Micr0byte<p><strong>corporations are inherently evil</strong></p><p>take starbucks for example. they're literally running a shadow bank. you load money onto their app and boom, you just gave them an interest-free loan. they get to invest your money while you wait to spend it, plus a chunk of gift card balances never get fully used so that's just free money for them. why would you want to load money? because otherwise you don't get any "rewards" so it feels like you are missing out. genius scam tbh</p><p>but here's the really dystopian realization I have had. if you want to fight corporate bullshit, you need to use... more corporate bullshit. company won't give you a refund? well you can do a chargeback! oh wait, that requires having a credit card, which means participating in the debt economy that's designed to trap you</p><p>so you can either be responsible with money, pay cash/debit, get zero protection when corps screw you over OR play the debt game, risk financial ruin, but get some consumer protection</p><p>it's rigged at every level. want to complain publicly? use corporate social media. need legal help? most people can't afford lawyers. customer service? that's just theater designed to waste your time until you give up</p><p>the "solution" to corporate abuse is always more corporate involvement. there's no independent way to get justice, every avenue of recourse is controlled by other profit-driven entities</p><p>this isn't a bug, it's a feature. we've created legal entities whose primary obligation is profit maximization and then all of us act shocked when they behave exactly like sociopaths</p><p>anyway that's my rant for today. time to go give corporations more money because my earbuds broke. (hm it's almost as if they were designed to break right after the warranty ran out)</p><p><a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/corporations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>corporations</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://wetdry.world/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>enshittification</span></a></p>

abadidea<p>Reminder towards no-one specific that highlighting, doodling, or otherwise marking up your own books is *fine*, and historically normal! A lot of people get scolded in school for marking up a textbook or library book, because those will be shared between many people, and internalize the idea that the paper surface of a book is sacrosanct and must not be defiled. But people all over the world have been in dialogue with their books for thousands of years. </p><p>Your copy of your book is *your* book, and if marking it helps you, then the book is better serving its purpose.</p>
