I named my Patreon "The Very Unfunny Leftist" because that's generally the gist of what my delightful critics call me online and it always makes me laugh. "Diet Coke Kathy Griffin" would probably have gotten me in trouble with the law.

The other thing I've noticed is that when drivers do actually stop, they stop ON the crosswalk, rather than behind it, or behind the big thick white line if there is one.

Sometime in the last 5 years or so, though, I remember getting honked at for coming to a full and complete stop.

Now, if I do it, people assume I'm being nice and letting them go first, the opposite of what's supposed to happen.

It feels like not that long ago that I could count on people fully and completely stopping at 4 way stops. That's how we decided who had right of way. You can see the other cars lurch back a bit, and who ever did that first had right of way (assuming we didn't have to use 'tie breakers').

Sadness.

I depend(ed) on this feature a lot for managing my PDF files.

Oh, hold on.

This might have something to do with my Downloads folder now being under OneDrive.

People often complain about the government and blame it on inefficiency.

But after thinking for the last 9 months about my post, and the Bluesky post that inspired it, I think the problem they have is that they wanted efficiency and got it good and hard.
