Refusing to share your successes for fear of being insensitive to others' discouragement is what leads to a fragmented society. People need leaders to look up to and a stronger understanding of what is possible.

This place has become everything twitter used to be, which is to say a one-sided platform with no room for intelligent discussion or dissent.

I have such a hard time with this website. I’ve never experienced so many crybabies all at once. X is so positive and Bluesky is sure the world is falling apart

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Got to see a Saiga-12 tonight with a modified pistol grip and round magazine. Absolutely awesome weapon that can unfortunately no longer be imported from Russia. There is so much creativity in guns.

I found Twitter a much more hateful place in years past. When people found out where I worked or that I had center-right beliefs I would get absolutely roasted. I worry BS will grow into the same thing as it is largely one side of the isle here. It's important to talk to people we disagree with.

I keep seeing people say there is no algorithm on here. There definitely is. And the chronological feed hardly works so you are forced to use the algo

Apple's inability to meaningfully innovate the iPhone and its resistance to integration with new SMS standards/Android messaging to create a mote around its brand has instead led more users to adopt things like WhatsApp. That is a remarkable surprise within the US market.

There is nothing better than getting a good night's rest, waking up early when it's dark and the kids are still out, taking time to ponder, meditate, pray, read sacred text, and then welcome the day. For some reason, it's a hard habit for me to keep, but I love it when I do it.

If you really believed democracy was at stake in this election cycle, I hope you deeply reconsider your media sources as we go forward. I went through a deep process of realization over the past four years and it’s been very healthy.

A few months ago I bought an Air96 keyboard by Nuphy. I can't get enough of it! I had tried another mechanical keyboard in the past but never could get used to the height of it.

It's been a long time since I started fresh on social media. As a center-right web developer most of my career has been spent silent on most things I care about. I'll post them here, come what may. But mostly I post about my day-to-day thoughts.

You are up to date.
