  • Dollar Tree is also great for getting things that are absurdly marked up in price everywhere else. Like Scissors, office supplies, some toiletries and even great for getting things you do intend to dispose of because you don’t want to ruin the better quality version of that item.

    Getting food from Dollar Tree is more misses than hits. Yeah you’ll see frozen vegetables but almost no frozen fruits. Tons and tons of freaking junk food like chips, energy drinks, soda, candy and other junk. But I still don’t knock them because some of the food available at all, are good to make dinner meals out of to stretch rations with.







  • Any service that says I must have a 12 or 14 string password, combined with symbols, numbers and letters.

    Do you know why, I have to keep resetting my password, services that have this dumb requirement? Because your fucking requirements are absurd and unnecessary. I don’t have the mental capacity to care to remember that long of a password. I have to have a document now of all of the passwords I have so it’s not forgotten. I have to have browsers autofill for me because of this shit.

    In a perfect world, 6 - 8 string passwords would suffice and lots of emphasis on symbols and numbers at the very least. The longer you try making the characters of a password, the chances of forgetting increases.

    Flickr does this. Some of the portals to my apartment portal does this. Portals to some of my medical information does this. It’s fucking bullshit. StateFarm does this too.



  • I’m largely disappointed in them. The one time they were needed the most, they didn’t care to show up. Like, you do not have to be knee deep in politics to understand what’s at stake and who’s running. Take a good solid 30 minutes out of your life, to research and study the candidates, the issues and think of the future of the country’s direction if either candidate and their party got voted in.

    If they’d do just that, they’d probably have a better understanding. But they didn’t do that. They thought the 2024 election was in the bag and feel they didn’t need to do their part. Well, the results speak for themselves.

    And nothing much more needs to be said or done, they’ve sentenced themselves to the mess that’s to happen a week and a half from now. Just as much as all of the brainwashed and braindead conservatives who actively voted for fascism.


  • I would rather keep up on the news that I think matters to me than the news in general. People seem to just love reporting the exact same things. I used to have frequented r/news to note this.

    Lots of news about dead people, dead children .etc that sparks a lot of age-old debates.

    Occasionally some celebrity dies, some small, some big.

    Political follow-ups that ultimately just lead to arguments.

    I tend to also like getting news a little after the fact. It helps the digesting and processing in a sense.
