I am far too lazy to use Marketplace, or any other place where I can sell stuff. I have bunch of guitars that I never learned to play and never will, that I could easily sell, but instead I'm probably just gonna load them all up in the car with a bunch of other stuff and drop it off at a donation place. It's an hour out of my day and it's all gone.

Marketplace is easy for a lazy person (the reason I use it!) lol. I know I could get more for stuff if I did ebay, or Poshmark, or Mercari - but like I mentioned, I am too lazy to go ship it. Marketplace I can just have someone come to my house and I just bring it outside for them.
That's how I used to feel, when years ago my hubby sold our old couch on craigslist. I was like, you gave them our address??? lol. It's just so common now, usually anything I buy from there, I go to the person's house. Of course, I don't do anything once it's dark, or go in anyone's house.
Some people will do porch pick up which I don't get - if the item is cheap, okay. But how are you going to sell something for hundreds and you tell them to leave the cash under the mat?? I don't trust people that much, too many thieves.
Looks like I have to use Facebook again. Aside from the Instagram pics that automatically post to mine, and the stuff I get tagged in, I haven't been active - until today.
I followed an MDS link to look at the FB of the subject of one of our articles here and then took a look at my feed. Two good friends of mine had passed away recently and I had no idea because I no longer live in my old hometown (Buffalo) and never pay attention to much on social media. It seems that fucking Facebook is the only way I can keep in touch with anyone. If that's the only way I have to keep up with people, then I'm stuck looking at it again.
I think, though, that I'ver wiped all of the toxicity of social media from my brain and will be able to use it better now. I no longer care about anything that occurs on there other than what my people are up to.

I am so so sorry about your friends.
Everything is on fb now. And I fucking hate it. My old shelter news, new shelter news, Austins school shit, and family shit is why I stay.
I wish I could not care, but I do. I cant go on without seeing a post about a mom who hand crafted her child's birthday party from scratch and he had too many friends that he couldnt invite them all, and look shes in full spandex bc she got on Zepbound and she lives in a huge mansion and has the perfect life.![]()

Can I block all but maybe 20-30 people?
