Wrist watches used to be women’s wear. Pocket watches were for men until WW1 when they found out that wrist mounted timepieces are super handy when you need to carry a rifle all the time and launch attacks synchronized with walking artillery barrages.

Just like anything else it can be purely for looks or purely for function but the best stuff does both at once. A nice looking precise watch, a pen that looks and writes great, dress shoes comfortable enough to wear all day, an Italian suit with a tactical liner lol

Yeah LED’s are amazing, I just want warmer light from them.

Volunteer firefighting/search teams are basically this irl

I never had student loans but I got my degree without a cent of debt which is nice. The guard/reserves get very similar bennys as active in that regard so honestly it was fairly enjoyable. It also showed me why you don’t want a government in charge of large parts of your life if you can help it. With the layers of paperwork, red tape and regulations it’s amazing how anything gets done at all.

I wonder if some kind of mandatory service would have to be implemented if student loan forgiveness was ever pushed through?

Yep and that’s what I did, but still

It’s like those games that make you make super important, irreversible decisions on role/skills etc before you even play haha
