States, yes, probably. Individual cities? Not necessarily

What OP fails to mention are the humongous taxes and upkeep costs

Pokèmon had a neat answer to that by randomizing each Pokèmon’s stats. Unfortunately people bred them to minmax their stats so that mechanic is gradually getting removed

but gaming is fine-tuned to be fun, real life isn’t

I think this is directed as the wrong audience. You can be proud of being working class as much as you want, but if the working class doesn’t accept you as one of them, it doesn’t matter. David Graeber should be talking to working class people here as they are the ones who actually make the choice.

And this is the best case scenario, a user who reads. My mother once wanted to try Linux, so I gave her Mint. She hit a roadblock when she couldn’t view Amazon Prime videos due to DRM issues. Firefox prompted her to enable DRM but she just didn’t look at the prompt. Instead she searched around and said Reddit users said to get an extension (?).

Linux users underestimate how much skill it takes

My only gripe with Mint is that it doesn’t officially support Kde Plasma. But it’s a minor one compares to Debian not packaging printer drivers out of the box despite them being open source. Or Fedora’s lack of any third party software, most notably media codecs. Or Ubuntu’s compulsory use of snap packages.

Safe, absolutely. Pleasant, depends on the game

• smoking indoors is done a lot via electronic cigarettes which produce no noticeable smoke
• slavery is still widely practiced through a loophole; in many countries it’s legal if it’s part of prison work, and many big corporations “rent” convicts for cheap
• child labor is also still very active in certain countries, which many western companies outsource their work to

• Smoking indoors happens all the time because someone who’s good at vaping is unclockable
• Slavery is still legal in the USA as long as it’s prison work (ever wondered why American police always look for excuses to arrest black people?)
• Child labour has never gone away

Smoking indoors, child labor and slavery are all still here, just transformed and under a different coat of paint

everyone cares about when you’re dead

I think sisyphus was a bad example for this idea tbh

Pretty neat moment so long as you ain’t the one driving, or you havr nice music

I do begrudge them. Their service was created through mass copyright infringement

I use Startpage. Also if you have Firefox check out the search engines that come preinstalled

and the guns!
