People don't understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA...he fell for the deception and I couldn't pull him out. I get real bad "left a man behind" in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up...fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.
If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren't. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn't like the fantasy portrays.

Its just a regular job where you are trained to kill other people.
If it wasn't condoned by the government, they would be considered trained murderers.
Oh, but it is to fight the trained murderers of other nations!
So they are the solution to a problem they cause themselves.

A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn't the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.

listen bro, animals kill animals all the time, animals fight over territory, the military is just a mechanized extension of that, idk what you want me to tell you, but this is literally just the natural consequence of the industrial revolution.
At least now we aren't killing millions of people, only hundreds of thousands.
Also, this is falling under what i like the call the "ravine fallacy" where it only takes one person falling into a ravine for everybody to get completely fucked.

Yes. They are people. Probably nice people. I'm sure there's bunch of cops who are also nice people. Doesn't matter. The problem is systemic. ACAB includes military.

Harley Quinn is a hottie 😍

Lots of rule 34 too. I mean, that's what I hear. How would I know? Geez! Get off my case!

Harley Quin r34 is generally pretty good quality honestly, and other than the fact fetish stuff it's fairly normal as far as r34 goes. So don't be so hard on yourself there are much more degenerate things you could be jorkin it to.

yeah, you could jerk off to normal porn, thank god.

My neighbour is almost 60 and she still lives with her mum! (And when she married the husband moved with them.)
I think that it's fine to still live with family. As long as nobody is a leech or a control freak.
I think the only reason this is a thing is because houses are prohibitively expensive for about 60% of the population right now. So your options are
Most people are much better off with a house from their parents than paying some rich douches mortgage for them.
I forgot to mention, this is in South America. As far as I know, cross-gen households used to be the norm here, and mortgaging your home isn't common, because there's simply less social pressure to leave your parents' home if you can't afford a house.
2 doesn't work in aggregate, because your parents will functionally sell off their house to generate funds to pay for an assisted living facility, or all the medical debts they incur in old age.
You may technically still inherit the house, but you'll also inherit all the reverse mortgage payments.
Sure, there will be exceptions to this, but in general?
Poor millenials and zoomers are going to stay poor and get poorer.
They largely will not be getting a generational inheritance or wealth transfer.
Every article you read about a generational inheritance also neglects to mention that half of the wealth that is supposedly set to be inherited by millenials/zoomers, from boomers, is concentrated in the hands of about 1% of boomers.
Oh right, not to mention that by the time your parents are dead, it'll be impossible to get homeowners insurance for something like 1/3 to 1/2 of most houses, as climate change intensifies, disasters become more and more common, and home insurers just give up, as they currently are in Florida and California.
you forgot the secret third option of DIY housing.
As long as they have healthy relationship and they have their own job to not be dependent on her everything is fine here.
