yea, they bumped me up to 100% and gave me like a year of back-pay from the previous rating

I don't understand the VA rating system

My friends says I should be getting paid at the 100 rate and that I should have been medical discharged.

more and more people are even shedding their aversion to the word socialism. i do still get plenty of funny looks when i tell people i'm a communist tho

Yeah, as people who didn't literally grow up being screamed to sleep by the Cold War Nuclear Red Scare every night come into their own, "socialism" as a threat is losing its power. (One reason why they've been so desperate for Cold War Mk. 2 for so long.)

From my perspective it's a complete black box. I have no idea why they bumped me up after the most recent review, but I am thankful for it because I will be able to travel to someplace warm in the middle of winter for the first time in my life because of it.

I'm pretty sure socialism would bring some radical changes to Hollywood and I'm reasonably sure the same is true of the games industry.

99% of good video games are made in japan or are janky pc rpgs from one of the weird europe countries. so those should be fine

yes you can with the additional fun element that sometimes this murders not only the training dwarf but also everyone within shrapnel range of their corpse

a fun 'bug' that was in the game for a while was every cat in the fortress suddenly dying after they introduced tavern zones, because while in other areas of the game things are ridiculously correct in volume and viscosity and such, for whatever reason there was only one liquid volume measure for alcohol, so the amount that spilled onto the floor from a spilled mug was the same amount as a full drink from a barrel and consequently after bar fights any cats that walked through the bar would get a full barrel-drink of booze on them and would consequently ingest that much alcohol when they groomed and immediately die of alcohol poisoning
