Cheers. Got me recalling early e-cigarettes in the 90s and my own first steam punk brass mod.

Oddly, my YouTube wanted to recommend the dangers of IKEA:

Finished painting all the shutters today. It looks really good.

Now the wife wants to paint the rest of the house because the shutters make it look bad.

I can’t win.

I think having mine stuck in China is a blessing I don’t acknowledge enough. Though have to send packages monthly.

No doubt…I have lots of suspicions of her intentions.

A dangerous game to question your misses. Though not an armoury of dialects.

Sad, but true. I really do worry about folks returning to smoking cigarettes as it gets harder to get good gear and good juice. Or turn to Juul, in which Altria (old Phillip Morris) has 35% ownership and big tobacco wins again.

Actually the transwhatever is quite a thing nowadays even in our small redneck town. All the rage in the Jr high to be transsomething.

All I can say is: “you do you”.
Me, I wanna be a transformer.

It gets confusing in an amusing way. Get so tickled listening to the woefully confused parents. One friend was mourning the simpler time when her oldest child was skipping school when he had a literature test.

I was at England vs Germany yesterday, it made me happy. Not just the actual match but being there, involved in an event, the people, the singing, it was so much fun. Maybe it will be England Belgium in the final, Italy is tough!

This seems like a plant to take a knock at the “woke community” as it’s referred. But the bottom line is there is nothing that says you have to be born in a country to be identified as from that country.

Ethnicity can’t be assumed, which is one reason Jewish is not an ethnicity, but nationality sure can.

Either way, in about ten years the amount of lawsuits we see that are similar to the current trans person suing the nhs for giving in and allowing gender transformation below the age of consent is going to be sky high. Meanwhile, why they aren’t suing their parents is beyond me, the people who signed off on it to begin within

As for the non binary thing. I don’t really care. I guess that’s my issue with all of it.

When I watch an episode of Star Trek Discovery, which is happening at least 1000 years from now, and they shoe horn a conversation about a preference of pronoun….it just makes me wonder - if it’s that long and this request has to be made, if it was never accepted in that length of time … why? Seems pretty unlikely and while we are accepting all kinds of science fiction, this is a today agenda that isn’t just displayed for practical purposes but there’s a conversation? A whole lot of people don’t care now one way or the other.

If you want to go by they or them, but literally never hear someone call you him or her, what difference does it make.

I guess I’m probably too old to count in this conversation but the whole thing just smacks of people who want to be unique while belonging to a group, which is a weird mindset to me. I just find it odd and could not give less of a shit, for or against, aside from the scientific acknowledgements of sex vs gender and retaining birth sex not gender identity for competition purposes.

My grandma made my day today. She called me early in the morning and said she is going on a date. Obviously there are some over 60 dating sites and my lovely granny is registered on some of them. She asked me to come to her house and help her getting ready. She also needed some advices from me as it was her first date in ages. The way she was telling me all that was super cute and it made me smile the whole day)))
