@NEETzsche Normal is a word that absolutely does not apply to me in any context.

@rootfs That's the reason I disabled my crossposting as well.

My word, if you ever want to see capitalist brainwashing at work, go through a legally required bankruptcy course. It's full of contradictions, bad advice, & financial myths that were disproven over 15 years ago.I hate capitalist society so much. I'm not going bankrupt because I'm inept. It's because of a global economic/health crisis that I lacked the ability & resources to prepare for. I learned a lot from 2008, but I had no reasonable way to predict 2020 - Present Day.Fuck capitalism.

@Are0h I suspect this is similar logic to why billionaires crave more wealth. They're terrified of being poor & treated the way they treat poor people, so their entire lives are spent in the pursuit of stupid amounts of wealth out of fear.Why can't humans be rational & reasonable?

@be And it spreads. I worked in a very toxic environment a few years ago & the only way to survive was to become equally as toxic. Took over a year after leaving that job to drop most of that toxicity.Managers who tolerate toxic exployees are responsible for everyone in the building who becomes toxic. It's their job to manage their people, after all.

@thor Were it not for the introduction of the Pixel line, I may have considered switching a few years ago. Now? My 3 year old Pixel 3 is still running like a dream. I expect to get another year or two out of it... Maybe 3 if I am willing to root it & tinker a bit.Biggest concern is the battery. I loathe how batteries are no longer easy to change in phones. Planned obsolescence is a whole other kind of evil.

@gabek I switched to ProtonMail a few years ago & have been quite happy. My Gmail account is just a spam account now. I love it. 😂

After expenses, I made $6.64 per hour tonight, through no fault of my own. Gave up after 4 hours since 2 of those were spent waiting at restaurants that could not get their shit together.One of the many reasons you should never be a DoorDash driver if you have any choice in the matter.

@r000t Oh... I reported it to Google as a phishing attempt & blocked them. Since it only came through my rarely used Gmail account & not ProtonMail, I assumed it was just another scammer.*shrug*Oh well. They have the worst burgers of any fast food chain, so I'm not exactly missing out on anything.

@thor I feel this. I wish I could be the quiet stoic type & keep my thoughts in my head. Even with medication turning the cacophony down to a normal level, I can't keep the thoughts in. Holding them in is stressful & becomes literally painful. If I don't get them out somewhere, I'll go mad.

Every time I see people doing stuff & enjoying life, I can't help but think "I wish I wasn't so broke, exhausted, & simply burnt out so I could enjoy things too."

@thor It's what I do with my LLC. It's why on paper I live below the poverty line. In practice, I live just above it.Being American, if I make too much money, I lose my state health insurance, but I won't make enough to but private insurance. I have to stay poor on paper, or I'll die.Land of the free, my ass.

@coolboymew @Graycot They're the same snails from the hypothetical "Would you accept stupid amounts of money on the condition a single snail would be constantly chasing you & could kill you with a single touch?"

I declined 5 consecutive orders like this. If you use #DoorDash, you need to tip if you want your order. We won't deliver at a loss, & 26 miles round trip for $2.50 would be a loss even in a Prius.Unless you're disabled, DoorDash is a luxury, not a necessity. Do better.

@raphaelmorgan @Elizafox Not tipping to fight tipping culture benefits the business owner who uses tipping to suppress wages. Short of writing it into law, the only way to eliminate tipping culture is to stop patronizing businesses that expect it.In the case of DoorDash, it's even worse. Delivery is hard on vehicles, we pay all the maintenance costs, & our hourly pay is $0 per hour. We literally only make money from tips.Can't wait until I can quit.

@naln1 Any system that offers "Legal Name" & "Display Name" is a good one in my book. They should all do this. There are many reasons even cis people might want different display names. As an example, Allen Stenhaus is a pseudonym, but it's my preference outside of family & close friends. I've opted out of using certain web platforms because of not having the option to have a separate display name.This absolutely needs to be the standard at minimum.

@naln1 That's... Wait. There are other ways?
