@luciano oh goodness yes that’s a familiar one as well. I have to be careful about breaking down a task with too much granularity, or or it goes from feeling like one giant ogre of a problem to a thousand papercuts.

Just reminding Gen Z that their parents knew what racism was 20 years ago. Heck we even had the Internet by that point. Do not attempt to use age as an excuse for why we said or allowed that fucked up thing.

We tried to do the same with our folks too. They knew too.

@bitprophet Right? Mind you I’ve known plenty of ignorant folks, but the ratio of those hasn’t changed regardless of calendar year.

Interviewer: “How do you prioritize multiple projects?”

@deriamis and I can vouch that in most cases it was not how things were when they were young either. Heck I remember my alcoholic chain smoking biker grandfather loudly telling neighborhood racists to STFU and pull their heads from their nethers.

@deriamis hey may have chosen a different term than “nethers”

Probably should stay away from LinkedIn when I’m in my cranky anarch-ish moods because I’m flagging every post as political.

@mjgardner I mean yes, but mainly it’s full of a particular kind of hustle mindset I’ve never been fond of. Many variations of the old “buy my $10 book to find out how to get rich $10 at a time” game.

@thrillcat and factory security banging down their door for stealing company property.

I wouldn’t wish this scenario on anyone, but their might be a few where my empathy isn’t notably intense.

@mjgardner I tell you what when I get some steady work or some kind of entrepreneurial urge I will be so happy to let that account rust again.

@mjgardner god bless america

@mjgardner Well good things there’s no such thing as a fully anarchist society then I guess. It lasts about long enough for them to start arguing about the definition of anarchy.
