And yet here we are, there's an awful lot of things he can't do that he does.

I don't argue with the notion that virtually anything is better than we have now. I'd probably fall somewhere leftish but pretty neutral in the auth/lib scale. Basically to say having central authority enough to get things like big science, public infra, and foundational enforcement to the extent of ensuring people play by the agreed rules, but not the elite group dictation of them we have now. The idea of the self moderating and communal policing commune sounds nice, but unrealistic if you have anyone not following that path in or near the society.

I've had similar with other items in the sense of wait several days, no shipping notice so a week later message to cancel it, then several hours later get a ship notice and reply that 'oh it went out already and you would have to wait to send it back'.

I'm guessing to do with some kind of drop shop inventory nonsense, makes no sense otherwise.

So I went looking for how you might define the term outside of a pre-ordained order of society and found it somewhat comical that the M/W dictionary's first example came from the playbook of the poster child for fascism...

Didn't start mine until mid 30s but after it finally got me out of the 'just another job' ranks and put me into decent career class work. Not a sure thing, but in my case it was a sizable change in my life path.

All would say the same thing there. Look at the auth right we have today and the rhetoric of 'the decadent decay of society and the need to rebuild traditional structures...'

Give him a good seat right in the middle of the route.

Because of course we now do official government comms via a fascist echo chamber app, perfectly normal state of affairs.

Trump rolls d100 and throws a dart at a map to adjust economic policy day whatever-the-hell-it-is...

Pretty sure at least at one point Jaguar was a part of Ford? Whatever, stupid arse trying to kill a fly with a cannon.

Forgot the golden crown that the asked for.

Here I was thinking 'pattes' like a place sick of nonsense from the Irish holiday.
