Welcome to capitalist hell, where more companies congratulate you on your birthday than human beings.

PaulaToThePeople 😷1d ago

To be honest today its a draw: 3 people and 3 companies so far. But two companies already sent me congratulatory discount codes via email upfront.
Of those 5 emails from 5 companies only two had working unsubscribe links. One of those was only to unsubscribe from birthday mails.

And I don't remember giving any of those companies my (real) birth date.

By now:
1. humans in the Fediverse. ♥️
2. humans outside the Fediverse via text or call.
3. companies.
4. humans face to face.

@PaulaToThePeople Happy Birthday Paula!
(now at 3 people, 3 companies and 1 bunny)

@KarlHeinzHasliP Thank you. I always thought bunny was just a synonym for rabbit (Hase). Now I learned that in English apparently rabbit and bunny are both used for Kaninchen too.
(I mean, most people don't distinguish them in German either, but in theory there is a difference.)

@PaulaToThePeople The Swiss Häsli can be either a Küngeli (Kanninchen) or a small Hase, but this one does not insist on highly differentiated descriptors.

@PaulaToThePeople happy birthday 🖤 💜

@transform Thank you. 💛 🖤 💜

@PaulaToThePeople First, happy birthday (and I'm pretty close to being a human being, so it's safe to place those congrats on that side of the page.)
Second, it was recently my birthday, and the capitalists failed to squeeze a purchase from me. This could be because, when they needlessly want a date of birth, I get terribly confused and may not always give them the actual day. I'm sorry about that. I'm sure it's a known medical condition, an involuntary nervous reaction to an excessive demand.

@withaveeay Thanks. Oh yeah, commercials and discount codes have no effect or the opposite of the intended effect on me. Send me unsolicited messages and your brand is dead to me.

I can honestly say that I don't own a single product that I saw a commercial for before purchase (with only very few exceptions for groceries).

@PaulaToThePeople Happy birthday from an actual human 🙂🤗 (I hope eventually we will match or surpass the corporate bot greetings)

PaulaToThePeople 😷1d ago

@fanden The Fediverse already delivered big time. By now even humans outside the Fediverse surpassed corporations today. Though face to face it was only 2 humans so far. 😉

@bangskij Thank you. ♥️

@PaulaToThePeople I think I'll write something that sends "Happy Unbirthday" messages every day. It will only be wrong 0.27% of the time.

@BlackWolf Thanks.
