What's everyone's preferred brand for large HDD external drives? Especially ones that don't use bloatware to use.
Looking to be more serious about backing up my old work, so I'm not always relying on cloud services.

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

Buying a car really is the most miserable shopping experience. Can we ban car dealerships already.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I wanted to like A House of Dynamite, but I've never been so frustrated with a movie's editing. Just bizarrely paced, and the ending is the worst I've seen in a long time. A lot of really phenomenal actors in minor and do-nothing roles too. It's just an odd movie.

That struggle of wanting to keep up with the news to be informed and educated on what's happening around us
