Sucking dick is then always hetero, because it goes in on the other side, so kinda reversed too?

(Sorry I had to bring it up)

I’d want to say “8 billion people”, but right now 3000 billionaires lead on.

After all, they maintain their position by masterfully playing people off each other and setting things up to be on top. They have all the resources to extend their influence.

If 8 billion people could turn billionaires voices off for anything larger than a day, then yeah, 8 billion all the way, and 3000 will run out FAST.

But the latter know this, and will never let this happen. We should.

Keep it in mind: every time you take a shit, you’re essentially reverse dildoing your ass. Very homo.

Not reading all that

The most blatant evasion.

Short version personally for you: all good things military does are better done by other specially trained people. And they don’t need deadly weapons for this. Military doesn’t make sense outside killing context.

P.S. My dad served in the army before he disappeared, so I’m pretty sure I know a bit.

Assisting during disasters

Emergency responders do this with much less overhead - like, well, weapons. They also receive a much more extensive training for this specific kind of thing.

Supporting and maintaining equipment

Military equipment, i.e. literal murder machines.

Stabilizing areas

UN Peacekeepers do this. National armies serve “national interests”, as defined by the government backing them. They are not always interested in deescalation of conflicts, and US Army in particular stirred so many conflicts and made them so much worse because it served US government. Same idea for the rest.

It’s not the soldiers decision

It’s their decision to join the army and voluntarily give up their right to refuse. If you know you can be sent to raze territories and people, why do you join in the first place? There are better places to do good aspects of what army occasionally does.

The primary role of military is to project power by either destroying or threatening to destroy anything a given government doesn’t like. Everything else comes secondary, and if not for that, we would have dedicated personnel only meant to do the good things instead. Don’t buy weapons and helicopters, train people to respond to emergencies and assist local civilians in hostile areas. UN does this. But hey, how do you instate banana republics then?

Things that actually help people don’t cost that much. For some people, it’s a problem.

UN is doing pretty much that. A little armed personnel, a lot of medics and cooks to help the locals

Yet gun control works.

Same idea.

Oh, I’m all in for spending company money. But I’d rather not incentivize murderers.

Most of these roles are means to help actual infantry and pilots to kill people.

The only roles that might be seen as something different are medic and cook. But even then - they are there so that the soldiers could be there on the battlefield later on.

It’s not about someone getting a discount. It’s about businesses incentivizing American military that is prone of causing misery around the globe. It is immoral and insane.

Better clean that thing well

Just about everything can seem big when you have an electron microscope

Your computer will gradually get more and more filled with security holes that will be problematic to patch. Eventually, programs will stop supporting it as well.

It shouldn’t be criminalized; it just shouldn’t exist as a concept it is today.

People should have a private place to live on, but shouldn’t own anything else to profit off it.

Fire extinguiser propelling or the explosion prevention?

Everything I do is wrong

Changing workplace, if possible

Nothing really matters

Meaningful activities outside work

I’m sure you heard it already, but both are complicated, which is why people often stick with what they hate. But both are so important and true you need to find ways to achieve it.

For me, I found meditation to be the easiest point of entry into shaking my life up. It takes 10 minutes a day, requires near-zero willpower to execute (unlike, say, exercises, which are otherwise great), it helps me ground, relax and find out what I really think of stuff when I’m not pressured by a concrete wall of stress.

After that, YMMV. I found out I can safely gear down and live a better life with less load for a while, even if it means less income (not that I was rich to begin with, but one thing even worse than poverty is living at work you hate). I’ve found inspiration in nature, long walks, and finding small things that matter. I also found it in people and joined some local activism. And from there, I looked for ways to get back to higher income without compromising my integrity.

I still struggle with exercises and sometimes healthy diet, but I fuck off myself and do what I can, and know I do my best. Now I wake up with purpose and get to bed without regret. It’s not sunshine and rainbows, but way better than it was before.

Oh, and I restored my previous income, but with less pain and misery, doing what I like. I’m sure I could again pick a better paying career and earn twice as much as I do now, but screw it, it’s not worth it.
