Yeah I actually had to do a redelivery last week and it was easy peasy, I didn’t get the option this time (probably bc just before I responded to you my shirt was delivered lol)

Oh hilarious, my shirt just showed up, I guess they pressed the wrong button

I had a package out for delivery--it's a sweatshirt!--and for some reason now I have to pick it up at the post office? which is weirdly far away from my house? why.

Omg I’m in a big meeting, my webcam isn’t working, and we’re talking about an AI tool that will absolutely take over part of my job. At least no one can see my face????

Step One: Seal off the offices on the top floor.
Step Two: Begin targeted excursions to eliminate the walkers.
Step Three: Block the entrance with large trucks.
Step Four: Live out the rest of their days in a consumer utopia that can never be invaded or destroyed. Probably.

In 2005, when Walmart wanted to open a store in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, residents rallied to keep it out. But Walmart found its way back to Monroeville 20 years later. Instead of building a new store, though, the retailer bought an operating mall with 120 tenants for $34 million.

Why Did Walmart Just Buy a Shopping Mall?

Walmart hasn’t said much about its plans for Monroeville Mall in Pennsylvania. But its partner has told some store owners that the mall will be demolished for a mixed-use development.

I was on a local mastodon thing and I guess I could go back to that, but it was so much chattier over here!

Listen, I cannot move to yet another social media thing. If this one dies I will just no longer be extremely online. It will be a weird change but maybe I’m gettin too old for this shit
