It was my father, but it's the same story. He never understood why i never wanted to see him after my parents divorced, and i did not come to his funeral. He was much nicer to my little sister tho, she did not see what me and my brother had to endure years before, and so she is still angry years later that i skipped the funeral.

Yeah, i got hooked on fent patches for managing my chronic pain and me liking it a bit too much and using them not in the intended way. I've been told that heroin is a lot more pleasant, like falling in a loving embrace in comparison to fentanyl.
I'm on substitution now, and happy to be off something that could have killed me, but the craving still comes back every few days for a while.
I agree that if your partner really wants to build you up, that it can help getting honest feedback from your significant other; i have changed a lot of things to make living together work better. But the way anon describes it sounds insufferable and more like he likes being dominated; also, it can put you under constant stress if the demands are unreasonable or don't respect your needs.
Everyone of those 90% is forced to serve regardless of their resistance.
There are times where i as a man feel deeply ashamed for how many men behave. This and the sexual assault on mexicos president are causing such emotions currently.
Why the fuck does this keep happening? ok, in this case it's india, which has a really bad track record, but is there nothing to be done to keep this from happening? It causes immense frustration in me.
Have fun! I have read most of the list entries over the years, and a lot of stories and arcs (but far from everything!). The SCP entries themselves are great, but there are so many more stories - most of them well written - to find there.
Nice that you ignore the 90% that dont get the chance to refuse.
It's not an excuse, it's what is expected of them, and what is drilled into their brains through multiple channels while growing up, cranked up to 11 the moment the military gets their hands on them - and they get the majority of the population in their hands. Refusing to serve on conscientious grounds has only a 10% chance of being exempted. So yeah, the chance that those who kill themselves didn't want to serve is pretty high.
Even those who refuse and are lucky to get an exemption pay a heavy price, with their job prospects shot to hell and their standing in society reduced to traitor. Not even the left wing in Israel supports them.
Israel's military, state and how they are interwoven is not comparable to anything else i have ever heard of in my life. In most of the world you can either not enlist or it has no real repercussions on your civilian life if you refuse to serve (in my country you are not allowed to get a gun license for - i think it's 25 years? - if you refuse to serve and have to do a 3 months longer civil service instead)
They can try to refuse; Wikipedia says that 9,5% of the people who refuse on conscientious grounds are allowed to. Not serving will also wreck your chance to a normal life; Most jobs want only people who have served and completed their compulsory military service, and you are branded as a "refusenik". Dodging the draft will get you a travel ban; you can't even leave the country. So if your parents don't do the smart thing and send you off before the draft, you are fucked; and if you leave, you can't come back if you dont want to serve. Those are pretty shitty options if you just want to live your life in peace. It's not NK, but it's not comparable to any military in the west.
There will be a non-zero amount of soldiers who didn't choose this - Israel has a mandatory military draft of 2 years for men and women, with some roles having to serve additional time. Once you are drafted, you will be pressured into things, and with "Shooting and Crying" you've shown a propaganda tool used to prime the civilian population for exactly this - following orders even when your conscience says it's wrong to do so.
So yeah, i stand by my statement that IDF Soldiers who kill themselves because they can't live with what they've witnessed are victims of the same machinery that kills children in the strip.
He looks soo cute :-) I never had an orange cat, is it true that they all share a single braincell with each other?
Don't forget to deworm him, that might make his belly a bit smaller - i haven't heard of a stray that didn't have some intestinal parasites.
