Yeah, so someone's "personal problems", well...

But this is some pretty powerful *pro forma* language, at least around here:

"The United States has a regulatory framework for public employment."

In particular, it is strongly suggested that efforts to "drive regulations away"
through play-acting in person be regarded as generally less effective than
they are today thought. #butwillitstillbetruetomorrow

Additionally, They Don't Tell You That...

The normal penalties for public infractions actually are "massaged" way, way
less than people would think; if you think "cutting up" with someone is just
going to be de rigueur, don't you remember when the same choice cost you...

Yeah, you do remember that. So.

Yeah, that was... not good.

"Hey, buddy. Why would you even think that someone was 'less of an American' than you because..."
It seemed to be a thing for you? The basic point is solid, though.

Everybody looking forward to Christmas, then?
"They're not."
Did you ask all of them, etc?

"Not everybody is looking forward to Christmas."
I suppose that could be "generally expected", yes.

Now they're really not!
"Why is that?"
It's Dec. 26th.

"No it's not! It's December 28th."
Oh, you see what my way of thinking amounts to.

"Are we supposed to worry about the time of the day, too?"
No. Are you following someone around or something?

In 2023? Unlikely a "merman" I should turn to be. Also: can you "realists" cope with a single goddamn fact at all?

Update: On the other hand, that sort of IP/ID theft has been ubiquitous in the Portland area since the 1990s.
