At the time, the "Supermarket Scanner" story painted a picture that, while blown out of proportion, is a truth about the way some people interact with the world when they have money and power. They don't see the same things that I do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket_scanner_moment

Sometimes "getting your foot in the door" takes more than a foot.

This was the example that popped into my head when I saw the question prompt. Listening to this now still hits me as strongly as when it came out, and the rest of the albums just don’t feel as strong to me.

I hadn’t, but I was nervous given how many of the reboots and extension series attempts seemed to miss the mark. Maybe I should give it a try, anyway.

Gah! Now I need to go watch Dark Crystal again. That's such a good movie, and I recently watched Labyrinth. I'll cue it up, and then stick Brazil right behind.

It still is hard to save up $5000.

I've been really happy with my Bosch 4100, but it did take me a while to properly align the arbor with the miter slots. I've been using it on-and-off for about 7-ish years, and I'm only recently considering to upgrade to a Sawstop.

Oddly enough, it’s the chicken planks I miss from Long John Silver’s. Most places serve the same crappy chicken tenders, but they had the same batter as the fish, and it was fantastic.

Oddly enough, I had to post a picture to get something to actually show up. I’ve deleted the picture, but I’m curious about the strange errors.

I kinda wish I had cause to shop there so I could very vocally share how this is losing them customers, but I haven’t needed to set foot in one of their stores for years now.

Thank you all for your responses! Seems like I'm just having some bias based on changes in my Fediverse viewing habits!
