Ok, I guess you're technically right; you didn't, in fact, ask for suggestions. But your post heavily implies that you are. Because why else would you be asking? Just to learn what other people are doing with no particular goal? Usually people ask such questions to get some ideas.

You were asking for suggestions of activities to spend your "free" time on, and then dismissed suggestions because they don't pay.
You also dismissed some other great suggestion completely, like programming and making art, drawing, composting etc.
Assuming your game interests aren't strictly limited to Call of Duty and FIFA, you might be interested in making games and game related art, like pixel art, 3D models, chiptune music, etc. There's tons of free tools for creating those and practically unlimited resources to learn from.

I didn't say ending at one, I meant specifically 1. As in minimum volume.

1 is also an allowed exception, IMO.

The broke dumbasses do it for sport.
And those definitely are Rules of Acquisition, if slightly reworded, but I don't find them relevant to the situation. Perhaps the following rules are a better fit from the protective of the "donors":

#33. Never hurts to suck up to the boss.
#34. War is good for business.
#285. No good deed ever goes unpunished.

This is misleading. The models mentioned won't get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn't have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

But there's no profit in giving money to needy school kids. There's profit in propping the candidate that's gonna cut your taxes.
There's probably a Rule of Acquisition for this.

I wanted to do the "that's bait" joke, but this is so bait, that doing the joke would just be stupid.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the "Adstronaut in Ad Space" joke anywhere else.

Usually I recognize the gonewild regulars on Lemmy by their body parts. I recognize you by your smile.
This says a lot about society, or something, IDK.

That only works with John Cena.
