    Why the FUCK do you think you’re entitled to get the free labor of bakeries working hard to make bread, farmers farming to create food, and people building technology to make your life easier?

    No, you don’t have to work. Go live in the forest and farm your own food. Maybe then when a lion attacks you you’ll realize the value of modern civilization.

      That’s true, but the whole point of technology and modern civilization was to make us lazy and somehow people are working even more? Except for like 5 people.

        Most people in the west can work less, if they are willing to sacrifice comfort, material goods etc.

          Most people can live without teeth and with cancer killing them, while eating cheap ramen for the whole month staring at a wall, sitting naked on the floor, in a house without a roof and walls.

        You ARE working much less. Have you tried working in a farm for 12 hours a day? You wanna compare serving coffee in Starbucks with farming for months then losing it because there’s frost?

          Who TF is working on a farm 12 hours a day? What’re you watching grass grow? My mom’s family has a farm and I have worked there before and it’s pretty fun actually and all the usual work is done by 2 pm. Feeding animals, cutting grass for them using a spinny wheel thingy. Getting eggs from chickens, milking cows, ploughing the fields is done by tractors and only thing you have to do is throw seeds around. And it’s not like you’re doing the same thing for 8 hours straight. So yeah I’d say it’s more work. I’d much prefer doing that over graphic design for 8 hours. As for the frost, well, just grow shit where it’s not cold I guess.

            Im pretty sure 95% of farmers would aggressively disagree with you. Lots of farmers in my country burn out from over working. Unless you are talking about a hobby farm for personal use

              Unless if they’re slave farms you’re talking about. Then i haven’t seen any other farms like that, maybe it’s just a country to country thing. And it’s not a hobby farm it’s a proper farm, they sell milk eggs and and the field produce. Even got mango trees. Sure it’s a lot of work but it’s not overwhelming and they take a lot of breaks and even chat with neighbours for hours. And my grandma’s 80 and still milks the cows and walk them in the field and stuff. Not because someone tells her to, but because she likes it.

      Because if FOSS exist he imagines that also people would like to do real actual work just for fun!
