       @futurebird there's also second breakfast, lunch, teatime, dinner and supper. So, not a bed&breakfast but full board.

       @futurebird I have a pretty solid education, but I find that I still can be tricked. The tricksters refine their methods as their full-time job, I have other work than analysing their trickery. So I'm just harder to trick, but not immune.

       @aral ok, so how do you say "so your polity will have elections and you care a lot, and one or two other persons on our lists may, too, but the rest of us don't live there and don't care, put a sock in about how great 'your' politician is, this is not your canvassing venue"?Just because the US right have weaponized the words "politics" to mean "everything of any societal impact" and "polite" to mean "I can harass anybody not white+male" we can't use them any more? Which can we use instead?

       @aral sorry, bear with me. I'm not steeped in US usage. How do I express the one without implying the other?I want to express e.g. "I think trans/racist/gender slurs are nasty and I don't want to see them, ever" without writing a sermon and without inviting rules lawyering of the "but you didn't list this kind of nastiness"."Be polite to everybody" used to be a short expected behaviour description. It's not meant to say "you can't complain about being treated unfairly". So how?

       @aral sorry, me again. I'm plenty privileged but politics is still a matter of survival since the overheating of the planet will come for everyone.

       @futurebird if you can get tuna powder: a pinch of that might make her love her healthy food.

       @futurebird @Nazani @jmccyoung @jcrabapple @tayfonay so if one has a termite infestation, getting carpenter ants would help?

       @futurebird $270? that's robbery. I get tax software for German income taxes for less than €30, and no-one ever accused the German tax system of being simple and straightforward.
