I mean, yeah, it would be great if Amazon took Monero, but I don’t see them ever even considering that.

I always called it a sweat jacket.
Yes! Thank you! That’s what i was looking for.
Although, yeah, Ramsey definitely has had his share of controversy, so I listen to the episodes with a grain of salt.
Yeah, I tried a few episodes. Couldn’t really get into it for some reason. Maybe I’ll try again.
Hm…I’ll consider this. I 100% believe in self-hosting, but I’ve had to compromise lately. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yup. Once you’re a $5/mo / $10/mo member, then you can profit share.
I’ve seen that site occasionally. I’ll consider it. The only downside is that I already have a medium audience so I"d have to rebuild my audience. But I’ll consider it. Thanks.
Oh, no, I don’t have to pay to submit articles. I’ve already published dozens of articles. It’s just that in order to participate in profit sharing, you need to become a member: $5/mo or $50/yr.
Yeah. It’s been a struggle these past few years. I’ve been getting creative to find any source of income, but it seems like no matter what I try I always hit a wall. But I found out I have a new contract starting soon (🤞) that will definitely cover costs for a while. This season is critical for me, and I often check my priorities often. Thanks for the encouragement.
They basically want more data points on people to sell to advertisers.
It’s big tech. That’s how big tech works.
Yup, try the #UnionizeTech tag on Twitter or Mastodon. I’m trying to raise interest.
So far there’s a call, but nobody’s taking action.
On my part, still trying to find work to afford groceries, so I don’t have much energy to spend on anything else.
While proponents of the new method have theorized it would be painless, opponents have likened it to human experimentation.
Isn’t that how we’re doing the death penalty anyway? We’re trying to find a “painless” way to kill someone, but is there ever really a painless way to do this? I’d imagine even if I’m sitting in a massage chair with classical music playing it wouldn’t matter if I knew that half an hour from now I wouldn’t be leaving the room.
And we can’t really ask doctors because doctors have taken an oath to “do no harm.”
The death penalty is just a punishment no one wants to do (well, okay, I’m sure there are plenty of people that have no problem with it), but we’ve told ourselves that we have to do it.
Exactly.
“I’m ready to start Monday. Just need to restart my health insurance with–”
“Oh, we already chose that for you.”
“Um…okay…well, at least I can go back to my gym on Tues–”
“No worries, through our wellness plan we’ve already selected a gym for you. We even pre-signed you up to a spin class.”
“I’m more of a bench-press person any–”
“We’ve started your retirement account, too.”
“Um…thanks?”
I had a hero of a physics professor who figured out that new editions of textbooks just mixed up the number of the exercises, so he advised students that they could just order previous versions of the textbooks and he’d provide the “key” for how the questions were shuffled.
Toilets.
I just use your neighbor’s garden and blame it on my cat.
Probably gonna anger both sides here, but I see both private insurance and single-payer healthcare as equally-evil scams. Why not focus on driving down costs of healthcare (i.e. EVERYTHING) so that you throw a couple bucks at the receptionist to cover your surgery then check to see if you have enough for a post-surgery soda?
Yup, BandCamp all the way. Once you buy a song you own it, you can play it anywhere you darn well please. Even if BandCamp goes under, no worries, still got my music.
Same with DVDs. Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten movies I regret purchasing, but I think long-term it’s more economical.
Workplace benefits.
Really? What’s the benefit? You’re taking money out of my paycheck to restrict my choices?
And aren’t you a business anyway–you know, an organization whose purpose is to MAKE MONEY, not coddle people.
Yeah, most online stores don’t accept gift cards, unfortunately. 🙁 Especially Amazon…tried to order some much needed products with Amazon cards, and they require a bank card.
IME, (on Amazon at least…and a few others I’ve tried) masked cards are usually accepted as bank cards. Gift cards are not.
I’d love to build myself a privacy-respecting online store that accepts everything from Monero to cash to Apple pay (for the general populous that doesn’t care), but I sort of lack the capital. 😅
