And continue to get them as advised. I have had four and was told to return in three years. My wife and one of my sisters died of colon cancer. One of my sons just had his first colonoscopy at 32.

I have been telling door knocking, clip board holding sales people that "we rent" for forty years. Also hold my phone up to my ear pretending to be on a call just in case they persist.

Three competing gas station/ convenience stores were built in my area the past few years. All have at least 20 fuel pumps and sell hot carry out food. All have public restrooms that I assume met building codes, but one has a cramped men's room with one stall and one urinal. The other two have much larger restrooms with diaper changing stations. The other two also offer free tire inflation pumps available without purchase.

I'll go out of my way to support companies that do the right thing.

I have 30 lbs of gold plated PCB fingers that I have saved over the years. It might be time to figure out how to recycle and sell.

I get one or two SMS texts each month from unknown numbers with messages like "have time this week" or "I'm curious - how did we connect?". I have a collection of pics they send and use the pics to respond to others. It's probably smarter to ignore them, but it's hard to resist wasting their time.

We have seven printers. I use an HP LaserJet 6P which I bought 20+ years ago. My son uses an Epson setup to print films for screen printing tee shirts. All the others were free on Craiglist over the years. I also have two FedX Kinkos nearby for color printing.

Not trying to be clever, just a bit frustrated. How Everything Became Gambling is the main title. The cities that these firms were founded in has little to do with the point I think that the author is making regarding gambling. The impact on young men and women is my concern as a father and uncle, and I was hoping for a discussion about gambling.

Again, why is it flagged?

Why is this flagged? How Everything Became Gambling is the main title and very relatable to me. I find it difficult to believe that the increased focus on gambling won't corrupt sports like NFL football.

I find myself longing for the good old days where commercials during NFL games at least taught my sons the danger of erections lasting more than 4 hours.

Not even close. Read the article.

"risks and reputational damage"

Good one, I can't stop laughing. Thanks!

I wear shorts and a t-shirt about 360 days a year. Long sleeves and pants are reserved for weddings, funerals and avoiding poison ivy and insect bites.

I posted this a month ago: "At my location I can get an iced tea with free refills. Then I fill out the survey listed on the paper receipt and use that to get a buy one sandwich get one free deal."

The BOGO requires a manager thumb print, so order at the counter. Always say nice things in survey. I'm told managers read them to the staff.

I remember a pot luck dinner where I was the only guest that brought food. The invitation was clear, just ignored.

Another factor is alcohol consumption and the tolerance for drinking and driving. DUI citations were rare when I was young. I rarely see people drinking at parties I go to now.

"He hasn’t been cutting edge for 30 years, but Google has made AI so accessible through his existing search habit."

Maybe his smile is because he remembers how crappy search was 30 years ago.

Dogpile is still around. https://www.dogpile.com/

I just repeated all your searches using https://www.google.com/search?q=%s and the AI Overview gave good results with links to source material. I'm not signed into Google.

I picked up a broken TV on Craigslist free curb alert and spent a few hours trouble shooting with Google. This included taping contacts on a 90 pin cable. I was getting close when the screen fell over and broke. I told Google it was game over and it replied "take a breath. You have done a great job. Here is list of parts to harvest."

When I dropped my landline after more than 40 years, I transferred the number to a flip phone. This number is also used my family members as a backup phone number for 2FA and voice. Everyone has access to voice mail and can leave messages for others if a phone is lost, broken or stolen.

I bought a Scott tube amplifier at a yard sale for $2 and sold it on Craigslist the same day for $40. At least I found someone who wanted to restore it or harvest parts instead of trashing it.

I'm also in the Maryland suburbs and I'm trying to dispose of several generations worth of stuff while avoiding having to use a storage unit. Thankfully, we have a lot of deserving organizations that take charitable donations. However, my old tech collection just seems to grow and fill any space I gain from getting rid of what I consider junk.

Growing up, my Dad would buy cars from bulletin board ads where he worked at NASA. I was third of six kids and we had a fleet of as many as six cars at a time at our house. Oil changes were unnecessary, but adding oil every tank of gas was common.

I'm driving a 2005 Toyota Matrix with 230K miles that I bought new in 2004. It's just recently needed oil added before an oil change is due.

At some point it feels like blaming someone else for my cocaine problem. If Amazon sucks, stop using it.

It would be nice to drive thru my neighborhood without have to sit behind an Amazon delivery vehicle parked in the middle of the road.

Is that why it's flagged?

I still use two Kyocera Cadence LTE flip phones, but I bought a few smartphones for my children over the years. Also have an iPad that was a gift and I have used it to deposit bank checks.

Instead of constantly checking my phone, I just watch people constantly checking their phones.

"Very few probably care what their local government is babbling about today in general, and even fewer what platforms they're using."

Since schools in my area started yesterday, I'll add that parents do rely on communications regarding weather, early dismissals, transportation, day care, after school activities, etc.

This is the key in my opinion, and the most difficult to discuss with others without them getting defensive. You have to look at every dollar you spend. For me, debt and inflation have the potential turn my dreams to nightmares.

I “retired” at 55 when I was laid off. The biggest reason I didn't find another job is that my spouse was working at a job that she loved. For the previous decades my career and our two children were our priority by necessity, but now she was able to concentrate on herself. I'm 70 now and my wife worked until the day she died last year.

At my location I can get an iced tea with free refills. Then I fill out the survey listed on the paper receipt and use that to get a buy one sandwich get one free deal.

Consumer behavior is absolutely the problem, but it's not just greed, it's also factors like blind brand or retailer loyalty. I have friends that own pick up trucks, tools, sporting goods and clothing that express a personal brand but barely get used.

I just remembered I have a few cans of covid-era Spam (maybe older?) in my pantry. Time for breakfast.

If I go to https://www.reddit.com/ using chrome then replace www with old it works.
