He’s now a QAnon nut.

I was just thinking that I hadn’t heard much about Qanon lately, that maybe it had been fading out. No?

Ex presidents get protection as much because they are a security risk as for their own safety.

Underrated comment!!!

A more realistic solution, is to replace planet-murdering cars with planet-kicking cars.

What a sad truth. Maybe we can add “and fewer of them”.

Shifts power source to the grid. Grid can use different sources for energy production.

Such an excellent point, which I hadn’t seen mentioned before. It means we can have more control over those sources. Thank you.

with hand crank windows

I want hand crank windows back anyway. Faster and more reliable. So frustrating when the “auto complete” aspect of modern car windows means I cannot easily get the window half way closed or only a crack open. But I must be in the minority on that.

I’m 70 years old. Of course it’s not the first time. Cute meme though.

These are times when I’m ashamed to be an American.

Of course this is a good thing, but there are still serious negative consequences to a reducing population, which must be mitigated. Primarily, old people who are past working age are an expensive population to maintain. When there are as many or more old people as there are young, the burden is too heavy for young people to bear. And I say this as a 70 year old. Young people today CANNOT hit old age without their own substantial retirement resources.

I want LGBTQ+/Straight people to just shut up about it, and I want everyone to treat them equally and not discriminate against them.

We would if they did. Duh.

401k? I heard about those…

Kind of you thanks :) Actually my health remains solid and I enjoy my work, so it’s not so bad.

Average? I’m not sure. Expected is 65 though. I’m in US, and collecting my meager social security benefits. Recently reduced my work week to 40-45 most weeks

I hope I never reach that - can’t afford to be alive then.

Same. And I’m 69. Got a few good working years left, then…

I have a very hard time doing my own cleaning, especially once I’ve let it get bad. Some kind of mental block I guess. Although I don’t have much disposable income, I’ve found that having someone come in on a regular basis really helps me mentally. I can work at my own job for a couple extra hours to pay for it. Between the paid cleanings I can usually keep up at least for a few weeks.

Have fun with your family this weekend!

Pay someone to do it. It’s well worth the price. You don’t have to be remotely wealthy to do it.

Ahh thank you, I needed a good morning laugh!

just wearing the wrong colored hat or having the wrong skin color

This is very much NOT unique to modern times.

Political news is different from discussions where people take political sides and fall into sparring (at best) or political spin.

Federation as an ethical concept is completely foreign to Meta. Most of their users LIKE what they have: a huge monolithic social media company. If they want to use something federated, they will make the effort to switch. Might be worthwhile to educate some of those users…maybe. But not to take on Meta wholesale. I agree that eventually the whole concept of this federation would become defunct or at best an anomaly.

Maybe it’s more like putting on earplugs?
