#lrt my shouldn't-be-a-hot take is that self-checkout is a bane on community-building. as a former checker, i promise you cannot check yourself out faster. a little harmless small talk with your neighbors as they ring up your groceries or whatever is good for you, like taking ur vitamins

Yep. Well, sex and newsletters that are nominally about baseball but which really just serve as a place to vent one's middle aged grievances anyway. There's at least a little money in that. bsky.app/profile/sixe...
