The problem though... big supermarkets in Australia are moving into facial recognition at checkout. They can link all your purchases through your face.
So stay away from the big shops. And keep the little places honest.

I need to quit buying from Walmart. I'm canceling my Amazon account. A couple small, indie online bookstores give me the books I need. All quality literature can be found on those sites,
Our farmer's market costs twice as much for food, that's why we don't shop there. It's very trendy right now.
I'd like to shop there but so far my white privilege has not had a constant stream of $20 bills spewing from my bum, at all. /s
EDIT: And there's just no way to verify if their organic claims are true. The little farms are unlikely to get inspected or audited since they don't have the cash to pay fines anyway. My thinking is mostly the big farms will get inspected if they make organic claims. And then nearly all farms are bereft or micronutrients anyway due to long-term farming. They only replace the macro nutrients, NPK, nothing else.
And if you read the USDA Organic regulations, you can simply claim you cannot find organic pesticides, or organic seeds, and you can still keep the organic label. Read the regulations, they are worthless.
For me the farmer's market is high price, high risk, and low value. I'll buy organic at the store.
That’s so true. I’d love to shop at our local farmers market but the prices are just way too high. It’s really for the well-to-do, not the little guys.
Ours are certified organic, meaning that all farms that participate are certified organic producers or you can't sell in the Farmers' Markets. Almost everything produce goes on sale the last hour, $1/lb. Go an hour before, look all around, then buy. I "get it" about the high prices. Ppl don't know that the older we get the more we require better nutrition than when under 50. Pesticides do a lot of damage to the body (you): https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/weed-killer-and-autism-asd-or-adhd. ALL food should be grown at least naturally and without pesticides that stick in your tissues.
That’s a good idea to go late. I’m not sure that my local FM would do a late discount. When I lived in Africa it was expected to bargain for everything but that wouldn’t go over here. Thanks for growing quality food. I raise my own veggies and pressure what I can but it’s still not enough variety.
Everyone is going to have to deal with their local situation in their own locale, in their own way. Simply saying "Farmers' Markets" isn't a command from On High. It's: "Your place, Your problems, Your solutions Your way." I do NOT want food grown and/or sprayed with poisons-- MY choice. And you can always try offering a lower price at the end of the markets' hours and see what they do. If you were a grower, would you really want to go home with unsold loads of highly perishable veg??
1. W-e-l-l-l, maybe a good idea... meanwhile, back in reality, we don't have "community/grassroots level" organic coops that inspect anything. And why would they be any less corrupt?
2. The government is not setting the prices that farmers charge for their organic produce. And unlike commodities such as wheat, corn and soybeans, organic produce is not subsidized. I'm completely sick of pie-in-the-sky speculation and wishes about some imagined reality that exactly matches the fantasies up in leftist and other heads and is sold to us as "reality," "truth," etc., and anything else other than The Most Idealistic Simply. Won't. Do!!!
Glad to see you've got it all figured out, down to the last dotting of the I's and crossing of the T's. All you people with such BIG minds, and no legs: Now get to work and make it happen so we can all see how good you are at that :-)
While costs of "conventionally" grown foods are creeping up to be close enough that I happily pay the difference for food I know is less likely to wind up putting toxins in my tissues, where it does God-knows-what (but we already do... ;-)
People generally need LESS quantity and a whole LOT MORE quality of food as they age, and certainly in their later years. I'm living this REALITY right now. Now, you can get by-- or so you believe-- with eating cheap, poorer quality foods loaded with toxins when you're young, but the problems and arterial plaques we're plagued with in later years BEGIN IN YOUR TWENTIES--!!! And that is NO lie. Just go watch Pradip Jamnadas, M.D., on YouTube, and Dr. Steven Berg. And don't give ME no sh!t about this. I am not going to brook any bullshitting "arguments" to the contrary, any of you snarksters, you.
