  • It’s not really discomfort. It’s the fact that any benefit technology would give us is being monetized and abused to the point where it’s not enjoyable. I have this phone because employers expect to be able to contact me 24/7, and because governments want to spy on me, and companies want to harvest my data so they can profit from me. In return im given just enough to make it to the next day, and a screen to distract me from how fucking pointless our society is.

    A skilled/educated American worker should be able to retire comfortably at 50 without having to worry about how they’ll afford healthcare.

    Companies make millions off you, then you give a few thousand because they know if they ever paid you a fair share, we’d all realize how much they’ve been robbing us this whole time.










  • Slavery evolved and took on new names, but never disappeared.

    How much do you have saved up, that you’re willing to tap into so that you can live for yourself and others, and not a paycheck? How long could you just exist before the debt becomes crushing? That’s the length of your leash.

    Retired people who live comfortably are basically ‘off leash’ but still confined to the yard. Some people have a 1-2 week ‘leash’. Some may have saved up enough to have a 6-12 month 'leash The rest are the ‘i could stop working whenever I want, but refuse to’ or ‘man I’m so fucking far in debt that I’ll never be able to stop fucking working’

    Most people will never be able to stop working because I’m a slave based economy, a slave must earn it’s food every day, and it’s bed every night.



  • Because I like sitting down after a long day and playing games on my big ass oled tv.

    I don’t like sitting down and turning on my computer so that it can update Windows, then the game itself needs to be updated. Then the game runs like shit because my graphics drivers updated to a newer version that doesn’t work well with the game I’m playing. So then I have to do some research to find the best driver version to downgrade to. So then I finally get the driver issue fixed and start the game, but now my controller isn’t working because the windows update broke the Logitech drivers my controller needs. So now it’s been two hours, I’m tired, I didn’t get to play any games, and I still have more work to do tomorrow to get things working.
