Am currently the hash tag king on #qoto's directory. Not sure if that's good or bad.
Working on compartmentalizing stress this week. Lots of stress with work (work load and personalities) and parenting, hoping to be able to focus on taking care of myself better by time boxing when I focus on which stressors.
It's looking like the difficulties and pressures won't let up any time soon, and situations like likely get worse, so hoping this is a fine if growth with my own ability to manage multiple very stressful situations.
I've found historically that I often feel like I'm drowning in impossible situations, then defying my own expectations excel and do really well, and then I wish I didn't lose so much sleep so many nights. Hoping to continue to excel without losing sleep and skipping personal priorities due to (over) stressing.
@NPR Should we point out the assumption from this tweet from a member of the media? The assumption is that simply by being a member of the media like this tweeter is, means one always speaks the truth. Last time I heard NPR is was rumors and speculation with gleeful hope that Stone's arrest would advance their political goals rather than a focus on truth.
People don't g become saints because they get a government job instead of a corporate job, even in socialist governments like Venezuela. People don't become saints because they work in media taking a position of telling everyone what they should think. Those who are saints gather weekly to confess their hypocrisy.
We shouldn't turn off our discernment, it's always difficult to figure out what's "truth, propaganda or rumor ", the media is not inherently decent, honest, truthful, or reliable. We need to stop expecting a trustworthy news source and employ more critical thinking.
Friend: Are you OK? You haven't posted on Instagram in ages
Me: I quit FB, Instagram, and Twitter.
Friend: Why'd you quit the internet?
Me: Actually I've *rejoined* the Internet.
Next time someone asked me why did I leave the internet, I'm gonna say I'm still very much on the Internet. When are *you* coming back?

Hello world! I am a software developer - some of my interests include: computer science, cyber security (and the right to privacy), space program, futurology, mind-mapping, ethical thinking, brainstorming, minimalism, tiny living, and being respectful with everyone and trying to listen and understand. I'm pretty good at seeing "both sides of an argument" and I enjoy discourse (mostly enjoy listening to intelligent people talking amongst each other) I'm quite keen on privacy and I am passionately in love with this mastadon federated social media concept. I am extremely excited to be here and looking forward to meeting many of you and hearing what you have to say! #introductions

Users: “Hey, maybe ban Nazis or punish users who talk about how they want to punch high school kids in the face.”
Twitter: “Eh.”
Users: “OK, at least let us enjoy fun accounts making fun of Emo Beto.”
Twitter: “BANNED. BANNED. YOU’RE ALL BANNED. NONE OF YOU IS FREE OF SIN." https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1088082463908421632
To understand the rage over the high school kids smiling, you must understand that #sjw have replaced religion with their ideology.
As white males those Catholic boys represent demons in #leftist religion. They are literally incarnations of the "white devil"
By smiling they are guilty and any facts are irrelevant. Similar to #Islam their only hope for salvation is submission so leftist ideas. By wearing #MAGA hats, they have clearly not repented for the sin of being born white
"Welcome to the 2020 presidential primary. Almost no policy is too liberal for Democrats fighting to win over their party’s base... few have outlined detailed proposals to fund their priorities"
@SecondJon @freemo I can assure you that the anonymity of the internet increases the asshat factor considerably. Names and words are as real as story book characters.
They might as well not exist to the human brain. People need to actively remember human beings are there on the other end of that series of toobs.
@Surasanji opinions never upset me, only the actions that often result from it do.. so i am never upset by a persons opinions. I just think their a moron and move on.
@freemo Eh, I think it be safe to say I mean beyond opinions. Like world views, ideas, concepts even. There are a lot of things that I don't like, and make me uncomfortable.
I was just always taught that you can't shy away from those things that make you uncomfortable. You've got to figure out why it makes you uncomfortable, be aware of it.
Eh, I guess I'm just a little disappointed in general at the nature of Social Media now that I've been in it a few months.
But, the forum here is still very young, as far as forums go. Maybe it'll change for the better. Can't abandon it just because it isn't what I thought it might be, right?
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.
