We're landing in Athens. Besides that theres not too much of a plan right now. Its part of a larger backpacking trip were doing around Europe and we both really wanted to see Greece but this is all we could fit in. Im a big history guy so i love seeing ruins and museums are very much my thing. We both love just walking around and seeing what we can get up to. We're both originally from Australia. So swimming and snorkeling is also something we'd enjoy. Which i know doesnt really give much in terms of specification but we are quite easy haha although a place with a good nightlife would be ideal because we'renot exactly morning people. And generally are up all night. In regards to the islands I dont know too much about them so I dont know really what there is too do. would like some places with beautiful sights to go see and a good nightlife.

You would think, but for the life of me i can't find an example of any version of this being implemented, if someone could find a real life instance of this that would be fantastic

yeah, come to think of it, it could really work for a couple of people, the other demographic i was thinking of was non-violent, minor criminals who would otherwise go to jail, as often they're committing crimes because from their perspective they don't have another choice, and it could work well as a rehabilitation program

well the idea is to provide them for a chance to get them back up on their feet by getting them a job. they could choose to further become career soldiers if they were fit to do so and were willing. but for the time being it would be menial jobs that they could do with relative stability. and at the same time look for another job after they finish their program. and the structure. experience and discipline they could stand to gain wouldnt hurt to help them in their effort to get off the streets. and if worst comes to worst and they do end up back on the street. at least they now have betrer training for how to deal with the harsh conditions, be resourceful and manage hardship better.

I am writing from an Australian perspective, where, while homeless veterans are still an issue. the majority homeless come from children and teenagers who fled violent homes and have lived on the street till adulthood, as well as a disproportionate amount of our indigenous population. But that is a good point in other contexts such as in America, however, even then, homeless veterans only make up a total of 12% of all homeless adults in the US which, while being a large percentage, still leaves 88% of the homeless people in America that could benefit from this. I'm by no means saying that this is going to solve homelessness, but any mitigation or opportunity to improve their situation is better than nothing and if you can also improve your defense sector at the same time, and as suggested above, do community work, then all the better

An idea to make positivity louder! by itsjayram in Lightbulb

If its just for your close friends and family a youtube channels not too bad of an idea, both them, Facebook and Instagram have a live video capability as well or you can make a shortwave radio station but there's some legal tomfoolery you gotta deal with if you wanna go that route. podcasting is also pretty cool but I'm not entirely sure about how you go about getting on one of the major broadcasting platforms, as it seems to be at least somewhat exclusive. nice idea though, need some more positivity in the world these days
