Did you consider the workers at foxcon, where suicide is so prevalent they have had to make multiple changes to the building including massive fucking nets outside each window to stop jumpers, when you last bought nearly any bit of tech? Pretty much every device with cell data connectivity sources parts from them, and so do many other pieces of tech. How about all the children in rare materials mines where materials for tech are sourced?

Personally I find this argument highly hypocritical. The basic fact that you're posting here all but guarantees you have chosen comfort, not even actual wellbeing, over others lives too.

Edit: and to be clear, so do I. I just find it darkly funny when people pretend that their personal line in the sand is a difference of whether or not they do at all rather than simply a difference in degrees of separation. It's nearly impossible to exist in modern society without doing this sort of thing, so get over yourself.

I'm not killing other people. That's a very distinct line (which is usually a capital crime, unless you're hired by the army).
You are trying to blur this line. Disgusting.

The fuck I am.

You're the one that equivocated military service (and implied killing through it) to simply

[choosing] wellbeing over others' lives

Choosing wellbeing over others' lives is the thing almost all of us do almost fucking constantly, and explicitly what I was talking about.

Military service and murdering people is not.

Edit: Draw your line in the sand wherever you want, murder is a perfectly valid line to have and one I agree with.

Just don't pretend that you don't choose wellbeing over others' lives too. If your issue is with military service and murder, stick with that.
