Whatever comes to mind
I want to leave the internet. This site, reddit, my banking app, the cloud service, Youtube, my music streaming app, my email, Whatsapp, iNaturalist, pornsites, Google Maps, OSMAnd, the local DOT app. I want to forget about VPN and DNS providers. Microsoft Teams, Outlook for work. I don't want to leave the internet. Wikipedia, the learning side of Youtube, this site, informative websites, OSMAnd,…
I think trash should be illegal, and I mean, generating trash. Or at least that there's a limit to weight per month/week whatever. This is hard to enforce, but this is just an idea in my mind. Trash should be illegal so that people have to think what to acquire, knowing that they will not be able to put it in the trash later and things will accumulate. This would solve so many issues for us…
I had plans for today with my girlfriend and her sisters. We were going out to a festival. They cancelled and hour before because they changed plans. Its a Saturday, so I usually use it to go to the farm, work at the house and do some pending tasks I can't do during the week. Them cancelling messes up my schedule. Now my girlfriend wants us to go tomorrow instead, but I had already made up my mind…
Why??? I'm trying to login to this site at work, and now they need me to setup my google account so I can use a Passkey for increased security...??? There was no way around putting my phone number. At least I managed to avoid the passkey by scanning the QR with another nor connected phone. WHY DO WE NEED TO USE GOOGLE TO INCREASE OUR SECURITY? This is soooo weird and it doesn't make any sense.…
Today I went to get my braces adjusted. This doctor did his residency 40 years ago and has been working orthodontics still. His office is a regular doctor's office, not too fancy, but there is something very 90's that I like. This doctor has many organized bookshelfs with patients records in paper. He takes notes of the work he's doing with you by hand. You can only pay in cash or check and they…
Though we are just passing by, I know that a lot of things we do can have a permanent effect on the world and all the other species thatt live in it. This year I bought my grandpa's farm, and boy he loved to dump trash... He had a store, so he seems to have dumped whatever remained from it at the farm. I'm now dealing with getting this farm clean and getting everything out; I feel it as my…
Dear guys and gals, and everything in between and outside of it, It is with pleasure that I announce that I just deleted my Amazon Account after many many years with it (10 maybe?). To be honest, many things happen with Amazon that I've ignored because they don't directly affect me but, though the multiple scams I was a victim to in this platform made me think about the decision, ultimately all…
I just read that reddit is blocking their mobile website, and I believe that for some of us, this is good news. When I left Facebook and Instagram last year, I wanted to keep checking it with no account, FOMO I guess. But then, as time went by, I got over my will to use the platform, and as of today, I don't have that urge anymore. The problem with Facebook and Instagram is that many businesses…
What can we do as individuals? Nothing, virtually nothing. We cannot influence in the decisions of our leaders, nor in the attitude of the gregarian crowds that they manage with maquiavelic cleverness. But not everything is lost. As it is true that we cannot fix the world, it is also true that as individuals we can fix ourselves. And that way, indirectly, we could start to improve the human…
This past month, I did not buy anything from Amazon or Ebay... and I saved some money doing it. Fortunately, I have a good salary, but I still do not want to spend my money in useless stuff. I've kept my account because there is stuff one can find in Amazon that cannot be found locally, and it might cost me a fortune at another online site, because of shipping costs. But with so many scams…
