Are we only allowed happy answers in these posts?

Feel free to add as many red faces as you want. I often feel like I shouldn’t be allowed to be angry at crap. Like I’m supposed to be above it as an adult.

I’ll start. Booked a hotel next weekend via a big blue hotel booing site. Get a phone call today from the accomodation provider asking for payment. Told them to take it via the booking site. They say no, and I will lose my reservation. Booking site says pay the accomodation direct. Go on the accomodation site and I can’t book for the days I wanted. WTF arrrrrgh.

watching pirated streaming sucks compared to OG torrent way in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Probs my next move. Waiting to move house and will likely do this…maybe with jellyfish. I am trying to degoogle and amazon and currently stremio is on firestick. Stremio has been great but as I said it’s not totally immune to outside factors. Thanks for the note. It helps that others have success and share so, it makes the leap seem smaller.

Hobbies Wednesday - what have you done this week? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee
[–] Skellysgirl@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Used up some crochet squares, to make a bag. Will gift it for someone’s birthday. Also order more yarn for another project. Reminded myself I am my own worst enemy.

This has been working for me for a whilst however if one of the links in the chain goes down at some point then you have nothing to watch. I might even have to talk to my family!

I’m gonna start considering local server. I remember the good old days of getting up in the middle of the night to check limewire.

This really is what me and my friends do in c/memes@sopuli.xyz

Ha I miss the gold old days of teenage drinking and drugs. Where you talked to your friends and ran around a field yelling. It really did help get a lot of stress out. I still feel like teens and you adults are not allowed to be just that and do stupid shit.

They have used our spending to imprison us. No more. in c/Mirror@50501.chat

Spoiling is a good tactic to stop yourself from being tempted. It’s like pouring excessive vinegar over your food to stop yourself picking when full.

We need more practical tactics like this to help wean.

Anyone ever want to pirate for moralistic reasons? (lemm.ee)
 

I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

How do you keep under consuming whilst also being frugal and away from big tech? (lemm.ee)
 

I am trying to consume less in my life and also spend a little less, because one of the few voices I have is spending and its better in my bank than a corps. I have been trying to either buy used, or buy better value items, and or avoid plastics etc.

I am stating to notice what can only describe as small barriers, I know its just inconvenience and habit but I am hoping for some suggestions that can help me overcome the hurdle.

As an example I have been trying to buy some new utensils, I would prefer nice ergonomic ones metal and wood. But when I try reviews there is so much sponsored/ click here to buy blogs. Its hard to find decent reviews, when tying to choose and under consume getting the right thing researching is an important step. Even then purchasing decent quality is dominated by big stores amazon/dept stores etc. I was looking at OXO good grips but they are still heavily plastic and they only have decent ranges in amazon or John Lewis. Its not about the utensils, its more the barriers inbetween. I have enjoyed these conveniences that have now trapped me in a way.

Another example when trying to buy used items, it is so hard to do this without marketplace.

Anyone else feeling this?
