Not trying to stoke the flames here, but genuinely curious what phenomenon the meme is pointing too? Again, not trying to come from a place of concern trolling or anything. Please don't bully me~~~

Joke's on you, I have too much climate anxiety to throw anything out. I practically wash my toilet paper rather than flushing it.

42* years. Centuries are now 84 years. We are living in the 19th century! I rate this idea 12/12.

Maybe show your posts to a therapist and get an unbiased take?

Depending on the comfort level of your spouse, asking them to use their account would be best.

One of the forms of trust in Marketplace is how long the person's Facebook account has existed, how many friends they have, and whether there are photos. If you create a burner account with no photo, no connections, and "Joined Facebook in 2024", you'll have a rough start.

I have had people show up who don't match the account and they say it's their partner or whatnot, never phased me.

If you do decide to make an account, push people to rate your interactions after you make a successful purchase. After 3 messages are sent back and forth, you get an option to rate the seller and buyer. Just tell them you rated them well and would like a rating as you are new to Marketplace.

I do hate Facebook for what it is, but even here in Canada where Kijiji was once king, Marketplace has taken over. I care about the used market (and the positive effects on the environment) too much to pass it up.

He's probably the guy at my work who replies all to tell people not to reply all.

The problem with TSA is that it reduces our privacy and dignity in exchange for security (that security may be theatre). HTTPS is different because it increases privacy which allows us to keep more dignity (security that is not theatre.)

TSA is like needing to strip so that your clothes don't get wet while going out in the rain, while HTTPS is like wearing a raincoat so your clothes don't get wet while going out in the rain.

The company I work at would fail this test about two thirds of the time.

I started my engineering program at University not knowing what engineering was.

Thank goodness for that orientation session.
