Alyssa is an absolute legend. Every time I read a banger blog post I check the author, and on multiple sites she comes up as the OP.

On mobile so won’t grab all the links, but I’ve done a lot of research into air purifiers and can echo what most people said

• Most air purifiers over 50$ are as good as the ones that sell for 150$+
• I personally buy Winix
• An air purifier can clean a room in 1-3 hours, but since I’m paranoid I keep mine running 24/7
• Don’t buy anything over 100$, it’s not worth it (if you want super clean rooms, buy one for each side of your house)
• Clean your air purifier (just wash the filter) every month or two (there’s a lot of dust it traps)
• Enjoy the investment, air purifiers are great!

BTC ETF is a sad state of affairs and has nothing to do with replacing PayPal. I’m talking about strictly using crypto to pay for work or services (i.e. I only pay people online in crypto, I only pay for my DNS/VPN/etc in crypto)

Crypto. Works great for everything I previously used PayPal for

Edit: lmao people mad. For what it’s worth BTC is screwed by txn fees and ETH isn’t much better, and there’s the whole scam thing going around, but crypto is still the best libre banking.

I don’t go at a frequent enough schedule to recognize the cashiers, I’m sure it’s the same for them

Brand awareness gets you subconsciously

There’s a lot of micro-aggressions and straight up aggressions in this post, but honestly your comment strikes the biggest nerve for me. It genuinely shows that a portion of the world don’t consciously see women as business owners

Yikes dude, hope you got a dashcam

Same boat. I’m yet to find a good response to that. On one hand, I want to be like “haha yea”, but on the other hand, I want to be modest and not comment on it… Which is just like an awkward silence. I usually just say something like “oh yea I used to live here” but even that feels like oversharing :p

So I tend to dress “well”. I’m not great at fashion, but I shave every morning, force myself to spend a bit of money on nice tshirts, etc.

On the weekends though, I let it all go. I go out to the store in my PJs, I don’t shave, I wear my hat and hoodie up, and to be honest look a bit like a thug. I notice people on the street are a little less comfortable walking by, however…

One thing that stood out insanely was the grocery store. When I dress like a homeless person, it is night and day difference:

• Cashier keeps the checkout stuff closer to them
• While my card transaction is pending, if I start loading stuff in my bag they’re like “oh, oh wait… It’s still pending”
• Even when I start the small-talk (“How is your day going?”), responses are short

When I dress well:

• Cashier doesn’t mind when I start loading my backpack even before paying
• Cashiers always smile and ask how my day is

I was planning on writing a blog post about it (plug to !dginovker_blog@lemmy.ml), but wanted to get more data points first

Suyu is a fork of Yuzu: https://suyu.dev/

These numbers seem grossly inflated. How was the study conducted?

Edit:

However, on average 67% of those polled in the Blind survey said they were likely to join a union and 73% said that unions “mostly helped.”

Eh that’s reasonable. Blind (the app) is pretty good, alibet toxic

I love going to the office. I started renting a place nearby to do just that.

But I don’t want my coworkers to be forced to show up. That’s silly.

Wartime means taxes from citizens. Private companies offer to help the government for said taxes to help fuel the war machine

Pine64s “problem” was they only ever did the hardware. Like they sponsor some software, but they make and sell hardware. They gained a lot of popularity from the Pinephone, but very little changed internally at Pine64. They’re still the same they always were

Honestly you can thank decades of anti-nuclear lobbying

This is actually really effective as a form of protest. From a business perspective, Rockstar probably won’t roll anticheat back, but future companies will assess it as part of the risk when looking to add AC
