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.

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?
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?
"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.
One of my kids' birthday asks was to go on a hike with just me. Had a lovely time hiking a few miles on a nearby trail this morning.

Thank God nobody ever actually followed through on the "lock her up" chants and charged Hillary with any crimes. If we'd strayed outside of the norms like that, Democrats might have done something drastic when they took power. Think of the norms. Must always protect the norms!
#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.
I didn't know I wanted to learn patience today. But I'm at a car dealer. Here we go.

To protect #democracy we must not let people vote for him. This is not voter suppression because people can still vote for candidates not yet removed from the ballot, and is not election interference because there will still be an election... Between candidates our four #Colorado justices approve.

🚨BREAKING: Illinois Democrats just killed the only school choice program in the state.
It's not a voucher but a tax credit that funds scholarships for 10,000 low income and mostly minority students.
The kids wanted it but the teachers' unions didn't
So IL Dems ended it.

Liberals are banning "To Kill A Mockingbird." Conservatives are restricting pornography. We are not the same.

I thought #Palestine just wanted to be left alone, and that #Israel is the aggressor. This does not compute!!!
