I wish some of these subs would stand their ground and make the admin replace them. That would cause the admin seven bigger headaches down the line, because a lot of the mods they impose would likely not be as good, not be as committed, and would be less strict in moderation, leading to a big pain for advertisers who suddenly would see lots of content next to their ads that is very not good.
I think this is ok. It’s how the market works. If you have enough people who agree with your stance, then you’ll survive, if not, you fail. Transversely, if you are trying to make a profitable business, you remove all roadblocks from a consumer who wants to do business with you.
That’s a very shallow way to look at it. First wrong: This isn’t a numbers game. A party with more people won’t necessarily win. Second wrong: Not all people who are not the minority are against the minority
No, given the preponderance of white owned businesses, the way that turns out is Jim crow. You think that some store in rural bumfuck will hurt with a sign saying "no blacks, jews or gays"?
When I was at school the uniform was just a basic pull over jumper, polo shirt and skirt/trousers. They were pretty effective at getting you caught if you decided to bunk off, like I did during PE and RE.
The uniform kids have to wear these days, which is basically a full on suit looks so uncomfortable, especially in the summer.
I'm from NI where all the schools have uniforms. Shirt, tie, trousers, wool blazer generally although some are nylon blazers. It's not too bad if you take your blazer off when its warm and I did like not having to think about clothes.
Hell yeah…I’ve been dying to wear shorts at work. I could provide numerous examples of Fire Departments that wear shorts…but, nope…EMS peeps are stuck in pants. BS!
Personally, when I’m doing direct patient care, I want as much of me covered as I can tolerate. Like, yes, it sucks horrendously doing CPR in full isolation gear, but I’d rather have that than have fluids touch my skin anywhere.
Fine for you. Doesn’t bother me. Very easy to wash off your knees if some how you kneel in fluids. But, if you control your scene well enough, that shouldn’t be an issue.
I never served, but worked at an Exchange on a Navy base. Freshly promoted Chief’s wives love to try to make us in the store call them by their husband’s rank or whatever other nonsense they thought they deserved, but guess what? I’m not in the chain of command at all and there’s nothing in the employee handbook that makes me abide by any of that.
Military is such a fucking joke. Why the fuck would you salute anyone for anything? Bunch of fucking power freaks with a domination kink and their equally as kinky doggies who would literally die for a piece of colored rag on a stick oil company profits.
The only purpose of a mandatory military service like where I live is to teach young people to obey authority without question. That somehow makes you “a real man”.
We have military service here because we’re a small country with a large and aggressive neighbour that not only has attacked us within living memory, but is currently demonstrating what it does to neighbouring countries that it thinks it can get away with attacking.
I am not against military service. I am against MANDATORY military service. Do you honestly think that giving people a choice is a bad thing? That making people choose between learning to kill and obey or going to jail is justified? Or do you think that the majority of young people wouldn’t serve if it wasn’t mandatory? Please.
I am not against taxation. I am against MANDATORY taxation. Do you honestly think that giving people a choice is a bad thing?
No-one wants mandatory military service, but it’s necessary for the sake of society as a whole. Maybe one day it won’t be, but clearly that’s just how things are now.
As for choice, you do have a choice and you know it. Civilian service is a thing here.
Are you actually comparing paying for healthcare, infrastructure and social security to military service? That’s pretty ridiculous and I think you know it.
Mandatory military service is absolutely not necessary for the sake of society. In Norway, for example, around 80% are released from service and it’s doing quite alright. Sweden is doing fine, too and only a portion of eligible people are actually called in.
And you’re just glossing over the fact that the overwhelming majority in Finland would still serve if it wasn’t mandatory, according to polls the willingness to serve has never really dropped.
And regarding the civilian service, I went there. It’s a year for everyone, instead of 6 months minimum for the military. You also get paid the same as the fresh recruits in the military, which is simply not enough for a civilian. You try living with the day wage if you don’t believe me. And that pay is for a 40h work week. Those conditions are in places worse than the conditions in open prisons, like in Suomenlinna for example. So civilian service is in essence a prison sentence.
Because commissioned officers write the rules that make them feel good and strong and important, and remind anybody who hasn’t gone to college that they’re mangy peasants unworthy to be in said college graduate’s presence.
General officers come with flags, placards, and assorted other bric a brac. The rule of thumb I quoted is decades old, and intended to help clarify how all that goofyness should be addressed, and generally benefits joe.
An officer in civvies carrying his uniform with his rank visible is actually an outstanding example of how said rule of thumb precludes stupid shit, because that guy is almost definitely playing the bullshit game… I’d just salute the fucker, ain’t nobody got time fo dat ;)
How were you even able to cross the parking lot? It’s not like the Toyota Camry can ever return the salute so would you basically become stuck in a salute forever?
