I think I liked the Internet better before all the normies, "regular people", and kids got on it. Imagine having a favourite bar. You go there, find your niche group, socialize, and go home. The one day the kids, prudes come in and they want all the areas of the bar to be appropriate for them.

I made a new word document titled "USA Mythology." Reality and popular [mis]understandings of things in the USA has some massive divergences. I want to capture what some of them are. I have no plans to do anything with this word document.

I have a theory: this discourages you from using a throwaway email address that you never log in to when signing up, which makes it more likely that their shitty email marketing will be seen.

Her: What are you having for lunch?

Me: Yellow Tail Sushi rolls. The grocery store has them for only 5 USD on Wednesdays.

Her: It's Thursday.

Me: Yeah, I got them yesterday.

Let's see if the court gets engaged. Dad's finances looked messed up. In tracing his expenses I found the non-paying roommate is using 2/3 of the electricity. It is going to things like heating the neighborhood cats. I stepped in after he requested help with the bill.
