I’ve had a couple of friends ask me if I’m prepping.

Prepping for what?

I see the UK is doing a Be Prepared campaign and Fucking Dan Bongino said something on a podcast. What’s that about?

    In my family we have an ongoing argument regarding when instant gratification became the norm. I say it’s the ATM. My husband says it’s the car. Obviously things have increased pretty rapidly since either of those.

      My dad talks about the air conditioner. He says how people don’t go out on the porch now which leads to talking to neighbors because the temperature inside is nicer. That not talking to neighbors means doing it all on ones own which requires that instant gratification.

      I want to argue but this last summer was definitely a staying inside one.

        You have perfectly described Florida after a hurricane. All the neighbors chillin’ together, power comes back, BYE. Just did that two weeks ago.
