    Plot twist, I binge ate to become fat to avoid conscription.

    Weird thing is, South Korean military recruitors are looking for me for some reason, maybe I’m still not fat enough?

      I’m a disabled veteran and still get calls from recruiters. They are basically salesmen doing cold calls

            Ok I would be down to just turn my hearing aids lower and lower in response lol. The funny thing to me is I’m not much deafer then they make people. I just come pre deafened and they can’t have that. It’s like if the marines wouldn’t take anyone who bought a car they can’t afford and cheats on their girlfriend, like fair enough but I’ve met y’all it’s strange to insist you be the ones to get people to this state.

        I feel bad for recruiters. Someone has to do it but they get shit from everyone.

        Robinson Crusoe is considered the first English language novel.

        Its title when it was first published was:

        The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates. Written by Himself.

        So, you see, we are simply returning to traditional forms.

      Yeah, there’s a legal requirement for Korean citizens to serve in the military. My SO is Korean, and that’s why my kids aren’t Korean citizens…

      Good luck! Eat some more fast food.
