Five and two year old at the table, two year old asks "hey google how does a sponge work"
"According to the website mayoclinic.org the contraceptive sponge is a type of birth control (contraceptive) that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. It is soft and disk-shaped and made of polyurethane foam. The contraceptive sponge contains spermicide, which kills sperm. Before having sex, you insert the sponge deep inside the vagina so that it covers the cervix. Your vaginal muscles hold it in place. The contraceptive sponge has a strap on one side for easier removal. The sponge can prevent pregnancy but doesn't protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)."

How about a place like Birmingham, England? It was pretty working class and hardly culturally prominent (not unlike Manchester), but produced Black Sabbath, UB40, Judas Priest, ELO/The Move, Plant and Bonham, Duran Duran, Dexys Midnight Runners, Moody Blues, Steel Pulse, Nick Mason, Carl Palmer the Beat, Steve Winwood etc., Swell Maps. And of course more bands (Godflesh, Napalm Death, Ocean Colour Scene) soon after.

so which one is pink? it is not gilmour because he was not there when it was first named and it was not klose because it was still named so when he left early and it was not barrett because he went mad and it still kept going and it was not waters when he thought the final cut was the end and it came back and it was not wright because he was not officially part of it when they made amlor so pink must be mason who was in the beginning till the end!

Best to address that question from a non-dual perspective. When you investigate more closely, you'll find that there is no Pink.

FTR I have never actually seen an Amazon delivery person so I don't know what they look like - just trying to evoke a generally fuzzy state of mind and an assortment of weird habits born of isolation and boredom, and exaggerating for effect.
I do feel like I'm sleepwalking a bit, and slipping from paths of righteousness and healthy community-oriented living into dissolution and decay. Many people I know are expressing similar sentiments, though they would definitely not choose the same specifics.

idk I mean I usually saw the Amazon trucks but rarely saw the people emerge from them until recently, because we have a hub where they drop packages in our apartment complex.
as opposed to UPS drivers, who I have been seeing run like they have hemorrhoids to drop off packages since childhood.

Okay. I mean, I look out on the porch and there's a package there. I didn't see it arrive, so I don't know who brought it.
Of course I see people delivering things out in the world. I just don't know who brought my specific things to my specific doorstep; I don't see any humblebrag or elitism in that.
