I have been craving a ginger vodka martini for weeks. I rarely drink, but I had one of those in a bar in upper Manhattan 15 years ago and can still taste it.
It is so fucking insidious how Facebook in particular has tricked business owners into thinking a Facebook page or Instagram is a proper substitution for an actual website. There is a crochet designer I love, but she is ONLY on Meta products, which means I CANNOT SEE YOU BECAUSE I DO NOT GO THERE.
Fucking leaving money on the damned table because you refuse to make an actual site.
Bad business, that.
Edit: Oh, and all those product photos you post? Those don't belong to you anymore. They belong to Mark Zuckerberg.
2nd edit: My advice to my internet marketing clients hasn't changed in over 20 years. Build your site first. EVERYTHING ELSE EXISTS ONLY TO DRIVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE.
I think perhaps what these cops terrorizing these children at college forget is that THEY ARE ALREADY TRAUMATIZED by the INACTION of cops while they were being SHOT AT SCHOOL.
THESE KIDS WEREN'T TAUGHT TO RESPECT COPS AND THEY DON'T ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE.
I really, really need to learn proper Spanish and not the "Texican" or "Spanglish" I actually learned. Folks speak more or less proper Spanish in these parts. :)
Can't help but think something worse epidemic wise is coming down the pike. My reasoning: The H5N1 virus has jumped to cattle. Those who work with cattle have been coming down with a mild, but mysterious illness.
In the middle ages, milkmaids were often known for their beauty. Whether they were actually beautiful or not is irrelevant. What was meant was that their faces were unpocked and clear because they did not catch smallpox. What they usually caught was cowpox, which was a milder disease, but conferred protection from smallpox.
Well, I was hoping my silver hair would come in with a curlier texture than my red hair, but alas. Still stick straight. No bend whatsoever. Lol. Fine.
We probably all need to start going to city council and county commission meetings and start asking hard questions about the security of the utility infrastructure under their control.
Dollars to donuts NONE of them have even the foggiest idea what a Chinese or Russian hack would look like.
As a result, we will all be DIRECTLY impacted.
I think it's time for the computer nerds of the world to step the fuck up and help out in the real world.
Folks, I don't think we will EVER fully appreciate the economic impact covid has had not in long covid, not in mass death, but in a population that is mentally diminished.
I have spent no less than ONE HOUR attempting to get a WIRE TRANSFER set up.
Folks, wire transfers have existed since the telegraph was invented. This is one of the SIMPLEST ways to move money from one place to another.
I am catching multitudes of mistakes.
This is INSANELY DISTURBING.
I am noticing this issue throughout this entire home buying process. People are making PROFOUND mistakes.
What this becomes is one other facet of the destruction of public health and safety.
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, sanitation, transportation, etc WILL BE AFFECTED.
Ex: Get an HVAC contractor in to repair a gas furnace, but a part is installed incorrectly, causing your entire family to die of carbon monoxide poisoning while they sleep.
