At this point, the weeding is needed

I miss when commercials had such a wild punchline that it becomes part of the culture

This happened near where I used to live and this totally tracks for how the workers are treated out here.

I worked for Amazon (a neighboring warehouse to this one, actually) for 2 weeks before I quit. They kept telling me that an 85-year-old grandma with arthritis wss beating my times and that I needed to pick up the pace. The floor manager also pulled me aside because I was 1 minute late coming back from break.

Came home with a tension headache and just never went back. This has been the ONLY time in my life that I felt justified not giving at least some kind of notice before quitting. The next shortest job I had was over a year and I tend to try to give employers more than 2 weeks if I liked the boss, and exactly 2 weeks if I didn't.

I agree, Big Glass has it out for us

Research studies is how you sell it 😂

Forgive me as my American-ness is blinding with this question, but what payment types would be the alternatives? Obvioudly cash/physical currency is one, but considering so much of Europe is cashless, I'm very interested to learn what card networks are popular overseas.

I love how every couple years, they'll do another surge of culling, but it's never enough. What a legacy.

Would you happen to have links to some of your favorites? I'd love to start cutting off Amazon, but that's going to be a journey.... I know it'll be worth it in the end though!

Just came to say definitely Tweety Bird

I believe it's because most South Africans are white

Didn't Apple just have a whole thing about police being able to pull notifications because they weren't encrypted?

Yep, which is why I want to use this time to get familiar with what apps I can so when this one gives out, I can switch to a Fairphone or Librem 5

Yes, I'm really hoping I can last until we see if this Graphene/Motorola thing works out, but if I switch earlier, I was considering either a Pixel 9/10 with GrapheneOS or a Fairphone with /e/os.

I'm so excited for the Cocaine Salmon movie

Yeah, that's the vibe I've been getting from Proton lately too. Again, worked great as a springboard for me, but now I'm ready to look at longer-term solutions

Sounds like pulling cash at a grocery store/gas station may bypass that serial number logging from traditional ATMs?

Apparently we can't have nice things (unwritten rules) anymore...

I second Lumo. I find it very good at compiling pretty good sources too.

Then I definitely want to know the story! Larping?
