I’m guessing your supermarket uses those fog thingies? They’re not used everywhere, i.e. not all produce is wet.

Same, I’ve yeeted mine across the road and it’s still fine.

Bought a repairable phone and only use a screen protector now. If it were to break it’s not that expensive a repair (never paid more than $500 for a phone anyways, seems ridiculous to me), and I’ve dropped it plenty of times and it hasn’t broken yet in nearly 4 years. Doesn’t seem necessary.

Of course there’s no easy answers, but your post reminded me of the following:
Hannah Arendt’s essay ‘On Violence’. Power stems from people collectively working towards change, strength etc. is violence. Anarchism requires a collective desire which is anti-coercion and anti-violence. Arendt was partly inspired by Rosa Luxemburg’s views on spontaneous revolution.
Graeber’s ‘Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology’ and le Guin’s fictional novel ‘The Dispossessed’ give some insight into what is required for maintaining anarchist ways of organizing. In brief: you leave, divorce yourself from oppressive systems and start over elsewhere.
Which is of course difficult if not impossible on a planet which has been near entirely colonized. Somewhat more philosophical, anarchism requires the dissolution of notions of property. Agamben writes on monastic forms of life, which seem rather anarchist to me, in ‘The Highest Poverty’. Graeber and Wengrow mention the ‘sacredness’ of objects in ‘The Dawn of Everything’, which is a terribly deep anthropological and philosophical rabbit hole, but there’s some interesting connections between sacred objects and possession.
All books mentioned are worth the read of course, imo.

You can also just block element with uBlock to get rid of it, no need for an additional extension.

The video responds much better than I could. But in short, Gary doesn’t believe the housing prices to fall until the rich are taxed more. So get in soon if you can, it’s only going to get worse.
Might be wrong, who knows. I’m not able to buy a house currently anyways so I’d have to wait either way.

Recently watched this interesting Gary Stevenson interview.
Not very optimistic but might give you some ideas.
Tl;dr: do everything you can to buy a house and get the rich taxed (much) more.

and it’s not like anyone watches anyone else.
Unfortunately some people are creeps. The University of Toronto had to partially reverse their all-gender shower policy shortly after implementing it.
