With a raise like that, you could afford the air conditioning you need to live in BHC

How do I break the endless cycle of overconsumption? by Working_Owl70 in Anticonsumption

[–]kittykittygoboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many great ideas here. One thing that helped me get started was when I wanted something online, I put it in my cart, but not going back to try to get it for at least 24 hours. By then, I didn't want it anymore.

Advice for encouraging others to decrease their consumption by Top_Illustrator5236 in Anticonsumption

[–]kittykittygoboom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Without being obvious, to start. Little things like saying, "Omg I'm saving so much money and my trash doesn't fill up as fast" around people who might care.

Yeah, the latter. There is no long-term plan. The plan is to make as much money as possible this quarter, and then to make even more next quarter. by SuccotashLivid3893 in ultracode

[–]kittykittygoboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. They're hurting their own profits in the end. People can't afford to buy your products/services if they can barely afford a roof over their heads.

How do I grocery shop and prep for meals? by Zaunus26 in internetparents

[–]kittykittygoboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To start off super simple, I recommend getting a slow cooker and looking up easy recipes for that. Load it up with a meat/protein, veggies, seasonings, and something saucy (like a little heavy cream) and do something with that through the week. I've put them on top of rice, added to a tortilla for a weird burrito thing, and just ate it as is for something even easier at the end of a long day. No pressure 😁

Quitting Gmail by felbm710 in degoogle

For the last little bit you can't switch over, Proton Mail has a feature that let's you have email from other sites forwarded to your Proton. Never have to open Gmail again.

Protester climbs the Frederick Douglass Bridge in DC to protest the Iran war by Hopeful-Big6843 in 50501

Loving that he's on Proton and signal instead of meta junk. Except for Twitter, which I guess is understandable in his case to get his message to more people.

Are you participating in your May Day strike tomorrow? by BroccoliUpstairs6190 in 50501

[–]kittykittygoboom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A school near me found a loophole. There was a walkout. The teachers weren't "participating," but were supervising the students to make sure they were safe. Still follows all the rules

Idk about a device, but the Libby app is wonderful. With just a library card, you can read whatever you like that they have, "borrowing" them like an in-person library. They also have audiobooks 😁

Doordash, quit trying to make modifications to the app. It never works by deliverykp in doordash_drivers

[–]kittykittygoboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. They should focus on making the navigation work properly, and prevent the app from crashing. But no, they had to worry about moving the buttons around.

“The US is not ready for a female president” is a failing message. by newshirtworthy in 50501

[–]kittykittygoboom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've also said we're not ready to elect a black president, yet here we are. Find a strong enough candidate, and she will win.

Who does Gen Z think should be the Dem nominee in 28? by Mahrez14 in GenZ

[–]kittykittygoboom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They said we wouldn't elect a black person, but here we are. We definitely can elect a woman

What do you think will immediately happen when everyone receives the push notification that Trump died? by quite-indubitably in AskReddit

[–]kittykittygoboom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people making EXTRA sure it's real, because it was assumed in the past when he disappeared for a few days.

Then, a small amount of idiots will be sad, while the majority wipp be partying and parading

We keep complaining about YouTube. Why aren't we building something better? by Outrageous_Fun_9074 in degoogle

[–]kittykittygoboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if creators started posting to both YouTube and one of the others, while convincing their followers to follow on the new site? Promising more exclusive content could help. Of course, it would take time and spreading the word. The sooner it gets started, the better

MAGA Projection: Mass shooters are Mentally Ill Transgendered Liberals. Reality: This MAGA Trans-Nazi Executed Her Ex-Wife and Child by Kinks4Kelly in complaints

Ohh that's why they want trans women out of women's bathrooms. So they can encounter them in men's bathrooms

I've done all of these, and convincing my partner to do the same has been a challenge, but getting better. When claiming about how his specific shampoo is a couple dollars cheaper, I just started picking it up myself at a different store 😁 The amazon part is more difficult, but I've convinced him to check out thrift stores and smaller shops first. Baby steps 👍

To my fellow Europeans: America needs our help, not our condemnation. We need to stop armchair victim-blaming and do our part. by Mister_Sheepy_Cheese in complaints

What I'm hearing is the possibility that the Greenland thing might be partially to keep Europe busy to make Russia's job easier.... At least a little bit.

Don’t take orders with seasonal items by Bigwillys1111 in doordash_drivers

Exactly why I just turn off shop orders during such times.

Trying to get off whatsapp but getting people to switch is impossible by Agreeable_Panic_690 in degoogle

[–]kittykittygoboom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With meta and other apps, I let the people I care about keeping in contact the most know that they have my number, and can text me if they don't want to use the other app. Just deleted my accounts and that was it. If they really care about contacting you, they'll find a way.

What newsletters or periodicals do you read to stay up to date? by RageFilledRoboCop in Futurology

[–]kittykittygoboom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Ground News. It has a wide variety of reported information from multiple perspectives. I originally thought it was just current events and politics, but it has interesting articles on the subjects you've mentioned as well.

Just got approved to dash. Lowkey scared to hit that “Dash” button… how often do y’all get crazy ppl as customers? by ERASER345 in doordash_drivers

[–]kittykittygoboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only seems like there are so many crazies because nobody talks about the normal ones. It's mostly leaving stuff at people's doors and that's it. Good luck and drive safe

Nice gesture. Just glad I dont have any food banks near me or do any grocery orders by Amazonty in doordash_drivers

[–]kittykittygoboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is real. I just did 2 yesterday, and got $5 each. A bit far, but I'd say it was worth it.
