Americans, if you donate at least $60 to PBS, you get access to Passport, their streaming service.

The $60 can be a one time donation (access for a year) or $5 a month. (Or of course, you donate more if you have it.)

Passport streams all the PBS programming, so documentaries, mysteries, musical programs, and news that you can get through PBS. Like Grantchester or Wolf Hall or other period dramas, or Ken Burns docs, or cooking shows, travel shows, Lucy Worsley stuff, mysteries, Jane Austen. All the nerdy things!

You also will occasionally get notices about local events where you, as a PBS member, can get in free or discounted to museums or concerts in your area.

This is just a bonus. You can also just donate whatever, whenever you feel like it.

You select a local PBS station but your donation goes across the entire system. You can do monthly or one time.

Also some employers will match donations. Your employer might!

i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency

in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion

Very little! Also, for comparison, it's a bit worse at Amazon; I think Netflix/Google/Meta have better pay-to-stock ratios? But yeah, tech companies usually have your* salary be about half vested stocks that can just...disappear. It's great**! * "You" here refers to a non-C-suite developer who does actual work instead of simply talking to a chatbot all day. ** It is not, in fact, great.

curious to what extent you can negotiate a fatter flat salary with zero shares at these big name corps bc the alternative is just aggravated workplace gambling

what sucks about being a horny nerd is that your casual sexual fantasies will almost always develop increasingly elaborate storylines with deep lore