I'll tell you that the Farmers' Markets here charge the same whether you're purple, magenta, chartreuse, violet, polka-dotted, brown, black, white or every shade in between. Checking around in our local independent grocery store (there are two in my area, both family-owned and run) the prices, for the health boost you get, are not too terribly different. Now you can either keep eating food doused with poisons or you can considerably unburden your toxic "body burden" by eating organic as much as possible. AND we can band together with neighbors, each and every one growing something and NONE using poisons of any kind. Most people think you just stick a seed in the soil, walk away and voila-- Perfect tomatoes, three months later! Not so. Your food is only as good as the soil it grows in. Let me make that clear: YOUR FOOD IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE SOIL IT GROWS IN. Take care of your soil. The British are master gardeners and I'm positive they have many local as well as online gardening groups. Best of luck!
You are probably para-sympathetic dominant like me.
Look up the late Dr. Nicholas Gonzales, who using the protocols of Dr. William Donald Kelley, saved most of the stage four cancer patients that came to him after their doctors told them to go home and die.
All proteins are made bioavailable by being broken down into amino acids by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is far stronger than the acid in your car's battery.
Most vegans are vaxxed, liberal, and are really good sheeples. Let them eat kale. Pass the meat, please, and may our bodies rejoice in a plenitude of life giving protein. And, all the people said Amen, and Amen.
Okay. Vegan for 20+ years and unvaxxed. Rejoice with your vaxxed meat full of hormones. We need our men to fight back, not amens and how to love thy neighbor. YOU are the reason why we’re in this mess. “Blame vax, blame libs, blame left; right; and not YOURSELF.” Your kids and grandkids must be so proud of you for rejoicing, waiting for someone else to do the hard work. Way to go.
You both need to read up on Dr. Donald William Kelley's extensive work on metabolism and the protocol he used to cure his own stage four pancreatic cancer.
Nutritional science is pretty abysmal, in that they change the rules all the time. One thing most seem to agree on is that too much processed crap is bad for you and too much refined sugar.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet (Valter Longo) seems to have some decent studies behind it and he suggests mostly vegetables and fat based (so I am guessing salads with olive oil). He suggest doing that with limited calories - around 50% of your normal intake for 6 days, every so often, the frequency depending on how healthy you are initially.
I agree. I'm starting to become a large believer, if you feel something is off/wrong about your body on a biological-level, just don't eat for 7 days....and then eat clean-meats without carbs, for another 7 days to let your body rebuild whatever malfunctioning-cells it broke down, watch a ton of your issues clear up.
If you really want to be successful, you'll have to determine where on the para-sympathetic dominant to sympathetic dominant range your metabolism lies or spend your life chasing ghosts.
It helps a lot to research the work of John Beard, William Donald Kelley, and Nicholas Gonzalez to know how to determine the basis of your metabolism.
Perhaps. I'm not sure if that's true or not. Never really looked in to relationship between autonomic nervous system arousal and diet. Initially to me, they'd seem unrelated? I mean, I can increase my autonomic nervous system arousal by adjusting the time I spend breathing in versus out, taking two breaths in for every one breath out or vice-versa, etc.... You can train long-term breathing patterns too to long-term adjust your autonomic nervous system arousal. Does that mean your metabolism changes permanently or with each new breathing pattern you try?
I'm initially a little bit skeptic. I mean, if I exercise, I will temporarily become dominant in one form. Does that mean, my food will digest differently because I exercised? Technically-yes. My body will digest more protein following a gym workout than if I had not worked out. As it is seeking nutrients with which to repair.
Yes, the horror story that is nutritional science teaches us the problems with science, as it is practiced. It's influenced more by agendas and greed than a search for true answers. I've lost faith in studies, including so-called "gold standard" randomized double-blind. There's just too much fakery and nothing can be trusted anymore. The best bet is paleo, since it's the best approximation we can do of the natural human diet. Predictably, mainstream nutritional science hammered it ruthlessly, although it's gotten better treatment from them lately - not that I care what they say. Nutritional science is worse than worthless, it's usually harmful advice. Intermittent fasting was part of our historical dietary patterns, btw.
