For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

So many people on the Left ignore basic nuts and bolts politics and waste time, energy and votes on Utopian nonsense that most voters have never heard of.

Then, when someone like AOC comes along and actually makes effective changes in the Democratic Party, these Left folk attack her for not setting herself on fire.

Maybe I'm Ootl but I've never seen non-bot leftists attacking her.

I mean I may be wrong, I try not to live terminally online but you'd think I'd see that by now if it is so prevalent.
