@forever@fedi.nullob.si dear internet stranger who evie probably knows idk:

NO >:(((

(She’s trying to make me get a mastodon ;-;)

I have a really really awesome and hot girlfriend who’s super cute and deserves lots of love and attention

also I’m really smart and very hot and deserve lots of love and praise and I want to talk to people but I get anxious and claim I’m being “mysterious” when I’m really just being antisocial. Please start a conversation with me if you’d like!!

(I love you, Evie. Bet you regret making me try Mastodon on your phone now, huh ;P)

yeah, new high score! I’m rocking it today 😧

(Oh dear)

@grob @DaveHowe Bitcoin being similar. You pay an extortionate fee to have fast transactions, or you must wait hours for your transaction to be completed in a batch of other transactions.

@grob @DaveHowe Agree, last time I looked at Ethereum, they had gas/transaction fees of £25–50. Besides their other issues, cryptocurrency is useless for this.

@DaveHowe Agree with #1, but for #2 I don’t think I’ve carried cash for a decade, most of the vending machines here are card payment by default, but if you only have cash, then they are exact change. Same for buses. Some stores here have even stopped taking cash all together, cash is on the way out…

My local supermarket also have coinless trollies now, too… (not that I use them, I don’t own a car so can’t buy that much bulk shopping)

@derwinmcgeary I’ve heard this is an EU law! Although most switched from card fees to minimum card spend amounts, when they really should raise prices. They’re there for convenience, not budget bulk buying.

@noiob I’d pay double for the drink just so I don’t miss my expensive as heck train. Convenience doesn’t mean buying bulk £5 worth of stuff, it means buying a couple items but at a more expensive price than a supermarket! The people interested in convenience aren’t interested in saving 30p on a drink, they don’t want to miss their £115 train ticket which departs in 4 minutes…
