Well, I guess I just don't see the problem with them seeing content intended to be public... but whatever.

@freemo
So, I guess that means they haven't (yet) blocked qoto then?

@freemo
Will defederating stop the doxxing? Will it restore any lost privacy? If the answer is no, then defederating is just more political grandstanding that you criticize other instances for.

If you haven't already stumbled across the writings of Eckhart Tolle, I suspect you might also like those.

I do it every week or two.
Upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3 required a reboot _during the upgrade_ on two machines, two reboots on a third.
One of the main reasons I switched from FreeBSD to Debian (crap, it's been over a decade now!) was the lack of flash on FreeBSD. With that having become a non-issue, I keep thinking about switching back, but... inertia.

3. Excessive alarm over COVID-19.

I've not seen anyone with COVID-19, nor any memes about it. Just the FUD.

Wife says she agrees 100% and, "Course it helps to be married to awesome people."

I voted yes even though Privacy Badger is not an ad blocker.
It does block _most_ ads though.

I don't know... After 44 years in a great marriage, most of that rings shallowly listicle to me.

1. We've never been bored.
(we've moved 41 or 42 times, never had time for boredom)

2. We hardly ever "date." I mean, we eat at a restaurant 8 or 9 times a year, but mostly that's because neither of us feels like cooking. We've bowled on and off over the decades, a few times on leagues. That's about it for "dating."

3. We never go to a movie; never watch romantic comedies.

4. None of that stuff.

My listicle:
1. Communicate
2. Be willing to compromise.
3. Sex isn't something to do only "when you're in the mood." Rather it's what to do to get into the mood.
4. Individual growth (plus communication) equals relationship growth.
5. Laugh.
6. Obstacles can be the difference between a mere trip and an adventure.

Judgement as in "Judge not, lest ye be judged."

Judging progress isn't judgement, it's "gauging progress," or "measuring progress."

It seems to me that your deflection might indicate a discomfort with a judgemental Casey. I wonder if it's the appearance of a judgemental Casey (what others think) or the fact of a judgemental Casey that bothers you.

@realcaseyrollins
Seems to me that a therapist shouldn't characterize humanity as "good people" and "bad people." One would also not characterize the removal of a weeks-old zygote as "murder."
Those are fine as personal opinions, but would have no place in therapy itself, or really even in the mind of a good therapist.

Much of therapy boils down to helping people learn not to judge.

I did find this one though that seems somewhat related:

Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from CABG, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of complications."

IOW, voting within the two parties has gotten us where? Maybe it's time to try something new. Vote for your favorite candidate who is NOT a demopublican.

As per George Washington, political parties will be the downfall of the republic (if they haven't already been). Vote straight anti-party, i.e. all independents.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing yet expecting different results.
