Sure that part is great. The part that's not is the compulsory part that is in hours conducive only to corporations' benefit and not children. Also the religious garbage spewed in many states. The inequal funding, the terrible teacher's pay and conditions. High school sports as an industry. Lack of any flexibility for children's needs. Long hours at too young and age. It's not bad overall but there are very, very shitty parts of it in dire need of improvement. I'm sure we agree overall anyways.

He isn't arrogant, just actually intelligent.

Of course definitely not the same in terms of violence, but in terms of our inability to have a choice. Slavery is different and "worse" but somehow it rhymes.

What happens if you just don't go?

100%, but it's definitely better than nothing, it makes it much more expensive for the government to surveil. Some VPNs have no logs but most have real time monitoring for compliance reasons, to catch very bad people. It's more useful for "I have private journals" than "I'm a criminal target".

When you make $150k, you usually have to live in a preposterously expensive area and have your entire life structured around your job. You eat better meals and have a better car so you can work better, and if you don't you're fired because someone else will. Student loans are how you got there to begin. It costs a lot money to work.

Your phone or computer may add that data into its screenshots. Use a metadata cleaner if you want to be thorough.

Many African American slaves did not know they were slaves until about age 6, because they were not given work when too young to be useful. Sounds familiar...

If you're really committed, Wine or Quickemu are pretty damn good now. Grasshopper may almost fully work. Worth a shot. If you're generous and it works well enough, you can create bugs for any gaps in behavior and help everyone else. But not everyone has time for it.

It's terrible that the Afghani man was killed, given he fought with the U.S. Green Berets. That is extremely important information and without it his life would have been worthless of course.

I personally believe it's wrong to kill other immigrants, but totally cool with me if NBC doesn't report them unless they fought with the U.S. Green Berets.

You should be using a VPN for your privacy in general. It's not really a piracy tool.
