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.

I've learned there's nothing to make me so handy as getting a professional quote for work needed on our bathrooms.
I got a lot of steps on Saturday without even going for a morning run... A good number of those steps were my five trips to the local hardware/home improvement store... Renovating a bathroom and broke a pipe. 🤣
@tj @Jagahati @realcaseyrollins
Is it then appropriate to rephrase the earlier comment as :
"It is unethical to engage in behavior that is likely to harm anything I believe to have personhood"?
And is personhood a belief or an objective reality?
Democracy is winning without ever earning a single vote.
I'm old enough to remember the white house press secretary condemning any media that implied Biden want up for the job as "cheap fake" manipulated media.
What shocking and sudden thing happened to Biden that without any indication (other than cheap fake republican lies) he is suddenly, out of the blue, resigning? We have been assured until now that he's at the top of his game and anyone who says otherwise is engaged in election interference.
We can't just assume that #Harris and the rest of the administration have been lying to us the whole time about their nominee's fitness for office... that would make them unsupportable for lying to the public for so long about the fitness of the presidential nominee. If they lied about one nominee, they'll lie about the next.
Have we even confirmed that tweet isn't another cheap fake published on the Trump supporting X platform? Where's #Biden?
If I wrote a book about my decades in software development and platform architecture, it would likely be called: You're Not That Special.
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.
Headline suggestion: Other Former Presidents Issue Statements Condemning Shooting Former Presidents.
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.
"Kill Hitler" is an unsurprising response to what one would do with a time machine. When the constant drumbeat for years has been that Trump is worse than Hitler, is anyone surprised at today's event?
I don't see surprise on the timelines from people who aren't Trump fans. I only see disappointment from many that the assassination attempt was not successful.
Will anyone be surprised at more assassination attempts at #Trump and other non-#Democrats?
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.
