wtfffff. even for my American butt, that sounds crazy. a government forcing its citizens to conduct a year of national service strikes me like some medieval or fascist level stuff.

Oh wow, soooo interesting! For me, it's the government forcibly taking control of a year of your life. I'm not saying that my perspective is correct. It's just that that's how I see it. I voluntarily served 4 years in the American military, so I'm not opposed to government service. I guess maybe my American mistrust of government is what's making me apprehensive of the policy. It's like I fear that the federal government will misuse it while also taking a major formative year of its citizens' lives. Moreover, even if the government tries its best to make ethical decisions, I don't think government is capable of making those decisions. It's too bloated and compromised by the selfish goals of politicians and elites. Thinking it through for this comment, I would be more comfortable with the government providing incentives for 18 year olds to contribute public service by providing extra benefits such as college tuition, home loan guaranty, preferential hiring for government jobs, so it might be the mandatory part that is the main factor driving my concern. Btw,...woahhh, I'm having a moment since I never expected to be so American with my politics because I generally swing quite left, even for those outside of the USA.

What's the perspective you guys have on it? How do you see it? Is it something like, "This is a good policy because citizens should contribute to their country and government is an appropriate avenue to decide how to do so and enforce this?" I would love to hear how you guys generally see it because this seems like an interesting clash of cultures. I look forward to your response 😀

I mean, you guys made it into a literal lottery.

Exactly! Those people were drafted and sent to fight an unpopular war in a country that most of them didn't even know existed until then. The rich were able to dodge it by paying off the right people and others had to leave as political refugees. I think that a lot of Americans learned to fear mandatory government service due that policy.

Effectively it's slave labour for the poor and pay so you don't need to do it for the rich.

The story of human society continues as normal.

Jozef

I think it's actually Iosif. His name is spelled as Иосиф in Cyrillic.

и = i

o = o

c = s

ф = f

According to commercial genetics testing, I'm more Neanderthal than 90% of other people that used the same major company. My ancestors were into some kinky 👉👌

I was soooo happy to finish with high school. Maybe it's because I knew that I was about to leave home and become independent, but I hated the grind of high school. Going to school everyday for 8 hours then having homework seems unhelpful and even counterintuitive.

The military was worse in regards to the amount of work and grind, but I learned lots of valuable skills and actually made practical contributions rather than what I saw was busy work with no real product. It also made me value proper education since I saw the benefits of being able to contribute to a team using my capacities and training.

Once I got to college, I was able to focus on the subjects that I naturally enjoyed. The class schedule in college was also less consuming and I had some control over it since I was able to select which classes to register for.

There were some things I did miss from high school. One, we were all innocent and had few legitimate concerns when it came to surviving. I didn't have to worry about getting fired or paying rent. My concerns were adolescent social issues mostly. Two, all my peers were from the same area and we grew up there, so we understood each other in a way that I never found elsewhere. Three, we were all put together, so it was like a community where you were forced to interact with all sorts of capacities but were treated as equals. This also happened in the military, but after that, my social opportunities were limited to my exposure to others based on my career and income. There has been much less diversity and more inequality based on power and financial situations.

    I recently started watching Narcos about a week ago, and this is the first time I realize that the guy in this meme is the portrayal of Pablo Escobar 😮😋

    Linux Mint is the shit if you want a to have just a smooth seamless transition from Windows or a Linux OS that just works.

    GTFO here! That is sooooo much more inconvenient since it will block the view of anything you have open on that screen, and it just feels completely odd. wowwww.

    This is one of my top two reasons for not using Windows. Wth can I not put the panel where ever the hell I want?? So freaking frustrating how they control what you can do just in terms of user preferences. Or like, why can't I click on whatever window I want regardless of a prompt being open. "Oh you took a screen shot and want to save it, but you need to look at the site to remember the name? lol, fu." Unbearable.

    Fyi, the other top reason is that they shove a bunch of garbage in that I don't want, like that Cortana bs they did a few years back. No thank you.
