Fair enough and I’m sorry if I sounded judgy. I I know it doesn’t apply to everyone, but I think a major reason for Amazon’s success is that they’ve made acquiring things too convenient. A lot of people (I know I did) fall into the trap of over-consumption. I’ve come to conclude that spending my money ought to come with a little friction.

That’s so weird. I haven’t gotten any of these vague confirmation emails. Oh, that’s right. I remember why. Because I don’t buy a thing from that fucking oligarch’s website.

I’d be more inclined to say it’s the place you spent your formative years, if that’s not the same place. I was born in Virginia, but moved to Ohio before I turned 2 and grew up there. I always say I’m from Ohio. I have no memories of Virginia.
