@Michael569 Hey, how's it going with the reMarkable? I might buy one myself.

Standing on the shoulders of giants!

Minor swindle I did some work for a cousin, charged a cheaper rate as I was inexperience and it was family (naive stage blue), They immediately exploited my cheaper rates and gave us extra work. I was charging day rate, and must have been nearing to the original quote for the main work (not the extra work), and was told by her dad (who i was staying with) that they were "running out of money", by this time I was working on the extra job which they were basically getting done for free. They said I had to get it finished in 3 days. It took 6 days and wasn’t paid for those last three days. I rang the dad afterwards saying I was underpaid, a few days later got a text from my cousin going along the lines of "what's the problem???" and contained a lot of "?" marks in the text and making a big deal about it. Said I expected more money, and was told that they "ran out of money" and "the other contractors quoted the same for all that extra work." I was blatantly getting gaslighted but didn’t know it at the time. I know she's lying because 1. how her parents reacted when I told them it was gonna take longer. 2. her husband works in finance. And if they did "run of the money" they could of just saved up and then payed up. Lesson learned: do not underestimate how petty people can be. Narcissists/sociopaths make up about 4%-15% of the human population. (I think)

I don't know

@Husseinisdoingfine The human chain highlights collectiveness, it's not just a "single act of kindness".
