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

It is interesting that Mike Johnson thinks of the #NoKings protest as an expression of hate for America (www.politico.com/news/2025/10...)
I cannot think of a more obvious expression for wanting a King to run America...sort of just saying 'I want a King to run America'

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering
Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Civil discussion with a sincere interest in what the other side is concerned about is essential to fully resolving a conflict
Anger, aggression, insults, mockery, and belittlement may win the day, but does not resolve the issue
Understand why you fight and what you hope to achieve before engaging

Does every downtown have a 'haunted' shop with a new business that lasts a year, then vacant for a year, then a new business restarts the cycle?

Given a choice between unhappiness and false happiness, choose the former
Unhappiness has a built-in incentive to conquer, and is more rewarding to overcome
False happiness has no incentive to change, and requires a return to unhappiness to overcome
