  • That’s why I said “that I’d feel bad throwing away”.

    The stages for high end go like this: sent to “goodwill boutique” and/or listed online. Sent to cheaper local goodwill with markdown. Added to cheap-item-Sunday (for ones that still do that). Sent to bulk outlet (where people fill a bag and pay one price for entire bag or by the pound). Finally, recyclers

    So they don’t block it so much as delay I suppose. But they’ve gotten good at regionalizing their processes








  • Homecoming: tony stark decides to actually help clean up after himself for once instead of making the citizens of new york pay for it (many of whom are homeless after the events of “avengers”). Some union workers start to destroy small businesses and kill people because of that

    This reminds me of the situation where people thought they were doing good by sending free food and clothes to underserved African populations, but it turns out it was putting their local manufacturers out of business.

    Far from home: A guy kills people because his invention wasn’t respected as much as he would prefer

    Billionaire names the employee’s invention “BARF” craps all over it, then uses it for himself

    No way home: spider man destroys his whole life and sacrifices 4 people who he tried to help for the sake of all life in the multiverse

    Why was the multiverse in trouble again?

    Homecoming: Blue collar workers are told they’re fired and replaced by billionaire Tony Stark’s new government backed company, Haliburton. I mean Defence Force or something. System failed them so they said fuck it.

    Far From Home: Billionaire’s company steals invention of his employee and passes it off as his own. Makes more billions. Dozens of the employees quit to support employee’s new plans of taking back his tech and usurping Billionaire’s world dominance. System failed them so they said fuck it.

    No Way Home: Literally just a movie about how Spiderman and the system failed these “villains” who really just needed support with mental health and navigating a shit system.





  • As of now they’re still considering this a test, so people have to still carry and have available their physical ID in any situation.

    But, off the top of my head, say you’re going through security and already have your plane ticket on your phone, that is all you will need to have out.

    If you’re buying some booze at the circle K and already planning to pay with your phone, again no need to get out your wallet.

    I dunno if the ends justify the means, but use-case is kinda fun I guess





  • I’m not in the tech industry, but should Meta have some kind of obligation to report this to USPS? There’s no way they didn’t realize.

    I realize the fine print user agreements (which I’ve noticed have become 3 to 4 separate documents these days – links to other links) exist for “a reason” but I feel like there ought to be a “mandatory to report” such a thing from the corporate end.

    I don’t expect the USPS to have the same level of tech guru to combat corporate giant sneakiness


  • How about deep diving? It’s not easy and consistent with one app, but it’s pretty satisfying to be the one figuring stuff out.

    Or local city planning. Future plans on what to build and where. Doesn’t update as frequently, but it’s something to circle back to on occasion, or you might want to get involved and go to a meeting.

    Some people like to listen to police scanners, or alternatively there is usually someone with a social media account who posts just the most important or funniest transmissions from the city/county/whatever

    Or you could get an idle game app that you occasionally need to pop into to collect money and upgrade.

    Start day trading?
