I thought your post was asking what to carry in your fish wallet

Hey guys anyone know where I can buy some cool stuff? Nah I’m not interested in defining the word cool and what it means to me, you figure it out

I have an affection for Bollywood movies and I’m really happy to learn this, thanks!

You don’t NEED tap to pay. I literally never use it, ever, unless I have a card with a bad chip (happened once).

Forgetting your wallet like a dummy doesn’t mean you NEED tap to pay, it means you need to remember to bring your wallet.

Also, there is nothing you NEED the Costco app for, an org like that can’t lock things behind an app to function because their customer base is too broad, they will inevitably have old people with T9 Nokia bricks still. It might have been the most convenient way to achieve it, but it’s not a requirement - even if that particular sales associate didn’t know how and would have to phone a friend.

All that to say I’m not trying to convince you to use gOS; I fully recognize that security is on one end of the spectrum from convenience, and we all choose where we want to be on that spectrum. But I felt the need to counter your claims… Nobody NEEDS tap to pay smh. If you care about privacy at all you wouldn’t be linking cards to apple or Google, adding yet another layer of giant data collection to some of your most intimate data.

I don’t think you realize what you’re wishing for, which is ok if you didn’t live through it as an adult, but the 2008 housing crash was so much more devastating than you probably realize.

So, so many lives wrecked.

I want to see more housing inventory come to market and see some price corrections for sure, but the scale of crash you’re talking about wishing for, the only reason you could possibly desire it is from stark naivete of a young person who doesn’t understand the scale of the disaster you’re advocating for.

We need more housing inventory, less NIMBY blocking it, and stiff taxes on investment homes that disincentivize people or companies from owning tons of homes.

We want a market correction, not a crash. They’re different.

But you did watch it

Out of curiosity, do you know how many people opt not to get them? USA has a growing prevalence of vaccine hesitancy/anti science that gets concentrated amongst regions/social groups. It’s an issue IMO because you get areas with low herd immunity, but if we didn’t have that problem and the vast majority of people were on board then having them be voluntary wouldn’t be an issue to me. In the current state of affairs I think it’s too dangerous to have them be voluntary in the USA.

What? Ok so I’ll ignore how ridiculous that is and just suggest another resource because talking about being depressed and how people will remember you or not in the same sentence is a big red flag for suicidal thoughts.

Calling someone a loser or saying they haven’t accomplished anything is a judgement on someone’s past and present self.

Talking about someone’s bright future is recognition of the fact that they had potential and opportunities that will never be realized.

If you’re thinking about suicide, please call 988 (USA) or an equivalent service in your country. I hope you get well soon.

I think it’s verbal meltdown?

Yeah when you’re playing an instrument in a symphony you have a very, very narrow ability to hear and understand everything that’s going on. Your own instrument is (usually) in your face, you might be in a section with a bunch of the same or similar instruments that is drowning stuff out, everyone is facing away from you and the acoustic echo is weird, etc.

Conductor stands right in the middle of it all and can actually hear everything. A conductor can guide entire sections, or even easily pick out a specific player and get them to be louder, quieter, slow down, etc.

Each player in the symphony is paying attention to that person and they all take cues from them. It’s pretty wild.

They’re not the same.

Hiding an unlocked treasure chest in the forest is obscurity. Sure, you might be the only one who knows it’s there at first but eventually someone might come across it.

Having a vault at a bank branch is security - everyone knows there’s a vault there, but you’ll be damned if you’re going to get into it when you’re not authorized.

Good passwords, when implemented correctly, use hashing (one way encryption) to provide security. It’s not obscured, people know you need a password to access the thing (in our example)

Oh.

Ok then yeah, just tell them you don’t make stuff for other people?

If you can yourself a hobbyist then you likely struggle with communicating the true value of your time for your craft.

People are asking you to make things because they value the product they see that you can make, but it doesn’t sound like you’ve internalized the same measure of value of your work.

All that to say, my advice is that when people give you a request, communicate your response in the following general framework:

-first things first, I’m really backed up and don’t really have time for new commissions HOWEVER

-if you’re willing to wait at least ___________ time then I might be able to fit you in BUT

-I need you to understand that your project will likely be much more expensive than you imagine it to be because it’s custom, and the amount of time that will go into making a custom design that meets my quality standards will be very high.

-i generally commission a piece with an estimated rate of _______ (price per hour - DON’T undersell yourself here. An entire new conversation could go into pricing the value of your time, but that’s a tangent we won’t go into here) and just as a VERY rough estimate I can already guess that your idea would take _______ hours in design time alone, not even considering materials or the time it would take me to create the piece.

-if you’re ok with all that, then maybe we can work together. Why don’t you reach out in _______ amount of weeks/months and we’ll reengage? (Kick the can down the road)

-in the meantime, if you really want your piece before then, I recommend you check out ________ (recommend some good online retailers)

Any of these blanks can be adjusted. If it’s someone you really don’t want to work with, inflate all the timelines. If it’s someone you are close to, give them the lower hourly rate because they’re friends and family or whatever.

But it’s professional, structured, flexible, and sets realistic expectations. Most people will get waved away simply by the price, as you know already.

But most people won’t start out realizing how much time and effort goes into what they’re asking for so you really need to help communicate that so they have a better understanding that a custom knife sheath or whatever isn’t something you can just whip up in an afternoon for the price of a couple pizzas.

Your reading comprehension is shite.

The commenter that replied to you meant not to disparage an entire group based off of something they can’t choose, which in context was their skin color.

So no, an overwhelming amount of people didn’t choose that, they were born with it. You racist ass dingus.
