@artyr3 I'm not even going to try to keep up with them all. It is interesting, but man, Balkanization!

After about a year of proclaiming the benefits of espousing the Fediverse to friends on the right and left, it feels like a kick to the groin to watch the exodus to Parler. I'm still laughing at FB and Twitter though.

@lo I usually buy Leicas for surveying. Love their gear.

@rastites "Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth." -Proverbs 17:24(WEB)
Not calling you a fool, but keep focused on the world in front of you, your sphere of influence. Look for opportunities to be the body of Christ. Stop worrying about the big picture, because God has that covered.It is too much for us to worry about the whole world, but by all means let's keep praying! Remember James 3:17. You're not alone though!

@retiredguru@social.linux.pizza I've got an old 32 bit laptop that helps heat my house and acts as a print server. It stops its wireless connection from time to time, might be this...

Anyone else remember this? I haven't really ever trusted our election system when numbers are close enough that a couple of malcontents can alter the results, and I don't know if any wrongdoing/accidents took place. I just want a fair election.

Just powered through 17hrs of intense CAD work through the night. I think I would be less tired if I had just walked the whole time. Once I get done with this conference call, I don't even want to look at a computer for a few days...

@jrballesteros05 @blueberry Because they still have a high number of people who remember the ravages of socialism in Cuba and now Venezuela. They support him despite him being an ass. That should tell you something.

@Gina I think women in many professions have to bring more to the table than their male peers. I see politics in the US to still be there somewhat. The women you do see often have to be more extreme in their views to get elected and in a way that doesn't help make them relatable to many as a representative.

@Gina I think we're ready for a female president, but admittedly the bar would have to be higher than for a man; however, that is still pretty low if you've been paying attention. I would rather the first female president be elected in, rather than take over from VP. That seems like it would detract a bit from it all.

There was once a vote between Jesus and Barabbas. Jesus lost. Thank goodness that humankind does not have the final say in the matter of its destiny. If we had our way, we would find ourselves in ruin every time. Thank God for His kindness and grace. Let's not lean on our own understanding.

@sheogorath There's a lot of media that would have been lost if not for pirate fans. I copy all my physical media to NAS. I have boxes of DVDs that stay out of sight in storage. Copyright laws have been perverted and the goalpost is always changing. Always let your conscience be your guide.
