Is that Colin Robinson?

The Dumb Zone. I promise. I pay for an annual sub. Good fun with some sports mixed in.

Shared experiences help with longer term relationships. I regret I’m not focusing on the finding part but more of identifying how to hold onto it. I think the shared experiences matter more than how you find the people.

I’ve done this specifically by playing a video game, joining a clan, and joining the discord. I focused on who I clicked with most and spent time with them. I also think making some effort to meet IRL helps after a while. Having a game or a hobby in common isn’t really enough because it can be very thin. If you don’t care about any IRL things then force other shared experiences that are tangential to what brought you together. That helps me too.

Climb down off of your soapbox. Amazon is what it is because of early strategic decision making and long term shittiness. I’m talking about aggregation and exposure to semi-local partners.

I’m trying to use Ebay more often but the source is hard to verify.

I just wish there was an aggregator that isn’t Walmart or Amazon or Temu. I try really hard to spread my shopping around and actually buy local when I can. It just sucks Amazon is so easy.

I take full responsibility for myself. I try to shop independently when possible.

When she won the Speaker vote she immediately came out and said she would focus on bringing the Demo party back together. Not ensuring the country gets the best product… But ensuring they were as tight as possible. That told me what she really cares about. Don’t even look at her stock purchase history… Shit.

Take what you can get. Bitching about how you got there isn’t helpful.

An upvote is not enough. I must provide an unnecessary comment to support this as the best comment. You’re doing Xenu’s work.

I got you boo!

My only comment here is that I run a small business and decisions can occur that I don’t always see up front and with which they negatively impact employees or customers. I also know many large clients where the leadership delegates decisions down to sometimes stupid or misguided staff. The balance here comes to how a leader reacts when they learn of the hurtful actions and is there an opportunity for change.

Photosphere. Fuck you Google.

Pixel 8. Solid. No issues. Fuck AI.

I am jealous of the small iPhone or pixel 6 owners. I like small phones. Having a Google Pixel has been very good for me and the family. IOS is just too lazy to me.

I used to root phones all of the time. It got cumbersome and I caved. With a pixel I get regular updates and features. It’s not the best but it’s predictable.

Yes. There are no whales in Texas.

Holy shit people. It’s a fucking joke. Look at the photo… It’s a Google ad algorithm.

You’re awesome. Thank you for taking the time to explain.

TY. It seems intuitive to me for chickens but I’d be scared shitless to grab an owl by the feet waiting for that death maw to latch down on my arm.

Do they not go after your fingers? I know chickens chill out after you grab them.
