In September of 2014, Derek Diedricksen uploaded a photo to Facebook and I am still thinking about it almost seven years later.

This photo in question is that of a giant industrial-sized dumpster in a vacant parking lot, full of sealed boxes and unboxed VHS tapes, sprinkled with hundreds of loose cranberries.
