More to the woman. My girl once complained about me leaving the seat up.

For years, I always put the seat AND the lid down.

All of us leave the seat and lid down. The whole seat up/down argument is pretty ridiculous.

I have a cat. Toilet lid is shut unless actively in use otherwise there will be the worst kind of wet cat loose in the house because she's dumb and clumsy.

I joined a union and organized the election of a workers council at my workplace.
Union dues are 1% of my salary.

In the past 5 years, we managed to enforce:

  • the right to work from home
  • 20% pay for the time spent on call after hours, plus 1 day paid vacation for each week you're on call (so I now have 42 days + unlimited sick days)
  • a company car for on call duty, which you're allowed to use privately, too
  • work phones for every employee (instead of having to install the company MDM on your private phone)
  • convertible desks for everyone
  • and a substantial pay raise

This post was about little things, no need to show your gigantic balls here.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It began with a little thing, simply writing an e-mail to the union, and kind of grew from there.

I say no to cookies

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I have a friend who way back when, like decades ago, probably before the extensive surveillance we have now, would do something rather ingenious and devious to get major discounts on whatever expensive things he wanted at stores: he would print out a sheet of barcode stickers for a product that was similar but much cheaper than the one he wanted and plaster it on a bunch of the items like the one he wanted. Take it to the cashier and get a super discount.

For example, if he wanted some fancy model of an electronics gadget, he would print barcodes of a much cheaper but similar model from the same manufacturer. According to him, he had even done this for fancy cuts of meat. The reason for applying it to a bunch of them and not just the single one he planned to buy was for plausible deniability. If someone questioned him, he could say, I don't know, I just picked one off the shelf - they could go check and see that there were many labeled as the cheaper item.

Run every reasonable possible method of ad-blocking. From whole-house PiHole with uBlock, Privacy Badger, anti-tracking, VPN, and more. F/OSS software when possible.

I deny all the cookie banners

I have never paid rent or utilities or electricity.

Currently live off grid on land I own using solar power. We have all electric appliances. Generator uses propane but only use it 1-2 times a year so it’s rare to refill the tank.

The dump is only a few dollar when we take our trash (under $10) every few months.

Self host on a NAS, have home assistant that helps a ton with power monitoring and control.

My goal in a few years is to provide almost all my needs from my own land. Food, water, shelter, power, etc.
