yeah and their government is planning on restricting VPN use because of that, they’re not going to stop being dickheads, brits need to get their voices heard sooner rather than later

the brits really need to learn from the french how to protest. it’s been nearly a month and i haven’t heard of even a measly car being set on fire, just one petition that got a reply akin to “lol, nah”. the french would’ve set a car on fire for less is all i’m saying

it’s so funny to see elmo’s pet AI continuously turn leftist lmao

sure thing buddy, i’ll go ahead and get my grown up tasks going, and you finish your education, and no it’s not slavery i promise

what? (._.) <- this has been my face the entire conversation, sometimes (o_O) <- this

this is not what moving the goal post means. at least look up things before saying them

i would make a rational argument, if i thought my argument would be met with an equally rational response. but so far you haven’t really shown off your ability to do so, so i’d rather outsource that task to someone who at least would make some money from a conversation with you

then go ask an ethics board of your nearby university their opinion, see how many people actually agree with your overtly exaggerated understanding of “child slavery”. because holy shit man, i’m a leftist, so far left i’m an anarchist, i’m all for freedom and consent, and even by my standards what you’re saying is just– wild

genuinely, how old are you?

if your child doesn’t want to brush their teeth, are you going to insist that their personal freedom is the most important thing and let their dental hygiene suffer? that forcing them to brush their teeth is somehow slavery? (as small as it is, it is work after all)

it’s 15h a semester, a kid can do ~1h of helping out around the neighbourhood a week and pass easily. oh no! a child is being made to help people for an hour a week! learning the benefits of helping and gaining experience doing small tasks! literally slavery!

you gotta touch some grass buddy, smell the flowers, talk with parents, talk with teachers, relax

maybe if you did yours you’d understand that “and” means both conditions need to be fulfilled for a statement to be true. so how is that child considered a property of anyone in this situation?

do you think homework is slavery too?

it’s to teach children (and their parents) how to volunteer and where, by assigning public service to the kids. it’s not called public service because volunteering is what it will be once the teaching is done, it’s avoiding confusion of teaching something that is called another word after you finish school

i think you might be overreacting a little bit
