Heya fedi friends, I'm looking for a bit of advice.
I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to sell old electronics, computers, parts, brony merch, books, car parts/tools, etc. I have probably 200-300 unique items to sell, although some might get bundled up where logical. I would use eBay, but the last time I sold something on the platform they took about 22% of my profits just in fees (NOT taxes), which seems a bit steep.
I'm looking into building a small e-commerce website to sell these items myself. The main goal is to pay less in fees vs eBay, and a secondary goal would be to add "created functional e-commerce website for personal use" or similar to my resume.
I'm currently evaluating WordPress + WooCommerce, but I'd love suggestions. Per-transaction fees are fine (most seem to stay below 3% + $.50) but I want to keep my recurring monthly fees as low as possible. Also, I'm software-savvy but far from a full stack web developer.
Appreciate any guidance!
Useful thing on YouTube for organising for anyone who has a big back catalogue of 'Watch Later' videos which I have used daily for over 10 years.
This trick allows you to put back catalogue videos back at the top. You can click on the dots in the playlist, keep this window open, save to playlist, remove it from that playlist, then add it back again, then leave the window, then those select videos should be back at the top.
This is a great trick. Mine reached 140 videos at one point, mainly due to not having the time to watch them, but most of these videos are anywhere from 10 mins to 30 mins, something to watch during dinner. But sometimes the latest videos get lost among these and sometimes important videos. This trick fixes it.
Insane Advice"What stands in the way becomes the way."
I got this quote from a Medium newsletter that advises to see hard times as an opportunity to really live your values, "to insist on whats right. To fight for change where you can. To put your efforts where they make a positive difference."
Real world problems are complex. Anyone proposing a single "simple solution" doesn't know what they're talking about.

UK Mastodoniers - I am looking for a mains multi-gang. It has to be a tower form-factor, like in the attached image, and it must have a switch for each socket. These are my only criteria and they are essential - if the switches control pairs or rows they are useless to me.
USB sockets would be a bonus but are not important.
Any pointers very gratefully received: I have been unable to find anything, anywhere!
honestly I think I could do it. Only because being a therapist isnt the same as being a social worker, friend, or coworker.
Depending on modality (especially Person-Centred / Humanistic), you can Socratic-Method someone in a guiding way, but youre not reeeeally supposed to advise.
(Im training, not qualified, mostly regurgitating this weeks topic notes.)
Behavioural Experiments in CBT is about (iirc, as NOT trained expert)
getting the person to first talk about the situation, then in any order:
notice their thoughts, feelings / emotions, bodily sensations, and behaviours.
I may vibe more with Psychodynamic (yes the freud one, no not the exact same, no not hypnotism, yes focused on how experiences inform inner monologue etc, I think).
.
I think Humanistic / Person-Centred is best suited for people who havent done much introspection yet, or havent felt empowered to fully explore their options.
(According to my class materials, this theory asserts that the client is the expert on their life and how to respond to situations.)
I think CBT is good for people who might know what they want but not how to get it, or need external structure, or have a discrete event or common situation they cant resolve satisfiably.
(Class says both / all act as co-creators of meaning I argue the counsellor is considered the expert, since theyre the one setting goals.)
.
I think (newer) Psychodynamics is better if you know what your daily challenges are, youve already depleted obvious responses and interventions, or you know you need dedicated time to unearth deep traumas or Complex PTSD.
For lurkers: c-PTSD doesnt mean interesting or harder.
My definition is that the mistreatment
(anything beyond your ability to cope with what you had / knew at the time)
was repeated, often by a caregiver or someone with (real or perceived) authority, and with no reliable escape.
(Class says practitioner is expert I argue meaning is co-created because the therapist cant do shit if you dont say shit, nor do they know what significance you attach to anything.)
(InB4 someone says racism isnt a mental illness, which is true!
But any definition of mental illness is socially or societal constructed and condoned.
Being gay was a mental illness within living memory.)
In my opinion, the two best ways to roast someone is to do what they do but back to them in some way, or debunk the whole faade/existence.
This happened to me recently with a troll comment. Which I keep on purpose because it's free views and free promotion. The comment was saying my music was bad, without explaining why, followed by "I want to drink bleach."
My response did the latter of what I mentioned. "You didn't give reasoning so you don't actually think it's bad." Although I probably should have replaced think with 'understand why'
Very simple, very informative, and quite embarassing to be on the receiving end.
i think
you are scared
that I'm right
about what you
don't want to be true

We really need to start teaching people not to make absurd claims like "Feeding pets a vegan diet is cruel"
Because there are MANY people, who get away with far worse things. But because you promote non-issues like 'vegan pets' and call them out, over someone who does literally abuse animals, that's a hell of a thing to do, and it begs the question of who the actual animal abuser is in this situation.
Not to mention, even a claim like "feeding pets a vegan diet is bad" needs demonstrable evidence to back it. Whether it's really bad or whether it's cruel. But because there's no evidence, it doesn't really care about how you feel about it. And neither would the pet's family.
By extension of that, this is literally crying wolf.
When something bad actually does happen, nobody will believe you. Which again, begs the question, who is the actual animal abuser here
