Steal the carts and sell them back to the store for a finders fee.

jam it onto or tie it to the tow hook.

Disc rot is also a thing.

I find it's best to accept entropy, that you're going to die, that everything ends, that you will lose data, that there will be a last time you watch a movie or show, and keep running those ssd/hdds even when they're in the yellow/red warning zone.

Years back I was sorting through ten years of emails. I got so sick of it, I simply deleted everything. You know what? No drawbacks even ten years later. Such a huge relief.

Reminds me of the artist Michael Landy who chucked everything he owned - pictures, clothes, artwork, his passport - into a shredder. Performance art, reaction against consumerism. He was understandably miserable doing it, but what a relief that must have been. To be free of all the crap. It is true that the things you own often end up owning you.

My grandparents hoarded all their lives, and after they died much of what they owned ended up in a skip, because there wasn't enough time or interest to sell it. The supposedly priceless porcelain? Chucked. All the records? Sold. Furniture? Goodwill. The huge supply of sunlight soap? Really useful actually.

Curate, is my advice.

I occasionally go through and cull the worst shows and movies. No point keeping mainstream crap that's readily available on all the streaming sites.

No, as mentioned in my comment, this was before fox news became a big thing.

Yes. I am old.

I remember reading a study which came to the conclusion that people who regularly watch or follow the news have a less accurate picture of what's happening in the world. Worse even than people who don't follow the news at all. You're much better off reading long form journalism or books. This was before fox news became a big thing and when the internet was still in its infancy.

Not surprising, a lot of news is man bites dog, extra-ordinary stuff, ie. how the world usually doesn't work. That and all the agenda setting, framing, propaganda, etc. Doubt social media and short form videos have helped much either.

For example, IRC people who watch/read a lot of news, were more likely to overestimate crime statistics and think the world was much worse than it actually is.

How often do you see your mother?

Poorly designed button. Wrong colour and too much information. Green and "Download Here" would have been better.

Cars too. Bright pink cars are usually quite cheap.

Obviously, that is a choice. LOL.

Although, I am a 6ft6/2m tall bodybuilder and look like a Russian gangster. There is a part of me that wants to buy a tiny candy pink Japanese kei car. Just because it'd be continually funny seeing people react to me get out of it, them wanting to laugh, but not daring to because I look like I could kick the shit out of them. (I wouldn't. I'm a softie.)

Sure, but that doesn't mean I don't want GTA6 to be fun if I can pirate it.

I wonder if GTA 6 will be any good.

Previous entries still had an edge, but I worry that GTA online has ruined them. I assume most of the people who created the previous games are all gone too.
