An easy way out. That’s it.
If it’s about a material thing - being able to throw it away and buy a “correct” one without worrying about recouping any money.
If it’s about politics - open path to changing your opinion without constantly being called out for your previous opinion. I feel like changing your mind is punished to an extreme. You need to have always believed the “correct” thing without showing any doubt or you’re out. And this is common to many political groups.

In his defense, in 1721 vaccines were really a new unproven technology. And if you don’t know it works, or even what causes diseases in the first place, it’s reasonable to be skeptical. It’s also reasonable to change your mind when you see it does really work.
Antarctica. It’s possible, there are regular tours to the South Pole. In reality I can’t afford €60k+ for such a tour, but if money is no object I’d go
I was just letting some frustrations into the keyboard. True, I don’t personally know any trans people. And my frustration stems from both sides claiming they have the One True Answer to the questions about sex and gender.
Of course I’m more willing to agree with the pro-trans side since they are willing to show some doubt about all of it being genetically pre-determined (which is imo obviously false)
The more discussion I see about trans people, both for and against, the less tolerance I have for all of it. I’m becoming both anti-trans and anti-cis. Just let people live they way they want, and try to respect it up to some reasonable level of effort. The whole gender thing is bs in the first place.
So does this mean DP is something you need to work for in the porn industry? Like they don’t let beginners do it, you need to reach a certain seniority level before you’re allowed to take on serious projects.

I know there are cheaper offers around, but I can’t be bothered to switch

lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later
I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official
Good to see Romania is deporting criminal immigrants

It seems their plan is to commit so much evil that it provokes God into action to bring on the apocalypse
Arguing semantics is not arguing in good faith.
In this “purely theoretical” case, exhaustion plays a huge role. There would not be a lack of volunteers in the beginning, say in the first year of war. After a couple of years and no hope of victory, it’s not surprising some people could decide to give up.
Now, should they be forced into war anyway? Tragedy of the commons or some such philosophical dilemma…
Mandatory training - Yes
Mandatory service - No
In the event of a real defensive war, where your nation is invaded with the intent of conquest or subjugation, you will not have a lack of volunteers. You will have a lack of trained people.
It takes a couple of months to train a new recruit. Having everyone ready to go will help tremendously during the initial stages of war.
On the other hand, a permanent mandatory service is 1. A waste of money, 2. Open for exploitation by corrupt governments
In the Balkans and Turkey you don’t own a cat. They just live in your neighborhood.
Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.
