    Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn’t be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed… because it teaches life skills etc.
    On the other hand I don’t think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.








  • Assuming the bot is reposting content from the old site, there is no guarantee that the original reddit post was OC either. But attribution to the poster is at least appropriate and should be possible with a bot (if the creators are listening).

    At the moment this is a niche community on a niche platform. And beggars can’t be choosers.



  • Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don’t like the idea of management. I love doing what I do… fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

    I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn’t seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

    Just some ideas, I don’t have much good advice as I’m spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.



  • Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren’t really that interested in playing but don’t know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.
