Hello fellow adults! Anybody else feel like almost every time you have to talk to someone to buy a thing, you're being swindled? If so how do you keep yourself from being taken advantage of?

See title.

I constantly feel like any interaction with a sales person is just a big con. Whether it's a car, insurance, an apartment, internet, or a specialty item that I'm interested in but not an expert on. I always feel completely lost and uncomfortable and like no matter what decision I make I'm making the wrong one.

A Pivotal Human Ancestor Walked With Dinosaurs, Study Finds
  • This is wildly clickbaity. We've known forever that mammals existed alongside dinosaurs. Calling it a "human ancestor" is a bit misleading when really it's more like a rat/cat/dog than a hominid of any kind.

  • CD Projekt Red insists that Cyberpunk 2077's launch wasn't that bad, but 'it became a cool thing not to like it'
  • I definitely followed all of the marketing and was expecting about 3 or 4 more skill trees, more meaningful choices in side quests, and generally a more living world. Plus like, 20 hours of gameplay that got cut out and turned into a cutscene.

  • I feel like I should know this
  • A tankie is someone who supports the CCP or unironically supports the USSR/Russia. They're generally authoritarian leftists. The term tankie comes from the tanks used to crush people at Tianamen Square

  • Titan sub: What happens next after sounds detected in search
  • I hope they're able to bring them back up. Must be terrifying trapped on the sea floor. But also... seriously questioning the decision making process these supposedly super successful people go through.

  • Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
  • This kind of post right here is the gold standard for why I chose Kbin over other instances. Well reasoned, free of vitriol, and looking to build a new culture outside of the one a lot of us left behind on Reddit.
