My original spawn was a dictatorship, I wasn’t supposed to be born.
Guess what, I left that dictatorship, now I’m in a different dictatorship (I mean its better, but only slightly better, with unique challenges like having to deal with xenophobes). Isn’t life just so wonderful? 🫠
Please don’t be Earth, give me a Class 3 civilization with a post-scarcity civilization.
China, I guess ?
Probably, but was it first or second their dictatorship?
let’s hope grandma is up to the challenge, after all, she’s probably 28 by now.
“I didn’t do 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 4 years of residency to be called ‘sir,’ baby.”
And since this is America.
“Take on 500k in student loan debt.”
That would suit in firstworldproblems community. People in the US don’t get it how lucky most of them are.
spoken like a person who has never stepped foot in the US in the last 8 years.
Still better than South Africa where you get to mine nickel as a child and possibly either die in a cave which entrance has crumbled in, or die afterwards of toxic air pollution to your body due to mining.
Could still happen in the US during their lifetime. Never give up hope.
It has, and recently.

U.S. authorities have accused another sanitation company of illegally hiring at least two dozen children to clean dangerous meat processing facilities, the latest example of illegal child labor that officials say is increasingly common.
The Labor Department asked a federal judge for an injunction to halt the employment of minors by Tennessee-based Fayette Janitorial Service LLC, saying it believes at least four children were still working at one Iowa slaughterhouse as of Dec. 12.

MAGA dipshit: “How do I get out of this third world country simulator”
“Lol you can’t, you voted for this”
That’s bad RNG, but there are worse spawn locations.
Speaking of which my youngest sons contact for his mom is Spawn Point and I think that is hilarious.
Tell me about it…
People’s Republic of China (I was born there, later moved abroad). The only thing keeping me sane right now, is the variety of entertainment I can obtain. Can’t imagine having to watch WW2 tv drama about resistance against imperial japan (watched too many of those), or like romance dramas, or some show about some old dynasty in history, those are basically the only things that exist in Chinese media. And its so cliche, there isn’t even anything like the GoT style thing where “any character can die” trope happens, I’ve watch so much of those dramas as a kid, I could literally predict plot points.
There is HK drama which is slightly better, but still they follow similar recipes.
Authoritarianism really limits how much creativity there is in writings and media.
And yes I know VPNs exist, but would I even have knowledge of VPNs in the other timeline where I remained in mainland China?
And that’s only the access to information aspect.
There is literally no “mental health awareness” in China like there is in the west. You are either viewed as “lazy” or you’re “completely insane”, there is no in-between. Nobody would give a shit about depression, “stop being lazy” is what you would get told. You can shit on the US all you want, but at least the Americans with Disabilities Act is a thing, wheelchair ramps are a thing. In China? Nope. Very ableist mindset. And if you don’t ger married? You get basically socially ostricized. If I was still in China, I’d probably have either killed myself or killed some CCP Goons (the cops) in a fit of rage because I’ve lost my sanity in that state-capitalist society, then be sentenced to death penalty.
Healthcare? LMFAO Nope. Everything is just as expensibe as in the US. But you also have to compete with a billion people on jobs.
Also, Hukou restricts where you can settle, because kids can’t go to a public school in a place that’s not where your Hukou is registered. Its kinda like undocumented immigrants in the USA, except its in your own country, your own borders, like you’re supposed to be a “Citizen”, but apparantly, Hukou is like the intra-country’s citizenship.
Overtime pay? Nope
Unions? Nope. I mean unless you are talking about the CCP’s “union” or whatever BS organization that doesn’t do shit. 无牙老虎 basically (tiger with no teeth)
Workplace safety? Nope.
If your employer refuse to pay you after you worked there for a month, well good luck buddy, there is no “Deparment of Labor” to help you with that (there probably is de jure someone you can complain to, but de facto nobody would do anything).
Toxic masculinity, “You’re a boy, stop crying” (To be fair, Americans also have this mentality, but its more prevalent in China).
LGBTQ? If you are transgender, oh my, you are gonna get so ridiculed by people. They say stuff like: “男人扮女人， 成和体统” (“Men pretending to be women, wtf” actually idk how to translate “成和体统”), or they’ll call you “变态” (“Perverted”).
As bad as the US is, if you’re a white dude you can just easily move out of your maga infested shithole and go to a liberal city and improve their life by 70% (well, you can’t fix the collapsing economy tho, but at leat the social aspects and “age-verification laws” aren’t a thing (not yet at least)). In China? Good fucking luck. Aside from the very minority of people who have progressibe values, its a conservative-infested shithole, on par with magaland (republican states) in the US.
The US is about average on the good/bad scale (at least when it comes to what happens inside the country,), considering how evil and cruel humans around the world can be.
Of course EU is better than the US, but acting like the US is the worst place on the planet is really a privilaged mindset.
Djibouti.
Are you one upping me or smth?
You asked for worse so I gave you are small lesser known dictatorship in the Horn of Africa as an example. Hell I think even North Korea would be better than Djibouti.
Wait I am just be autistic, completely misunderstood you saying tell me about it.
No worries, friend. I didn’t know this factoid and it actually sparked my interest. Might look into it later.
And yeah, I’m pretty autistic too, so no prob. Was just joking around. :)
If you want a weird place to start look up their national anthem on YouTube, shittiest quality it’s great.
Sure. Not like I got anything better to do. Thanks for the recommendation!
Surely Chile isn’t the worst one either.
Agreed. There are always worse places and better places. Believe it or not, I’m actually grateful for living in a us vassal state/economic sandbox game. Genuinely. Most of the world has it worse off… in the material terms all those ads tell us to obsess about, at least.
“And your birth just put them in crippling debt that they will never be able to recover from. Enjoy life!”
Just sell the baby
Still born in a first world country though
Are we still clinging to that claim, at this stage?
Yeah, the US have a crazy man at the helm but a very strong and resilient ship. Not the best in every regard but it’s still a very good country to be born in.
I haven’t seen a doctor in fifteen years. I haven’t been able to afford a car since my last one died seven years ago. I’m thirty years old having to split rent three ways. This country is a labor camp with a first world facade.
You are still better of than most of the world. Not saying that you have to accept the way they require you to live just because other’s got it worse.
That’s kinda like saying “China is a good place to be born in, at least its not North Korea”.
Sure, the US isn’t nearly the worst, but I would never choose to be born here if I have, say, Norway to choose from.
No. Depends on the area and your minority status.
Born in the middle of the Appalachias? You’re likely to be more poor than many “3rd world” countries with little to no access to modern medicine or education.
Born in a red state as a trans person not in a major city? Get ready to get shit on by most people and your local government and maybe killed if you’re too open!
Get born in the wrong parts of NC or similar? Better hope a “once in a lifetime” storm doesn’t blow through or you’ll have tons of coal ash poisoning your yard and life in general.
There is a MASSIVE difference in quality of life across the country and it’s not all good.
To be fair, you do have the legal ability to relocate to a better place within the country. Its much harder to leave a developing country.
Inb4 someone informs you you’re wrong
“Abort me now plz”
Ropemaxxing 💪
“Not without insurance little guy!”
Pfft that was illegal 9 months ago.
ah, the lusekofte is a balancing patch. it makes sense now.
lusekofte
luse meatball?
