Meh

My thanks to Meh for sponsoring last week at DF. Meh puts up a new deal every day, and they do with panache. As they say, “It’s actual, real, weird shit you didn’t know existed for half the price you would’ve guessed.”

Don’t tell any of my other sponsors, but Meh is my favorite longtime DF sponsor. I love the way their orange graphics look against DF’s #4a525a background. And I always love their sponsored posts that go into the RSS feed at the start of the sponsorship week. I’ll just quote theirs from this week in full:

Everything sucks. The whole world’s going to shit, especially our part of it, and it can feel like anything fun or silly is sticking your head in the sand.

And yet. It doesn’t help to just be miserable. If you’re going to last, you’ve got to find your little moments of joy, or at a break from the misery.

Buying our crap at Meh is not how you solve the world’s problems. We’re not that crass. But maybe a minute a day of reading our little write-up, and a couple minutes of catching up with the Meh community, of making a few new online friends, and yes, of occasionally picking up a weird gadget or strange snack you’ve never heard of is just a few minutes you get to take a break, not giving in to how bad everything else is.

Of course we would say that. Of course we benefit from that. But it is also part of why we have a quirky write-up. Why we have a community. Why we’re selling whatever weird thing is over at Meh today.
