Stay at home wife. I used to work as a bookkeeper, now dealing with some health issues. However I am 55 and have used computers since as long as i can remember, I learned how to use punch cards in what you yanks would call middle school. So I don’t work in tech, but it doesn’t bother me to learn new things. Lemmy reminds me of the good old days of BBS and just trying things out to see what stuck.

Meh. Only one party wants to take away my rights or stop my friends from getting married because they’re both women, make birth control illegal, kill people for performing in drag and let 12 year olds get married. . Your idea of “just as bad” is a little strange.

I still wear one in crowds. I had a lobe of a lung removed due to a rare cancer. I’ll never be cured, but will slowly loose lung function as airways are blocked. If I’m lucky it’s a disease I die with and not of, so I am treating my lungs like the delicate little flowers they are and fighting to avoid any and all respiratory diseases I can. I am now also queen of the hand sanitiser when out in public. The stuff from Bath and Bodyworks is da bomb, smells like hand cream.

Well this bodes well for Threads.

Only one generation got to do that though. The post war generation with strong unions. Before that, but like now, unless you were rich, every damn person in the family worked, including the kids and if you were lucky by the end of your 70 hour work week you had enough to pay the rent and feed everyone.

Pulp fiction.

Also Allianz, Audi, BASF, Bayer, Zeiss, Siemens oh and Hugo Boss just to name a few. Were directly involved with Nazis using forced labor among other things. Oh and lets not forget Ford in the USA. Produced vehicles for the Nazis, and openly supported them. Lots of companies still around today got a lovely big kick start because of the Nazis.

As I said in my comment, I get that point, it’s not hard to get. I was merely pointing out saying that a submarine can’t sink, means the submarine is a boat not a submarine. And the sub full of millionaires sunk a little too well.

OK I get the point, but the point of submarines is that they are sink, but it is also that they can unsink on demand. Otherwise they’d just be boats. It’s like assless chaps, all chaps are assless otherwise they’d be pants.
