Leave it to a .ml user to ignore all context…
The US currently employs “volunteer” troops, but also requires all male citizens to register for a future draft. Many living veterans were drafted. And many others were in vulnerable situations that recruiters recognized and preyed upon. Once you join the US military, it’s a crime to quit.
There is clearly some nuance needed when taking about US war veterans.
I don’t think any cops have been drafted into police service. They also don’t go to jail if they quit their job. And I haven’t heard of police recruiters using predatory tactics and targeting disadvantaged groups. The military does, or has done, all of those things to recruit troops.
Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Almost as annoying as the windows evangelists61·1 month agoWhat I consider a “better interface” is almost certainly not what a new user would consider a “better interface.”
Those are libraries used by user space applications. Most distros won’t boot without them, but you can still get into a recovery shell.
That’s a new one, kids called it “paper view” when I was growing up. It’s pay-per-view, and you could get it on cable and satellite too.

I’m not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I’m pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who’s violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.
Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I’d argue that counts too.
Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).
Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?4·2 months agoIMO some people take this too literally. Just because you want to be treated a certain way doesn’t mean other people want to be treated that way.
Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What happens if someone on the ISS gets depression?7·2 months agoDepression isn’t the same thing as sadness, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it disqualifies someone from being an astronaut. Most people don’t have depression, but everyone feels sadness at some point in their lives.
To answer your question, astronauts are trained to work under extreme stress, so they would know how to compartmentalize the pain and focus on completing the mission. Similar to soldiers.

Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN - Raw StoryEnglish2·3 months agoThanks, I honestly want expecting that kind of a response.
I’m sure there are some who voted out of protest, but only someone who identifies as a Democrat/leftist would vote for Trump out off protest.
Another reason I’ve heard is that Trump doesn’t try to hide his bad side. Democrat (read: neoliberal) policies tend to favor corporations over individuals, and homeowners over renters. Guess which race is more likely to own home and have a stock portfolio?
Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN - Raw StoryEnglish13·3 months agoYou didn’t answer my question, have you ever (honestly) wondered why PoC would vote for Trump over a Democrat? You have every right to criticize them, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve put any thought into why they disagree with you. The result is you will say things that alienate and dehumanize them, which is counterproductive.
Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN - Raw StoryEnglish13·3 months agoYou’re saying that no sane PoC would vote for Trump, when a significant number of PoC voted for him. That sounds a lot like you’re saying their perspective is invalid and they need to adopt your perspective. Hence, it follows the noble savage trope.
Have you ever wondered why they would vote for someone who openly says racist things?

Ajen@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'You are making it hard for us!' Black Americans for Trump member rips president on CNN - Raw StoryEnglish23·3 months agoCareful, sounds like you’re slipping into the old racist “noble savage” trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone “you ain’t black” because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?
Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.
It’s really the country you’re based in that matters the most.
