  • Yeah, I have an extremely unusual name. From what I can tell there are at most three other people in the world with the same name as me, and none of them lives here in the US.

    Leaving aside the fun of being hassled for having a weird name when I was a kid, as an adult I am very careful about what I put online, since there is no way to hide it. If it’s in English and connected with my name, it unquestionably concerns me.


  • Yeah, I try to buy stuff from brick and mortar stores. I figure that even if it’s a big box store at least there are actual employees working there who live in my area.

    But I can’t even find the kind of underwear I like at any physical store near me. Even online, Amazon seems to be the only place that stocks it.

    The same goes for the style of jacket that I prefer. I’ve spent months looking everywhere, and the only place where I’ve found even an approximation of what I want is Amazon.

    I’ve noticed that even in big box stores nowadays the selection is pretty limited. You’ll see a wall of racks full of the same item. I don’t know if it’s supply chain issues or if they’ve just decided that it’s not worth the trouble of trying to stock a variety of items that only appeal to a relatively small number of people.







  • I’ve noticed it in myself lately. I’ll compose a reply to an email and halfway through realize that the information I’m asking for is right there in the original email, or I’ll start writing a reply to an online comment and realize that I have gotten the writer’s point completely backwards. At least I catch myself, but it’s really weird.

    I think part of it is that I’ve come to the conclusion that most people are so stupid and lazy that my default is to assume that they don’t know what they’re talking about, or won’t give me the information I need without special prompting on my part.

    Sorry, I can’t seem to get the formatting right.
