        I mean, the website is already on the comic. It took longer for you to type your comment than it did for me to get the original image.

        I’m not using any special tools or skills. Just basic reverse image search and keyword searches.

        It’s important for people to know how quick and easy it is, and that we shouldn’t settle for low quality.

        I also think that if Lemmy as a whole started improving its standards of quality, then it would help us stand out from the rest of the internet that just spreads stuff mindlessly.

    Slave owners argued that their slaves received benefits, like a place to sleep and food. Such arguments are only convincing to those who benefit from exploiting the bodies of vulnerable individuals. These arguments exist not to convince others, but to alleviate moral conflict within the person giving the argument.

    The truth is, neither slaves nor animals need an owner’s help to live and thrive, all such can do is prevent their innate expressions and rob their autonomy. Virtually anyone here would sacrifice some food and sleep for the autonomy to choose their own mate, raise their own children, and choose the effect they have on the world.

      My cat chose to move in with me after being feral. She still spends the day outdoors, comes home for dinner, couch sleeping and breakfast.

      She is taken to the vet against her will for vaccinations etc, but that’s really the only loss of autonomy she has.

        Mine followed me inside one day and just said she lived here now. And then two months later I came home one morning and she leads me to under my bed and proceeds to have five kids and say ‘these are our problem now’
