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.

Because his supporters are also raving lunatics. Of the "should be restrained and medicated" variety.
@randahl When a US businessman says that falsifying business records is no big deal itβs probably a good idea to look very closely at his own business records.
And about that "motivated by politics, rather than justice".
Hunter Biden would like a word. It speaks to Joe Biden's integrity that he hasn't called it out for what it is.
And what do you mean by "anxiety"? Are you talking about the sharp, immediate "OMG, I screwed up" kind? Or the more formless, general "No matter how good things are now, something will go wrong, sometime and it will probably be my fault"?
I need specifics.
Friends: Who are you listening to right now?
Me, very hip: Oh, you wouldn't know them.
"Over the past few weeks, Ukraine came to us and asked for the authorization to use weapons that we're providing to defend against this aggression, including against Russian forces that are massing on the Russian side of the border and then attacking into Ukraine," says US Secretary of State Blinken in Prague. "That went right to the president and, as you've heard, he's approved the use of our weapons for that purpose."
I like presidents who aren't felons
President Biden recently gave the commencement address at West Point. His address was streamed and published.
What was not seen was that President Biden after giving his speech and shaking hands with the top 25 graduates on stage went backstage and beyond the reach of cameras, the media and video and greeted and shook hands with every one of the graduating class of West Point.

@Ilovechai@sciences.social
Yup, me too. But it has to be a song I know well, because if I can't remember the words that's just more frustration on top of what I'm already feeling.
@BootsChantilly @ScottSoCal GDI you guys beat me to the punch!
@ScottSoCal Right? A free "going over" from Mommie Dearest! π³
That "imagine YOU in the hands of Joan Crawford" can be a little sinister if you imagine her with a wire hanger.
Statistics Denmark recently published a graph which shows, what consumers have felt for a long time: Wages rise, but the real income is falling.
In 2022, consumer prices rose so much, Danes got 5.1 percent poorer, and even though some wholesale prices started to fall in 2023, price hikes still consumed all wage increases in 2023, leading to a real income rise of 0 percent.
I wonder if larger countries are doing better because of stronger retail competition.

No, not in the USA. Most people I know are calling it "greedflation". Wholesale costs are stable or down, retail costs are way up, corporate profits are breaking records.
I was taught that, but my views have evolved.
Gilbert and Sullivan were always ahead of their time.
