Thank you!

Somewhat same here, other than me occasionally browsing and commenting on c/books once in a blue moon

Unfortunately my city has shit waste management so the trash has been piling up for some days now…

Piefed seems interesting! Might register an account there :) Hurrah for the wonders of open source! I’m a bit worried about Ernest though. Didn’t he have a bunch of health issues?

Speaking of Kbin, how is it rn? My first account was made on there after all

What war was that?

Mundane things like helping someone carry their groceries from one vehicle to another when we’re going down on the same stop. When we’re boarded in the same vehicle they enthusiastically pay for my fare.

I tend to experience it more when I’m wearing business casual.

What a pretty DuBb IdOT!

I got tangible perks for wearing certain clothes and helping people in them. It seems like when you dress a bit more formally, people are more likely to think you’re going out of your way to help them, and you’re more likely to get compensated. That mentality kinda sucks because if you squint a bit, there’s a social class bias in play. And I remember a little factoid where someone found out you get scammed less at the dentist if you wear a suit vs if you wear something like a hoodie.

Both, but it’s less about looking good or acceptable to others, it’s more about displaying a specific image really.

I’m from the Philippines, a country in Southeast Asia.

“The most important impact you can have as a consumer is not that the lack of your personal revenue is going to keep the likes of Jeff Bezos up at night. It’s that you’re providing revenue and a user base to alternative businesses that are struggling to exist in a world where most people just use Amazon.”

I agree! I think we should frame boycotts this way, I can’t stand companies abusing their chokehold on the market. It’s also a more feasible and tangible goal.

I can still use Stealth for Reddit

Yeah, my mom and I (in the Philippines) saw an American talk about having lots of money quite loudly in a shopping mall. We were put off.

What search engine do you use?

Something similar happened to us in the Philippines. There was a huge propaganda and disinformation campaign on Facebook by the Marcos family (rumored to have partnered with Cambridge Analytica). Which led to people falsely thinking that Marcos I’s regime was a golden age, and now we have his son as president.

Can’t you just replace the battery somehow? My phone’s old battery had an adhesive which the repairman just cut, then he put in a new adhesive and battery in.

What??
