In general, serious commitments of any kind limit your life choices. "Entrapment" is when someone else tricks you into it.
Yeah, but she's right in that employers definitely exploit that sometimes. They know you can't just walk away from a raw deal on a whim because while you may be willing to risk yourself, they're keenly aware that most aren't willing to risk their children's food and shelter
and healthcare.
This is only true in backwater countries though...
yeah, backwater shit all over
Op didn't say "entrapment," but you are correct that word has a different meaning.
By OP I mean the poster of this lemmy thread with the headline, "Entrapment seems about right," not the creator of the tweet.
Thank you. Every choice in life limits other choices. Yes when you have children, you then have to care for them. What lifestyle you must live is up to you though. The ones that must keep up with whoever is the 'in group' are always going to have a harder time than those to learn to go for what they really want and need in life and not what a TikTok tells them they do.
