I can get everything I need to comfortably live from a 20km radius, or I could If my country hadn't outsourced clothes production to china. why does my life need to rely on a regime that's half the planet away while destroying the said planet in the process?

The fucking gall to post that on whatever device you are currently using to access the internet.

[–] Val@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't need the internet (or any computer) to be comfortable. In fact It really is a lot more bother than it's worth. I just use it because there's not much else to do.

Also I already have a computer. I don't need another one. and even if I would do you know how many computers are in that 20km radius? because I'm pretty sure it's at least 100.

By the way I'm also a programmer. I spent the entirety of my teenage life learning how to make computers do things because I think they're neat. The internet has changed my life and given me a meaning and a purpose. It's really useful. But I could do without it. Would probably even be happier because I would actually meet people.

read until the end of the sentence silly.

Gosh, it sure doesn't seem like you don't need the internet.

[–] Val@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't need it. I like it. While I have it I'll use it. but I don't need it. The only things I need are water, food, shelter, and companionship. Everything else is just extra. Good to have, but not a necessity.

Have you ever in your life lived without all the "everything else"?

[–] Val@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No. But I bet I could. After all, prisoners do it every day.
