I used to think differently and enjoy social media, but its steady creep and increasingly toxic nature changed my mind. I was on the internet back when it was the arpanet. I loved it. When the internet started to take off, I imagined a bright, bright future. I was wrong.

I don't do Facebook anymore, and won't do instragram. I miss out on some stuff, but I think it worth it to not have my life online sold to whoever will pay Meta for the data.

Brave is a browser that focuses on privacy. Duckduckgo is the same. I prefer brave, but either is far better than the others that help marketing companies track your use across the internet (If you care about being spied on. With this government, it just seems prudent to me.)

I don't object to most drugs in theory, but I wouldn't buy any anymore. I do pot only from licensed dispensaries. There are too many that have been adulterated with Fentanyl with potentially fatal consequences.

Use the brave browser. Use a VPN. Don't accept cookies. Use Ad Blocker Advanced: Get a subscription to Incogni which removes you from internet marketing data bases. I do not wish to be spied on either, and these things, while not perfect, do a very good job of fighting back.

10 inches?!?! I'm not cutting off that much for anybody.

Well, I believe him, because it would be just like him to be desperate for money, never pay his rent, and still be too fucking proud and macho to take a free $100K. It apparently persuaded gofundme, because the request is locked while they investigate. I don't really care, though. He isn't worth wasting much thought on.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/mickey-rourke-launches-gofundme-avoid-144740082.html Rourke says he has no involvement in this whatsoever and condemns it though it was apparently set up by this agent's assistant, supposedly without his knowledge. His financial troubles are apparently real though, and clearly of his own making.

On another note, TomCal hasn't posted in a long time. Does anybody know what happened to him? Always enjoyed his brazil reports.

He needs to sober up and straighten his mind out. Some serious jail time seems a good place for that to happen.

They may be hardworking, but they aren't at all decent.

I didn't die. That's enough of a win for this year.

Never. I am not sure if it is I who has changed or Christmas, but the orgy of consumerism masked as peace on earth doesn't appeal. We don't celebrate. Hearing our house cleaner, a friend, talk about what she buys and the economic woes it brings just makes me shake my head. I am sure her experience is common. We are fortunately well off enough that if we need it, or truly want it, we buy it. As I've gotten older, I find there are fewer and fewer things that I want.

I'm baffled. we keep our extras in a storage place outside of the kitchen. You'd have to walk there, grab a bottle of something and come back to the kitchen. It never happens. That said, some friends had to leave town suddenly for a funeral, and their kitchen was a mess, and their fridge had spoiled food so we cleaned it all up for them. They didn't need to come home to that. I was shocked at how many double bottles of stuff there were in their fridge. Who does that? Why? Don't you have a place where you put these things so when you look for the open one you find it? It probably helps that I have some ADHD, so if I'm not anal about where I put things, I lose track of them quickly. A lesson I reteach myself regularly.

I'm not sure why anybody bothers to engage with Moses. He's a Russian Bot, not a thinking human being. I think he'd only be useful if I had a garden. Push his Russia button, and a lot of shit comes out. He's been on my ignore list for quite a while now because reading his posts makes me dumber. I'd encourage others to do the same.
