I know seriously lmao. I mean I know it’s anecdotal, but I’m in the US and my friends and I constantly criticize the US. Most people I know tend to agree with most criticisms, myself included.
Can you explain?
Ah, I never meant to imply that “all slaves are equally treated just as bad”, thereby minimizing the suffering of others.
Of course some forms are far worse than others. And of course we want to help those suffering the most first and foremost.
I meant my comment as a solidarity statement. Not the straw man you crafted, apologies for the misunderstanding.
I mean yeah I can leave whenever I want…I can “choose” my master so to speak, but unless I want to starve to death I’m forced to choose a master.
It’s literally just a nicer form of slavery. If you have a gun pointed to your head with the option “choose a master or I pull the trigger”, is that really a choice? I’d argue not.
Whatchu think wage labor is? Companies lease you for your labor, and can nullify the contract agreement (i.e. fire you) at will. If you work for a wage, you’re a wage slave.

It’s satire. And it’s apparently doing its job swimmingly because people are on here talking about it.
I think their joking.
The poster might both be their own doctor and lying.
What kind of seed is that ?? 😳
One of my favorite trails. The change of landscape along the trail makes for a very beautiful and interesting hike.
Ah yes. The ancient ios vs android debate.
They each have their use cases, and I can understand the justification for using either.
My specific threat model (similar to high profile journalist covering topics that expose wrongdoings in high positions of power) has me using iOS, where the cons of being locked in Apple’s walled garden don’t outweigh the benefits of having a robust, secure operating system right out of the box without much setup and maintenance (i.e. Lockdown Mode).
Other folks’ threat models have android on the winning side. It is highly personal, and making grand statements about one being better over the other is childish.
The only other option that I see as more viable is GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel, but I have yet to make the leap. Maybe soon.
