In my state

Is it the state of Chaos?

Yeah, I definitely remember when they started showing things I didn't ask for, and I thought "I don't like that", but I stuck around because I could ignore posts I didn't care about.

It took a little while, but I eventually started to play "how far can I scroll before I get something I didn't ask for?"

Shortly after that, I realized I actually had to start playing "how far until I get something I did ask for?".

Once I realized that, I cut back significantly. I still go from time to time when I'm stuck waiting in line or something, but it broke my daily habit. I miss what it used to be, but I certainly don't miss what it is.

How do you define "compete"?

Here they are on opposite corners of the same intersection.

Sure, that's only one example, but I'm not sure how well I can Google "Kroger near an [Albertsons|Randalls|Safeway]" to find a list.

The transition from analog to digital really hurt my desire to watch OTA TV (you caught me! I'm not under 25).

With analog broadcast, any weak signal or interference produced a little bit of static, but you could still see and hear what was being said. With digital, any weak signal means dropped frames and silence or weird glitches. You completely lose what's happening. Even with a powered antenna, I have frequent issues with weak signal. I could probably try to get a rooftop antenna installed, but there's no guarantee it would be any better. It's just easier to find other entertainment at this point.

Keep in mind that many red states have attempted to essentially ban online porn with their overbearing age-verification laws. A savvy internet user would be less likely to pick an exit node in a red state, given the choice.

Congrats! What was uncomfortable about previous shoes, and what did you finally settle on?

I often lean forward while running. It's a bad habit that I never really had a reason to break. Then I tried running on an unpowered treadmill that has a curve to the platform (something like this). If I lean forward while running on it, it just keeps going faster, and I have a bad time.

I noticed that as soon as I corrected my form, the treadmill became a much more pleasant experience. If you run on one of those enough, I'm sure you'll make a habit of running with better form.
