Introversion

Duh.

On iOS, I use and love Paprika.

Some accounts there have recently encouraged traders to keep investing in a fight they said was about “good vs evil” — a way to defend Trump from the liberal elites laughing at him and, by extension, them. The user @BaldylocksUSMC said “the fight has been long and hard on most of us” and that “this stock is not for the weak,” but that one day they would triumph over critics who were “brainwashed beyond repair.”

Ol’ BaldylocksUSMC is such a strong man! Invest more, Baldy! Sell the house, invest the proceeds in DJT! Own me, baby! —The Libs

Why? To make workers fearful. Fearful people are less likely to protest or unionize.

Well, duh.

Anyone who tried to take my kids would get shot. Fuck you, GOP monsters.

There’s lots of downtime as well and sometimes my biggest trouble is how not to die of boredom listening to my coworkers’ boring stories because they feel offended if I don’t sit with them.

In the grand scheme of things, that seems pretty minor to me, but then it’s not me asking. 😅

Do you feel like the job is preparing you for a better job? I’d concentrate on that — whatever training, certifcates, etc you can add to your resume — while you look for something that seems better. But I’ll point out that unless you know people at those jobs, whose opinions you trust, there’s really no way to know in advance whether you and future co-workers will be a better fit.

Sauron needs only this Kumquat to cover all the lands in a second darkness. He is seeking it - seeking it, all his thought is bent on it…

Well, points for being transparent, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

“In high demand”, “pays well”, “is legal”, and “doesn’t require lengthy training and/or edcucation” are usually not a combination that exists.

I’m not suggesting people get complacent. We gotta vote like our democracy depends on preventing another Trump term, because it does.

And gloom & doom about how Trump is polling or Biden is polling, a year in advance of the election, can make people give up and not vote.

Just pointing out that polls aren’t very reliable. “Red Wave 2022” back in 2021, remember?

I doubt it. Polls conducted this early aren’t worth much. People who tend to vote for Democrats may wish for a younger candidate than Biden, but when confronted in the voting booth with a choice of fascism or Biden, most will choose Biden.
