  • I’m with you.

    Give gifts because you want to, when you want to, and if you need ideas - ASK.

    There’s no reasonable reason not to ask or communicate directly with the recipient if you genuinely don’t know what they want - or even what they prefer within a group of things they may have mentioned.

    Also, holidays in the USA are heavily commercialized and this should be avoided, especially when teaching kids financial literacy.

    Being susceptible to advertising is dangerous- kids need to understand that finances act as war against citizens, by deceiving, trapping, and manipulating us into debt for things we don’t need or that don’t work.

    Financial literacy and refusing to give in to advertising makes a stronger person. It doesn’t mean we don’t have Xmas, it means we stick to our budget and ignore advertising in favor of research, reviews, and actual data about what we want.

    Proton has cooperated with subpoenas on multiple occasions leading to the user’s arrest.

    While they may challenge them, the point is that they have cooperated and thus are not reliable. There are no reported cases of Mullvad doing the same.

    There are ample links from multiple sources that describe this with a simple search.







  • AI has unreliable results for all but morons who can’t tell the difference due to lacking basic reading comprehension skills.

    The fact that its essays and other output are considered at all “good” is an indicator of how poor our education system really is. Most are objectively bad.

    That said, I’m far more comfortable with China getting my data from it than the USA. But there’s zero reason for me to use it in the first place.
