Host of the podcast Almost Plausible, where I and a couple of friends take an ordinary object (such as a paperclip, eggnog, or a toilet brush) and come up with a movie plot based on that object.

    I wish Too Good To Go was in use in my city. My friend lives in Oakland and she uses it all the time. She said it’s a bit hit-or-miss, though. She’s shown up at some places and they’re like, “here’s a bag, fit it up with whatever and we’ll charge you $n for it.” Once it was a shelf of stuff and they said she could as much stuff as she wanted from the shelf for the same price. Once when I was visiting her, we got a huge bag of baked goods. If nothing else, it can help familiarize you with areas and businesses you may not have come across otherwise.

    I’d say don’t type out anything you wouldn’t want to send, not even as a joke. On multiple occasions I’ve seen people type a text or email as a joke, and then accidentally send it instead of erase it.

    By that same token, don’t send things you wouldn’t want others to see (or perhaps, be aware of unintended audiences). How often do we hear about nudes being shared? In another example, I once worked at a company that had too many bosses, and one of them shit talked me to my boss in an email. They replied back and forth a bit, and then my boss had a question for me about the project they were now discussing, so he forwarded me the entire email chain. I saw exactly what the other boss said about me, and there was no denying he was the one who said it. I immediately and permanently lost all respect for him.
