Then when you're buying, you can discover loads of hidden gems. There's so many items where you think I would have never found that anywhere else. Then when you're selling, it's so simple and most

importantly, free. It's free, Rob. When it's this easy to sell for free and there's great deals

on things you love. You can't help but say when it's eBay. It excludes vehicles and business

sellers. We're acculturated to believe that if you're accused of a crime, that like you're the

accused, you're a defendant, like you're not Ian, you're not Thomas, you're just like, like,

you're a crime, you know, and something that like I always ask, you know, and jury selection is, do you think that just because someone got arrested, they must have done something wrong?

Because, like, growing up, I remember, like, watching TV shows, like, cops and, like, or, like, law and order.

And, like, everyone, like, like all the tv shows all the media

everything is all centered around like prosecuting people and of course the the guy who's

being arrested is being you know the guy that iced tea arrested in SVU of course he's like he's a

terrible guy and like is he going to get no he's never they're never never gonna get away with it because we're all bad guys and kind of like by extension

We start to think that everyone is accused of a crime is is is somehow bad and and I and I and I just don't think that's the case.
