When it ends I’ll have an internet funeral.

      The truth is that I don’t have a reason that makes sense to anyone other than me, but I’ll try and explain it.

      I am a stay at home parent, and I drive a lot. Taking kids to various places. I decided that to support various local businesses I would leave google reviews. So, I started doing that, and they started doing really well.

      After a while my phone started sending me notifications. It would be from google and would say something like “We see you went to X shop 2 days ago. Tell us about your experience. That kinda made me feel gross.

      I started thinking about how much information we give up involuntarily, and don’t get it twisted. I don’t think that I’m “special”, or that these companies are after me specifically. But where I go, and what I do, and what I look at, and who I am is my business.

      I know that I’ll leave some stuff behind. After all I’m on the internet right now. But, I’m going to support that system as little as I can and still be comfortable.

        Up to you, I guess I don’t really care how I’m buried for example, but I’d certainly rather be dumped in the woods rather than embalmed and have a plot etc

          I could get behind natural burial. Ask a mortician on YouTube is/was one of my favorite channels.

          But yeah I don’t care what happens to my body. I’ll probably wind up in a potter’s field somewhere. Which is fine by me. Though it does seem like a huge waste. Like if I’m no longer using my body. It seems like they could at least feed it to some animals or something.
