101·7 days agoI 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.
12·7 days agoBought 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?
Is there a brand new sentence community here?
Every six months or so I have to look up whether Bob Dylan is still alive. And then I forget again.
I work in health care and I love young doctors. I truly do. But when they want to talk to me about weight loss and getting a colonoscopy, I do not love them.
Gosh you mean someone executed a perfectly aimed shot into his carotid and picked him off like a clay pigeon in a shooting gallery, escaped a security patrolled event without being identified, and you think that might not be just some rando? Wow FBI that’s some stellar detective work!
Charlie has reached a turning point.
I was in the grocery store tonight, and I live in Canada, and some woman was on her phone on speaker next to me, and the woman on the other end was raving about “how they say they’re antifascist but they’re not”. I had not heard the news but was wondering what she was on about, and I guess it’s already antifa’s fault. Imagine that.
7·29 days agoNo, in Bobbi Brown’s book she talks about having sex with him before he got really famous, and while he was not very good at it, she said it was colossal, and she was engaged to Tommy Lee.
What’s a heat tooth?
Yeah it’s dumb. She doesn’t bother me, she’s successful, good for her, and she hasn’t seemed to abuse anyone. Also she’s had some terrifying stalkers. Nobody deserves that.
I didn’t post this because I hate her, she doesn’t bother me. I like TPB is all.
It’s water under the fridge.
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.
