Thank you!

Somewhat same here, other than me occasionally browsing and commenting on c/books once in a blue moon

Piefed seems interesting! Might register an account there :) Hurrah for the wonders of open source! I’m a bit worried about Ernest though. Didn’t he have a bunch of health issues?

Speaking of Kbin, how is it rn? My first account was made on there after all

Mundane things like helping someone carry their groceries from one vehicle to another when we’re going down on the same stop. When we’re boarded in the same vehicle they enthusiastically pay for my fare.

I tend to experience it more when I’m wearing business casual.

What a pretty DuBb IdOT!

I got tangible perks for wearing certain clothes and helping people in them. It seems like when you dress a bit more formally, people are more likely to think you’re going out of your way to help them, and you’re more likely to get compensated. That mentality kinda sucks because if you squint a bit, there’s a social class bias in play. And I remember a little factoid where someone found out you get scammed less at the dentist if you wear a suit vs if you wear something like a hoodie.

Both, but it’s less about looking good or acceptable to others, it’s more about displaying a specific image really.

I hate how everything has to be monetized nowadays, or how money is to be expected for everything. Eventually people who provide free service or altruism will be seen as competition.

It was recently on local news, but that’s not the only conflict that involved water cannons and ships. From the article you can see Vietnam— they once saved filipino fishermen from potentially drowning. (from Philippines) https://www.rappler.com/nation/233079-how-filipino-boat-crew-was-saved-west-philippine-sea/ (from Vietnam) https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/all-gestures-no-words-as-vietnamese-fishermen-saved-22-filipinos-3940276.html. If china continues their actions, there are bound to be casualties. And if that happens, I’m not sure any of us will forgive them.

China is already bullying the Philippines too out of our own territorial waters, and they have already caused severe injuries to our countrymen. They literally want an entire sea to themselves and leave us with none. Just look at their nine dash line.

Edit: Here’s their nine-dash-line, they even want Malaysia’s sea, which is a long way away from chinese mainland, while they want seas close to the land territories of so many SEA nations.

I think people still pirate music by downloading them off of youtube

I can’t find it, do you specifically know where?

In my experience Odyssey has that too, even on unrelated videos, and they’re often liked for some reason. Atleast on Youtube you see those comments only on newest

The 2nd option, as a consumer lol.

“dutiful consumers” kinda icks me lol

Their content has better reach on Youtube, though. And has a better comment section which would be relevant to the video (which Oddysee has a problem with)

Now let’s see what new conspiracy the right-wingers will make about this

That was the time when z-lib was easily accessible on the clearnet, the time when their links was short?
