    I don’t trust banking apps

    Yeah, even banks are something that’s forced onto us, that you actually just can’t live without in the current system. I also tried fighting it for a bit but the bank I’m with is trying to eliminate ATMs and making it really difficult to do online banking the old school way. And afaik, other banks are trying to do the same now. Just a matter of time before a vanilla smartphone is as much of a requirement as a bank account itself.

    I spent a long time typing that last paragraph and debating about whether or not to include it in this comment

    Yeah I was honestly just making a joke about the chic thing. It’s definitely not even close to mainstream. I really love your passion for this though lol. And I agree with the cause. Glad you stuck it out.

      That’s a really sad thing for a people to allow to be done to them. Like, idk about other people, but I’m never buying another apple or google product for the rest of my life. I think it’d be really weird if that became a death sentence, in which people like me could no longer access their own money to pay for necessities like food.

      Oh I know. I liked that it gave me an excuse to say that stuff in response though, and I was uncertain if I should make such a serious response to a joke. But I went for it cuz why not, lol.

      I really love your passion for this though lol. And I agree with the cause. Glad you stuck it out.

      tyvm for the appreciation 🩷
