I like Free Software / Open Source but I can't stand the idea of companies using my stuff for parasitic purposes, and I can't believe taking a stance against evil gets projects ostracized from the "freedom" communit

Why would they NOT ask the teens? They're who the whole thing is about. They're the ones being affected. The child is the only one who sees the true effects parenting has on children. How would the parents know? They're just

I'm open to reinterpretation but I simply can't see how it's different. They've objectified a person. It's not a person they know and formed a relationship with. They wanted a "child" object "for&quot

When one of those dogs tries to escape their prison, what happens? They are hunted down and returned to their cell. Best case scenario they find another prison with nicer guards and they are "allowed" to transfer. If the old priso

I have cats who decided they live with and I love them as much as I possibly can. My position is not born of dislike for animals.

I do feel the same way about those people. I can't imagine a scenario where you want anything that bad and are not objectifying it. The simple fact is that the idea of "getting" or "having" people is bad. Doesn&#x

That still fundamentally treats them as objects to be used for self benefit. They didn't value the pet as "Billy", they value the pet as a "the dog". They only value it insofar as it fulfills its expected duties lik

Can't stand people who go out of their way to own animals. If an animal befriends you or you rescue one, that's great. But being a "dog person" and when your old dog dies you feel the need to go out and "get" a

Life is so overwhelmingly prison-like that even the people who claim to love you try to track you down and keep you from escaping. Lobsters dragging each other back into the pot. We should be allowed to be finished with such a horrible exis

I work in manufacturing; my boss could use this lesson real bad. Dude works every single day, 14-16 hours a day. Always going on about how he doesn't have time for this or that, too much going on. Always forgetting stuff because he&#x2

Why in gods name would we just go around creating even more people ON PURPOSE‽ And why do we feel entitled to "have" more people. They are people, they're not some plaything. Property. This is the same problem I have with peo

So they see how bad first-past-the-post is, and they want to make it more first-past-the-posty? Try this: - ranked-choice voting for all elected offices - fewer but larger congressional districts with mathematically ungerrymandered borders

Many of us do not have what we need. Many people are truly suffering. Starving. Nowhere to sleep safely. Persecuted for nonsense reasons. And it's because parasites rule the world, get a free ride on our backs. Almost every problem i

Currently dealing with this at work myself. Boss has the attitude of "I have the right to run MY company however the hell I want, the Bible says so". Job searching sucks.

Not even a single 2 weeks. It is, quite literally, paycheck to paycheck. 5 working people across 2 houses with no non-working people and can just barely survive. The parasites have achieved their goal. We have been reduced to making just en
