The US saying how free it is compares to a small guy telling you how much of an alpha male he is. Unreliable narration
This is what happens when you spend your whole existence corporate brown-nosing. Every forced chuckle at the bosses bad joke, every faux-optimisitic email, eventually rots your soul.
You end up so dishonest that you become unable to tell reality from your own manufactured optimism, and it spreads to all parts of your life.
You become unable to acknowledge hard truth about your relationships with other people, and instead just optimise for the aesthetics of lukewarm niceties instead of anything with substance.
Your kids think you are a distant loser, Your wife loses respect for you when you completely fail to register her emotional needs. You still merrily greet them every morning, but are unable to see the disinterested response.
She starts to quietly seek fulfilment elsewhere, you wallpaper over your own instincts with “maybe she’s tired” and “she can have her own friends!”. The well-trained optimism reflex is so embedded, you can no longer comprehend doing anything else.
After time the inevitable dragged out divorce comes and goes, you have a moment of reflection, alone in your new downsized economy apartment. You like it, it’s all you really need after all. You can do whatever you want, and that makes a nice change.
You look at your Windows Phone on the bare table. The battery died after you were on it to the utilities people all day. You convince yourself an iPhone would have died way sooner. Plus, they are so ugly anyway.
You pick it up to appreciate the glossy front. You see the face of an old, broken man smiling vaguely back at you.
You cry.
Both of those things, plus also that due to Linux is being best served via the command line, so a “GUI” like a window would be unnecessary

A discord server with absurd amounts of over emphasised text, making nothing stand out, filled with emojis and broken up into different messages and sections at the exactly worst places for legibility.
No messages are answered in any channel, and you get amazing sense of all of the technology we have to communicate but zero ability to use it.
Signal is great. Stop being overzealous
Telegram isn’t, so you must be very confused indeed
Just a normal, well-adjusted lemmy comment definitely not made by a chronically online person with little to no real life experience…
Human rights, for murderers, all the way to people who marginally disagree with you politically is the foundation of a civilised society.

It’s always an interesting discussion when we raise the question of:
If people who are born with disabilities and intellectual impairments get special treatment, what is the threshold for being so stupid that you can’t be considered responsible for your actions (or be expected not to be manipulated or misled)?
There is a strong argument that people who aren’t that smart can’t really be held accountable for their actions, as its beyond their control.
Obesity is a bodily state based on inputs and outputs
Re read the first line - not what i meant
If someone creates something to trade it for goods and services, thats fine, even if that means its free at the point of consumption.
If someone creates something for their own reasons, you have no entitlement to it. Please try to be less emotional with your responses, this is a discussion platform meme page after all.
Well you dont deserve anything that someone else has made…
Xenophobia is irrational fear. There is plenty of rational fears, particularly for working class people who see their existence challenged on a daily basis.
What the general narrative suggests (and what you seem to be approaching here too) is disingenuously characterising much of this fear as one of superiority - or in other words predatory, superior views and behaviour. It’s nearly always fear of the unknown, or of threats, whatever those might be.
Could you unpack this a bit for discussions sake