So many vegetables are naturally full of phytotoxins. My body always tells me to go easy on the damn vegetables for that reason, same for fruit. Vegetables are HIGHLY overrated.
Glyphosate is being found in grains where it is thought to contribute to human infertility and also, since it is passed through mothers to their children, may be a cause of autism and other behavioral disorders in youngsters. If it's in grains, you can bet it's in veggies, too.
More people get poisoned by spraying Roundup on the weeds in their gardens than by eating it.
I have a former friend who stopped talking to me because I kidded him for spraying Roundup on his driveway to kill the weeds growing up though it while wearing sandals without socks. Bayer/Monsanto says to use PPE when applying Roundup, and they don't mean barefoot in sandals.
My neighbor Allan had some beehives on his property that gave him several pounds of honey every year. He was dismayed one year that they had all died. When I told him that his wife Carol was spraying Round Up around his property, he was perplexed.
there is a book about them. Not sure that I agree with any one method of eating as a one size fits all, but here is name of the author of the book(s) and by now i am sure there are many, many more since eating is something we all do: Dr. Gundry.
i checked out the book - didn't really like it because i didn't want to give up those plant foods LOL - though some people i know swore that cutting out the foods he told them to, reduced their symptoms of things like arthritis etc. because the theory is that these foods cause inflammation due to their substances which keep animals from eating them. Interesting concept. i don't fall into the trap of buying any of the branded products these authors try to push - that's just common sense.
I used to suffer from severe knee pain, that I finally figured out was caused by drinking red wine or beer containing purines. Now I do not drink alcohol at all, and my overall health is far better.
I wouldn't be surprised if 5-LOXIN wouldn't have solved the problem, since it is a concentrate of the boswellia in the frankincense like that given to the baby Jesus by the wise men.
If the bible is to be believed, he sent himself down to be used in human sacrifice after leaving a small group of people who proceeded to monetize his teachings after he was dead and risen.
You and I are talking about different Gundrys then. The one I'm talking about is a cardiothoracic surgeon, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author, with a website dedicated to nutrition at gundrymd.com
No, it is not. What you are referring to are studies that group people who follow the "Standard American Diet", which consists of eating tons and tons and tons of crap as being "meat eaters" and ascribing all of the ill effects of said diet to meat.
I feel much better when I eat beef after an attempt at being a vegetarian for a while. Lowering one's intake of carbohydrates also helps lower depression.
It will all collapse eventually when reality clashes against left ideology as it did in former East Germany. Central planning and controlling will be so inferior to individual decentralized systems that people will get very frustrated very quickly. The centralized Covid responds is a good example. Millions more died because the central decision was made to outlaw repurposed drugs like Ivermectin and others. Millions got damaged with useless lockdowns as Sweden shows. And so on. It depends how much people are willing to suffer and go along before civil disobedience will start. I talked to people from East Germany after the wall came down. They said hardly anyone played by the official rules anymore and the system was quietly undermined until it collapsed. A metaphor comes to min: You have this massive big steaming machine rolling over everyone. And people quietly throw sand into the gearbox when no-one is looking. As bigger something is, as more areas for attack. We have numbers and we are divetse and flexible. Like a school of fish around a big shark.
I don't know... The difference between now and then is the sophistication of the machine. AI deployed alongside facial recognition, centrally controlled currency, and cameras everywhere can make for a pretty daunting foe. Combine that with a strategic enough implementation that brings 70-80% of the population along more-or-less willingly, and there won't be much hope for those of us that want to live outside of the fence.
I think the best strategy is going to be to literally move. I'm sure at least a handful of states will vote to opt out of this game, and the trick will be to go there and then influence the state government to keep it out.
