成人の3割て凄いな…
米国、世界の中でもかなり特殊な、狂信的な宗教国家、でもあるのだな、と改めて

💬
　カーク氏は大統領選直前の24年10月、トランプ氏の集会を開催。招かれたアン氏らはトランプ氏に手をかざして祈りを捧げた。ホワイト氏は第2次トランプ政権でホワイトハウスの「信仰局上級顧問」に就き、トランプ氏に直接助言する力を得た。25年5月にはホワイトハウスでトランプ氏を交えた祈りのイベントを開き、アン氏もそこに同席した。

　キリスト教国家主義は、こうした一部の人たちの枠を超えて広がっている。米公共宗教研究所の25年の調査によると、成人の11%がキリスト教国家主義の「信奉者」、21%が「共感者」だ。

　NARの緩やかなネットワークに連なる信徒は、この「信奉者」の中核にいる。トランプ氏の支持率は政権発足後、最低水準にあるが「信奉者」の支持が揺らぐことはない。トランプ支持者のうち比較的穏健な支持層が離れていくことになれば、むしろ先鋭な「信奉者」の影響力が一層高まっていく可能性もある。

My local credit union got a new app, which required me to 're-enroll,' which required: a new username, a new password, my Social Security number, and two 'one-time passwords' to my phone.

I'm sure it's all fine. This digital world we live in is SO EFFICIENT.

it will also be nice to not use some product that has a dumb masculine stereotype on their label. the number of "viking" or "lumberjack" or wtfever branded beard balms, good grief.

it's just skincare, fellas. it's not a threat to your masculinity to care about your skin.

The irony.

apathetic-ish about fragrance on me, that is. I *love* fragrance on a romantic partner but I've never really had one that expressed strong opinions about any scents of my own. I think one woman who really liked the smell of the (pretty common) soap I use and that's it?

I bought an app. It was 30€. It works well. This would have been enough a justification 20 years ago.

It‘s got no ads.

It doesn‘t bug me into registering an account (there‘s not even an option for it).

It doesn‘t need a cloud account.

It‘s not collecting my data.

It‘s hasn‘t got AI.

2026 that are 30€ well spent.

I threw in some cedarwood oil with my order as well. I'm apathetic-ish about fragrance, but woody smells are a cliché for a reason and I do like just a hint of that.
