Sharing my journey into the trade world. So I am trying to use a website where you can trade your body and mind for all sorts of projects. A job-seeking website. I can do websites so I am trying that. Everyone tries to maximize their gain there, so the offers are super low. So low...Plus you have some credits on the website and to apply for a trade you need to use these. And they run out quickly so you have to buy more to apply. Imagine that haha.
Also isn't it interesting that in this society I'd rather not spend time on the TROM projects, that are free, informative, scientific, FOSS, and so on, but I should make website for cryptobros, marketers, scammers, so that I can make a buck to be able to survive. See how this society forces me, and all of you, to become prostitutes?
If this is not slavery, then what is slavery?
Anyway. I am still trying folks.

in reply to Tio • • •Please, please tell me this is some kind of extreme satire.
Are you actually comparing your discomfort of building a few websites for a fee with actual slavery?

Same today- if you're lucky, you may get to choose a nicer owner, that doesn't mean you're not a slave.

in reply to Wu Wei :xfce: :rss: :terminal: • •Friend, as long as I am forced to do the things I do not want to do, and the alternative of not doing them is to starve or be homeless, then yes that is slavery. Forced labor. Can you have any argument against this?

in reply to Tio • • •Now, we do have the technology and tools to at least lower the burden of having to work jobs we don't want to, but somehow this is not happening...
Tio
in reply to thisfro • •So I have no choice but to comply with this society's rules, whatever they are. Else I am fucked.

in reply to thisfro • • •"Just" being forced to do something simply isn't slavery. Slavery is quite a defined term.
