You hiring?

I wanted to be an archeologist.

Not only did I fail at my dreams I gave them up for the lie of "job security".

We're currently living in the Grift Age of civilization.

Despite my best efforts I do act like a dumbass at times.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

You're correct.

I thought he was a bot. I was wrong.

So when I see several paragraphs, a "call to action", and then links to donate money; what I see is information overload, emotional appeal, and then payout.

There are so many scammers and bots out these days I believe I've become paranoid.

EDIT: Honestly I can't think of a good way to ask for money over the internet.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Sorry I'm on edge. If I still had a job I'd donate.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

If that's the case then sorry, you have laid this out to raise several red flags.

SCAM!

Edit: I apologize this isn't a scam. The blocks of text and asking for money triggered my "internet instincts".

I've been very stressed lately and have been doing some window shopping to calm down. I'm interested in gadgets, but a lot of things can just be replaced with apps. I realize a phone won't replace very large appliances like refrigerators or washing machines so I'm trying to scope my question to portable devices. So what are some portable devices or gadgets that their specialization hasn't been replaced by smart phone apps? Extra points if they're super useful and reliable.

When I was a kid my family owned a device whose sole purpose was to rewind vhs tapes.

I don't own decorations of any kind for any holiday. I live alone and I don't really celebrate much of anything. So my questions are:

  1. Do you decorate your home, office, automobile, etc. at all?
  2. If so which holidays?
