Back to Swedish Death Cleaning.

I’m such a sook. I’m crying every episode. Ugh.

Okay, TV off, getting back outside for a bit.

TIL I am an authoritarian. 😂 I took a shitty little poorly written political quiz and came out opposite of every other quiz I've ever taken

It lacks nuance. For example. There was a question on illegal immigration and should illegal immigrants be investigated etc.

I am all for hunting down modern slave traders who kidnap people who want to immigrate or are seeking asylum and helping those victims. Those victims are also illegal immigrants but they have rights too . That's not the same as harassing all Mexicans who cross the border.

Drugs? Of course drugs should be regulated. I don't want 5 yr old kids to be able to buy poisons at the local corner shop.

Decriminalising recreational drug use? yes. ( but I came out as being authoritarian)

It bothers me how media is on purpose showing issues in a non nuanced way. I suppose they get more clicks that way and get more fascist votes

I think the oven is on its way out.
Fortunately I still have the toaster oven if the worst comes to the worst. And I could always get an air fryer.
