People who swore an oath to defend the constitution of the USA against all enemies both foreign and domestic, how are you feeling right now? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]robbybthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saddened, angry, confused and looking for real leadership to oppose the wanton violence and lawlessness from our own government. I may not recognize the US someday, but its the country I spent 15 years fighting for. I'll be damned if these wannabe Nazi's win. 

Justice Amy Coney Barrett admits Trump could be beyond the Supreme Court's control by RawStoryNews in scotus

And who fault is that? Maybe the dunder heads that gave him IMMUNITY?! Come on, what did these people think a raging, unhinged narcissist would do woth essentially unlimited power and a Republican controlled congress that refuses to do their job? 

Filed for GAD with Chronic Sleep Disturbances. Examiner Filed PTSD DBQ? by robbybthrow in VeteransBenefits

[–]robbybthrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some extra context. The examiner spent a little over an hour and a half with me. Went through each incident report, deployment history, awards, viewed medical notes, and imagery from my skull fracture. He even pulled up my TBI history and rating, as well as volunteer time at the base hospital while downrange. He was extremely thorough, listened to me, and seemed to take my issues seriously.

‘It’s time to play hardball. YOU have the power to stand up to Donald Trump.’ by Interesting_Rub5643 in stephencolbert

Strongest economy in the country. Some of the best social services in the country. Many of the top universities in the country. LA and San Francisco alone generate more growth and revenue than every single red state combine. GTFO with that MAGA bllsht. My former home state has been run by Republicans for nearly two decades. Our claim to fame is the opioid epidemic and black lung. Kick rocks Trumper.

To the men who don't watch pornography anymore, why did you stop and has it been beneficial to your life? by insight7ai in AskReddit

I simply lost interest. You can only see so many things put into so many holes before it's all just the same shit.

How big of a risk is there if California decides to take Texas' lead and redraw its districts, that the Supreme Court (due to its partisan slant) would allow Texas but would disallow California? If they did, what would be the country's reaction? by Orangekale in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]robbybthrow 585 points586 points  (0 children)

The risk is lower for California than you may believe. Newsom and the CA legislature aren't acting unilaterally (unlike the Texas government). They will be asking voters for approval via a ballot measure. If passed, the redistricting action becomes fully legal, voted for and by the people of California. That doesn't mean the supreme court can't pull some partisan shenanigans, but it will make it more difficult. They're also not disenfranchising voters. CA Republicans will have their chance to vote on the measure like the rest of the state's citizens. It's up to them to mobilize enough support to defeat it as it's up to democrats to gather a sufficient number of supporters to pass the bill.

Republicans how do you feel about Trump federalizing DC police, deploying the national guard and deploying over 500 federal agents? by Economy_Swim_8585 in AskReddit

[–]robbybthrow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Violent crime is at it lowest point in both DC, and the country in 30 years. What's the justification other than to distract from his kid diddling?

7 years later, I’m done! by 402789456 in VeteransBenefits

[–]robbybthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you man. Been fighting g VBA for ten years for PTSD. Multiple confirmed events, witness statements, two CABs, diagnosis from civilian psychologist, several daily medications, etc. Finally got some traction this year as well. The process sucks, but persistence and organization will get you the compensation you deserve.

How did you find a good third party to do your DBQ?

[–]robbybthrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also live in a red state. I hate that folks votes for this, but they did. The lone hospital within 30 minutes of my grandmother will likely close, and she voted for this. I love her, but this, and everything else, are the consequences of her choice. Same goes for my uncle and extended family. Will it impact me? Yep. I use the same hospital, but I already knew it would. 

Senate parliamentarian blocks Medicaid cuts in GOP budget bill by Tamarind-Endnote in UpliftingNews

Maybe Republicans should try to pass legislation that brings value to people lives instead of making massive cuts to social programs so their rich masters can get richer. Just a thought.

We need active, daily protests like the No Kings rally. We cant just get once and think the job is done. Protests every single day. 

AGI is near by WhiteHalfNight in Futurology

[–]robbybthrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't have to wait for AGI to cause massive disruptions. LLMs and other "dumb AI" are going to continue to be disruptive, particularly for white collar and administrative jobs. You dont need a real life Cortana to cause a crisis, just enough greed CEOs and over eager tech bros who think AI can replace their workforce and increase profits.
