So, I made an account on Ebay. Ebay is now the best.

Like, I am not gonna browse it, since I will end up with so much stupid crap that I didn't need but hey it was only $0.90. I was looking for a red laser pointer, and figured I'd see if there were any good deals there. I find both red and green laser pointers, for $0.90, and also, a blue violet laser pointer* for $0.90.

My general view on life is, "If it seems like too good of a deal, it is." So, I check the buyer feedback. Thousands of people, going, "Hey, great stuff, faster shipping than expected, great price!". The only downside was that shipping was around nine dollars. But even so, it was cheaper than the generic red laser pointer, in most stores.

So, anyone else constantly impressed by cheap goods from China on ebay? I shall let y'all know, when it arrives, how it is.

*The laser that I got isn't this exact one, but has the exact same listed specifications as the one here.

Even after* I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
