if you're posting on SA you could be doing a lot worse at least you're not getting drone bombed also you might live a better material and culinary life or whatever than a medieval king but nothing really beats having a whole nation of people to command and having a whole castle full of people serving you and poo poo.

You couldn't pay me enough money to live like a medieval king. poo poo, wiping my rear end with hay is a dealbreaker and we haven't even gotten to how lovely their beds were, the disease, the inbreeding, the lack of TV, Internet and literature, no climate control etc...

Sounds like a major hassle to me. I'll stick with the material and culinary benefits thx.

Send away to Constantinople for manuscripts that will arrive in a year's time, that sounds MUCH better than downloading one of a million books on my Kindle  Also, I'm totally interested in watching whatever low-budget pre-Shakespeare plays medieval people wrote about farting or sex with chickens or whatever the gently caress medival people were into. But hey at least I'm the ruler of a bunch of toothless peasants... Until they all die of a plague or I'm assassinated by my bastard son that I had with my sister or something.

The social benefits of owning a computer are so stark that you're at a major disadvantage in terms of finding work and accessing information without one. No, owning a pc with internet access doesn't kick you out of the poor club you retarded motherfucker. it isn't 1991 anymore where you're paying $1 a minute on dialup while usuing your $2,500 scifi box with 16mb RAM. The internet, and access to it, are thoroughly embedded in society, and internet access in the developed world is as necessary as having access to a car in many parts of the usa. It's default. It's like owning a refrigerator (hurr) or a television set as a basic standard of living for a great many and constantly increasing number of people. im sorry my friend but youre too retarded to be alowed to live.

Most Americans without children are poor because marketing has created a sickness in their hearts, not because they are actually poor. With the medicaid expansion, most people would be surprised on how little you can live well on when you cut "owning lots of poo poo" out of your definition of living well. Once you add children, that changes a bit.
