someone earlier was asking about "too many books?" and, well
@SheButch is trying to put their collection in order and here are the duplicates we've discovered ... so far
(for a hitherto-unsorted collection of "about three Billy", that's arguably not terrible)
PSA: one way that sometimes leads to finding GOOD deals in online marketplaces: search for typos, common misnomers or wrong spellings.
I have no idea how many cymbals I saw being referred to as "symbol".. so hunt for a keyword and the wrong word, like: "Meinl symbol", "Zildjian symbol", "china symbol"
I *just now* found a used PreSonus Eris 3.5 being sold at almost half the price of other ads which wasn't showing up on the search... the person who created made a typo and wrote "PerSonus".
Society wants me to consume all the products and services, it tells me all the time with its incessant advertising everywhere I go
Read a website, there's an ad
Use an app, there's an ad
Call a phone number, there's an ad
Listen to music, there's an ad
Eat some food, there's more ads
Drive a car, ads everywhere
Have an object, branding on it to remind you of who you're consuming
Work a job, ads all day and maybe you're required to send some
Money in the bank? Ads for more services
People putting on clothing that advertises
People bragging about their preferred advertisers
People taking on brands as part of their identity
Eat, sleep, dream, ad
Bury me with my beloved consumption choices
Fill my blood stream from the plastics mass manufactured everywhere for unnecessary products
The planet is plastic
The economy is god
Animalkind is a product to be exploited
The galaxy is future parking lots
I must make and expend money
I am consumer
Consume
Consume
Consume
Consume
Consume

Don't buy from Temu. This youtube video is good. Ironically Google decided to put a Temu advert in front of it!
Buying some of the kids' Xmas gifts 2nd hand and it feels good. We talk a lot about the positive impact of buying 2nd hand in good condition, so I know they are perfectly happy with it. Added bonus: got brand new box set of Harry Potter books without lining the pockets of everyone's least favourite terf! #winning
Miss 8 wants the big Sylvanian house. I refuse to add another chunk of plastic to the world so 2nd hand means we give an existing piece of plastic another life.
