The US values its weapons over decency.

"Do you believe in god?"

No. That's for old fools with nothing to lose, and a full belly.

Listen. Listen and make sure they know you hear them. Actively engage in thier interests. Be honest. Just don't bullshit them. Daughters know. Mine are 27 and 11 and those are my biggest missteps along the way.

Oh, also be wrong. Be wrong and accountable. And learn.

I couldn't possibly say.....

glouriousgouda , 1 month ago to World News in 77% of Top Climate Scientists Think 2.5°C of Warming Is Coming—And They're Horrified

I've been living in coastal Southeastern Texas for 44 years. Im 46.
In 2017 my county rezoned us as a flood zone because of the Havey flooding caused all the poor planning.
An entire section of the state reclassified because "interstate highway" needed to be bigger.

They've been building the same 50ish miles for at least 27 years. All they've managed to do is ruin what was naturally occurring barriers and eroded our ability to maintain habitation. Or to expect a reasonable ability to protect against a disaster.

We're leaving 3.4 acres my grandfather bought in 1986, and gave my sister and I in 2007.

And that's just MY story. We had 375 neighbors in my area and at least 30% have moved on since 2017.

And that's just one coastal city, in one state, in one country, on one continent.

I don't have a lot of fantasy about humanities future.

I stopped using all social media that insists on taking control of my content a long while ago. History has taught us that the laws flow with, and follow the money. And Meta has a lot of it.
Just don't use the products, and use these examples as to "why" you won't when pressed. It's gross that we are wanting to be a part of a product that isn't for us.
Why would you want to exist in that, when it is such a difficult experience? I just can't wrap my head around it.

I freaking love that! And I have a feeling conversations like that happen pretty often, and I have to know if they are documented now!

Absolutely! The mentality that it's "wasted time and resources" is exactly how you extinguish progress, invention, and ultimately the ability to innovate existing tools.

Maybe I am just out of touch with the what the majority thinks, but this is honestly surprising. I am very glad to hear it, but yeah, I didn't expect this reaction. Maybe from us Linux folks who just like reiterate the FOSS sentiments in protest, but not this. It's refreshing.

Well, to be fair, it's an AMAZING manual.
