That’s upvote/don’t upvote in my book.

Misinformation, propaganda, stuff like that. We can disagree and I’ll not downvote you. But if you’re outright spewing lies, whether you realize it or not, I’ll downvote.

One out of three. I kept my hair and I rent in this lunatic market.

Briefly, after moving to a new place after being in the last one for fifteen years. But I don’t ever forget that I’m in the Bay Area. Must be cause I wanted to be here (and away from there) so much.

This was brilliant.

Being born a cis white male in the USA. It’s not right, but it was lucky.

I’ll come back with an answer more in line with the intent of the question if I see this again later.

Seriously, my life is (unfairly) so much easier than it could have been. That’s not lost on me. Let’s change that.

You’re assuming people know things about the tech field. Very few do. I mean, those of us that do recognize the name Firefox. But someone who heard from a friend that Google went on trial for bad monopoly practices and wants to deGooglefy has no idea what’s available or what any of it means.

This is straight out of the film Naked Lunch.

But I do! The ones that are hateful, bigoted, etc… they are wrong and I’m not going to let them influence me. So long, Mom. You voted for a fascist. We aren’t friends anymore.

Used to be that because I was an expert on Apple platforms, that must mean I can fix a Windows computer. I hadn’t the first clue where anything was. I’ve since learned, however. Because of work. Oh well.

This is very enlightening. Great way of framing the difference between the two.

Why I’d ever want to offer up my code to this asshat’s company remains a mystery.

Fuck the south.com

Offering $20 on an item priced at $400 (for example) is not someone not knowing the approximate price. It’s someone looking to get a steal.

I’m pretty sick of people treating this like I’m harming myself or the market by refusing to let strangers take advantage of me. Get fucked.

If I’m selling a thousand dollar PC (that’s a year old) and someone offers me $50, that’s a shit offer. Like the image that headed this post.

Fuck you. I didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting. You don’t know shit.

I have self respect enough to take a loss rather than be taken advantage.

I was already deeply discounting. I also give hardware away to friends and family (my old Synology NAS just got a new home with a friend). But for strangers to underbid so hard is fucking insulting. I am generous. I am not someone of which to take advantage.
