  • You are in a contract with the government. Maybe an involuntary one, but still a contract. This contract gives you rights and benefits, but also obligations and responsibilities.

    When the government does not uphold their end of the contract, or changes it to essentially only obligations for you and no benefits, then it becomes extortion. Still not exactly theft, but closer to what you mean.

    However, the vast majority of people get benefits that far outweight the costs of the contract. Safety, transportation, education, utilities, etc.



  • Sleepy cats can be quite derpy. I once had an unannounced visitor come in via the catflap. The catflap was there from the previous homeowner. What neither I nor this cat knew, was that the catflap was set to entry-only mode. Poor guy got locked up in my kitchen overnight.

    So when I strolled into my kitchen in the morning we looked at eachother, both with the question in our eyes: who the hell are you? So I offered my finger for sniffing, and when approved I slowly petted the sleepyhead. But when I turned around for 5 second to grab my phone, his brain woke up, and suddenly he remembered the trouble he was in, and pannicked. I was suddenly super scary. It took some convincing that the kitchen door was opened to outside, that I wasn’t going to harm him, and that he was free to leave.
