I read their names to owls.
When watching over-the-air television, I mute the TV and look away when ads come on.
You can show me all the ads in the world but you sure as fuck can’t force me to engage.Tap for spoiler
God help those fuckers when I finally fall down the TV Tuner + Jellyfin + TVHeadend rabbithole. I’m gonna “Live Pause” that shit or I’m gonna straight up DVR everything I wanna watch and skip the ads.
And my parents watch much more OTA TV than me so you bet your ass I’m setting up every TV in their house with a cheap trustable Android TV stick and teaching them how to Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward. Fuck ads foreverrrrrr.By not participating in work’s non-work activities.
Linux and piracy.
i refuse to apply for jobs
I poo at work
Me too. Sometimes I hold it in through the weekend.
Run every reasonable possible method of ad-blocking. From whole-house PiHole with uBlock, Privacy Badger, anti-tracking, VPN, and more. F/OSS software when possible.
“A trans person peed here” stickers in gas station bathrooms/other public bathrooms.
That is delightful. A smile for allies and discomfort for assholes.
I used to travel a lot in eastern Oklahoma, and left a lot of stickers at gas stations in the middle of bumble fuck nowhere towns. Probably less smiles and more anger honestly, but fuck them. Also did some on a trip to Missouri, where I’m pretty sure it was illegal for me to piss.
I work about 1 hour of every day.
I thank gpt every time because apparently that costs them money.
I click on sponsored links via a browser extension because it confuses profilers and costs them money.
But it also costs the world because fuck chatgpt
More to the woman. My girl once complained about me leaving the seat up.
For years, I always put the seat AND the lid down.
All of us leave the seat and lid down. The whole seat up/down argument is pretty ridiculous.
If you flush with the lid up you’re gross and I hate you
Literally! How about just putting the water on the floor in the first place
I have a cat. Toilet lid is shut unless actively in use otherwise there will be the worst kind of wet cat loose in the house because she’s dumb and clumsy.
It never even occurred to me that this would be relevant to my cats, but I always make sure the washer and dryer get closed.
I approve of your diligence.
I try to steal from the supermarket every time I go.
That sounds risky and illegal.
I just put items back in the wrong place.
I have never paid rent or utilities or electricity.
Currently live off grid on land I own using solar power. We have all electric appliances. Generator uses propane but only use it 1-2 times a year so it’s rare to refill the tank.
The dump is only a few dollar when we take our trash (under $10) every few months.
Self host on a NAS, have home assistant that helps a ton with power monitoring and control.
My goal in a few years is to provide almost all my needs from my own land. Food, water, shelter, power, etc.
How does one own land? I want
Land can be bought everywhere in all price ranges. The real hurdle is whether you can legally live there or what requirements there are, due to zoning and building codes.
I think the easiest way to get a self sustaining home with as little legal issues as possible is to buy an already legal home with the grid connection, but then just don’t use it.
If I were young and single again, I would look into auctions of derelict farms. Tear down the old building and instead build a small totally legal connected up to code cabin with water, waste and electricity connection. Then use the rest of land to do whatever actually interest me, while complying to the bare minimum of legal requirements for that land.
Thats crazy!
Don’t you still pay land tax though?
Yes there is a land tax, but it’s quite low.
I joined a union and organized the election of a workers council at my workplace.
Union dues are 1% of my salary.In the past 5 years, we managed to enforce:
- the right to work from home
- 20% pay for the time spent on call after hours, plus 1 day paid vacation for each week you’re on call (so I now have 42 days + unlimited sick days)
- a company car for on call duty, which you’re allowed to use privately, too
- work phones for every employee (instead of having to install the company MDM on your private phone)
- convertible desks for everyone
- and a substantial pay raise
This post was about little things, no need to show your gigantic balls here.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It began with a little thing, simply writing an e-mail to the union, and kind of grew from there.All good man, I just wanted to point out how impressive what you did was. You didn’t just stick it to the man, you went Vlad the Impaler on his ass.
I don’t remember the last time I saw an advert.
Like, genuinely, I get politely confused when people talk about them. What do you MEAN you’re not adblocking everything? What do you MEAN you still use a service if you can’t adblock it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN you paid for YouTube?
My wife is a software developer who doesn’t use Ublock or Revanced and I’m so confused.
Has she ever given a reason?
I second this
