I went to the beach the other day by myself to decompress and I ended up randomly engaged in conversation with a lifeguard. We're both in our late 40s so we grew up before the Internet but then aged into it. Our political views were ve

The proliferation of AI content is making these platforms so disgusting to me that I'm actually quitting, and for real this time. I guess it works like putting bitterant in cans of compressed air to stop people from huffing them. It st

These days I just go to Sam's Club. Hear me out. It's right next to Costco, literally in the same mall. Products are kind of shittier but they're good enough. But good enough is better for me because the rest of the experienc
