  • Conscription is just being extended to women the way men have been conscripted for centuries. Usually quite few are actually conscripted as volunteers fill most of the needed positions. The conscription is to my understanding mostly about having a sizable part of the population already trained in a worst case of invasion. This is not really a change in that sense, it has been a gender equality discussion for at least a decade or two. The conscription period is being extended as well, which is probably a result of increased risk posed by Russia, the lack of confidence in the US. Conscripts are however not sent to any frontline so to speak. Of course if an enemy army were to attack a European and or NATO country in what would look like a new world war, that would change, but at that point we are all in a pretty bad spot either way.

    But then the CLI wouldn’t be faster anymore and the whole argument most people keep bringing up falls apart.

    It is much faster for the one giving the answer. Also, the looking up the man page is something you only do the first time. With the gui the user should also verify before blindly following instructions, but it is usually harder to find proper documentation of gui features than cli commands.

    Also those man pages aren’t even remotely written to be understandable by Linux novices most of the time…

    That is a fair point. They are dense, technical and at times pretty hard to read. But when a novice asks for help they are always going to either trust blindly or verify. Verifying can be a difficult task for a novice no matter if gui or cli is suggested. I do think most novices would trust the gui way more and feel more in control of it, even if they are basically doing the same thing.

    As mentioned by another user it’s likely about the organization Palestine Action being designated a terrorist organization. This has caused about 700 arrests due to people protesting the designation of a group that never killed or hurt anyone as terrorists because they splashed some planes with red paint. Last time I heard an additional 60 protesters were arrested for supporting Palestine Action and officials said more arrests were likely coming.

    So you are just going to state your false dichotomy fallacy outright? Yes different disorders have different symptoms and not all have the same effect on social functions. Just as I wouldn’t expect an amputated leg and a toothache to be the same in regards to their effect on running speed. Not all physical illnesses “either do or don’t make it more difficult to run” so why would all mental conditions “either make or not make one abusive”?
