I’ll concede the first 2 points, but I’ll argue the 3rd.
Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.
Ok, what moniker would you use for fascists that want to deport/kill minorities and put them into camps? Authoritarians who pander to the common people and tell them about all the socialist policies they plan to enact during the election, then immediately give up the lie and say they are just going to do authoritarian things and start rounding up minorities and persecuting sexual minorities? Fascist works, but it doesn’t really fully encompass what they’re about.
If only there was a shorthand moniker for authoritarians who run on nationalism and socialism together… Like, some kind of National Socialism. Though, these ones are also “Christians”, so they can be the National Christians. We could abbreviate it Nat-C too.

The problem presents when the average goes down.
I’m not appreciably smarter than I was a decade ago, but the average person appears to have been collecting head injuries in that time it would seem.

All those positives on there, and shit like trump is a bad person but a good president. Counter points:
1, can you really be a good president if you’re a bad person?
2, you can’t be a good president when you’re actively trying to subvert the constitution.
3, Nazis can’t be good at much other than spreading hate and pain.

Someone has to pay for it, not necessarily you. You can get all kinds of blood, sometimes even consensually!

Very easily, that’s why you never see things like “use glue to keep the cheese on your pizza” or “Marlon Brando is a human man and will not be in heat because that’s for animals”

ok but this happens to all kinds of americans dialy for no reason
That sounds very much like excusing the violence through normalcy

So then why excuse the violence?

Oh, well I guess rampant violence excuses their bigotry

Cis = cisgender = she was assigned female at birth and is not transgender

You mean aside from attacks on trans people, immigrants, citizens who they suspect are immigrants, starting to make a list of autistic people (probably to put us in camps later), wrecking the economy, taking away entitlements to give to his rich cronies, and emboldening white supremacists and neonazis with his audible nazi dog whistles and general behavior?

Yep, and sometimes you’re just not cut out for the needs of your kid.
That’s unfortunately where I am. I love my kid, but fuck if they don’t want to make me want to run out for a pack of smokes and a gallon of milk some days (jk mostly)

That’s not true, they’re great anti-factual statements. You always know the truth when Moscow speaks, because it’s the opposite of what they say.

Be somewhat honest with the kid. Let him know you love chatting with him, but you’re over sensory (or whatever your particular issue is at the time) at the moment and you can’t give him the attention he deserves right now, but you’d live to hear about it later.
Kids are smarter and notice more than you think. Being honest and open about your issues is healthy for both of you, and helps show the kid it’s ok to not be in the mood to talk to someone and a kind/polite way to disengage.

Was that supposed to be ‘did not meet your expectations’, or was your therapist on something that day? Cuz I have no idea how not being mad at expectations being met means they’re too high.

The only way to be smart about the lottery is to not play.
I don’t disagree, but I also thing playing the lottery once in a while is fine if you’re just doing it as a daydream or something. Back when I worked in an office, if the jackpot got high enough we’d do an office pool and everyone that wanted to would throw in 10 bucks or something. And I’ve also done the same myself for the above reason but I play at most once or so a year.

Even if you’re bad with money, take the lump sum and go get a fiduciary advisor to handle it and give you a regular payout. Being a fiduciary advisor is important since it means they are legally obligated to work to the benefit of your money, not lining their pockets. Using something like a trust is another good way to protect you from yourself.

Damn, that’s a hell of a high effort response, thank you for the info!
I’ll try another SilverBlue install, probably a bluefin variant you mentioned. It definitely sounds like I need to unlearn a lot of the info I’ve picked up over the years, including avoiding flat packs (or was that snap?). Not sure what toolbox is, but I expect I’ll have to look into that in due time.
