Anything fancy and you have toilet, wastewater lines, or septic system clogging or an inability to absorb what it is supposed to, and the consumer of any class will go back to the normal product which has plenty of options. Ironically one product you can&#39;t enshittify is the one that cleans it up. 2025-12-16T19:18:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswllmyrp0za3qeqa428duxgvd8cagadww7na5mwgz5kgux47l02eszyqtdcxpskaru62zfunev2ewfsh2dmf07v8fj9mt9uku900h0krqxgm6xh07 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0wcndjanxdwypjzkksmq5dq9udq5rwpghgyv8ln08z4nm9ve29zs77u884'>nevent1q…u884</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>&#34;The rich just don&#39;t buy enough stuff.

The only good writing I did before college was two creative writing projects. I could never fit my thoughts into a five paragraph essay, nor 500 words(the other constrant on many of these essays ). If not constrained, i&#39;ll usually go for 1200-3000 words and many paragraphs. That is why I did so crappy in English class. 2025-08-11T19:18:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdh4shd9vq26acmg3ceg72sv5dfk4sjgly3vp7q8etdkvsl0s5mqczyqtdcxpskaru62zfunev2ewfsh2dmf07v8fj9mt9uku900h0krqxg80yud3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8lpymceqj3nxexxqpacpnxzftvhyv4up76a5axsky59vqv842vsqqsvkqj'>nevent1q…vkqj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#1 not technically a cat, but the Flerken Goose (Chewie in the comic books). #2 who only had a cameo in the Wyrd sisters animated adaptation, but Nanny Ogg&#39;s cat Greebo from the Discworld series of books. 2025-08-08T19:18:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqgvz909e3sy3estktvwedw8f9p3qr30a3vgedcfs0nzy60ycqywgzyqtdcxpskaru62zfunev2ewfsh2dmf07v8fj9mt9uku900h0krqxgcwg9pq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqx9hzg2deh3jdzluqn63sx0hjwzz77e29sdrzsm0llkp4ck42yqqgnzafq'>nevent1q…zafq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sadly, Maxwell Street is all gone, just modern dorms, UIC stadiums and condos now.
