It's so relaxing. Doesn't have to be religious in any way, just nice to get out and be somewhere peaceful and not have it cost anything. Everyone is so nice too, it's a very progressive church.

I know not everyone loves church, but my church has an open building day you can come and co-work or just read or sit and relax and chat or whatever, we put out good local coffee shop coffee and tea, and you can hang around as long as you want in an old building with beautiful stained glass windows and use the WiFi, etc. We were talking about how there's not really anywhere much else you can do that without spending money, you can sit in the library but it's not like you can heat up your leftover spaghetti and sit on a comfy couch. It's really a nice way to spend a day.

Even regular new fridges are crap now. I bought an Amana fridge in 2008 or so, and by 2021 all the drawers had broken, and the jazz board part had to be replaced twice.

A strange thing to me, and maybe I'm thinking about it incorrectly, is that things on Amazon sometimes cost significantly less than in the store. My hair products are easily 5 dollars cheaper than the store. I hate Amazon and I realize I am paying for delivery, but I just don't get the economics of that.

Also, I live close to the US border and I will clothing shop there,it's WAY cheaper, and let's face it, it's all made in sweat shops regardless so might as well save a buck. Honestly department store pricing is just rigged, like if you go with the coupons and app offers and long weekend sales, etc, I can get a ton of clothes for under 400 dollars, which would not get me far at all in Canada, easily I quadruple the amount of clothes I can buy, even factoring for the exchange rate. When I read the receipt, everything is knocked off and under 25 dollars at the end of the sale. I don't get it.

Bought a brand of iced tea I never had before in the drugstore one day with cash, no points card or anything, got an ad on Instagram half an hour later. I had microphone and location turned off on Instagram, and location turned off on my phone altogether as I only turn it on when using the maps app.

Once glanced at a carton of soup broth in the store, just like you, got an ad on Facebook for it that night. Again location and microphone off, and I didn't even touch it. I don't use face recognition or biometrics or voice assistant stuff at all ever.

Once was cleaning up my desk and found a business card for my old manager. I tapped it against the keyboard for some reason of my desktop computer. This was a paper business card, and I only worked for her for a bit, and she popped up as a suggested friend on Facebook that day. I had never looked her up and hadn't thought of her in years.

So what's all that about?

My ex CW has an autistic son, and she won't vaccinate him, and she claims it's because his father won't allow it but his father has almost zero to do with the child, and does nothing for his medical needs. The child is very sickly looking to my eye, and always getting ill. I honestly don't get any of it.

They usually are, but today I found one who is a doctor.

This guy has been sending the IRS magic coupons and whatall for three years as "payment".

These are the people who hung effigies of Obama being lynched in their trees.

Is there a brand new sentence community here?

I have a list of white supremacist cops in California I'm working on. There's a LOT.

 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.
