Had a few people scream at me when I am cycling to work on the few sections I have to use roads with cars on.

Recent one I was cycling along and someone pulls out into my lane and expected me to move over for them. Nah, you fucking wait, this is my lane not yours. I can stand in the road with you shouting for a lot longer than it takes for you to reverse back to where you should be waiting.

I managed to do the same by making a small gap between my fingers. Then went back to looking at it with eclipse glasses.

Fuck I forgot about that. Still, we are allowed to mass boycott Amazon.

So using the same logic I can dismiss the problems of Americans because of Sudan?

Minimum wage is much lower for apprenticeships, plus I was only working 11-5. Once I completed the apprenticeship I started earning regular minimum wage. Saved most of the difference for a house deposit.

I didn’t say I did nothing, just that I didn’t spend much money after essentials are covered. Tbh, still don’t.

After work go to the beach, drink a can of cider, cook up some hotdogs for dinner and have a swim - it costs me under £1.

Been going out fruit picking lately, mostly plums, apples and blackberries. That costs £0 to do and you end up with delicious food out of it. Or lately, been making wines from some of them which was a small one time cost for some bottles.

Gardening and allotment, £50 a YEAR rent for the allotment and get a pretty big space from it. Still a WIP as I am new to that but I get to chat with people there along with grow my own fruit/veg. Before that I just had my small garden which I use to grow herbs.

If this is just “existing”, I feel like I would question who is the one that’s brainwashed.

Please hold still while I saw you

Apple juice can contain around 0.5% alcohol though?

I think a lot of it is due to stupid shop policies. I have been refused sale of a teaspoon for not having ID.

Non violent methods work but you need far more organisation for it to work. 1 person can kill a billionaire. It takes action of millions to starve a large corporation.

Non violent and legal protest are not the same thing. Then there is violence to property only too.

Boycotts can work if you have mass support and are totally legal. Blockades are usually illegal but non violent.

Currently seems like there is a lack of organisation. Even simple stuff like stop using the massive evil corporations as much is difficult to get anyone to do. Even if it saves them money!

Now that sort of thing could be more useful

Your employer can provide you with a phone for work stuff then.

Sure I guess, but its not like it has to be difficult to pay for all that stuff.

Living I’m south east UK and even at minimum wage its pretty easy to cover essentials. If you think spending more on things you don’t need will make you happier, that might be where you are going wrong.

The first time I felt like life was alright was after leaving school and moving out. Despite on paper being vastly below the poverty line. It didn’t feel like it, I could afford rent and food, didn’t really know what else to spend my money on. GTX1060 isn’t something you need to buy many of.

Main thing to reduce living costs is just share a house with other people. Our rooms still had their own locks so its not like anyone could go through my stuff.

I don’t think he has friends

Nope, not listening. I am using the increased friction as a reason for giving up and not using reddit at all.

Using Lemmy for most of the work day I’d why I need to charge my nearly 5 year old FF4 most days. Kinda curious what the battery capacity is like compared to new as I only got it a few months ago second hand.

Also curious, never used it. Got FF4, not sure if I have NFC or not.

Using WiFi to transfer is far more convenient than having to get cables out anyway.

Isn’t WiFi 6 faster?

Why graphene specifically? Using Calyx on my FF4 currently.
