At my local Walmart I regularly see people with their cart full of groceries going through the self checkout lanes. It’s immensely annoying when you only have 1 or 2 items. And it’s not like they don’t have cashiers either. There are even multiple self checkout lanes with belts and yet for some reason these people always go through the smaller self checkout lanes.

Yes! I signed up for my local library! Their ebook system is well… Subpar… So I also signed up for my parents local library in another state and can now use libby! It’s amazing!

I get a bushel for 88¢ where I live.

I buy via https://stnrcreations.com/ Get them delivered straight to my house. Delta 8 is federally legal, so that’s what you can purchase from the regardless of state. Where I live, all the smoke/vape shops also sell a bunch of delta 8 products. But I’ve preferred the stnr brand over most things I’ve tried.

I just buy mine online. No driving needed.

When I looked at it, it said 7 months ago. So someone braved it relatively recently.

Omg it has images from 6 years ago and 7 months ago. The difference is absolutely mind blowing. But also in general, to see how it looks now its just so depressing. I’ve been reading a book right now that’s based in the 1930s and this looks and feels like the Hoovertowns they describe.

It’s like a literal Hoovertown.

And they’ve already transitioned to using the Steamboat Willie model for the opening of their new movies as part of their trademark. As soon as I saw that happening I knew it wouldn’t matter that the copyrights to it would finally go away because Disney found a new way around it with the trademarking.

You forgot about that beautiful thing also known as your local library!

Mine is around 2 miles away from my home and only charges me 10¢ per b&w sheet. Its absolutely perfect for any printing needs I may have.

On and off rain here in my part of the south and constantly cloudy skies. Won’t be able to see a thing either. :/

As much as I would absolutely love us shifting from fossil fuels, it also needs to be practical. Suddenly increasing the price of gas doesn’t work for rural areas like the one I live in where your car is immensely important to you being able to get to the store or your job and we’re not in areas that public transport would be considered due to how small and spread out the towns are. And a lot of us don’t have the option to move closer to the cities and the transit opportunities either due to our jobs or just the cost of living required for the city versus our rural homes. We NEED to start working on infrastructure that doesn’t only have large cities in mind, but also us on the outskirts of the city or the rural communities will become even poorer than they are now when they have to pay a small fortune just to travel to the store or their jobs.

Another downside with smaller companies is there not always room for you to grow or move up.

When I made the switch I was shocked at well it blocks ads. It still surprises me to this day. Yeah, it takes a little longer to load, but I couldn’t care less.

This is what I do. On the rare occasions I need to print something, I just pop down the street to the library and do it there.

Or remember when it “felt like” - 50° F for two days straight that one February?

Once people on reddit start noticing the decrease in content or the increase in reposting bots, there’ll be more movement towards here. We’re still in our infancy and working through massive growing pains just dealing with the current influx of people. We just have to give it time and also make sure that we’re participating in communities.

Makes me so uncomfortable too! Just looking at it skeeves me out.

Omfg you’re here! I’m so fucking excited now! I would always read through your such well written and referenced comments!!! This is such an exciting moment!

After the few initial minutes of using both Liftoff and connect, I prefer the design of liftoff so much more. Though I seem to be having some issues adding in comments or upvoting/downvoting things via liftoff, but having no issues with Connect. So I’m not sure what’s going on. Any help would be appreciated.
