    I am a bisexual guy from Turkey, this is old news.

    From what I heard these days you just go to a psychiatrist and act a bit gay. Then if the psych is not an asshole they give you something called “pink certificate” which makes you exempt from military service.

    But like, I would give my nudes to the government if it means not doing military service. Nobody can make me serve for any country

    My compulsory service is currently on hold because I am studying in university. Me and my boyfriend are planning to go the the military psychiatrist together to get pink certificates for both of us. Once we finish uni and gtfo of family home ofc

      Based (of you).

      Does Turkey not allow for conscientious objection? Or is it just far too difficult to meet their standards?

        conscientious objection

        In a country where saying anything bad to the flag is a crime, that is literal treason. You’ll probably get your citizenship revoked just for asking

    I don’t know for sure but “send gay nudes or get drafted” sounds a little gay.

      Pumpkin, it’s not just any gay nudes of yourself. It’s gay nudes with very specific asks. The kinds of asks you might expect from a patron of your OnlyFans account. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

      That will be next wave of text scams: “You are due to be drafted, unless you send nudes of yourself getting railed up the ass, with your face showing, and either a big smile, or some other expression that demonstrates your pleasure. It must be accompanied by a 500 word essay about how much you enjoyed it. In detail.”

            It’s for men with already broke dicks. Usually these rings come in pairs, with a clockwise and counterclockwise group based on broke-dick-handedness.

            Real large gatherings do end up with further segmentation based on severity of the hook

          Throw in that athenian politician who has a name I never remember… One of the ‘charges’ against him was that he was acting as a bottom despite being older. The athenian pederasty had the older man taking a younger man as ‘appropriate,’ while the reverse was viewed as scandalous.

      That’s the rationalization that MAGAs use to insist that Trump’s and Roger Stone’s political mentor, Roy Cohn wasn’t gay, he just liked to sexually dominate young blond men. That’s not gay at all, it’s just a power thing.

      BTW, just noting that both Trump and Stone were young blond men.

        I’d always heard that he didn’t consider himself homosexual because he argued homosexuals were weak people victimized by society, and he refused to see himself that way.

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn’t matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
