People don't think about online shopping that way, though. I went into a local pet supply chain, Petsmart, to get parrot pellets. They were out, I asked a clerk, she told me I could save time by buying it online from their website, and have it delivered to my house. I told her no, doing that tells Petsmart they don't need a local store, they can close it, fire the people working there, just sell online. She looked surprised - she'd never thought of that before.
@StillIRise1963 Certainly one of them. Online shopping was another. Yeah, it was convenient. Convenient for monopolists. America's decline didn't start with Amazon, but sure has helped decimate cites and towns across America. We don't talk about either. Which is partly why I believe so many young progressives can only talk about human rights and power differentials. It's really all they hear about from thought leaders, today. The Fediverse "might" change that. Might.
The sad thing is, they could have put a space in there to make it clear, but they chose not to.
So I'm pretty sure it means they sharted, and they want everyone to know.
Listen,luvs . I'm going to "like" a toot I read.
The writer should know their toot was read. It's the least we can do for each other in my opinion.
How many times have you read toots about people that feel they are not being seen or "no one reads me so why bother?"
So yeah, I'm liking toots and if that makes me not cool or old ..well, okay..and by the way I still say pocketbook too.
Trump Indictment Malaysian perspective
Americans are understandably excited about the #TrumpIndictment
Just want to say that in #Malaysia, we have prime ministers who ARE in prison, WERE in prison or HEADING to prison.
You can say that we're highly experienced in the field of sending our leaders to jail.
Malaysia boleh! π
@ScottSoCal Gotcha. The Dispatcher books are still great stuff. I recommend giving them a read if you havenβt.
Not related in any way to your post, this handy little tool will let you deal with the valve inside your tire's valve stem, the little valve that keeps air in them. So small it fits in your pocket, and available at most auto parts supply stores for less than $5. If that valve gets loose, the air can leak out and leave you stranded. Useful tool to have around.

#ElectionDay Heading to the polls to get my 'I Voted' sticker. Well, in about 1-1/2 hours.
I like to stop in on my way to work.
A strong next generation is precisely what Republicans don't want to see in the young
They want murderously insane child soldiers like Kyle Rittenhouse, not inspirational & smart children like Amanda Gorman
They want a next generation as simply consumers, not citizens
They want underpaid serf labor hopelessly mired in apathy & despair
They want addicts, to violence, to rage
They want the next generation saddled with debt; student loans & mortgages
They want a Nazi do-over
