Liked pretty much all of them, UP may have been their best by some standards.
Have you been feeling angrier than usual lately?

Another good one!

Baby, you're my winterblue
At work, a lot of people seem to be more scared or apprehensive than usual, but angrier? More frustrated? Nope.

Consider folks being addicted to a source successfully sued with documented admissions of guilt from the staff for a 3/4 billion bux settlement for aggressively promoting repeated lies to rile and pander a specific pool of viewers with disinformation as their stock in trade.
And it changes, nothing.
Then, there's that someone.
Who gets a thrill or doesn't even know he gets under your skin? The guy who wedges his expertise into every conversation at work --- even sports, which he has no idea what he is talking about and has to use Google before squeezing his way into the group.
There could be 5 ppl having a great conversation. He comes into the room and everyone disperses immediately.
The contrarian.
He: "What is the best way to enter this into the computer?"
You: "I like to do it this way."
He: "Oh no! You can't do it that way! I like to do it this way or that!"
You: "Well then, why did you ask? Just do it your way."
He: "But I like your way, even though it's wrong."
These types want to go to a karaoke bar with you after work—the guy you've been arguing with for 10 hours straight.
UGH!!! Those types leave an everlasting emotional scar.

I am normally a tolerant and patient person, with an inherent ability to see the other sides point of view, however my anger levels regarding a certain subject have been high for around eight months and are entirely political, I can/shall say no more than that.
One advantage of being old you go to the customer service desk and the young girl behind the counter throws money at you and says please don’t yell at me ! Even the your not really that upset ! I guess it’s a perk Lol !
It's like she sees the unbridled curmudgeon when spotting older customers. The senior citizen Karen.
I can understand Karen’s scare the heck out of me too !It's like she sees the unbridled curmudgeon when spotting older customers. The senior citizen Karen.
Imagine being stuck in an airplane with one. You may never fly again.

Over the last few years I've witnessed stomach turning stuff that has challenged my entire outlook. I'm not unique or even unusual in this. It's not surprising if it affects the way people act.
Fueled by TikTok and Twitter (X).

Ho boy, you've opened "Pandor's Box" relating to anger in these times.
As individuals, our anger can come from various causes and to different degrees of this reaction.
I thought of listing some of the most relevant specifics... but it would more than fill a page.
So, just pondered on some major evocations that you can fill in the empty blanks.
Gov't priorities/accomplishments
Politicians
Rising cost of living
World dissention
3rd World- problems
1st World- haves and have nots
Old age
Family discord
Pollution
Diverse religions
Technology impacts
Media control
Weather
Over population
The stimuli for anger are there, but which ones can you personally deal with, and how to do so?
