[–]Skolastigoat 8 points9 points ago

so they hire and pay humans to build their great catty works?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

Egyptians never employed slaves. It was everyone duty living on the Pharaoh land. http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/slaves.htm

[–]snoharm 8 points9 points ago

How does it being everyone's duty distinguish it from slavery? Doesn't that make the entire society slaves to the aristocracy?

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points ago

well you pay taxes, the alternative is fines/jail. They worked on "projects" (I read that they were paid and fed and it was for the duration of a year) the alternative being death. For their time they were one of the most "liberal" societies having equal right between men/women and no persecution of gay ppl. The point is the Moses story has no historical background to it, and it's one of the biggest reasons people associate Egyptians with slave ownership.

[–]snoharm 7 points8 points ago

There's a large difference between having some of the money from your wages (which can come from absolutely anything you can make money on) garnished by the state and the state telling you what you have to work on.

If, at any point, someone tells you what you have to do with your body and you have no alternatives, you're either a prisoner or slave. That's how that works.

[–]qpqpdbdbqpqp 9 points10 points ago

Conscription?

[–]snoharm 0 points1 point ago

I personally hold that conscription is a form of slavery, but that may be my old libertarianism leaking.

There's a large difference between having some of the money from your wages (which can come from absolutely anything you can make money on) garnished by the state and the state telling you what you have to work on.

But the modern state can draft you if they decide to, so the state can make you a full slave if it wishes to. Also with the amount of regulation in the U.S. they can deny you from working if they decide not to give you a business license or one of the many other licenses you need to work legally(See this video for more info). So if you piss off the wrong bureaucrat you aren't allowed to do what you want to for work. Also the only difference I see from taxation and slavery is the amount taken. Slaves just have 100% of their income taken instead of 20%. Is it better? I don't know, but in both circumstances someone else is imposing their will on you and taking your labor by force. So if a slave master let his slaves become 80% more free than they were, that is nice, but they are still slaves. If I really owned my body 100% then I would also own the work my body produces 100%. Because with out the fruits of labor life isn't even livable.

[–]snoharm 0 points1 point ago

Slaves just have 100% of their income taken instead of 20%. Is it better? I don't know

Yes, it is quantitatively better.

And being denied a business licence isn't akin to slavery either. There's a middle ground between laissez-faire and slavery which we call capitalism.

[–]zxcv73 0 points1 point ago

Maybe you should look up the definition of Capitalism.

[–]MBSquared 1 point2 points ago

They are similar to humans!

[–]izwald -5 points-4 points ago

I was just going to say the same

[–]Procreate_Rapidly 94 points95 points ago

When I was a kid, I had a cat that didn't like being in water; in fact, it didn't like OTHER people being in water.

When I took a bath, it would cry (yowl) and attempt to drag, yes, drag me out of the tub by biting my finger or knee and hauling me out. Obviously it never worked, because I was an order of magnitude more massive, but it was still cute.

[–]Saganomics 71 points72 points ago

D'awww. "No, get out of there! You'll drown!"

[–]Zerothe0 19 points20 points ago

[–]softmod 6 points7 points ago

My first dog was a border collie and she hated when we went in the pool. She would go nuts trying to get us out. Then once we got out, she would bark at the water for another couple minutes.

[–]Bainemo 38 points39 points ago

We prefer the term "cat owners".

HEYOOOOOOO

[–]TheNr24 6 points7 points ago

Human owners.

[–]TiLun 18 points19 points ago

It's as if the cat says "that'll do human".

[–]ReadyThor 6 points7 points ago

More like "KTHXBYE".

The cat uprising is beginning. No one is safe anymore.......

[–]sprz 13 points14 points ago

Yes, they're going to take over and enslave us, humiliate us by forcing us to handle their feces, and cater to their every need.

Oh wait..

[–]Rascouri 3 points4 points ago

I for one welcome our cat overlords... until they develop thumbs, at that point humanity would have outlives its usefulness

[–]BAMspek 12 points13 points ago

I was watching I think The Science of Dogs and they were looking at domestic dogs vs. wolves and comparing problem solving skills. Food was put in a cage and the domestic dogs would give up and wait for the person while the wolves (who were raised in captivity like the dogs) would try and figure out how to open it themselves. Thought that was interesting.

[–]TehScrumpy 9 points10 points ago

The noise that that cat makes in the video is a thing of early morning nightmares

(side note: I own spoiled cats)

[–]beanso 1 point2 points ago

Protip: The cats are spoiled because you spoil them. Don't spoil them and they won't be spoiled.

Hard to believe, I know, but try it.

[–]TehScrumpy 16 points17 points ago

I love spoiling them. I will never stop. They are my darling bitchy babies.
