I've been mostly successful not buying anything from Amazon. I'm trying to add Target to that list. This resulted in me ordering a couple of holiday presents from Kohl's. A company which I don't think I've ever bought anything from before.

Criticizing the government is a favorite past time of most Americans. Yet will disqualify you from becoming a citizen.

Funny how a system which would need the rule makers to write a rule that they can't profit while serving as a rule maker, still lets rule makers profit. 🤔

In addition to subtooting another passive aggressive technique which is satisfying is to reply and then mute the account for a month
This ensures you'll most likely never see any response to your reply, but still follow the account.

This Is How You Lose The Time War
Short(ish) scifi story. Two combatents leaving each other messages, in very fun and novel ways.
One example being the ring pattern in a tree, which took decades to grow.

Quaker Oats steel cut changed their recipe. It's the strangest thing. 🤔
The new container says 1 1/2 cups of water, and 1/4 cup of oats
The container I just finished had 1 cup of water, and 1/3 cup of oats.

In most cases I'm behind but also don't think about work for the weekend.

Even when I understand why something starting working, it doesn't help.
Because I can't remember it. And I have to start over the next time I do it.
I'm really getting tired of my brain not being able to retain information.

I do like the "B1G" logo. The "G" looking so of like a zero. This is for the "Big 10", which has something to do with college football.
