    People are shity sometimes. I’m one that goes to an address if that’s the expectation. But there are items I almost never sell in person from my home, electronics being one.

    My mother had a garage sale (total American thing I’m sure) and was robbed a few weeks later by someone taking an unusual amount of time “shopping“ with her phone out. The gal was a fool, had recordings on her phone of her and the places she was going to rob with address. After a month or so of this, she was caught and her phone searched where they found 20+ videos of other houses where they looked at stuff that would make for easy theft from the garage.

    Lessons here are you need to decide who do you let in your home and I know it’s a lot to do with culture. Europe has some social support in place, the USA just says good luck and fuck off.










  • I’ve walked out of interviews that had these popular puzzle questions in the 00s. The company you’re interviewing for is not testing you for your job, it wants a corporate drone that is ok with bureaucracy and can navigate the red tape they’ve put in place.

    Really a waste of time, but if I run into this at my age now I ask if they can tell me how their company is making something for the betterment of human kind.







  • Capitalism… At some point people need to realize they are working to make others richer. From the products you buy to the products your company makes, just stuff designed to break and not worth spending on. Even new houses today have a shortened life. Anyone buy one recently and see the contract term estimated life of the house is about 60years?!? Yep folks, the house you’re dropping 500k+ on it expected to last about 60 years.

    This might be a left vs right comic, but the issue doesn’t matter in the end because capitalism is going to fuck us all over.
