@ScottSoCal @EugeneMcParland His vision and confidence is really amazing. The general themes have really not changed from his inauguration, but considering they're in the middle of a war, it's amazing how quickly they're pushing forwards. There are genuine good faith domestic criticisms of him, but I try to impress upon Ukrainians that he is the best outward-facing representative they could possibly hope for. He is universally beloved minus a small, loud group of extremists.
For those suggesting ways to get my credit score higher, I actually have a score hovering close to 800, run my own successful business, and have zero missed payments in over 30 years on any credit card, car loan, or rent payment.
It's not a matter of building score. It's about hoarding wealth. The generation above me has it, and mine doesn't, and the system is designed to keep it that way.
@ScottSoCal @JustTooOdd and after that, New Orleans.
The internet has ruined me. I read this question and my mind went straight into the gutter, and set up a homestead.
I can't help but feel we're seeing people forged into a nation, right in front of us.
While some of the other nations are fracturing. π

"if I wanna turn off one hob from the highest setting without turning off all hobs I have to plonk my finger down and wait for it to slowly cycle down from 9 to 0"
That's just bad design. Some guy who never cooked anything in his life did that.
Our stove top has touch controls. It's ridiculous. Ah yes, I will touch the glass top of my stove with my fingers while using it, thereby risking injury or at the very least having to put my finger on a greasy stove top. Because when people cook on a stove top, grease splatters out of hot pans all over. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? For the love of god just give me some fucking knobs
You know what knobs are also good for? Going instantly from any setting to any other setting. With this touch interface bullshit if I wanna turn off one hob from the highest setting without turning off all hobs I have to plonk my finger down and wait for it to slowly cycle down from 9 to 0, going through all full and half digits on the way
If this is what a "luxury cooking experience" feels like I don't fucking want it
@ScottSoCal Wait? There's an agenda? And nobody told me. π

Every time I create something new, I want to tell and show it to everyone. Apparently, each piece of jewelry has a piece of my soul, transmits energy.

And in 2015, a movie was made about the riots that pushed aside all those troublesome drag queens and Black people, and put a white boy center stage as the hero, the way gawd intended.

The Stonewall Riots began on today's date, June 28, in 1969. That's why LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated in June.
In 2011, PBS aired an excellent documentary about Stonewall, an uprising that helped expand and transform #LGBTQ activism.
Raw footage of 48 interviews conducted for the documentary are streamable through the website of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. https://americanarchive.org/special_collections/stonewall-uprising-interviews
