   Neither is realistic. But, given cartoon exaggeration, the one with the food tray seems reasonable for the fat one. The other one ought to have the two wheels lined up front to back, since Biden really does ride a bike… some.

   Spouse is fond of having a pile of pillows that must be moved off before the bed can be used for its designed purposes. I complained… nothing. I COMPLAINED… nothing. I took half of them off and hid them… ARMAGEDDON. We finally discussed it and concluded that she could have all the pillows she wanted, but they had to be OFF THE BED before I wanted to use it. And that worked for a few years until she became disillusioned with me about snoring and sharp toenails. She now has her own bed and… it’s covered with pillows. I now have my own bed and… it’s got one pillow on it that I actually use.

   … [Catholics have a dichotomy:] Those that concentrate on the “thou shalt nots” and those that concentrate on peace and social justice.

   In the military, rules can be interpreted two ways: “Everything that’s not forbidden is allowed.” and “Everything that’s not allowed is forbidden.” (and in North Korea, I found at duckduckgo, everything that’s not forbidden is mandatory!  ) I think you’ve discovered the same two mindsets in Catholicism. Certainly I’ve also discovered those two attitudes pretty much every time I come up against a bureaucracy… and, alas, the proportion is AT LEAST 20 to 1 in favor of forbidding in case of uncertainty.

   It still has the title. But they’ve given up on doing the job.

   Protectionism is a realistic tactic to protect local businesses when a foreign GOVERNMENT is involved in artificially lowering prices for apparently comparable import (to us) goods. Not ideal, but realistic.

   The “serving size” on some foods is laughable. Sometimes waaay small so they can claim you don’t get too much salt or sugar per serving. And sometimes really huge so they can claim you get whole GRAMS of protein. (Yep, they seem to depend on the idea that “seven GRAMS” of protein must sound like a lot (that’s a quarter of an ounce, btw).

   Forced perspective?

    Well that took an unexpected turn. I wonder if she’ll do better after those three hours.
