I took a gun, pointed it at another person, pulled the trigger and it killed that person.

ITT people having their minds blown by the fact the creator and the creation are two different things.
Mac as a laptop, steamdeck for gaming. There is a Win 11 VM on my unraid server for the occasional poke at something but I can't say I miss windows in any way....
This is easy: would I be going there daily if I didn't have to per the employers requirements?
If yes: then it's my problem not the employer If no: it's the emplpyer's problem not mine
I do.
Nope, not really.
Life's about more than money.
Hang on... That's sabotage. Straight up. That's a criminal offence no?
People have completely lost track of what wealth looks like and it's not their fault. Using UK numbers cause that's where I live:
You go to work at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week, in a culture that's indoctrinating you that you should be thankful you even have these horrible work conditions and pay, you spend half of more of your income on a landlords mortgage payments + extra, and for what? So you can't even afford to buy a damn games console outright and drown your sorrows in a virtual world?
Yeah no shit their overspending, they just want to live a little of their life when they can but they can't even afford to do that.
And to everyone that's about to write "well if they would budget better" kindly fuck into the sun. First of all not everyone should be an accountant in order to live comfortably. A lot of people simply don't have the skills necessity to do it. But more important, a full time job should be enough to provide for yourself, your family (1 spouse 1 child) and a mortgage on a house or apartment suitable for this family of 3. Not because I feel like people are entitled to this, fast from it, but because this was the norm 55 years ago. This was the normal for my grandparents. Society is supposedly evolving. The first world countries where this was the norm have, supposedly, grown their economies by A LOT. How can it be possible that the majority is worse off than 55 years ago in a more modern society and in now a lot more advanced economies.
But the answer is very simple really isn't it. You can't afford a house or a car made in the last decade while the rich are having literally privatised space races. Space races were exclusively the hobbies of nuclear superpowers, funded by taxpayers. How exactly did private individuals summon up the funds to advice this?
Well, you fill in the dots...
