Tell me about it. Saw two bots arguing in a thread last week, each one posting links to different "official fact check" sites. Feels like we're just watching their performance art now.

But what about the quiet good stuff people share every day? I mean, I see those stories blow up just as fast in my feeds.

inDAE think corner bracing is overkill until you see a fence collapse?
People forget to check their soil before they brace. Sandy or loose dirt will pull out a post no matter how good your hardware is. I dig deeper and pack gravel at the bottom for a solid base.

inSkipped tracking small buys and my budget went off the rails
That bunch of $3 to $10 charges you saw is so common. I read a blog post that compared those small buys to nickels and dimes falling out of your pocket all day. My friend did not track her pharmacy trips for cough drops and magazines, and it added up to a big grocery bill. I started noting every single thing, even a dollar for a song download, and it stopped the bleed. Your method of writing it down right when it happens is key, because once you forget, it's gone.
