Sure, go out for a walk into town or the forest, or a bike ride. Meet nobody who wants to talk to you, take photos that nobody wants to see or just sit and listen to birdsong. The one thing I have gained out of going outside frequently is the realization that we are one organic system, every plant, every animal, unified by the fact that every living creature has a finite life span. So my body too will rot and decay, I will no longer exist in the present and that is beautiful, for however much I hate my life, it is no different from that of a squashed bug on the dirtpath.
Wouldn't mixing with a wide variety of ages from 18 to 118 be better?
You will work in the NHS or the firefighters and so on, so you will certainly engage with community members of all ages and from all wakes of life. For a year of mandatory service that everybody is meant to complete, 18 is arguably the best time to do it.

When you walk on a public road past a hospital do you think to yourself "they stole my money to build this"? You have rights and duties as a citizen. Your service benefits the community as a whole.
Also why is the stick to make people do it a fine (so that the rich will just pay if their kids don't want to do it)?
WOW thank you! It’s super rare for anyone, let alone a stranger on the internet to care and ask. I appreciate you. You have some personality traits you come across very seldom and I hope you preserve them. I'll just put it in spoiler tags because it's long.
computers, geography, language learning, cycling come to mind. tbh i find that question really hard to answer when asked directly, maybe because i kind of don't enjoy my life in general.
I am using 2.99.18 (non release, unstable build). Non destructive editing has landed. You can make adjustments through the usual menus and then enable/disable the adjustment under layer effects.
Tbh when I get caught in the rain I just embrace it and enjoy the feeling