Well family and children, though they work hard to destroy that, are very important. But so is: freedom to disagree and discuss (freedom to think), medical freedom (choice - my body my choice), freedom from unreasonable restrictions and arbitrary rules (see Covid - rules for thee not for me). I'm not sure where in the USA you can go. Some states do better some worse. All based off 1. how much popluation they have that depend on fed benes (medicare, medicaid, social services) how much infiltration has been made by Soros Attorney's in the state (do they follow the Constitution etc) and how valuable (stragetic) the land is... (Heavy Farm Land being bought up by the Gates for what purpose?)
I think that it is okay to consider God in the list of life's priorities. Even if conventional religion is questioned there will always be those who believe. Entire Countries are built apon a belief in God, including ours.
I agree with all that you have thoughtfully stated. There is a site called citi-data.com that gives stats like age and economic structure of each State's population. It would be helpful if they could create a data site to fit this current political climate. They do include crime, speaking of Soros.
You have brought up considerations that are meaningful when choosing a State to move to.
We must have different types of laziness, possibly because I am semi-retired. Since I live in a van and sleep, as needed, in an arctic sleeping bag, my most pernicious laziness is hating to get up when it is cold.
I too have lived in alternate quarters, where someone else may never consider my unusual but resourceful residence. Your brain sounds reasonable to me, it is your body that betrays you by forcing you into the cold.
I was disabled by a surgeon in the 1990's. The shocking part of the story is that my husband was disabled by a surgeon in the 1980's. I was an Ophthalmic Tech with forays into different specialties for 15 years but that did not help me when injuries entered the picture. I was too sick to sue and SSD took 12 years. I know all about semi retirement and it's creative requirements.
Hopefully yours is just a hiatus. Either way it is just a step in the dance of life.
Books can be changed. 1984 will no longer exist. Libraries are purging "controversial" information. Remember Bush Jr. and post 9-11 and that all library patrons were to be monitored for all books taken out.
Books and papers require bonfires for destruction. Copies can be stashed away and hidden. But all digital info can be deleted with a couple strokes of a key.
I won’t use self-serve. I’m not on the payroll, don’t get paid annual leave, don’t get staff discount. In addition, I don’t have the time to keep waiting for staff to override the machine when it makes constant mistakes or refuses purchases.
In fairness, I use self-checkout when possible. I've rarely had a problem, but once did get a product wrongly scanned. Pays to watch the ticker and make sure the description matches.
Actually, hilariously, Jordan Peterson issued a wink wink warning to all boys and girls wink not wink to get expensive foam and cover up the surveillance cameras with it.
I don't know. I'm not in the networks of people who shop at those stores. I read it first on twitter - whhhattt? - and news articles appear later, rumbling about "privacy". The third link had this:
"Attorney-general Mark Dreyfus' department released its review of the privacy act last week which found it was not "fit for purpose" and doesn't protect Australian's privacy in the digital age.
"Our current privacy regulations are woefully inadequate, out of date, and not fit for purpose for the technical realities of the modern digital economy," program lead at Digital Rights Watch Samantha Floreani said.
"People deserve meaningful privacy protections and a regulator who can enforce them properly.
"Protecting privacy is an essential component to upholding our democracy, reining in corporate power, and fostering online safety in the digital age."
I'm wondering how authentic that is, since he is from one of the Left political parties that seem to be completely in cahoots on implementing the WEF agenda.
I suppose this is where Igor says the corporations/govt are just 'doing it' and the ordinary consultation processes aren't happening. It takes a while to wake up to these things.
not EVERYONE on the left is a commie or not EVERYONE on the right is an earth rapist and murderer. They want us to fight on a political realm. it's all made up and both sides have their agendas, using certain truths to further their FOR-PROFIT agendas and neither side really gives a damn about us but they make it sound as though they do. withdraw from politics and in-fighting; those bought and sold want us fighting while they rape, pillage, and kill all that is good on this earth and good in humanity. Unite to fight back - that is the only way. Politicians are not very high up in the food chain. Follow the MONEY
From a reply I made above, these were all examples from Woolworths but you can see by the third article that Bunnings & KMart had been moving that way.
