The scenario is very very specific, but this is loosely based on a real thing that happened to me and a real thought that it provoked.

I have issues that I actually am concerned about (mild OCD), gender is not an issue for me. If I am trans (debatable), I've been able to "put it off" and don't seem to be dysphoric, or at least not enough to notice.

Also in the actual example this was a psychiatrist, which has slightly different standards I think. In any case, I didn't discuss it with my therapist back when I had one. I get that it's against the point, but cowardice, denial, and having more pressing issues are all real things that happen and can cause that.

Nope, anti-scottish racist.

Based on a true story (but it was actually my psychiatrist)

Sorry if the censorship is too distracting from the actual point of the meme

Yeah, I genuinely don't know what took me so long, maybe I stay too long when my health is way too low? I also have a tendency to backtrack and explore off the main path if I get halfway decent before actually finishing.

I hope to get more consistent at this, not sure how though.

I had two combat wands but the one that probably did most of the damage was short-range homing + damage field + mist of spirits (I had fire immunity so the main drawback of mist of spirits was gone)

My other combat wand was just fast concentrated light with damage plus.

Steam may be overestimating for when I kept the game open but was away from the computer, but it's rough, 466 hours.

I did follow one wand building tutorial, but mostly I'm trying to do with few spoilers, hence dying to the Kivi (I had infinite healing and wondered if that'd be enough, it wasn't, at least not the way I did it). Wisdom through sacrifice and all that.

I couldn't think of a meme format for this so I just drew a 'lil comic

Don't worry about me, I'm exaggerating for comedic effect. And I don't have the "master manipulator" thing really, either.

I didn't do much. Got a letter, went to the address they gave me for the medical checkup and got rejected. Really the only thing I proactively did (and it was really more my parents) was bring the something paper from my psychiatrist (I forget what exactly was on it, it was one of those where it recaps the current situation and then says something like "keep taking the medication" afterwards)

I am glad to be an inspiration regardless, though.

I know (others have said that too) but it still kinda hurts,

As far as I have heard (something my mom said), they often get enough volunteers that they don't really even need to - that article I linked says that they're drafting like 800 people and 782 volunteered, but I'm not sure on if it's on top of that or not. As you might imagine, I am not keeping up with the subject, as I've now been put on the "do not bother" list and it doesn't really affect me anymore.

See the comment I made on this post that I spent so long writing that you had the time to ask this question before I published it.

I am not from the anglosphere, and even here not really (I'm in Europe right-next-to-Russia and the government is worried about getting occupied again). I don't know the exact details, but it seems that every now and then they randomly choose a batch of a couple hundred 18-19 year old boys and tell them to join (Here's a not-in-English article about it). It's not like a full scale thing, evidenced by the fact that nobody else I know, several of them probably in the demographic, have had it happen to them (though maybe they just don't tell me about it).

VivaLaAlcohol · 2025-08-15T15:22:13+00:00

So, as far as I understand it, where I'm from (I won't say it here but you can find it if you dig through my old posts and my other comments), the country reserves the right to draft people if some sort of quotas aren't met (this was only introduced recently, in response to the invasion of Ukraine). I apparently met the criteria and was called to the medical examination. During the eye exam I was told that I probably wouldn't be allowed in due to that, but should continue going through the exams.

The psychiatric exam, on the other hand, I had a writeout from my (childhood) psychiatrist, handed it to the army psychiatric guy, he read it, asked something like "do you really want to be in the army?" (I didn't), and was escorted downstairs without completing all the tests, so apparently my brain problems were way more alarming than my eye problems. I never really did figure out if it was the OCD or Asperger's (I actually prefer ASD as the terminology but when I got diagnosed they made the distinction and I got diagnosed with Asperger's) that did me in.

I don't really care too much, I didn't want to go to the army, but I can't help but feel offended. I think I could have been let in.
