I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

I wonder what CNN’s ratings would be if it wasn’t mandatory viewing at every airport.

Yup, me too. If I could have seen the reality of what an abortion is—the killing of a baby visibly growing inside his mother's womb—I never would have even considered describing myself as "pro-choice." https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1234927483599937538 …

First Colorado primary (we were Caucus state until now), in a state with early mail in ballots for all registered voters, first time with an open primary as well. What could go wrong? How about : your vote doesn't count depending on just how the candidate technically suspended their campaign.

Socialism is not compassion. Capitalism is not compassion. Compassion is compassion.
Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until 'Millions' Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 Emergency
"Let's call it Trumpvirus," urged a New York Times opinion writer conspiratorially. Nancy Pelosi groused that President Trump waited too long to attack the coronavirus (COVID-19) and then impetuously declared he couldn't have leftover and unspent Ebola virus money to fight it, while Senator Chuck...
... Now, let's go to the Wayback Machine. In April of 2009, the H1N1 became a pandemic.
But it wasn't until six months later, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was already a pandemic. By that time, the disease had infected millions of Americans and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.
And if you think the world is going to end, the best thing you can do is stop having children. That’s telling the world: “You can’t fire us... we quit!”
Opinion: Is The Most Prosperous Era In Human History A Good Time To Have Kids?
People are always uncertain what kind of world they would be bringing any potential children into, and as we look at the current era, with its boundless prosperity and opportunity unlike mankind has ever seen, people are just not certain that now is a good time to have kids.Smartphones. The internet. Netflix. These are things kids would distract us from. In pr …

As horrible as COVID-19 may be, if you're healthy and under 70 you probably don't have much to worry about if you /do/ catch it based on these stats.

I remember the thread, and remember thinking : Well that escalated quickly.
I really like the Be Excellent to Others, and Seek to Understand ideals of #qoto, but have stopped myself from posting multiple times expecting something like that might happen if a toot rubs someone the wrong way. Then I saw it happen with your toot that day.
I have considered creating another account where I can post more openly, but so far I haven't wanted to leave QOTO, nor maintain multiple accounts.
