It’s fascinating seeing notifications for boosts here, where something you wrote a year or two ago will suddenly be found by someone, who boosts it, and then a little flurry of other people do.
It really makes you realise how much recency bias there is in most other systems, including most web forum software. Sometimes that’s useful (I don’t want obsolete solutions to be highlighted in preference to the ones that actually work), but it also makes writing there seem ephemeral. Here, a conversation can start up after two years of silence when someone comes up with something new to contribute. And that’s incredible.
@dalias Ok so it WASNT just LinkedIn! I just had a popup logging me out of my account to use Persona which I won’t do.
It’s age verification bs yes?
Ironically, the people who call others "snowflakes" for supposedly not being tough enough to handle "the real world" are usually people who can't stand to even briefly contemplate unpleasant realities & who banish all uncomfortable thoughts from their own minds the moment they arise. You know, like tough people do.
It's so strong & badass to run away from the bad thoughts like a terrified child.
POLITICS
If your politics is based on governments, votes and rights you need to think harder.
These are the things which keep us all subservient. They are the things rich men can buy. And habitually do.
It is a basically dumb move to give absolute power of violence to some men that they can then deploy against the mass of others.
A new day. A new chance to succeed.
Workman coming shortly to assess some tree pruning I can't do myself. Lacking the skills, knowledge, and tools necessary to do the work, I rely on those who do.
It's something I need to do more often these days. I've let my strength and stamina flag as I've gotten old.
There's no shame in asking for (or hiring) the help you need. I'm just lucky I can.
A lesson I'm coming to appreciate more in my dotage.
May you appreciate your advantages #today
I've taken over mowing some areas of the neighbor's lawns as well, in particular the steep inclines (35-45 deg) that are tricky on a riding mower.
I had to play with the cut direction and deck height to stop it from "bottoming out" and bumping against the ground when at the bottom of an incline, but that was all I had to do.
It's a champ up and down the ditch.
