You are not.
The only exception, when I actually appreciate having a huge selection in front of me, is when I buy wine. (But I still end up buying the same thing – most of the time.)

Southernmost Sweden, closer to Germany and Denmark, geographically and culturally, than to the national capital.
Possibly somewhat comparable to Maine?
Typically, I take a peek at someone's posting history, if/when I find some interesting thoughts, and feel a need for context.

The European view is that Ukraine should not give up areas of its own country to appease Putin. The Baltic States & Finland are also, in Putin’s warped view, part of Russia. The Europeans could not allow them to be at risk from the fascist regime in Moscow by doing this.

The video, as I saw it (just once) in the autumn of 1983.
Luckily, I was alone in front of the TV, as at 4:40 I burst into tears. Uncontrollably. I still do, even though the emotions have dulled over the years.

Still, two positive moments did emerge in Anchorage. First, Rachel Scott, ABC’s Senior Political Correspondent, asked the pointed question: “Mr Putin, will you commit to not killing any more civilians?” 2/5

Second, the streets of Anchorage turned blue and yellow, thanks to the people who stood in solidarity. Thank you, good people of America!

No one in their right mind expected anything good was going to come out of this meeting, and, also Putin probably told Trump that he doesn’t want Zelenskyy to be at the meeting and Trump obliged.

Compare the 2 meetings ..... Trump literally giving Putin the red carpet - almost state visit treatment - and Zelenskyy set up and humiliated on the world stage by Trump and his fellow goons . Just grim
