In a democracy... It doesn't matter who we voted for in the primary, it matters who polls the best so they can be swapped out regardless of who won the votes?

@multilingualchurch Congrats! That's awesome. We'll hit 21 years very soon... finally will be able to have a drink together. 😜

@ambulocetus found the full quote on snopes for anyone interested.

Before going further, I want to send our support and our deepest sympathies to the victims and families touched by the terrible school shooting yesterday in Perry, Iowa. To the entire community: We love you, we pray for you and we ask God to heal and comfort really the whole state and the pain that you have. This is something that's very unique to your state. We're really with you, as much as anybody can be. It's a very terrible thing that happened. And it's just terrible to see that happening. It's just terrible. So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward. But, to the relatives and to all of the people that are so devastated right now, to a point they can't breathe, they can't live, we are with you all the way. We're with you and we love you and cherish you.

@ChrisHolladay yep, it seems to mean... Nothing. Did he registered as a republican just to vote against Trump in a primary? Because he was a fan of Lincoln? Did he do it on a dare?

I read he'd made a single political donation to a group on the left, but it was $15, so hard to get anything meaningful from that either.

But, I am confident confirmation bias will continue to help people solidify their existing opinions.

Would you say that killing some of Hitler's followers in the attempt to kill Hitler would be wrong or unacceptable?

@jenzi Gotcha. I scrolled the public timeline that I see, didn't grab screenshots. You responded with CITE YOUR SOURCES, and I don't have them. I didn't grab screenshots. Fair enough.

You only seem interested in name calling rather than having any kind of dialogue, so I'll leave this thread here.

@jenzi And.. all I did was share my observation. I'm not attacking people's character or bringing fighting into this. That's all you. I'll stick to not fighting randos on the web. Have a good day.

@jenzi I posted based on what I observed, didn't lie. Not everyone sees all the same stuff or reads it the same way. No need to go for character attacks.

@jgg I don't suggest that until next week.

@jenzi So... that's half of what I posted, and I didn't grab screenshots. How about all the posts bemoaning that a politician they don't like is still alive? No correction on that. Noted.

Observation: Timelines on the fediverse are full of people rejoicing that people were shot at the Trump rally and bemoaning that today's assassination attempt was not successful.

@dorgaldir I have but it's been a few years. We evaluated different scope change options, but largely leveraged the SAP Middleware (I'm not remembering that acronym now) and Salesforce Connect with the netweaver gateway to provide views of data that didn't need to be replicated in.

@midway @realcaseyrollins

The benefit of the original proposition is that of ongoing income having a property that could be used as Rental property, which is true regardless of potential selling value.

It's also true that nothing is risk free. Just handling over cash to a higher ed institution rather than offsetting cost with something that produces income AND has potential future value in itself seems wise.

Seriously thinking about this actually.... Several kids and just got through a period of real financial strain. What if we started investing in real estate in lieu of educational savings accounts? Hmm.

@realcaseyrollins interesting idea. After becoming a parent (now of several kids) I became more friendly to the question of why parents of adult children should be obligated to pay for college. 🤔

The state of college/university also has me concerned about the ROI of a tuition bill.

I like the idea better of having a family business that adult children can help run and this pass it on. An airbnb/rental setup could do nicely for that, I like the idea better of my many kids benefiting from investing in the family business rather than expecting extremely large cash allowances for years into adulthood.

#Denver residents: Another reminder that your Democrat government hates you.

Denver to cut citizens hours to zero to illegally hire noncitizens not authorized to work in the US.
