I assume Facebook runs on Linux, as does the rest of the internet?

I wish Linux distros use a license that prevents this nonsense.

(I know including ethics in a license is a bad idea, but still...)

Harlem in New York or Harlem west of Amsterdam?

I don't think capitalism/communism is a binary thing. I think (hope at least) there are more options.

I also think that the problem with smartphones is that they are designed to get you "hooked". The companies doing that are hoping to influence your behaviour so you will buy more of your stuff. And because we live in a society where capitalism is seen as holy and just, we let them.

I think we don't really have a free choice anymore. Companies know how to always win, they are too good at influencing through advertisement and design choices. And without actual free choice capitalism does not work. Anyone telling you that we have a free choice to not buy a product or to not use a smartphone, lies. A choice is not free if companies can and do spend millions of dollars to influence my choice.

Also, capitalism requires a free market to function. But a true free market will always end in a monopoly, because the biggest company can always buy the other smaller companies, again breaking the free market. So there is a catch-22 problem in the system.

TL;DR - Capitalism is slavery, except if you are the CEO.

You don't hate smartphones; you hate capitalism.

I just make warm chocolate milk, let the weed stay in there for a bit while heating up, then strain and enjoy. I quite like the grassy undertone in the milk.

Does my double-ended dildo count as one or two? Does size matter? Does a tarzan with bunny ears count as one or two? Does my hand count? How about a cucumber?

So many questions.

I'm happy to live in a developed country when I see this. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Exclusivity in a romantic relationship is a social construct. Look into ENM. It might not fit you or it just might.
