    I didn't think it could get worse than 2016 - Trump Clinton. That year I voted Libertarian because it seemed the only sane choice. I thought we'd hit bottom. But we haven't yet. The Ohio choices this year are abysmal.

    That explains the writing I have encountered that makes me wonder who told a high schooler they could write?

    The phase out is inevitable given more modern alternatives; the logic is similar to the demise of long wave radio. Mobile phones' connectivity coverage now works well nearly everywhere (at least in our tiny country). People prefer them because they can carry them everywhere, internationally. They now support video, and are a multifunctional computer camera calculator. We have a copper phone landline which was used until recently for the Internet, though like many, we've had installed a fast full-fibre cable. And probably like many households, as we decorate, we remove the old phone sockets.

    "Narcissus can't recognize what he's seeing isn't someone else." Right. He didn't know it was himself. The psychological relationship between the mythological character and narcissists IRL is parallel.

    I have nothing nice to say but I don't care. This situation is putrid.

    And I'd have to change all the furniture, which irks when you're handing over 55 million. That's like 13million per bedroom.

    Well, yes, IMO. This is clear as day to me. YMMV. And, well, here's a thought experiment- if you want, please make a list for yourself of the states which order assassinations on US soil. Again, this is food for thought. I have a name for the war if it starts or if it has already begun- WWW III! Daniel, You win the Internet today! Yes, like Napoleon, I am snatching the crown ( * snort * ) from the Pope and placing it on my own head.

    A friend who has lived in the Rockies for 30+ years saw the Swiss alps recently. He was gobsmacked. He did not expect the steepness and ruggedness.

    So you have no ownership and you're subsidizing someone else's farm. If that's what's happening.
