or maybe, just maybe, the planned obsolescence of our electronic goods is afforded some blame. we would need far less of these materials if the components were built to last. we would need less mines if we did this.

personally, i make my devices last about a decade at least. and they work fine, while everyone i know need a new phone or computer every other year.

it sounds like the opposite of what youre told to do, but just never do any updates. i really feel like the updates, while you are told it is just endless security fixes, are really just there to bog down your device to require you get a new one.

I did the med card thing until it went rec. There was no difference in cost or experience that I noticed. Except now I do have one place I found which doesn't have overly dry product. So if anything, I've found a better experience. Maybe I missed something though. What about the medical is better than the rec?

I miss the disps in Los Angeles. There they bring out a ton of jars and let you pick em up and smell and squish w tweezers and such, to find what you like. Always easy to get what you really want. The prepackaged stuff is lame imo. I'd love to find a place that just has it in jars, let's you see it, and weighs it out to order . Alas

if you use an ad blocker and you never see them. i use the ublock origin and it even blocks the youtube and hulu ads and everything as far as i can tell.

the only political ads ive seen this year, and probably for maybe a decade now, have been when im at a bar and they have a tv. but those are on mute and im hanging out with people, so easily ignorable then too.
