Why would their citizens need to fight if they do not want to? Zelensky is touring the world in his soldier costume but he is not fighting on the front lines.
I mean setting aside debate about conscription… But are you seriously questioning why government leaders aren’t fighting on the front lines?
You talk tough from behind your keyboard because it is not you getting sent to the front-lines.
Boldly stated from behind a keyboard.

Lol, there are several comments on this post specifically talking about castration. Simply highlighting one aspect of the paradigm does not mean you condone the other, nor does it mean people are ignoring it.
Sexual violence against women is spoken more about because it is much more common than with men. One out of five women are victims or rape or rape attempts, comparatively only one out of thirty-one men have experienced the same. The same goes for cattle, as the vast majority of cattle are females.
Simply stating that fact does not mean people do not care about sexual violence towards men, nor would someone who cares about the suffering of animals condone the morality of the practices in the meat industry when it comes to male cows.

I would say that’s an example of perfect being the enemy of good. If someone is making a conscious effort to moderate their consumption of meat then how can that be a bad thing when compared to the vast majority of people who make no effort at all?
Any amount of effort is better than not trying at all. Plus, is wager that the majority of people transition into vegetarianism/veganism, and this may be the first step of that journey. Why would anyone be critical of these people when there are people whose main caloric intake is meat?
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 1 week ago:
It’d be nice to be able to walk down a street without making other people uncomfortable because men in general are less assholish than bears.
Eh… The vast majority of encounters with bears are generally with black bears where both sides are usually just scared of each other and scamper away.
I think most men just lack the perspective of just how vulnerable women are compared to men. Imagine if you lived in a world where you were surrounded by dudes the size of your average NFL lineman, and a non insignificant percent of them have a history of sexual violence towards someone your size… You too might be nervous walking in the dark by yourself.
I am 6’3 with a cut weight around 245lb and I have to be mindful about how I carry myself, or how closely I walk near people to not make people of any sex uncomfortable. There’s a reason a big jolly guy is a stereotype, no one is comfortable around a large dude with an attitude.

Good strategy if you have the room in your freezer. We’ve tried that before, but unfortunately I have a really narrow freezer and can’t fit a decent sized pizza in there.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 4 weeks ago:
We make multiple dough balls and freeze them. That way if we are going to have pizza for dinner we just leave the frozen dough to defrost and rise in a bowl when we’re at work.

I guess I’ll mark that down as religious indoctrination.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
The true purpose of us humans is to live and make life.
What dictates “true purpose” here? What need does making more life fulfill?
Your argument is either based on religious indoctrination, or a poor understanding of biology and evolution.

I feel like 10-15 years ago Waffle House was a really decent greasy spoon diner for the money. I remember being able to get an all star special for five bucks. I just looked it up and they’re wanting $13-14 now…

Yep, and if you don’t use them the body will break down the sperm and absorb it. So op is basically advocating young men to absorb fat loads into their bodies.

The only smart person was the guy with the other bear who at first ran back to help, but then realized he would just bringing another bear into the mix. The other bear seemed a little too eager to go back as well.
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 2 months ago:
Yeah, there was a website that had all the unedited transcripts and some recordings from crashes. I don’t think I remember reading any real prayers, that’s unless you count something like “oh God, oh god” as a prayer. Mainly just a lot of swearing and a mix of panicked or resigned statements. Most are just a couple sentences long, seems like most crashes go from fine to catastrophic very quickly.

I don’t think anyone loves eating canned mixed veggies… But I admit, every once in a while I’ll make a fancy version of Mac and cheese and hotdogs.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 months ago:
Haha, I had a similar experience because of canned mix veggies. For a long time I didn’t think I liked beans because I always hated the texture of the canned lima beans. I also thought all veggies would taste the same because canned mix veggies all adopt an odd homogeneous taste.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 months ago:
Mac and cheese and hot dogs are probably less reliable than the canned mixed veggies. I don’t think anyone gets nostalgia for soaked mushie veggies .
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 4 months ago:
Sorry, but this is like one of the many litmus tests for people who think they grew up in the middle class and then actually find out they grew up poorer than they initially thought.
Another good one was having canned mixed vegetables more than a couple times a week.

Easy… I have a wood working shop at home. I can just trace the sword and carve… Wait a sec.

I do work with a lot of moldable foam. I’ve always kinda figured if I get kicked from the field or get bored I can always build costumes or custom leather kink gear.

I will not be negged into fixing your plate mail.
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 4 months ago:
Sort of a similar situation with me and renfair people. I build and fit people with custom orthopedic braces and prosthetics and have access to a metal and leather lab.
I wouldn’t claim anyone is overly flirtatious, but they do seem to get friendlier and ask a lot of questions about things like hand setting rivets.
- Comment on I pulled my hip flexor :( 4 months ago:
Uhhg, hip flexors are such whiney little bitches. I am active after work, but my job requires me to sit down for long periods which tightens your hip flexors.
The couch hip flexor stretch and Mcgill’s big three core exercises have helped a ton for my recovery.

Yeap, including cram schools most kids highschool and below are pulling 12-16 hour days. Over there grade school and highschool are where you put your work in and really over exert yourself, and then college and grad school are a cake walk and when you get to finally party your ass off.
- Comment on wish 4 months ago:
Nah, it’s pretty normal in South Korea. School and the expectations of success are just brutal over there. It’s not unusual to see groups of kids coming home from school/after school programs after dark.

What the hell are you talking about?
Brazil had the worst stats in basically every category when it came to slavery. They owned the most slaves, imported the most slaves, killed the most slaves, and their sugar plantations were widely known as the worst working conditions in America’s.
- Comment on wish 4 months ago:
Eh… My little cousins live in Korea and come from money, it still sounds kinda crappy. 8 hours of school then instrument practice, dance class, and after school academy… the little dudes get home at like 9-10pm every night. One of them calls all the time and begs us to host him when he’s ready for college, the little guy just wants to play football.
