I am a Sculptor

 Holy Crap! I just realized that Friday is my Friday, though rather than ending my work week it is ending my 4 days off.  Tomorrow I'm going to be back in the store.  Bloomberg had an interesting pieces of retail and violence, and how it's a growing problem.  They come with a number of reasons, but the real problem, which is not customers but the retailers themselves.  It boils down to this:  Retailers are far more concerned about Sales than they are their employees and rather than loose a potential future sale, they unruly customers get away with bad behavior.  We are given training on how to deal with these people which works well on a scripted video, but real life is totally different. especially when customers have been taught that in the end we're going to give them what they want.

We had storms yesterday afternoon and evening, mostly wind, with thunder and light FX thrown in for good measure, but little in the way of rain.  The temps dropped.  Today our high is barely supposed to touch the 90 (F) mark.

As expected, Starfield arrived yesterday.  At first, I couldn't get it to install on my Series X because the console tried to update the game before it was even installed.  That was soon remedied and installation ran smoothly.  Usually during the character creation stage I end up bald, but this time I took an alternative route.  I went Ginger.  I'm going to call this my Max Sullivan look because Max is a ginger with a goatee.  I'm also going to be playing as a Sculptor, who happens to be an extroverted empath with just a dash of alien DNA to make me interesting.

I find it fascinating that the GOP is... well, trying to figure out what to do with their Pro-Life agenda.  For decades they told themselves, and convinced themselves that being anti-abortion was a winning ticket, but now it causes them to lose elections.  Voters are telling them to stay out of their lives.  Just what are they to do?  Their war on culture satisfies their base and no one else.  The truth is that most people don't mind being aware.  They don't see drag queens as an evil plight upon the land the same way social conservatives do.  A large majority of Americans don't see gay people as a threat, the Gen Z group especially, most of whom simply don't have an issue with gender.  Conservatives are anti-vax.  I've said it before, I have no problem with them dying because they refused to get a shot.  The truth is that Conservatives have by tying their own noose for decades without understanding how out of touch they were with America, and now they're panicking because the floor is beginning to drop our from under their tiny little feet.
