New reports have said that drone operators face enormous levels of stress, guilt, and trauma as a result of their jobs. People who witness their friends — and even their supposed enemies — killed or hurt in the line of battle can be and are still affected.

Sarah, the only ways the troops aren’t being supported are the ways that actually matter - healthcare, rehabilitation (physically, mentally, emotionally), resources for a successful integration back into society...

Thinking about getting a travel fund. I think this is a grand idea. Thanks for the advice!

Still, good on her for not dipping into the emergency fund for not-an-emergency. That takes a lot of willpower, especially when it’s not like she has to talk herself out of buying a lunchtime burrito with that money, but an actual long-term, life-changing purchase.

Best piece of advice my parents ever gave me was first and foremost, once you get your first job, before buying new furniture or clothes or anything, spend as long as it takes to stock up an emergency fund with enough money for 6 months minimum of living, 8 months if you can swing it.

I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…

Never be entirely dependent on any one person or situation, ever.

There are also cow’s milk free baby formulas (some infants are allergic to milk or lactose intolerant and told by doctors not to consume cow’s milk, as I was). So I’m not sure we can blame this on vegans so much as... being an idiot.

You know, my random personal observation as to why Rocco did not want to spend Xmas with his mother (besides the weird cupping) is that Madonna has been opening up so much about her love for Sean Penn, writing an affidavit denying spousal abuse to defend him etc that it feels to him, as a child, that she never really…

so shit head recommends shit head to shit heads who were already wetting themselves over said shit head.

“Justice” system.

Really? What’s a better punishment? We complain about mass incarceration in the abstract but want to keep everyone in prison forever in the concrete.

“I didn’t make the horse analysis. It wasn’t me. Somebody else did.”
