  • So I tend to dress “well”. I’m not great at fashion, but I shave every morning, force myself to spend a bit of money on nice tshirts, etc.

    On the weekends though, I let it all go. I go out to the store in my PJs, I don’t shave, I wear my hat and hoodie up, and to be honest look a bit like a thug. I notice people on the street are a little less comfortable walking by, however…

    One thing that stood out insanely was the grocery store. When I dress like a homeless person, it is night and day difference:

    • Cashier keeps the checkout stuff closer to them
    • While my card transaction is pending, if I start loading stuff in my bag they’re like “oh, oh wait… It’s still pending”
    • Even when I start the small-talk (“How is your day going?”), responses are short

    When I dress well:

    • Cashier doesn’t mind when I start loading my backpack even before paying
    • Cashiers always smile and ask how my day is

    I was planning on writing a blog post about it (plug to !dginovker_blog@lemmy.ml), but wanted to get more data points first










  • Pine64s “problem” was they only ever did the hardware. Like they sponsor some software, but they make and sell hardware. They gained a lot of popularity from the Pinephone, but very little changed internally at Pine64. They’re still the same they always were

    You’re referring to cars being glass powered ovens. But the fact the sign referred to a heating pad suggests this is probably in a cold place.

    I would smash a car window to save a dog or a baby if there were clear signs of neglect or overheating, but this shows neither. The fact you wrote this comment also shows your someone who blindly follows advice instead of thinking about when it applies.
