- Comment on The enshitification of Meetup.com 2 weeks ago:
If there are over a certain number of participants it tells me I have to pay to see the rest.
TBH it’s been going downhill for the last couple years since they made groups pay a yearly (I think) fee. There used to be all kinds of fun free groups but it’s slowly becoming only sponsored groups or pay to attend meetups.

They already made it so you have to pay for meetup+ to see meeting attendees or message anyone but the organizer.

- Comment on I just got this latest text from the scammers that have been sending relentless texts to me in the past few weeks. 1 month ago:
To weed out people who scrutinize the scam. The same reason scams often have misspelled words. They want people who will react quickly without thinking too hard.
- Comment on Being an already decided voter in a swing state is swell 1 month ago:
I’m not in a swing state but I still get a decent amount of political spam. It’s mostly random PACs sending clickbait texts asking me to donate. Every so often I get a text from a candidate running in a completely different state and wonder where they got their lists.

to: Dr. Jækel Hydensen and Family would be better in English.
We sometimes send things to “The Hydensen Family” but that does seem to assume that the heads of the family have the same last name.

My cousin couldn’t understand how I bought groceries after I sold my car. After telling him I walked three blocks to the store he asked how I bought groceries in winter. I told him I put on a coat and boots and walk three blocks to the store.

No modern grains: find the original wild versions of wheat, corn, and rice and only process and eat those.

I was put on the 24th floor of an office building with a desk facing the window while the company I worked for renovated our 10th floor office. It was really cool, there was a small hawk that liked to hang out on the window ledge and I had a nice view. When the renovation was done I was moved back to a cubicle with only florescence lights.

As an amateur photographer, I’m still hoping for a Flickr resurgence. Instagram is so restrictive.

I love cilantro, but I got the celery tastes bitter and spicy gene. So many people tell me it’s tasteless but it has a strong, terrible taste to me.

They had one of them in my neighborhood and it only stocked the most popular books (on amazon) which you already get delivered to you in an hour or two. It seemed pretty pointless.

What? Before the iPhone Palm and RIM were improving their smartphones constantly, new feature phones were coming out all the time with apps to access social media, the internet and play games. I think a lot of people actually were often wanting a better phone
