The only problem that can't be solved by adding a layer of abstraction - too many layers of abstraction.

But why though?

To upset you, personally.

where did you get this picture of me and how did you know what OS I'm running (btw)

Cool story. I don't respect the property claims of those authoritarian regimes, either.

I'd argue it should be the default position.

Why should I respect this elaborate system of property rights that was largely built by and for terrible human beings who actively sought to tyrannize others for their own gain?

How much of the wealth held today can be traced back to morally illegitimate if not outright criminal beginnings?

Evil Dead: The Game. 3k hours in the past year and still my daily goto. Probably the most underrated game of all time.

No need to apologize to me, I'm not the one making a fool out of myself.

Educated indeed. Lmao.

There are, sure. And you are going to cherry-pick the ones that allow you to feel a smug and very much unearned sense of superiority.

lol it's really not, at all. every generation tells themselves this and it's always bullshit.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Computers, math, cooking, cleaning, exercise, eating properly.

It's just another in a long list of things that some grown-ass adults act like is somehow beyond them because that's easier than trying.

Definitely not unique to any generation.

that's only an option if they are obvious about it
