Linux and buy tech second hand only when the wheels fall off. I don't buy branded clothes. Sail the seas. I boycott a lot of places/brands too.

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.

If you flush with the lid up you’re gross and I hate you

I say no to cookies

I use rags to clean up messes instead of paper towels. No reason to buy unnecessary things because capitalism says I need to throw away something dirty. Just throw them in the wash

Linux, use that hosts file, degoogle (and as much big tech in general as possible). Up next self hosting.

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.

I try to steal from the supermarket every time I go.

Be careful at places like Target and Walmart with their cameras. Target is no joke and supposedly lets you get away with it right up until you cross the limit for arrest/a serious charge.

This a more “a man” than “the man” but I had a boss I hated who was really into horoscopes.

So I learned all about them so I could memorize every one else’s sign and continue to forget his.

Good luck writing me up for that Rob. Oh wait you couldn’t anyway because I outlasted you!

He also insisted I write “inspirational quotes” on the weekly sales paper for my team to feal inspired . nietzsche it is.
