Dollar Tree.

It used to have been an unreal experience witnessing the existence of these stores when they came out. Everything for a $1. No joke. The quality of some things have had corners cut and the quantity might've been laughable, but there was a good solid purpose for these stores.

And then I started seeing the signs after a few good solid years of shopping there. The first sign was how they stopped selling eggs. This was before the Bird Flu. They stopped selling eggs because they simply couldn't afford to buy stock and then the price hike to $1.25 happened.

And now they've hiked the prices again to $1.50 for some products in a handful of stores. Additionally, they've incorporated items going from $2 ~ $15 so they have long lost the role and title of being the most affordable places to shop.

Gone were the days.

I have a 10-8-8-10 work week. 4 days on. 3 days off. I love it. And it's in a retail environment too which is like a holy grail sometimes.

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.

Sunday.

Everything closes early and some things are just outright unavailable for that one day. Need to get things done during the weekend? It better be all on Saturday because Sunday doesn't give a fuck about what you need to deal with.

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.

And I'm sure those landlords will be all "BUT WE HAVE EXPENSES TOO! WE'RE PEOPLE TOO!" excuse.

Who's expectations?

Not the people playing, that's for sure.

I'll go even lower and say Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and it's one of the more remarkable entries of the series.

It took $5 Million to develop.

And they're the kind of bully where the rest of the world just disappointingly sighs and has to deal with because they know Russia is absolutely no better and China is meh.

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.

When you're too focused on staring at people's assets in public or anywhere. As a struggling porn addict, I have a bad habit where I am gazing or catching glimpses of asses and chest areas of women around public and at work.

When you're doing that - then it's too much.

I almost don't want to. If you can't handle honesty, truths or straightforward and shoot-straight kind of opinions. Then engaging in communication is simply not for you and nobody should have to walk on eggshells all of the time to appease someone's incapable sense of getting the point.

 

In a statement written to be shared after he died, Rinder says his biggest regret is not "ending the abuses of Scientology."

 

I would, with mine.

My timeline is:

Born in '89 Toddler/Child in 90s Teenager in 00s' Young Adult in '10s Adult late '10s to present.

I'd want mine altered so that it'd be:

Born in '70 Toddler/Child in 70s Teenager in 80s Young Adult in 90s Adult in 00s'

And by now I'd probably be closing in on my 50s.
