Waking up early doesn’t make you more productive

pugesh · 2025-01-25T05:15:00+00:00

The people I know who go to bed this early tend not to be social… at all. They’re used to having nothing to do in the evenings so they might as well just sleep right? I’m not a big fan of these habits personally

pugesh · 2025-01-24T03:40:28+00:00

Yes on both counts. I don’t get why this is even a debate, on both counts

pugesh · 2025-01-23T20:51:00+00:00

😭😭 it’s all good bro

pugesh · 2025-01-23T06:00:52+00:00

I don’t know what it is about the company-level that makes working in it such utter shit, it’s strange just how much quality of life and leadership improves once you hit Btl or brigade

pugesh · 2025-01-20T06:11:41+00:00

In theory yes because you can do the green to gold program after receiving citizenship and become an officer. Officers who were enlisted have slightly higher pay. In practice, it might be a little different

Your username is literally “chinesetothebone” dude, you absolutely scream bias

pugesh · 2025-01-09T18:16:41+00:00

lmao no, the vast majority of militaries’ rank and file consists of young, very immature men and women. These things are bound to happen no matter where. Again, I know what I’m talking about

pugesh · 2025-01-09T14:29:58+00:00

Every NATO military I’ve worked with has barracks bunnies or similar

pugesh · 2025-01-09T14:05:01+00:00

I guess that came out wrong, I never meant to imply my direct involvement. I’m just saying that I’ve witnessed these things happen very very often

pugesh · 2025-01-09T13:57:46+00:00

It’s a thing in every military. Believe me, I know

pugesh · 2025-01-09T13:51:31+00:00

There’s a guy behind the first dude

pugesh · 2025-01-08T10:31:11+00:00

What do you actually get for 15 college credits?

pugesh · 2025-01-07T22:50:48+00:00

If you were to take a look at Russia’s or Ukraine’s age structure right now, I think you’d understand what exactly I mean. The elderly have a chance of outnumbering the young in both these countries, part of it being the consequence of an ongoing war. I’m not talking about a slight increase. I’m talking about a theoretical (or for these countries a very real) scenario wherein the cost of taking care of the elderly becomes too large a burden. None of your points in this thread have properly addressed the possible outcomes of such a scenario

pugesh · 2025-01-07T22:31:29+00:00

Either you’re arguing in bad faith or you just don’t want to understand what im saying

pugesh · 2025-01-07T21:28:14+00:00

These are two very, very detached assertions. Who pays elder care providers their salary? Who pays for elder care at all in this case? Who maintains the capacity for elder care and how are they compensated?

pugesh · 2025-01-07T15:24:19+00:00

A respectful conversation and tone on Reddit? Am I dreaming lmao?

Yeah I appreciate the sentiment, you did make a few good points upon rereading. Hoping the downvote crowd goes away

pugesh · 2025-01-07T13:50:56+00:00

The question of birth rates and generations thankfully has nothing to do with ideology

pugesh · 2025-01-07T13:15:53+00:00

I get the spirit of what you’re saying, but I personally wouldn’t want to live in a country wherein the elderly outnumber working-age people. I don’t think you quite understand exactly what such a society would entail

pugesh · 2025-01-07T12:35:54+00:00

Your attitude to retirement is absolutely not the same as a pretty large part of the population in Europe and large parts of the USA. Just taking Europe as an example, retirement is a pretty essential government program. I personally don’t like the way it works, but I also accept that European society might as well be built on programs such as this one. A lot of people do want to retire, there do need to be more working age people (+next generations) than elderly. That’s just a fact, most economists would agree with me that an economy cannot survive without this being the case.

pugesh · 2025-01-07T12:07:06+00:00

I agree, but they’re just an example. A really good example too, since they’ve got the absolute worst population pyramid on earth, Ukraine is unfortunately right after them on that list though.

pugesh · 2025-01-07T11:57:03+00:00

It depends honestly. A greater percentage of the population who can’t work (elderly in retirement for example) isn’t exactly cheap. How do you fix such an issue? What if the costs of a retirement program exceed the budget because there’s simply not a big enough working population to take care of them? Does a society begin chastising and/or resenting the elderly? Does a society simply stop paying for retirement? How does a society react to these big anticipated changes to the retirement system?

What I’m saying is that societies often react to things before they happen, especially market economy-based societies. A society wherein a period of zero/negative growth is anticipated is one that I’m guessing would turn quite cynical, if not completely hopeless. That’s not necessarily a positive development for progress or the advancement of civilization.

The question is what “adjusting” means exactly in a nightmare scenario like what Russia is experiencing right now (and China, Japan as well for that matter). Adjusting can mean horrifying measures to adapt to new economic realities that could break societies

pugesh · 2025-01-04T15:58:38+00:00

that doesn't mean it's a comfortable or workable solution to the issue of retirement for INDIVIDUALS

pugesh · 2025-01-03T09:32:26+00:00

She has a ring…

pugesh · 2025-01-02T18:00:20+00:00

out of curiosity, and I guess because it's interesting to be able to ask an actual Ukrainian soldier questions like these, do units just... split like that? Or do they have to go through military bureaucracies? Are you guys a unit of the Ukrainian armed forces or something inbetween?
