so there i am, trying to do my bit for not shopping at amzn. ordered new gear cassettes for my rebuilt road bike from someone on e-bay. brand new, so likely a store of some sort rather than an individual. but hey, not the evil empire, right?
they arrived today. the ebay seller just added about a 30% markup, ordered it from amzn and had it shipped to me.

When I meet people, I tend to ask about hobbies rather than jobs. A person's job, in the modern world, will usually tell you fuck all about that person. Their hobbies, though? That's who they are. That's where they spend time being themselves.

Um, I'd say, "YES!" Even here in #Maine I'm noticing way more #RoadRage than there used to be. Last year, when a jerk in a truck hit my car, he threatened both myself and the witness -- even though he was at fault. There is definitely something wrong with people (and it seems to be mostly men from my own observations).
The Rage Epidemic: Is Our #ModernWorld Fueling #Aggression?
After a video of a man screaming road-rage abuse through a car window went viral, we ask what’s behind the fury so many feel.
Andrew Anthony, May 2024
"Aaron Balick, a psychotherapist and author of The Psychodynamics of Social Networking, believes that new technologies have ushered in an era in which 'there are more ways to express anger' and there is less shame attached to its expression. He also attributes this cultural shift to politicians such as Donald Trump who have 'normalised' anger.
"According to the Gallup Global Emotions Report, anger around the world has been rising since 2016, with 23% of respondents now feeling angry on any given day – figures are understandably much higher in war zones.
"In the #UK shop workers and service staff have reported sharp rises in customer abuse in recent years, and one study showed criminal violence in GP surgeries had doubled in five years (this was back when it was possible to get an appointment in a GP surgery). Reported road-rage incidents also increased by 40 per cent from 2021 to 2022 (although lockdowns would have played a part).
"Anger, aggression, abuse and criminal violence are, of course, all different things. There is also a psychiatric classification of 'intermittent explosive disorder'.
"Psychologists draw a distinction between anger (an emotion) and #aggression (a behaviour). [...] 'Anger is a natural emotion that arises involuntarily,' says Balick. In basic psychological terms anger is a means of alerting another that a boundary has been crossed. 'Obviously you can also be angry on false premises,' adds Balick.
"'Saying how you feel is anger,' says Michael Fisher, founding director of the British Association of Anger Management. 'It becomes aggressive when you start to scream and shout abuse.'"
