  • I don't see much of a "fuck corporate greed" around me. And there are some things are much better overseas, like cheap IOT gizmos. Purchasing a cheap relay is much easier from the bigger brands on Aliexpress than from a local manufacturer

  • And that is exactly the reason to use a seedbox. You can leave it in the cloud to seed at gigabit speeds whilst you can download at your leisure and not worry about tormenting at all on your computer. Also it's less expensive than Mullvad but you likely can't pay with XMR/cash if that's a deal breaker

  • And where am I getting such cheap clothes if I don't have a thrift store near me? I'd happily take them for free.

    And clothes are just one part of it, which I don't really purchase that often (I mentioned them because I bought a few boxers to wear around the house but that's it)

  • After coming back from a break, I realised I might have leaned too hard into "protecting Chinese companies". I will say this right now for everyone reading: I have no love for the nationality of said companies. I don't care if Aliexpress or a clone of theirs was Chinese, Korean, Brazilian, Swiss, Russian, Iranian, Australian or Japanese (incidentally I spend time on buyee.jp because the cheap deals on CDs sometimes). What I care about is providing competition to the bigger mammoths here. If I find a USB adapter for a quarter of the price with free shipping and refunds from a Chinese shop with a decent reputation (Aliexpress, Banggood, TaoBao and now TEMU), I'll take it. I hope this forces big American retailers to maybe give better, fairer prices to their customers.

    I'm not quite convinced that Amazon is no longer the giant with worms as we knew it. Can you explain?
