Apparently in politics he may actually qualify as a spring chicken. I mean shit, he's been showing up to work and speaking somewhat coherently -- he's already ahead of a number of other high-ranking politicians just based on those criteria.
This is something i think about a lot, though I've had a hard time putting it to words exactly.
We live in a largely fake world. Objects and pictures representing things have increasingly replaced the genuine articles. We are expected to be continually wow'd by images on our screens as though they're as good or engaging as reality. So many stores like Homegoods carry all kinds of items that serve strictly aesthetic value. So much of advertising is convincing the target that the item will improve their lives in extraordinary ways when the reality so often proves itself lesser-than-expected. We even have amounts of money in circulation that can't feasibly exist. The US national debt is an absolutely staggering number -- it's an irrational amount of money/value. Does that much value actually exist in the world? There are so many things that exist in theoretical space but make impact in reality--it feels fake. Don't even get me started on AI/deepfakes etc.
I still don't know if I've gotten my thinking straight on this yet, it's just this nagging thought in the back of my mind i can't seem to shake.
I heard his name a lot recently but only in the past couple days did i read any quotes or get to know who he is at all. Seems like a solid dude so far. I found this to be refreshing:
The former public health director has stuck to a platform centered on affordability at home and an end to foreign entanglements. He said that Islamophobia is a cop-out because his opponents don’t want to debate substantive issues.
“You can’t actually talk about what you want to do?” he said. “My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not taking us to war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford groceries.”
If i force myself to read anything he's said, i make sure i read it in that pre-pubescent voice of his. I can never get past the way it sounds like he's straining to summon enough energy to make sound come out of his mouth. The ideas that couple with that hideous noise just make the situation magnitudes worse
Are there any temp controls for the drawer? Sometimes there are sliders/adjustments for a specific drawer/zone. Otherwise I'd try turning the main control down a bit--might not be a noticeable difference for most of the refrig, while keeping the veggies from freezing.
