Maybe I just suck at the research, but from what I can tell getting a permanent residence visa is not easy for Americans. If I'm wrong I would absolutely love to know.

Yoooo I totally forgot about this song. Thank you for bringing it back into my life.

I wouldn't call it ironic. You claimed that US military training causes permanent irreversible brain damage and referenced concussions as the cause. This is just has no hard evidence to back it up. And your comment here states something that was not your original claim and has not actually been studied and peer reviewed on anything except for a few studies on mice, where those studies indicate that it's hard to equivocate these outcomes to humans for a number of reasons. I'm not claiming that exposure to sub-concussive blasts isn't dangerous or injuring peoples brains, it probably is but I don't know for sure whether it does or not since it's not actually proven. Just stating, once again, that training is not responsible for actual concussions except in rare circumstances like accidental injury, almost all of these injuries occur in actual combat. Further, a majority of US service members are never even exposed to sub-concussive blasts, so there is only a small subset which your claim would even apply to in the first place.

I'm not trying to tear down your comments or defend the US military's practices, I just don't think making these types of claims without legitimate proof is useful or appropriate. If I've missed something that proves everything I've said wrong I'm perfectly happy to be corrected.

I'm not sure where you're getting this idea from but concussions are probably one of the plethora of shitty things that you actually aren't exposed to during training. Concussions and TBI are common because of close contact with explosives in combat zones mostly, not in training.

Of course I'm not defending the military and their practices, I was in the Marine Corps myself, this bit is just not true though.

I love how we're all so stuck up our own asses that people actually think it makes sense to hamper any sort of attempt at progress because it's not perfect. This is the same exact shit as single issues voters in the Republican party over guns or anti-abortion. So focused on one thing that they can't even understand they're hurting themselves.

Maybe this isn't you exactly, but it's what your comments rhetoric represents.

The word for me was seahorse, but when I asked it if it had scales the game answered yes. Seahorses do not have scales.

Why would you ever sign into anything in incognito mode. Doesn't that pretty much defeat the whole purpose?

Assuming it was done properly, the Impressions Games. Specifically Zeus+Poseidon.

I know that a Pharaoh remaster/remake was done recently but it sucks.

My blu-ray player has never been connected to the internet and works just fine.

You can actually have the hypochondriac thing removed from your medical records if you want it gone. It's a HIPAA requirement that you have full control over what's in there. You'll have to send the request to every facility you've shared your record with that don't have connected systems.

I personally have had nothing but a great experience with my VA healthcare. It seems like it really depends on what region you are in.
