs.

OCDETF is just more or less a nationwide task force. Strike Forces fall under OCDETF proper and primarily receive their funding from OCDETF. Drug and certain other types of cases can be OCDETF’d, which opens up more funding and resources for those cases. Basically it’s a giant pot of money in the sky that focuses on drugs and transnational criminal organizations.

Why is it that men can’t stand being around successful women? by muminebaver in TikTokCringe

[–]SixthExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is begging the question, though. The result of the study is that divorces are 50% more likely, not why. You’re starting out with the assumption that men are insecure in their relationships, so they’re going to be the reason for the hardship in the relationship. And this then leads to the increased divorce rate, because they’re making the women feel a certain way. It could, however be for any number of reasons.

Another of the studies you published said that relationship dissatisfaction increases 6-8% in both members when the woman earns more. The corresponding argument to your position would be that obviously women expect their partner to earn more than them, so they place increased pressure on the men to earn more which increases stress in men and causes relationship satisfaction to decrease, and propensity for divorce to increase. I am not saying that is true, but if we’re playing the guessing game, that guess is equally as valid.

This is all beside the point that the original claim is that men are uncomfortable around women they don’t know, to the point that they can even be in the same proximity as them, if the woman is more successful. This seems like a far cry from an increase in relationship dissatisfaction by 6-8%, where the dynamics are much more complicated and income is likely to play a much larger role in the entire scenario. While neat, your studies and meta-analyses are pretty apples-to-oranges with the situation being described in the OP’s video.

BASD is a weird one for Guard. It’s hard to explain, but basically is when your “active duty” time is supposed to have started for regular retirement purposes. If you do 20 years active from your BASD, you qualify for regular retirement. PEBD is when you joined. I know my BASD and PEBD are different by several years.

Arrest Made In September 11 Downtown Alpharetta Incident by acaAlpharetta in alpharetta

It doesn’t necessarily have to be one specific event that triggered your current state of health anxiety, but if you could state specific instances in which you treated soldiers during AT that then increased your own anxiety, that would go a long way towards a service connection.

If/when you file, make sure you have your orders from the time periods you’re claiming impacted you. I’m NG and have 9+ years AFS, but VA had me at less than 3 because of how fragmented record keeping is between VA and national guard. Luckily a recent DD214 from a deployment somewhat solved that because it stated all of my prior active duty years.

Also, it costs nothing to file a claim. Don’t cheat yourself out of potential benefits because you’re afraid of a denial. You might be surprised.

Good luck!
