Alarm is set for 4:45am, which lets me get my teeth brushed and pre-workout downed before the gym two blocks from my house opens at 5. I'm up at 3:45-4:15am every morning. I go to bed at 8pm. Once every 1-2 months, I'll hear my alarm.

I realize they're not really for the dead, but the living decide that their dead bodies are entitled to more space than some living. Plots cost thousands of dollars. We ostracize the unhoused. Our priorities are broken, and graveyards are yet another thing for those "with" that those "without" will not have.

Agreed, but that's also weird. Suddenly they're the arbiter of what rules are okay to break and what aren't? Sounds like they're just trying to keep costs/traffic down.

Graveyards are a disgusting waste of space. Their existence communicates to society that many dead people are more entitled to space on this Earth than some living people will ever have.

I only have the context of a somewhat informed person in a college financial aid office. It's really the illegal or refugee/asylee population that has to worry right now unless you're here as a permanent resident and have protested against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza (or as the republicans are calling it, "antisemitism") on a billion dollar campus.

They don't have a strategy yet for de-naturalizing naturalized citizens (they are discussing this), but if you're white and not Muslim, you're probably not drawing their attention.

They call 13 year old girls "young women," so it stands to reason that they're talking about getting teenage boys into the workforce for minimum wage here, yeah.

Shit, you're right. We can't have that. Can't wait to ~~watch~~ read about Josh Hawley breaking Booker's new record with a speech about how freedom of religion is discriminatory against christians and only christians.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I use uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger in Firefox and can read it.

Or use it as a product search engine, then go to the supplier or an alternate online store to buy the one you want. I don't have it on my phone but do go to it in browser occasionally for that.
