Narcissists like Trump do not care about logic or sides or loyalty. They’re not fully formed people.
They care only about being liked, yet they can’t tell if someone genuinely likes them or they just pretend to; it’s also not important as they wouldn’t be able to comprehend the difference.

@pre@boing.worldVarnished the shelves. At least until I ran out of varnish anyway. Stained the first half of the bed. The stain takes ages to dry. Will have to flip and stain the other half tomorrow. Varnish on Tuesday if more has arrived. That dries much faster, might even get two coats on both sides during one day. Then I can have a bed on Wednesday?
At which point I will know the maximum height for a mattress. The bed is pretty low because to determine the height of the doors for storage at the end of the bed, I measured my old bed. Which was apparently lower than most, being a waterbed frame with a spring mattress in it.
So total bed height has to be under 50cm and a mattress can take 30 or more of that. But with this low bed I might even have room for a topper.
