an older fixture like that…My home was built in the late 90’s.

Somehow I don’t think you meant 1890’s. As someone born in 1954, it’s really hard to realize that things which were built long after I became an adult are, nonetheless, now considered “older”. sigh

To me, a downvote on a posted article suggests it doesn’t belong where it was posted, or the article is itself bogus, something along those lines. But (again, in my opinion) comments are fair game for downvotes if you disagree, and I will also do so if I disagree vehemently. But if you don’t want to actually add something to the discussion, no vote is really needed. Maybe you ultimately disagree with a post or comment, but it gave you something to think about? If so, the comment contributed positively to the discussion.

Sadly, yes.

I have an extra left wing sister in law. Around here she would likely be called a tankie. She regularly posts memes about how awful war is and how everyone should refuse to go and then there would be no war. She especially makes those posts when Ukraine goes on the offence (even in its own country). Oddly though, she NEVER makes those posts in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Exactly. Often the title is longer than the text of the post, and may even just say “title”.

What a great question!!

A real title, one that you would typically capitalize the first letter of each word, does not have to be a sentence and often isn’t. But many “titles” on forums like this are really sentences which capture the whole essence of what’s being asked or stated, like your “title” does. As I browsed my “front page” (for lack of a better term) just now, indeed I found that titles followed that rule.

The day is yet young.

Sounds like a great stop gap measure to benefit humans. My concern will be that, once WE are no longer drinking microplastics, we’ll forget that everyone else is. But meanwhile, Brita? How soon can you add this to your filters?

the suggestion that being angry about the harm done to me is a flaw on my part that needs fixing…

If the day ever comes when you would prefer not being angry about the past, when you would prefer to embrace joy on a daily basis, then and only then would therapy be worthwhile. As long as you’re not lashing out at others with your anger, then only you, alone, are being hurt by your anger.

SUPER DUPER MONDAY!!!

Nothing prosecutors or anyone else could ever do to stop him from that type of talk. The reason we all recognize your phrasing as something he would say is because it is exactly like everything he ever says.

Let the trials go on. America is lost as a democracy if we don’t convict the first insurrection by a president we’ve ever had.

I clicked before I realized it was a link to twitter…er…X.

Don’t you use X when you want to cross something out?

It should be noted that, in the US at least, your library card will often give you online access to many publications.

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…

Even worse, Google seems to think they fixed it in 2018. Google ‘fixed’ its racist algorithm by removing gorillas from its image-labeling tech
