You just saved me a bunch of typing.

Ditto, and thanks.

There is no left in the USA. The Democratic party doesn’t even want people to have healthcare. This is Trump’s attack on the centre-right.

True. I retract my statement. He should be watching through the slats of a closet door.

Give the cow a strap-on and reverse their positions and i might believe it.

Yawn. Wake me when it’s JD Vance and Mike Johnson. Not a single republican in the USA gives a shit about what 2 key democrats think.

I am this way. People think i’m being negative, but i don’t mean to be. Problems just jump out at me. Luckily, I found a job where this tendency is valuable.

People who write good documentation never know how much they are appreciated.

You are dead right on that point. That is the true failure of almost every democrat in the US: they all want to go back to a shitty status quo. Let’s get rid of Trump AND usher in something better.

While i agree with you up to a point, posts like yours minimize the harm that the current administration is doing. The system was bad and unfair under Biden and his predecessors, but people still had access to trials and lawyers. Police did not hide behind masks. If the government detained you in the United States, they had to acknowledge it. You didn’t just disappear, kidnapped by ice and moved to a black site outside of the country. (It was another story with afghanistan etc.) You can deplore the system that existed before Trump and still acknowledge that Trump is much, much worse.

Oakleys were cool when they were in high school. They stopped updating their worldview when they graduated (or, more likely, dropped out).

Note: I am old and I also wear sunglasses that are probably cringe. I don't wear them in my profile photos, though.

Naw man. I agree with you up to a point, but not all religions are the same. I don't see any Baha'i terrorists out there. Not even all Christian denominations are the same. The whackadoos are attracted to some religions more than others, and some religions foster crazy shit more than others.

That being said, I don't want anything to do with American Evangelical Christianity. From what I've seen, that shit is right up there with the worst of nutjob religions.

I know there are others out there, but I sometimes feel like I am the only person under 50 who loves opera. I have 2 streaming services that I mostly use for watching opera.

I honestly feel like many people would like opera if they gave it a chance. Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen is a cross between Lord of the Rings and The Avengers, but without the 30-min CGI fights (no disrespect to those who like fight scenes, but i get bored). My son and I love Mozart's The Magic Flute; my wife's favourite is Bizet's Carmen.

It has started to make me question my sanity. Every week there is a headline like “Tesla sales collapse in Europe and Asia” or “Huge class action suit filed against Tesla” and the result is always the same: TSLA stock goes up.
