Allen really is the saving grace of the Order who kept smacking his comrade's hands away from the easier but morally questionable acts, if not for him:

- Kanda would have taken Lala's heart before Guzol passed away

- Fou would have been left to die

- Miranda would have been killed by the combined power of three Generals to make sure the Egg was destroyed

- asked his fellow Exorcists to kill him if he became a Noah and was judged to be a threat to spare Komui from giving that order

- then told them it wouldn't be necessary because he would stop the Fourteenth by which he probably alludes to killing himself to spare his friends from that

- Alma and Tokusa would have definitely gotten killed and this feels the most hurtful because it wasn't even for "a greater good" just the Order wanting to bury the truth after betraying Alma MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE THAT to save face and the blame the entire thing on Allen

My boy singlehandedly held the moral fabric of the Order together and all he got in exchange was disrespect.

Convenience isn't bad because of some inherent value in toil or it rots your soul. Convenience is bad because it often comes at the cost of an exploited underclass. I don't care if someone wants to taxi their meal to their house instead of making it themselves or even driving to the restaurant themselves. I care that meal delivery apps underpay their workers (they don't even consider them their workers), provide no workplace protections, and prey on their desperation.

The desire for convenience is a morally neutral thing (no matter how many capitalists want their workers to see unproductivity or aversion to the "grind" as a moral failing). Companies that sell you only convenience by making it worse for yourself and for others are not.

I'm sorry but this is the exact thing I was talking about when I said "convenience does not rot your soul."

You talking to a person over the counter to order food at a restaurant is not an anymore meaningful interaction than talking to someone who delivered that food. Delivery and take-out have always existed. That option to pay more for that convenience has always existed. The major difference now is that most restaurants no longer employ people in-house to do delivery, because it's being done by contracted gig workers who get absolutely no benefits or protections. The major difference now are the working conditions.

I agree societal connections are good, but you just going outside to order food and the coming back is not meaningfullly participating in society. Removing deliveries or any sort of accesibility service (cafes not having wifi for example) will not force people to interact with strangers if they don't want to do that. Convenience facilitates people who already don't want to interact with others, but convenience isn't what's making people lonely! You cannot passively consume your way to community.

Most people aren't gonna talk or build relationships with folks in that restaurant. They're gonna eat and leave, and that's less "community building" than someone who ordered take-out so they can stay home to participate in an online book club or zoom their loved ones in another country. Do not romanticize past toils and lack of accessibility. Convenience and accessibility leads to people having more time to connect with each other, not less.

i really do think we should substitute gacha games instead for like. the random wikipedia article button. gives you the same "yay i got something new and exciting!" feeling without spending any money and you get to learn something new on wikipedia. the problem is that its missing a cute little storage menu where you can see all the links to different articles youve "collected"

[brainrotdotorg]

so many people could be weaned off of gambling if we just gamified that website a *little* bit
