If These Trees Could Talk. Polyphia. Those are two I like quite a bit. Explosions In the Sky. This Will Destroy You.

Amazon delivers value to me, banks are rent seeking middlemen that want a cut of every transaction and control of all capital and deliver no value whatsoever.

I may use banks in the future if I have a better reason than “debit card” but I’d probably use a credit union if I needed more than that anyway.

I don’t know if I boycott. I refuse to do business with certain companies, if that counts. I suppose that’s what a boycott is.

• Google, first and foremost
• Microsoft
• Meta
• Apple
• Visa
• MasterCard
• Paypal, including Venmo
• all banks
• oil change places
• all outlet stores

There’s probably more I’m not thinking of. Generally speaking I use all FOSS software, always buy things used from a person who owns it, don’t buy processed food and cook my own 99% of the time, don’t use chemical products on my skin or in the shower, buy clothes used and use cash for everything. For Amazon, which I do use, I get gift cards.

Justice be done though the heavens fall. It’s a very old quote, originally in Latin, it’s a core principle of a functioning justice system.

Printing money.

Survive? I don’t know. I definitely wouldn’t be doing well. I’m sure I could figure it out though.

Illiterate because I can learn how to read. Can’t learn how to regrow legs.

Laptop repair in one of those third party warranty shops where the manufacturer ships them to get them fixed under warranty. Fucker had the best quality control numbers in the shop.

I knew a guy who would get absolutely wrecked on his lunch break in his car, and show up early thinking he was late because he was high as a kite on hard drugs.

You couldn’t tell unless he told you. He was a top performer. Probably the only person I’ve ever met that was a well functioning drug abuser, and that’s an understatement, the guy was fucked out of his mind all the time and to everyone around him he was perfectly coherent and capable.

Dude no kidding, I drove for a living for a while and before I did I loved driving. Since then I get ridiculously anxious on the highways, I hate driving in the city and I even moved away partly to avoid the traffic.

Oh god which time.

I was coming down the highway, cruising the speed limit. No sign of slowed traffic in front of me. Left lane, construction wall to my left, no shoulder. I see a cop on the side, lights on, glance over for maybe 1 or 2 seconds to see what’s going on, look back in front and I’m 10 feet from the back of an 18 wheeler dead stopped, all lanes dead stopped traffic. My lizard brain took over and I managed to skid diagonally across the entire highway to the right shoulder without even thinking about it.

That’s the one that stands out where I wasn’t injured. It’s shit like that that makes me wonder if we die in moments like that and wake up in an alternate timeline or something.

Yes, but your naive (in the game theoretical sense; I’m not calling you naive) scheme is ripe for abuse.

The depositee (for lack of a better word) has no incentive to he honest in this scenario. He can lock the deposit, and even if he can’t get it without consent of the depositor, the depositor is out money unless he “comes to consensus” with the depositee. It’s lose lose for him, he would Either take half his deposit than lose it all. The depositee then has an incentive to hold him hostage, which means the scenario is not trust less for the depositor.

One way to do this is if the contract says “the depositor will not store this specified set of files with these hashes” that way it could he programmatically proven to the contract that the rules weren’t violated. But then you need to know beforehand every file you don’t want them to store, this is infeasible.

This is why most schemes like this have some type of arbitrator, a third party that gets paid to resolve disputes. But then at that point, IMO you’re back where you started: going to court. There are very few niche scenarios where this scheme is better than the status quo.

When I’m away from home I do the best I can.

But I’m looking for a hands free solution!

No actually. I hop in the shower after every shit.

Would you trust the cleanliness of your butthole after using it to dry it off with your bath towel?

Yeah but I just don’t see how it gets everything.

If you’re getting upvotes in this thread you’re a lemming that believes what everyone else does and you only allow yourself to consider socially acceptable ideas. Your beliefs are based on social proof, not introspection or critical thinking.

Another one: about 50% of the population are destined to be poor wagies and there’s nothing you can do to help them.

Ok I know that I have to dry my pooper when it’s wet, I don’t know why I’m getting down voted it was a serious question, my candor is abrasive maybe? I just don’t see how you can wash your ass without touching it, and I’m looking for technique recommendations so I can use one of these things.

So, how do you bidet to squeaky clean without touching your shit covered asshole? I know Indian people run water down the small of their back with a pitcher and wash that way, with their hand. Then they wash their hand. I’d like to avoid getting shit on my hands.
