Nothing new. My both deceased grandmother’s left behind houses, pole barns full of things. In the 80s, and the family resorted to renting a dumpster to get rid of much of it. It’s kind of sad, but everyone already had lots of junk of their own. I’m guilty of this as well, I’m starting to fill up a storage unit of my own. I however think twice now when I make a purchase.
It’s set at a 50 mile radius, I have no interest in dating people on the other side of the world, I’d prefer someone I can interact with in person without having to hop on an airplane.
Get hardly anyone to notice me on okcupid, so I cancel my subscription, and within a day or two I get 25 people interested in me, but I can’t see their profile unless I pay, so I resubscribe only to see they’re all in the Philippines and Africa. The whole service is a scam.

The combustion product isn’t likely to be a carcinogen. Safer to use indoors.
Many Boomers voted their progeny away when they put Reagan in office.
It’s not really necessary to be part of the Southern Baptist convention. In fact, it’s not really necessary to be part of any church at all. A person doesn’t have to go to church. There’s no requirement for it and they can live a perfectly moral and meaningful life without ever setting foot in a church.
Mormon temple in La Jolla looks like the space ship from “The Last Star Fighter”
JWs don’t go to college for that exact reason. It seriously is a way to keep people from leaving the faith. Frederick Douglass wrote about how slave owners went out of their way to keep slaves uneducated for a similar reason . He learned to read in secret and then was able to see many truths about the institution of slavery because of his education .
It won’t be needed because nobody will have a job to pay for it. I forsee kurt vonnegut’s book “Player Piano” on steroids.
Ah yes another commercial social media platform taking the first steps in the enshitification process. We’ve seen this all before in the early days of other platforms before the decay sets in.
I just hope something can be done with the empty structures. Turning them into housing is easier said than done for many buildings.
There’s only 24 hours in a day and I have plenty of things to do other than watch commercial-plagued programming on Amazon.
Work hard so you can make other people rich.
I play around with the paid version of chatgpt and I still don’t have any practical use for it. it’s just a toy at this point.
