There is literally no reason we should have to bust our asses to enjoy decent lives, not with all the modern technology and energy we have at our disposal.

Thank you Farcaster algorithm for showing me ideas that challenge me once in a while. I don’t generally speak up on stuff I disagree with on here unless I truly believe someone has a potentially damaging harmful opinion, but the algorithm pushes me to that edge every so often which is good for me to get out of my comfort zone.
