  • These posts always make me question myself because I’ve basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.

    I’ve had jobs where you can’t be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I’ve lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).

    I’m guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I’m sure there will be some people telling themselves I’m just smelly and don’t know it.

    I was at BJ’s wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it’s just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.

    I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren’t a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I’m not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.

    I hate the checks, but it isn’t worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I’m not getting anything from it and making someone else’s job harder.

    Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.

    I don’t raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.


  • I remember being in 4th grade and my teacher taught us about the formation of Israel. That night I mentioned to my dad about how Israel was made by taking the land of other nations. My dad was like, “How do you think America was made? It was made by stealing other people’s land”.

    To this day I have no idea if my dad was being based or justifying the existence of Israel. Probably the latter, knowing my father, but I’m choosing to believe it was the former.







  • I’m using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.

    Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).

    It’s a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.
