- echelon 22d agoYou now have a PhD in your pocket. Is that not the miracle of the free market? King Richard II would have killed for an iPhone, PS5, air conditioning, and Uber Eats. He'd swap places with you, and he was king. You don't realize how awesome you have it. Just a hundred years ago your ancestors were (probably) eating rotten meat and drinking unclean water.

- King-Aaron 22d agoKing Richard II would look at those devices you're offering and have you flayed for heresy

- bsoqk 22d agoAre you sure King Richard would do that? I don’t think he would do that at all. Being king is good because you’re above everybody else.
