Middle aged Progressive; I enjoy science and music - not in than order. I complain a lot. Hopium vendors need not apply, I'll only frustrate you.

Alt-text for profile pic: me, a middle aged white hippy sporting a beard and top hat. I don't *look* irritating.

Reply guy, drive-by poster. Don't worry, I'll agonize over my replies more than you will.

Note: "Shut up" is less polite than "You can stop talking now", but both work.

Why do I #BelieveWomen ?

Because I had a grand total of about six male friends during my years in High School and two of them went to prison for rape.

I still ask myself what I might have missed or what I could have noticed. And there's nothing.

This is also a reason that I don't seek out close friendships. People are creepy fuckers.

So like, I don't want to be one of those "a lot of people say" kind of people because...well, nobody believes it. So I'm not going to do that (much).

A number of years ago I was (still am) friends with a guy that I went to college with. He had a really interesting background; had been to Europe a few times, was working on his Masters (ultimately). Had been a radio DJ and written a play, professionally performed. Joined the Peace Corps. I mean, he really did just about everything that an ambitious person might have thought, "That would be fun to do!"

And he traveled. He traveled a lot.

And one day when we were talking on the phone, I mentioned to him how much I envied his willingness to just pack up his shit and move to a country where he doesn't know the language. I was really in awe of his ability to do that, what with me being barely able to feel comfortable outside of the house.

And he laughed, and he said, "Dude, don't envy me." He goes, "every single time I'm in the airport I'm a coin toss away from not going. Every time." Then he told me, "I'm scared every time, but you know, I've been scared of everything that I've found was worth doing. Be scared. Just don't let it stop you."

And ultimately, HE is why I've been able to pack up every last little stitch of a possession and move to the other side of the world.

A lot of people DO tell me that they think that I'm brave or whatever, but to those people I just have to repeat my friends sentiments: Of course I'm scared. I would be a fool to not be scared. So what?

I'm sorry you're tired of people that aren't me.

I don't much like people who aren't you, either.

The difference between us, I suppose, is that my accusations and attacks aren't you-shaped.

A bunch of you motherfuckers are my age and survived the Cold War.

If you're younger than us, then that's your excuse. You've never lived with the threat of nuclear annihilation over your head.

But most of us did, and a lot of us are here on Fedi, and I'm here to tell you: ignore it.

Literally ignore it.

There's nothing that YOU can do. If you're close enough to help, you're probably dead or in need of help yourself. If you're not close enough, there's not a damned thing you can do except wait for fallout.

Yes, we need to pay attention to politics, as much as is tolerable and useful. A bunch of soldiers *should* be paying attention to when the bombs start falling.

And if they start falling in the US...the government will *probably* not tell us. So we won't have time to evacuate anyway.

So ignore it. Unless you have to pay attention, ignore that detail. It's a war. Like other wars. Even if it's NOT like other wars, it's like other wars *until* it's not. And right now? It's like other wars.

@mayintoronto Without using one of the "bad" services like Google or Amazon or whatever, our options are pretty limited. There is a TON of software out there that can do this stuff, but it tends to be pricey or have a monthly fee, which are both dealbreakers for me. Not sure if you're on Linux or not, but if you are I encourage you to check out ZimWiki (or check alternativeto.com for similar options). Whenever I go through this it seems like every other application wants to do "everything", and that makes them all just ungainly and taxing for the system for functionality that I simply won't use. I don't need a fucking word cloud that can build a powerpoint presentation. I need a way to keep track of many moving parts on many different projects, bonus if you can add pictures...which sounds like what you're after too. ZimWiki does this, but transportability isn't awesome.

@mayintoronto Ah, same, but if you tend to not have a lot of drafts, and you use the method that I outlined, it doesn't matter if it's read or not because it'll basically be the only email in the folder. That does kind of depend on how much you actually *use* Drafts...I personally don't send a whole lot of email.

@mayintoronto I use email, but not the way that people tell you to. I create a blank email to nobody, which automatically saves a draft on my network server; then I can go into my "Drafts" folder wherever I happen to log in (phone, computer, wherever) and get to my notes. But I don't do this for big, long term projects usually. It works really well for home improvement projects (shit, that light bulb is out, that hinge is broken, etc) and especially for groceries, because I can note it the instant I know that I'm low on something and not have to leave the room. For bigger projects I've been unable to find a consistent way to share between devices. I use ZimWiki on Linux and it works fantastically, but even though the files are all plaintext (ish), consistently sharing between devices is quite a pain (unless it's on a network share somewhere, in which case it's either open to the public or only available while you're at home). This is a problem that I've chased a few times now, but honestly the "best" solution for me always seems to come back to a pocket notebook, a pen, and a lot of squinting while I try to remember what I scribbled and why. For big projects that I do at home (yard stuff or building bookshelves or whatever) I just use a plain old legal pad to keep track of measurements and stuff. That's what I used to pack up my life when I moved all of my shit to France.

I kind of feel like if we focus on prosecuting and eliminating high profile pedophiles a whole BUNCH of other problems will simply no longer be problems.

@lydialurch It's likely most of us would survive the initial blasts; we can die slowly of radiation poisoning, which should be 'fun'.

Until there's a diagnosis, I refuse to excuse warmongering or pedophillic behavior.

Even if he has dementia he needs to be tried and executed.

People calling for impeachment are forgetting how toothless impeachment is. Criminals should be arrested, not impeached.
