    Why not? Mail is much more protected legally than online transactions are.

    Except mail is easily lost or stolen and cash cant be traced.

    This is why you don't send over $100

    I used to send €10 O_o
    Mostly because I liked getting all the different stamps to send it with.

    It would take quite a while in the end. Print address to envelope, print code, insert money, close envelope, take out all the stamps, calculate the combination to get right value, check the available stock for each stamp, recalculate (no way I am using ones out of stock), take a soft brush, dip in water, wet the stamps, stick them on, make sure they're on well, let dry, take to mailbox, wait up to 10 days for it to arrive and get credited.

    You could print a random letter or graphic(s), preferably on heavier paper, and wrap the cash inside. That should make it a little harder to feel or spot on x-ray.

    Except that most postal services prohibit sending cash, and will therefore not give a shit if the cash gets lost

    Most postal

    First example of allow cash letters: https://www.deutschepost.de/de/e/einschreiben/kuendigung-abo-themen/geld-verschicken.html

    Registered mail is allowed with an amount of up to 100€ (insured).
    And the recipient has to accept it personally.

    This is what Mullvad says on their payment page.

    Following these instructions helps us to process your payment more quickly

    Do not use the same token more than once. Do not send coins, checks, or money orders. Do not send parcels or boxes. Do not seal the envelope with excessive amounts of tape. Do not use registered mail. Do not send large amounts of cash. Expect post to take at least two weeks before it arrives in our PO box. We check our PO box and credit accounts every day of the working week. Please be patient if your account has not been credited. We deal with payments as quickly as we can.

    I guess they aren't saying that they won't accept registered mail, just that it will take longer to process.

    Yesterday I tried Proxy Store for the first time (previously I used German Amazon), I'll see how that ends up. Though I wasn't able to pay with card, because PayPal. Apparently, we now have instant bank transfers accross entire SEPA, so it was sent out on the same day.

    Apparently, we now have instant bank transfers accross entire SEPA

    We've had those for nearly a decade, some banks just took ages to update their apps and websites to actually make use of it for all eligible payments because of course they did.

    Just 4 years ago, it cost like 3 or 7 euros to transfer money to Revolut from Swedbank Estonia and it took a business day, because it was considered a foreign transfer and Swedbank had "domestic transfers" and "foreign transfers" as separate options and the former couldn't send to a Lithuanian IBAN and the latter didn't use SEPA Instant. Other Estonian banks did it instantly already by then.

    Considering how bad the influence of masculinism has become, I find it more and more discomforting to see this image used to mean good, right and proper. This feeds into the horrible standards they push and promote.

    Pretty sure I've actually seen this image used against the manosphere people more than anything, with the Andrew Tate types being depicted as Soyjaks.

    The masculine thing is to treat women with respect and equality, rather than attempting to lord over them and pretend we (men) are somehow better or importanter. The latter is a sign of being insecure, not masculine.

    Soyjaks

    Which is another harmful stereotype around the manly meat-eater vs. weak 'soyboy' tropes (which also has a history in anti-Asian racism)

    Is this a bit where you play a caricature of a 2010 Tumblr user? Soyjak is the name of the meme character.

    Which is the soyboy trope:

    Soyjaks are a group of internet memes that are black and white drawings depicting the soy boy stereotype,

    I've understood it to mean something more like "did the thing that others said I couldn't/shouldn't" rather than right or proper. Not just doing the right things, but flexing on the haters who think you couldn't.

    I'm kinda with you though, it makes me uncomfortable every time