That's a good point. Almost everyone I know, has used a Wal-Mart checkout with those face-scanners above the till....50+ times....associating face data to credit card data potentially....
The problem though... big supermarkets in Australia are moving into facial recognition at checkout. They can link all your purchases through your face.
So stay away from the big shops. And keep the little places honest.

Why are you trying to eat less meat? Is it due to the propaganda you read in the MSM?
The truth is humans evolved eating animal products and all of our needed nutrients are contained within these foods.
Most plants are full of toxic defense chemicals; they may be good medicine but they are not good food.
As soon as I switched to a mostly meat diet my health improved.
You are probably para-sympathetic dominant like me.
Look up the late Dr. Nicholas Gonzales, who using the protocols of Dr. William Donald Kelley, saved most of the stage four cancer patients that came to him after their doctors told them to go home and die.
I was here to ask the same. The building block of our body is protein. And animal protein is the most bioavailable nutrient.
All proteins are made bioavailable by being broken down into amino acids by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is far stronger than the acid in your car's battery.
Stomach acid is dilute hydrochloric acid HCl with a pH of 2.0
Battery acid is concentrated sulphuric acid H2SO4.
"Stomach acid has a pH between 1 and 2, which makes it quite acidic."
healthline.com/health/how-strong-is-stomach-acid
How can something with a pH of 2 be dilute when the scale only runs to 0?
1. pH is a logorithmic scale.
2. pH of 7 is neutral
3. Compared to pH of 2, pH of 1 is 100 times more acidic.
Thank you for teaching all of that to those too lazy to educate themselves.
They can find out what the difference is between a logorithmic and a logarithmic scale at andrews.edu/~calkins/math/webtexts/numb17.htm
Ph is the reciprocal of the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution.
7 is neutral, anything below that number is acid, and anything above is basic.
I would not try drinking concentrated HCl if I were you :-)
After copying and posting all of that, you call pH Ph?
A strong burp will let you taste 1 to 2 pH stomach acid.
Sorry about that, it is 60 years ago since I took Chemistry at school :-)
I guess I got it confused with Ph.D. in my old age.

Science doesn't have rules. Science has theories based on data, and the theories have to be revised as more and better data become available.
Large numbers are singing the praises of intermittent fasting.
I agree. I'm starting to become a large believer, if you feel something is off/wrong about your body on a biological-level, just don't eat for 7 days....and then eat clean-meats without carbs, for another 7 days to let your body rebuild whatever malfunctioning-cells it broke down, watch a ton of your issues clear up.
If you really want to be successful, you'll have to determine where on the para-sympathetic dominant to sympathetic dominant range your metabolism lies or spend your life chasing ghosts.
It helps a lot to research the work of John Beard, William Donald Kelley, and Nicholas Gonzalez to know how to determine the basis of your metabolism.

I haven't ever looked into the autonomic nervous system either, since it isn't involved,
para-sympathetic and sympathetic are terms used to describe the state of the autonomic nervous system.....
Perhaps for you, but those of us who have studied know better.
Yes, the horror story that is nutritional science teaches us the problems with science, as it is practiced. It's influenced more by agendas and greed than a search for true answers. I've lost faith in studies, including so-called "gold standard" randomized double-blind. There's just too much fakery and nothing can be trusted anymore.

Meat is good for you and so are plants. Eat organic.
They have just discovered the use of mRNA vaccines in our pork and beef.
Use local butchers! Meat good.
So many vegetables are naturally full of phytotoxins. My body always tells me to go easy on the damn vegetables for that reason, same for fruit. Vegetables are HIGHLY overrated.
I'm with you.
Kindly name the toxic defense chemicals.
Glyphosate is being found in grains where it is thought to contribute to human infertility and also, since it is passed through mothers to their children, may be a cause of autism and other behavioral disorders in youngsters. If it's in grains, you can bet it's in veggies, too.
Roundup is sprayed on crops to harvest them.
More people get poisoned by spraying Roundup on the weeds in their gardens than by eating it.
