100 tips for life

EDIT: THIS IS A CARRD NOW! it's updated and organized!!

EDIT EDIT: this is on my website now! this is the version that will be somewhat regularly updated. the carrd will remain, but will no longer be updated.

use overdrive, libby, hoopla, cloudlibrary, and kanopy instead of amazon and audible.

use firefox or librewolf (open-source fork of firefox) instead of chrome or opera (both are made with chromium, which blocks functionality for ad-blockers. firefox isn't based on chromium).

use mega instead of google drive

get rid of bloatware

use libreoffice instead of microsoft office suite

get free stuff with the help of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH, r/piracy and r/roms

make youtube bearable by using mtube, newpipe, or the unhook extension on chrome, firefox, or microsoft edge

use thriftbooks to buy new or used books (they also have manga, textbooks, home goods, CDs, DVDs, and blurays)

use library extension to look for books on online stores and find them at your library

remove paywalls with removepaywalls

install the open-source adblocker ublock origin

learn a language through mango (duolingo laid off some of its employees and now relies on AI translations) for free with a library card or through your school

edit photos with photopea

edit pdfs with foxit and sumatrapdf

download music with doubledouble

take notes offline and collaborate securely with obsidian

for android tv, use smarttube and cloudstream (ad-free, open-source)

change your OS to linux

Using "trans-exclusionary" as an identifier rather than "gender-critical" also completely disregards that radfems are not only critical of the concept of gender but wish to abolish it altogether. Semantically, the term "Gender Abolitionist Feminism" would make the most sense in my opinion.

"Women in Their 50s Spend an Average of $4,219 Per Year

^this is the lowest average spend! for women in their 20s, the number is

$9,314 PER YEAR

what could be achieved with thousands of extra dollars every year? how much are these women being held back by beauty standards? this is what I mean when I say it is profitable to induce insecurity in women - they are literally siphoning money from women's bank accounts and into the pockets of these companies. men are not expected to wear makeup or have beauty "treatments".

exercise: calculate how much you spend on beauty rituals. be honest with yourself about whether this is necessary. there are ways to wean yourself off of these practices until it becomes normal to exist in your unaltered state. what else could you do with the money? how could you improve the material conditions of your life, your health and stability? could you spend that money on enjoying life instead of worrying about what you look like?

If you took this money, contributed 9k yearly (or 750 monthly) and put it in 6% savings account you will have 64,820 dollars after 5 years.

65 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN 5 YEARS.

This is money that keeps you housed, fed and safe for 3+ years if you get sick or something happens.
