Can't find much info about this photo. Reddit says it's from the Soviet Union in the 80s. I'd like to meet this guy, and his camel.

I've switched to a dumb phone. I'm tired of carrying a little focus vampire in my pocket.

So far, I'm surprised at how often I want to ask the internet a question. Instead I write them in the notebook for later.

"No front porches. My uncle says there used to be front porches. And people sat there sometimes at night, talking when they wanted to talk, rocking, and not talking when they didn't want to talk. Sometimes they just sat there and thought about things, turned things over. My uncle says the architects got rid of the front porches because they didn't look well. But my uncle says that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn't want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong KIND of social life. People talked too much. And they had time to think. So they ran off with the porches."

I spent five years with Target and everything you're saying is spot on. They don't advertise it anymore, but Target's data collection is out of control. However, credit card companies are the real conduit.
