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.

To think a year ago they were Dancing on TikTok as Heroes
Well, today I will tell my boss and maybe his boss that I'm going to look for a new job after 7 years here because I can't support what they're pushing (off shoring my team's work and asking for my team to train up and oversee off shore rather than be the developers they were hired to be), and they aren't listening to my concerns, warnings, objections.
I don't have another job yet, but I also won't be around for another year with them pushing this. My team isn't going to stick around either. They want to be software developers, not people who write up documentation for other developers to do.
Somewhat stressed.
@sizzletron@noagendasocial.com well... just wait.... Soon there won't be any health care workers who object to the vaccine. Makes for a quick consensus among the workers by firing those who disagree.
@KellyS@noagendasocial.com @ReadyKilowatt was it the actor or the writing or the story line that lost you?
The change of actors has been built into the show for 50 years since William Hartnell left the show and the story is often much more about the companions than The Doctor. Given all of that, I can flex with the change of actor just fine as long as they don't lose good writing or story...which they now have.
@KellyS@noagendasocial.com @ReadyKilowatt I pre purchased the season with Jodi for a couple of bucks from Amazon. Never finished that season. Not sure to her, but the writing was awful, the story line boring.
Like you stopped thinking about it except for thinking we should re watch Tennant and Smith, especially the Amelia Pond story line.
Have they realized they've killed it so are going back to who revived it before to revive it again? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

My employer sent a memo today, with the NYS healthcare worker mandate set to take effect on Monday, they aren’t terminating people, they are being so kind as to put people on “mandate leave”,which is unpaid, you can be on mandate leave for up to 60 days after which you will be terminated, but you could be terminated any time after 30 days. If you comply you can “request” to be reinstated but if they already filled your spot, Well, sorry, there is no guarantee they will take you back. Fun Times

[RT @wrathofgnon]
A beautiful passage in my favorite book, that I read and re-read (my original copy is a bundle of lose leaves kept together by a piece of string), G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy: "...for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”

@jforseth210 I'm not Roman, but for me, I love that the liturgy is packed good of real theological content. That takes some time and good teaching to understand, but it means that removing from the liturgy is removing theological content that we live out through the liturgy. Why would we want to stop that?
