      I pick up litter

      When there's litter, people don't think much about adding to it, so I just pick things up so that people are less inclined to lazily drop their shit

      Same! I keep the street clean and it shows because it looks so nice. People really like that but don't generally notice. Le sigh.

        I gave my younger cousin my Z Fold 5 for free. I got a new phone and he said he wanted a foldable so it made sense

          I bought my niece a new MacBook Air. Her exceptionally poor, rural, Bible belt upbringing hasn’t stopped her from excelling academically. She needs a new computer and her family was going to buy her a $200 chromebook. But she’s off to college in a year and I knew that wouldn’t cut it. Here’s hoping it gets her to graduation.

            I ordered the D&D Essentials Kit and Starter Set for a friend's child, whom I respect a lot. They expressed interest in D&D but didn't know where to start

              I've given 2 strangers strangers a jumpstart in a parking lot at night over the last year or so. I suppose technically those people I helped know about it, but I haven't been going around bragging about it to anyone (until now I guess)

                This could be nice or a mild nuisance but I left a bag of edibles on the beach for someone to find. Did it to make quiting edible easier

                    I love on the top floor of my apartment, parking in the lowest level

                    If a car pulls in when I'm in the elevator room, I'll send it back down to the bottom parking lot after I get off on the top floor. They will never know

                      Donated a bunch of money to my daughters school for some extra classes of health and nature things. 750€ for 3 years.

                            Oh, I had completely forgotten that I did something similar!

                            To cross the rails, you have to go under them through a tunnel. Someone on crutches took the elevator down while I was carrying my electric scooter and heavy backpack down the steps. I'd make it to the other side before them and could ride the elevator up myself (I thought it would be weird to stand inside, waiting for them), but the person looked like they weren't having the best day on these crutches. So I walk through the tunnel and order the elevator, but turn around and take the stairs up myself, just as they're exiting the elevator on the other side so they didn't see me order it. When I reach the top of the stairs, they just pushed the button and the elevator was right there waiting for them ^^

                            (As for sending the elevator down to where I know someone will be coming, yeah I do that all the time as well since there's no reason not to tell the system where it makes sense to go)

                              Does she do graphic design, or why would an Apple be better than any other brand for half the price?

                              Of course a 200$ laptop isn't very usable, but why pay thousands of dollars extra just to have an Apple logo and get the kid introduced to vendor lock-in

                                I clean all the rubbish and leaves out of all the drains on my street and the nearby park so it doesnt flood every time it rains and saves the council sending someone out to do it.

                                Its fun and I like doing it.

                                  Said here before, I clean the local woods on every trip. I can tell where I haven't been for awhile by the trash.

                                  It's made a serious impact! Ya know, the whole "broken windows" thing? Most of the crap is from 3 things:

                                  • People chunking beer cans. I can understand (without condoning) that they're likely underage and don't want to get busted.
                                  • Snack wrappers. Again, likely kids given the waste I find. That's on the parents.
                                  • Crap that floated down from higher ground. People see trash and assume it was chunked on purpose. Nope. Tons of it simply flooded down from spilled trash cans, fell out of the car when exiting, shit like that.

                                  We ALL litter, believe that. No matter how hard we try our waste gets away from us. Hell, I've found my own beer cozies on various trails, 4 times in the last year. I find my own crap at our camp every trip. "How the fuck did I drop that?!" Oops. Pick up more than you can possibly lose. That's all a man can do.

                                  LOL, my kid's when boating, "No daddy! Don't go mess with that!" Now? They're actively hunting trash and fishing tackle. Hell, my wife was the same way and now makes us turn around for fishing bobbers.

                                    People think I'm unpleasant to be around but if I wasn't trying as hard as I can to be nice, I'd be the next Hitler or something. They don't see that effort though. Chronic pain sucks.

                                      A Unix-based system has value far beyond graphic design. A Mac will get software support for many years. The hardware quality and battery life are second to none.
