I'm standing in a shopping mall, where an advertisement voice-over just asked me if I was missing my favorite ads, and offered to subscribe me to their service so I could 'keep up'

This epitomizes why I started spending less time in shopping malls.

Much of the mainstream internet has started to make me feel exactly like this moment.

While working a Fourth of July event:

So there I was, a weird little clown chugging around on a weird little mutant tricycle.

A guy walks up to me and says, "Nice bike. Give it to me."

I politely said no.

He asked, "Why not?"

Without thinking, I blurted out, "At the moment, This is my means of production. To seize it would be Marxist, and that wouldn't really fit the theme of the day."

He gave me a somewhat confused fist bump and left me to my weirdness.