I have a former friend who stopped talking to me because I kidded him for spraying Roundup on his driveway to kill the weeds growing up though it while wearing sandals without socks. Bayer/Monsanto says to use PPE when applying Roundup, and they don't mean barefoot in sandals.
My neighbor Allan had some beehives on his property that gave him several pounds of honey every year. He was dismayed one year that they had all died. When I told him that his wife Carol was spraying Round Up around his property, he was perplexed.
Since Roundup is sold as a herbicide, even though it is also used as a pesticide, maybe he has never thought of his bees as pests.
there is a book about them. Not sure that I agree with any one method of eating as a one size fits all, but here is name of the author of the book(s) and by now i am sure there are many, many more since eating is something we all do: Dr. Gundry.
Dr. Gundry has some interesting things to say that are dependent on whether you buy anything from him.
Some plant toxins: Oxalates, Lectins, Phthalates, Goitrogens, and more...
And they are present in organically grown produce.
Yes, they are part of plants’ cellular makeup and defense chemicals.
i checked out the book - didn't really like it because i didn't want to give up those plant foods LOL - though some people i know swore that cutting out the foods he told them to, reduced their symptoms of things like arthritis etc. because the theory is that these foods cause inflammation due to their substances which keep animals from eating them.

As a 11 year sober person I can concur 😉
I wouldn't be surprised if 5-LOXIN wouldn't have solved the problem, since it is a concentrate of the boswellia in the frankincense like that given to the baby Jesus by the wise men.
This is not recommended as He ended up nailed to a cross, that was cruel and undeserved. All he did was to throw the money changers out of the temple.
If the bible is to be believed, he sent himself down to be used in human sacrifice after leaving a small group of people who proceeded to monetize his teachings after he was dead and risen.
I don't know what book you are talking about.
look up the author. i'm not here to do your work for you.
I don't know which author you are talking about either.
Gundry is a charlatan.
You don't understand what he says?
How so? It's Gundry, who doesn't understand the research.
He does his own research.
He had some publications about heart surgery, none about nutrition.
You and I are talking about different Gundrys then. The one I'm talking about is a cardiothoracic surgeon, heart surgeon, medical researcher, and author, with a website dedicated to nutrition at gundrymd.com
It's proven beyond reasonable doubt that meat (or animal products in general) is not good for your health.
No, it is not. What you are referring to are studies that group people who follow the "Standard American Diet", which consists of eating tons and tons and tons of crap as being "meat eaters" and ascribing all of the ill effects of said diet to meat.
Are you related to the late Ancel Benjamin Keys?
No, but I highly respect him.
Are you in possession of his corpse?
Sure, I've built a mausoleum here, and worship before his corpse twice a day.
Stalin is probably envious.
I feel much better when I eat beef after an attempt at being a vegetarian for a while. Lowering one's intake of carbohydrates also helps lower depression.
It is probably caused by your body having the amino acids that aren't available from plants restored.
Excellent points, Marla. I wholeheartedly agree.
I just met a girl named Maria :-)

It will all collapse eventually when reality clashes against left ideology as it did in former East Germany. Central planning and controlling will be so inferior to individual decentralized systems that people will get very frustrated very quickly. The centralized Covid responds is a good example. Millions more died because the central decision was made to outlaw repurposed drugs like Ivermectin and others. Millions got damaged with useless lockdowns as Sweden shows. And so on. It depends how much people are willing to suffer and go along before civil disobedience will start. I talked to people from East Germany after the wall came down. They said hardly anyone played by the official rules anymore and the system was quietly undermined until it collapsed. A metaphor comes to min: You have this massive big steaming machine rolling over everyone. And people quietly throw sand into the gearbox when no-one is looking. As bigger something is, as more areas for attack. We have numbers and we are divetse and flexible. Like a school of fish around a big shark.
Pray you are right.
probably why they are trying to get all the authoritarian mechanisms into place as quickly as possible
But you will own nothing and be happy according to Klaus Schwab, especially after 7 billion other people have been euthanized.
