Ya that’s why I joined. These guys are serious. A lot to learn here.
@FailForward ha! This is the perfect level of vulnerability and comedy the rest of the internet should aspire to attain. I also appreciate the dash of informative nuance. Following!

The quote in itself is a standalone reminder of presence of friction in writing. Any writing.
The linked story is also interesting, but this quote just jumped out of the text as I was reading it. Probably (am I just being apologetic?) because I tend to (BS! I do it all the time and with passion (whatever that means)) overuse(!) parentheses (and other fancy characters on my keyboard) and such (but I do not do it on purpose - well, it just feels right (sometimes, obviously)).
We are more likely to tolerate a poor, undesirable situation then we are take up the rigors of educating ourselves, working or applying ourselves to a cause of an unknown outcome. The human mind evolved to survive by caloric preservation and risk mitigation. Learning is hard. Change and the unknown is scary.
This is why “government should not be changed for light or transient causes.” Yet, we pass more bills a year than laws repealed in decades. This leads to over governance of the governed.

@Untersuchende @leviathan @se7en
I appreciate you being open to feedback. Getting people to change is the hardest challenge humanity faces. Even if it’s using a liberty focused app. Ha!
@EVoCeO @leviathan @se7en Thank you. Using simple language that doesn't scare people is not always my strongest suite. I appreciate all your feedback.
Hi, New to decentralized social media... social media in general.
I chose Mastodon because if its uncensored nature and chose QOTO.ORG because of its philosophy.
