Love tech, the outdoors, and honesty...but maybe that's redundant
#PayAttention to the level of vigor someone puts into their 'I am innocent' statements
I think it is pretty typical for people to put a lot of energy into preventing getting caught
Truth is easy to defend...lies are not

I wonder why we don't go after drug users to stop the drug trade...Supply and Demand, right. Stop demand and there won't be a supply try to stop
We could help drug users & even understand why they use. Rebuild communities ravaged by rampant drug use
Oh, wait...blowing shit up plays better to some

#PayAttention to how you leave things. Consider what others might have to cleanup or undo from your presence
Push in chairs
Put down the point seat
Take that cart to the cart corral
Make the world a better place by starting small...and building on the feeling of 'doing good things'

So #Frontier was acquired by @verizonofficial.bsky.social this month. And my home internet cost went up $15 instantly
Thanks for the reminder why I don't use #Verizon whenever possible
Time to start shopping around again

#PayAttention to what someone claims someone else is doing. It is a bit of a 'tell' on what the claimer does or has considered doing themselves

After writing markdown docs in VS Code for years I was tasked to write an installation guide in MS Word
I absolutely hate it
Markdown makes is easy to make a table or add line numbers
I love working in markdown for the same reason I love shopping at Trader Joe's...simple and easy

I have seen several examples where a single team member disrupts the team trust/energy. I think the rest of the team is weakened by leadership allowing bad members to be bad
Trust is interesting because it’s not quantifiable but it certainly is palpable. Teams with trust move lightning speeds faster than those without.

What I find interesting about this post and responses is how much non-MAGA folks react and respond like MAGA folks in the same, but reversed situation
Each side differs on what they react to, but pretty much reacts with the same anger and hate, and without much in the way of facts

It is quite confounding to see yet another iteration of 'it will work this time' regarding geopolitical intervention
Maybe I'm giving too much credit to the current folks that they know the history of regime-change failures
Mission Accomplished Much?

It comforts me to identify a possible motive to their behavior when I realize I don't trust someone
Even if I think they are bad or careless or selfish or even evil, I can understand their actions a little better if I see a possible reason
For #Trump, I got nuthin'. And that is what scares me

I worry that, hole up in our echo chambers, we are losing the skills to take in negative feedback and better ourselves
I expect it makes stepping outside our in-group even harder... scarier

Working with my older family members, this kinda shit leads to mistaken installs...and I guess #Google doesn't care
My only solace is that when I don't accidentally click on the sponsored app, that company paid Google and got nothing from me...I hope

I don't care for UI Hyperbole I encounter, like 'Thanks'. There is nothing feeling any appreciation for me not logging in. And, in fact, I suspect Google would prefer I do sign in
Maybe a No, and Sign In, Thanks would be closer to reality