I don't know... The difference between now and then is the sophistication of the machine. AI deployed alongside facial recognition, centrally controlled currency, and cameras everywhere can make for a pretty daunting foe. Combine that with a strategic enough implementation that brings 70-80% of the population along more-or-less willingly, and there won't be much hope for those of us that want to live outside of the fence.
Better start now.
Where shall we come together? Small groups may never get to the beast.
It is hard to find martyrs these days, which the first wave will be...
I think the best strategy is going to be to literally move. I'm sure at least a handful of states will vote to opt out of this game, and the trick will be to go there and then influence the state government to keep it out.
I live in Oregon. I am watching and ready to go.
I placed my bet on a different part of the country, but same.
Which States are at the top of your list? What new motivators do you think we will see for people relocating?
Schools, job, family. Are they still our biggest influences?
Well family and children, though they work hard to destroy that, are very important. But so is: freedom to disagree and discuss (freedom to think), medical freedom (choice - my body my choice), freedom from unreasonable restrictions and arbitrary rules (see Covid - rules for thee not for me). I'm not sure where in the USA you can go. Some states do better some worse. All based off 1. how much popluation they have that depend on fed benes (medicare, medicaid, social services) how much infiltration has been made by Soros Attorney's in the state (do they follow the Constitution etc) and how valuable (stragetic) the land is... (Heavy Farm Land being bought up by the Gates for what purpose?)
I think that it is okay to consider God in the list of life's priorities. Even if conventional religion is questioned there will always be those who believe. Entire Countries are built apon a belief in God, including ours.
I agree with all that you have thoughtfully stated. There is a site called citi-data.com that gives stats like age and economic structure of each State's population. It would be helpful if they could create a data site to fit this current political climate. They do include crime, speaking of Soros.
You have brought up considerations that are meaningful when choosing a State to move to.
We all need to cancel Amazon. Bleed them dry.
What is taking you so long?
Laziness is what is taking me so long.
We must have different types of laziness, possibly because I am semi-retired. Since I live in a van and sleep, as needed, in an arctic sleeping bag, my most pernicious laziness is hating to get up when it is cold.
I too have lived in alternate quarters, where someone else may never consider my unusual but resourceful residence. Your brain sounds reasonable to me, it is your body that betrays you by forcing you into the cold.
I was disabled by a surgeon in the 1990's. The shocking part of the story is that my husband was disabled by a surgeon in the 1980's. I was an Ophthalmic Tech with forays into different specialties for 15 years but that did not help me when injuries entered the picture. I was too sick to sue and SSD took 12 years. I know all about semi retirement and it's creative requirements.
Hopefully yours is just a hiatus. Either way it is just a step in the dance of life.
Take care!

Book Depository (owned by Amazon) is being deleted as of 26 April. Cost cutting move no doubt.
Books can be changed. 1984 will no longer exist. Libraries are purging "controversial" information. Remember Bush Jr. and post 9-11 and that all library patrons were to be monitored for all books taken out.
Books and papers require bonfires for destruction. Copies can be stashed away and hidden. But all digital info can be deleted with a couple strokes of a key.
Paper can be dissolved in acid bath safer.
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a must read.
It is becoming time to emulate the book people in Fahrenheit 451.
Is "Book Depository" a file?
Website
Which website?
Or go to the library. I've saved tons of money.
The public library is cheaper, but run by the government.
Yes I know. I'm picking and choosing my battles. I can't give everything up or be worried about everything.
Much quality literature can be found online on multiple mirrored websites.
!!!!????
O.M.G.
This also happens at Walmart self-serve checkouts. So I prefer to wait in line at the one open cashier-manned check-out.
And pay with cash, so that your credit/debit card does not track you.
I won’t use self-serve. I’m not on the payroll, don’t get paid annual leave, don’t get staff discount. In addition, I don’t have the time to keep waiting for staff to override the machine when it makes constant mistakes or refuses purchases.
