Yes. I avoid the big brands, and try to research as much as possible. For clothes in particular i dont go clothes shopping often, but for groceries, I use the NoThanks app to see if the product is owbed by a company contributing to world suffering. If its a obe time purchase of somethibg like a mouse/keyboard or other such item where you biy it once but its meant to last, I do my best to avoid the same things, but if there is no choice I have to go with the less ethical version sadly.

Would you (personally) trust me to build a bridge you cross everyday on your way to work, as someone who has never built anything before (other than software)?

Haven’t celebrated a birthday since I was 5, I hate it.

I think on my 18th I just got up and went to school like normal. Didn’t tell anyone it was my birthday, so everyone acted like regular, then I went home and probably did what I did every evening back then, which is either youtube, games, or coding (one of those, i dont remember which specifically).
