Hey I have an idea, let’s put him in charge of… “Technology”?

Indeed, I find that if we don’t take care of ourselves, we become a burden to others and can’t help anyone, so that’s so important to remember (that if we want to help “others”, it has to start with ourselves).

*I* do not, and if there’s one, then surely there’s more like me? :-P

Moreover, I think it’s impressive that you have dedicated so much of your efforts to improving people’s experiences here on the Fediverse. Even if people disagree with you on some point - which for myself I am aware of nothing but even if there were - that would still be true. You probably don’t get thanked often, so I offer it, and I hope that you will accept.

But also, I hope that you find a way to show kindness to yourself too:-). Our families may have royally fucked us up for life, but we can do different, for ourselves! Or at least, I very much (desperately) hope that can be true.

Ikr, like did he work for Boeing or…? :-P

He definitely had “character” though, as someone who faced death, multiple times, and had to stare at it and let it change him, to focus his efforts on stuff that really matters in life. (anti-capitalistic principles I guess?:-D)

Thank you for sharing this story.

Since GamerGate was mentioned, here is a link to Innuendo Studios’ analysis called “Why Are You So Angry?”, although I prefer its more broad sequel “The Alt-Right Playbook”.

Though without the kind of linked personal stories, so many people would not be receptive to hearing such analyses, so they both are kinda necessary. :-)

Oh man, some written phrases you can just hear!

Maybe if it did a little more LDS, it would understand:-).

As an aside, perhaps that speaks to just how great Gene Rodenberry was to have created the show in the first place? Here’s an awesome comic about him.

Data and Spock are the same person, I knew it!? 😂

He scares me… thinking that he means it literally!?

Oh yeah… well… the joke is on you, see, I actually wanted moar bullshit all along!

I did not watch it so… this is a true statement:-).

Ah Bester, my favorite ambassador from Babylon Six!? :-P

Reminds me of this one:

Engage laughter module.

Cease. Now resume work.

Indeed, it might be neat to stop such things, wherever they occur.

True “alpha” behavior

More people die on average every week in American school shootings but… okay.
