    To be fair, your parents aren’t technically wrong but they aren’t really correct either.

    While you can and should still trust people, at the end of the day everyone (including your parents) is in it for themselves and you will get stabbed in the back if someone can benefit from not. Not will benefit, but can benefit.

    I get what they are saying, but it shouldn’t be a trust no one, just be defensive in life and try to forecast why people want/need you at that moment. It’s not always for reasons that are good or will benefit you.






  • This isn’t brands were referring too. Internet and wifi are subjectively different things.

    It would be the same as saying ‘give me oil so I can moisturize my skin’ when you meant petroleum jelly, or Vaseline .

    Or, ‘hand me a towel to blow me nose’ when you meant Kleenex or tissues.

    (The towel one doesn’t really apply, but it’s just as stupid)

    Can you imagine asking someone to help you with your house electricity when the bulb is burnt? Electricity goes through the light bulb…but they aren’t the same thing and you’d be hard pressed to find someone who would give you proper answers like…change the light bulb.

    At the end of the day, wifi does not mean internet. And when you’re given wrong advice because you don’t understand that and choose to argue factually incorrect terminology, it’s your problem when things go wrong. Not the people who give you correct information for your poor word choices. Try learning instead of arguing.














  • I won’t, only because I have yet to see companies not constantly increase prices, decrease quality, push talks/articles about their high prices to normalize it, produce less to force fake scarcity to further increase costs…they don’t care one iota, why should I?

    I’m done pandering to companies and essentially treating them like they treat us (which is like shit). Companies this day and age, do not deserve to be given blind faith anymore. They shouldn’t be trusted, the worst should be assume until THEY PROVE otherwise.
