Loosely related: if your relatives ever give you anything to sell on Facebook Marketplace or something, they will insist on some sort of insane price which will not move. You lower the price dramatically and it finally sells after weeks and weeks of just sitting there. Knowing that your boomer relative will be angry that it sold for $25 rather than 40 bajillion dollars, you lie to them and say you sold it for $45. They bitch, shit themselves, scream and cry, give you a hard time all throughout Sunday dinner and then claim they're going to sell their own stuff from now on. They never sell anything, or even attempt to do so. The end.

    DEI is what companies use to pacify wronged employees who belong to minority groups. "We're not discriminating against you because we have this corporate slop to point at" kind of deal. In my experience anyway. The backlash against DEI just makes it look more legitimate as an anti-discrimination effort.

    The company is going to fuck people over whether said people are pro or anti DEI. They just want your labor and your money.

    Orion browser and DuckDuckGo browser are really good on iPhone. Orion can use extensions and DuckDuckGo blocks Youtube ads.

    I'm thinking about GrapheneOS, but I've heard it can be a pain. I use a VoIP number so I could just switch to a tablet, iPad is cheaper than iPhone anyway.
