@AproposJoe @Wildethingy I'm gonna go with the first one, even though the second one made me laugh.
@ScottSoCal @Wildethingy is that imaginary as in Mr X was imaginary or as in he had a great imagination and after finding out his dad wasnβt really his dad he created a wild fantasy about his true father and managed to convince billions that it was true?

Unless the second language is Korean, and then you have a second Seoul.
Another day, another escalation in the MAGA civil war.
This time, MTGβwho has been publicly feuding with her former BFFs Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetzβis getting called nasty names by one of Trump's most fervent MAGA minions.
Think we're gonna need more popcorn... π
When it's cold in my winter wonderland, tees are forever friends. They smile all year round, even at -40C/-40F, in the beautiful boreal forest. They make lungs joyful with their refreshing air. Trees and I, together, are sending joy, hope, healing and warmth to the world. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Wo5TCPvgpfY

My old boss told me she used to handle it by throwing things at their head until they shut up and left her office.
Desperately trying to recover my inner calm after an encounter with a mansplainer earlier today.

Just having a quiet moment of terror after seeing clouds, waaaaay down there, below where he's just hanging off the edge.
Space is not for people who have a fear of falling.
And hereβs the link to the SF Standard article discussing the fake COVID doctors that were just exposed. To be clear, the accounts mentioned in this article are newer than the ones I was looking at in 2020, but they share similar characteristics β and when it comes to digital astroturfing, where there are a few, there are usually many.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Gillian Keegan on #Channel4news claims local government pension schemes for teachers is 23.6%.
It isn't, LGPS currently provides between 5.5% and 12.5% of your pensionable pay.
She seems to be making figures up out of thin air.
Either she, with her Β£10,000 Rolex watch, has no real-life experience, or she is just another lifeless ghoul of Conservative exploitation.
Maybe both? π€·ββοΈ
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
