<p>Wake up. These mega corporations are too big to care now.  Most people are uninformed or unaffected. America has been brainwashed into a FU I got mine mindset.<p>The tiny fraction of people willing to vote with their wallet has effectively a 0% chance of pushing big corporate to act right.</p>

<p>The problem with every "should" idea is that *THE SYSTEM WORKS AS INTENDED*<p>The system is not there to help you or me. The system is to protect and accelerate the flow of money up to the 0.1% at any and all costs. It does not matter if it will destroy the environment or if the innocent people will die.<p>People need to wake up to this fact, band together, and fix it by any means necessary. Until that happens "should" ideas are wasted breath.</p>

<p>Life was extremely rigid not that long ago. People knew their place and did not break the rules.<p>I am not sure if this is better or worse than my idiot downstairs neighbors that would party every weekend til 3am with zero regard for any of their neighbors. Then they are banging on the ceiling at 4pm on a Wednesday because we were moving furniture around for 15 minutes.</p>

<p>privacy.com is one of my favorite companies.<p>They have saved me from fraud 2x in 3 years. Then I simply closed that "card" with the click of a button. No need to call my bank, cancel my debit card that I use at ATMs, and wait a week for a new card<p>I don't have to worry about remembering to cancel free subscriptions.  I set the card max at $1. This has saved me multiple times from the free trial scams that you need to opt out of. Free trials should be opt in after the trial.  Opt out is a scam to trickle money into a company from non customers.<p>They stopped a contractor from charging me over $2k when I specifically told them they needed to tell me how much before charging me. Of course they didnt tell me and tried to run the charge. Privacy put a stop to their BS.<p>It is mostly automatic or easy to set up once you are using Privacy. Some banks have started to offer similar digital card numbers similar to Privacy.</p>

<p>"gifting" women you barely know is a terrible strategy. This is the best way to land yourself a gold digger or some other undesirable. It signals to her that you are beneath her and are trying to buy her affection.<p>On one first date a woman I had been talking to for a week texted me late at night. I told her to show up at my house and for her to bring a bottle of red wine.  The next morning she is telling me a recent dating story. A guy took her out for a fancy meal. He spent $120 on her and then he got pissed after the meal when she wouldn't kiss him.<p>I have some success and plenty of failure too when it comes to dating.  There is so much bad dating advice out there for men. I feel bad for the men that are in the dark and being taken advantage of.</p>

<p>Hinge is a steaming pile of horse shit.  If any match complains about you they will ban you for life (Guilty without any investigation) and refuse to tell you the reason. Good luck with your appeal.<p>Before any SJW replies that I must be some troll here is the proof "Revenge reporting" is real. Revenge reporting happens to men too.<p><a href="https://www.stylist.co.uk/relationships/dating-love/dating-app-ban/481309" rel="nofollow">https://www.stylist.co.uk/relationships/dating-love/dating-a...</a></p>

<p>Most of the comments here report the opposite of the linked article.  Using Linux still seems to involve a significant amount of being your own IT department.<p>I have tried Linux a few times over the years. One test was for almost 2 weeks on vacation, in a developing country, where it wasn't safe to be walking around with a MacBook. Another was for a few days as a Linux home theater.  After struggling for hours with the sound drivers I gave up. I was frustrated with the amount of trouble shooting involved with Linux. That combined with preferring the OS has kept me on MacBooks for the past decade+.</p>

<p>Completely disagree. I have tried 3 fintechs. I still use two as my primary "banks".<p>They got rid of all the fees and BS the banks had been abusing me with for decades. There have been a few times traditional banking was better so I used a credit union I kept open.  All my other traditional bank accounts have been closed for years.</p>