As John Pinette said, "Before you know it, they'll be asking us to stock shelves and calling us to a 'clean-up' in Aisle 6."
I saw that maintaining a high social credit score in China requires unpaid manual labor 😵💫
Who told you that ?
They don't refer to it as Digital Concentration Camp Currency for nothing.
Another day older and deeper in debt
St Peter do not call me, I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

In fairness, I use self-checkout when possible. I've rarely had a problem, but once did get a product wrongly scanned. Pays to watch the ticker and make sure the description matches.
We are on camera all over the store, not just at check-out :(

If you're in the US I'm reading here that Walmart is already doing it.
Dear God Help Us.
Blessed Be. We will need our Mother and Father now.
Amen 🙏🏾! Those whose sins have been forgiven are blessed!
In London they are wrecking the surveillance cameras with expanding foam. On the streets, not in the supermarkets, yet.
On that note : https://twitter.com/JP__75/status/1647892781539692552?t=Ol9XOIz-nGXm6zbw_4bfLg&s=19
Actually, hilariously, Jordan Peterson issued a wink wink warning to all boys and girls wink not wink to get expensive foam and cover up the surveillance cameras with it.
You could wear a mask!!!
I'll stay away from Australia too.
And buy food from your local community.
I can confirm this is true. https://www.choice.com.au/consumers-and-data/data-collection-and-use/how-your-data-is-used/articles/kmart-bunnings-and-the-good-guys-using-facial-recognition-technology-in-store
Mask up. My mask protects you and your mask protects me. What a great video game this world is...lol
That’s incredible! People aren’t pushing back on that?
I don't know. I'm not in the networks of people who shop at those stores. I read it first on twitter - whhhattt? - and news articles appear later, rumbling about "privacy". The third link had this:
"Attorney-general Mark Dreyfus' department released its review of the privacy act last week which found it was not "fit for purpose" and doesn't protect Australian's privacy in the digital age.
"Our current privacy regulations are woefully inadequate, out of date, and not fit for purpose for the technical realities of the modern digital economy," program lead at Digital Rights Watch Samantha Floreani said.
"People deserve meaningful privacy protections and a regulator who can enforce them properly.
"Protecting privacy is an essential component to upholding our democracy, reining in corporate power, and fostering online safety in the digital age."
I'm wondering how authentic that is, since he is from one of the Left political parties that seem to be completely in cahoots on implementing the WEF agenda.
I suppose this is where Igor says the corporations/govt are just 'doing it' and the ordinary consultation processes aren't happening. It takes a while to wake up to these things.
not EVERYONE on the left is a commie or not EVERYONE on the right is an earth rapist and murderer. They want us to fight on a political realm. it's all made up and both sides have their agendas, using certain truths to further their FOR-PROFIT agendas and neither side really gives a damn about us but they make it sound as though they do. withdraw from politics and in-fighting; those bought and sold want us fighting while they rape, pillage, and kill all that is good on this earth and good in humanity. Unite to fight back - that is the only way. Politicians are not very high up in the food chain. Follow the MONEY
In Australia there's a tiny bit more resistance against the WEF on the right. But maybe that's just for show.
Get something sticky on your hand and smear the cameras.

Love it! Read through them all :D
WHICH big supermarkets in Australia are moving into facial recognition?
From a reply I made above, these were all examples from Woolworths but you can see by the third article that Bunnings & KMart had been moving that way.
"First began in 2020. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/eat/woolworths-trialling-video-surveillance-at-selfservice-checkouts/news-story/29b75c97c5fba310071318b6ef87a459

That's a good point. Almost everyone I know, has used a Wal-Mart checkout with those face-scanners above the till....50+ times....associating face data to credit card data potentially....
Time to start wearing a full-face mask when in big supermarkets in Australia.
Would just have to bear the ire of the anti-maskers. :D
In what would be full anonymity to facial recognition.
Moscow too.
hard to escape, eh?
