I would love to put stuff on Freecycle, but Hubby objects. If he gives stuff away for free, he wants it to benefit someone he knows, not someone who might just be trolling for freebies that they're going to put in a yard sale or something (his words). He's not much for the generalized good karma, he likes specific good-deed karma. Part of his insanely awesome networking skillz. Maybe I can talk him into targeted karma, putting up stuff that will introduce him to people he can network with later.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Connie, you can specify on Freecycle that it is only for the end user.

And my cynical brain said, "Yeah, and you should believe them?" Sad me. Actually, as old and battered as some of our stuff is--I'm thinking of all the old dishes we threw into the storage shed when we were in "move like you're evacuating!" mode--few people would want to yard sale them.
Someday I must learn to be accepting of people who aren't personal meatspace friends or Buffistas.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can I go home now?
Can you sneak out without them seeing you?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
