Thankfully for things other than books (and maybe also for books), a lot of companies offer two day shipping now. Sometimes there's an order minimum for that but I find that most of the time my purchase exceeds the order minimum anyway.

This is the weirdest fucking thing I've seen on the Internet in a long time.

God damn. My girl passed away a couple years ago. I honestly don't know if I could afford to continue to feed her if she was still alive - this was the exact dog food she got.

So, Beehaw meetup at the Grand Canyon at noon on September 1st, 2037 is what I’m hearing.

I sympathize. This kept me on Facebook far longer than I wanted to be. If I wanted concert dates, event invites from friends, etc, I had to use it. I cut that cord eventually, but I get invited to way less stuff than I used to.

The Reddit deprogramming goes deep, for sure. I still find myself deleting comments here after typing them out because there is a 50/50 chance of getting abuse or arguments from someone for basically anything you post on that site.

Honestly, people committed to plans in a way they don’t now. I rarely had last minute cancellations when I was younger. Time might have been cut short or something, but people showed up. Changes of plans happened well in advance. Occasionally, I got stood up, but it was rare.

Now, I’d say probably 20-30% of the time, plans get changed last minute or more rarely, somebody bails.

Otherwise, yeah, having a mobile computer/phone in my pocket is indispensable and I’d never fully give it up.
