US has the constitution. Gov does not make "the law", it is not UK!

I have to be a bit careful what I say here.

Orthodox have certain political views, that do not mix well with majority of liberal population. They claim ethical/non-military grounds when it comes to conscription, but are very strongly opinionated in other areas.

And look who is doing actual fighting in Gaza. There are are like 5000 US Navy seals. Conscript army can not even man fortified bunkers!

> My claim is that among the top 10 happiest countries,

I read Israel faces genocide, that does not sound very happy!

If you look at some stats, North Korea is doing pretty well, they have like 40% gender equality or whatever.

I would really recommend you to travel a bit. You obviously do not have much experience (stats, research). Israel is quite ok now.

If you want good safe place for "cultural shock", Jeddah would be good, nice corrals...

Well, I will give an actual example of non specific country that was invaded two year ago.

First profi army becomes senior force, that trains whomever wants to hold a gun (second army). There is never political support to draft third army (like everyone). Remains of first army flee after government collapses. Political regime changes.

Finland has maybe 1000 men who are trained to NATO standards. If there is a Russian invasion, current conscript army become police force to handle local population and logistics, while NATO overtakes the country.

It is not 1940 something.

I was in Gothenburg. There is a statue for 51%, they were forced to stay at home and are the real victims, while 49% were pushed through meat grinder.

So not just Uncle Tom, but also total misogynistic! Please do not ignore women, they are human beings and they matter too!

They were excluded until very recently. I think details are not relevant, but look how long they do studies, dodging ratios, where they serve, extremism, tax payments... It really does not belong here.

My point is that Israel is really not good example of a country with "happy conscription".

Israel is actually good pace to visit now. Cheaper than usually, far less tourist, stay on coast (Haifa and Tel Aviv) avoid religious sites. I am going there in October for two weeks.

51% of Swedish population opposes conscription tooth and nail.

My "practical" opposition to slavery is that I will never ever become slave again, no matter if waht, if I am forced into it!

I am not going to talk about Switzerland.

Orthodox in Israel are excluded from military service. But there are settlers... Ethical my bum.. also there are like 20% Arabs... You should really spend some time in there, crazy country.

> I'd be surprised if there was a "huge opposition" in Switzerland or Israel

That is reason why women got voting rights in 1970 in Switzerland, they were worried about conscription.

Israel has a huge orthodox religious community that opposes conscription. Army is just for liberal idiots!

> So the concept of SLAVERY is not obviously ineffective. It depends on the implementation.

I live in Prague, had gf from Ukraine, know like 5 men who escaped just before border closed, a few guys from my company were conscripted, I know 3 men who died...

I can ensure you this is not some sort of parody

Sure Uncle Tom! If it's so great, why they have to force people into it?

I was conscripted, I fired 20 bullets over 12 months, I get more practise over weekend of paintball! Rest was just bullying, cleaning toilets and scraping potatoes. They would not even let me drive a truck, because I was too "unreliable"!

Technically it is voluntary. You do not have to sign it, but in most states you get criminal record for not signing it.

Gov needs it to be "voluntary", or else they could be sued for compensations.

If there is a war, do not sign it!

Yes, like become "voluntary" slave, or we put you into prison! US still requires men to sign up for selective service, or else they will not even get a driving licence!

It is very relevant, the whole questionare is about "National Service". They are tricking people into supporting slavery!

> National service is the system of compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Conscription is mandatory national service. The term national service comes from the United Kingdom's National Service Act 1939.

This is pretty common in Prague. Rent contract has some value, so you pay compensation to original owner. Pretending otherwise is just lying.

Here is an example from centre of Prague. 400 euro per month, 20k compensation

> 51% attack it. If you can outwaste energy, you can hijack the system

Out hashing does not give you any extra powers. Maybe you will be able to rollback a few minutes of transactions, that is all.

So eating meat is not ethical, but we should not really digg into why?

So is starlink military technology, and if yes, are its satellites military assets?

Ukraine has technology to shutdown this network!

Soviets replicated all sort of stuff, 8bit controllers, all the way up to i386.

Ext4 is probably the worst filesystems for such task. 1e9 files is really not that much.

Old Reiserfs3 really excelled in this, Gentoo Portage had many tiny files. Today Btrfs has features like extends, where tiny (or empty) files are stored together in single inode.

For distributing image with several files(such as this example), SquashFs is the best option.

Thanks, it seems to support it (even through it is a bit DIY). Will look into it.

Does it support extra features from VirtualBox (machine snapshots, suspend&resume, multiple monitors, shared clipboard...)?

Viagra is a medication used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. Better blood flow is one of the results.

And shelling Donetsk City is somehow different?

They just refuse to take report, with some bullshit excuse. Like under $950 it is misdemeanor..

Everything in shop is locked up, but crime is down!

Arguing about "facts" and statistics, when it is literally impossible to report basic crimes like robbery to police is pointless!

I am talking about career of a game developer, not customers. Indie games also have loot boxes, it is a great way to monetize..

It is really bad move to work for "woke" companies as cis hetero white guy with some experience. You have to work much harder. And promotions to senior positions are limited...

Industry is ok, indie devs can make a good money. Now with AI it is even easier.

But working for a big company is a bad career. Too much overhead, garbage leadership and vision, wokeism...

> Can we please stop reading history and stories as things that people in the past slavishly believed to the letter like unthinking machines? Of course stories about leaders glorify them.

People back them did not had so many information. All negative information about the king or leader was (self) censored.

Look at cult Steve Jobs had in his lifetime, he was far from perfect, but nobody cared. Or some political leaders, despite all the corruption, drugs...
