About 5 years ago our town centre introduced parking charges, so now one of us goes shopping while the other sits in the car looking out for parking enforcement so we can drive a loop around the carpark. We probably pay less than once per year, but we park there at least once per week. Saves us ~£100 a year.

I say anti-CCP stuff to trigger my parents lol.

They aren't even involved in the CCP in any way, like they're just originary people never been involed with the party in any way, but they have like some weird nationalistic glass heart that gets mad when I say anything anti-CCP.

Like... lmao what, are they afraid of the China's secret police? Why do we have to continue pretending to love CCP? We don't live in China anymore lol.

Like if they piss me off, I'm just gonna say anti-CCP shit to piss them off. I really wanna like make a WeChat account, add my parents, then spam their accounts and get them banned.

I remember a few years ago, my mom yelled at me so much and made me cry, so I just used a permanent marker and wrote (graffitied) "消滅中共，世界和平" on a wall inside our/their house [in the US], it's still there, I didn't know how to write the characters, so I just typed it in pinyinyin and used traditional characters for emphasis, they couldn't wipe it off the wall. That is a permanent mark of our relationship. That writing on the wall represents the scars of my traumatic childhood memories.

Like wtf, CCP literally tried to kill me (long story short: One Child Policy, I was the 2nd child), and they still like defend CCP as if there's a CCP secret police here in the US watching us. Fuck them, who cares.

(I just had an argument with parents so this comment might seem very angry and like a rant, whoops, I trauma dumped on the internet again)

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.

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

I say no to cookies

I rarely go anywhere, so I only shower once a week to save freshwater for other ppl on the planet, since ground water is running out.

Lemmy.

Bike to work!

I deny all the cookie banners

I geneally just whine a lot about code quality and post shit like this in the company slack for everyone else to see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B8vPXPjzA0
