An "incel," as the term is used today, isn't just a guy who can't get a girlfriend.

It's a guy who thinks the world owes him a girlfriend, but also thinks it's beneath him, as a matter of principle, to do the smallest thing to make himself attractive or interesting or agreeable or in any way worth considering.

And when that, predictably, doesn't do anything but make him repulsive, he decides that the entire female sex is to blame and/or is just evil.

I have been a 1Password user for longer than I can remember. We have the family account. I would be dead in the water without it. I am really sorry to hear about LastPass's troubles. It makes me wonder if I can protect myself from a similar meltdown. I strongly recommend 1Password. As with all software, there is a learning curve. Well worth it, tho'

Quote I’m Musing

“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully.”
-Steve Jobs

I’ve thought on this quote many times working though sprints, project timelines, vision statements, and identity management. As leaders, you absolutely must maintain the vision and way forward that takes your team, your organization, your company to the goal.

Pretty is only on the outside. Beauty comes from within. So let it shine!❤️

I said to myself…what if we stopped calling it gun control and referenced it as firearm safety legislation?

Think that would trigger the NRA and the gun lobby?

James, I never knew before today that what I really wanted in my life was a Daily Dose of Dickinson! Thank you for fulfilling this fundamental need.

The only proper pizza is plain cheese or margherita. There, I said it. 🍕

When a place makes their own dough, sauce, and grates the cheese on site, ir doesn't need toppings. Just some oregano and a bit of red pepper flakes to enhance what is perfect as is.

People say fight hate with love, but they are mistaken about where the love should be directed. The victims of the haters should be getting the love, and the haters should see it. Offering love to haters is like trying to shake hands with a clenched fist. They don't want it, except to shit on it. Love must go where it is wanted. That is the nature of love.

Checked out a couple of the other sites and I definitely like this one the best

Tribel looks weird as hell

Mastadon seems to have people needy for attention like the bird site did

I just finished episode 2 on my flight to Florida. And, you can just color me confused. I will keep trying. Because that is what I do. And, I was not expecting an uplifting story line. I think it is from some of the same people who produced Dark. That one had me going in circles. And, at the end, I am still not sure I knew what was going on. But it kept me coming back for more. I guess like puzzles without solutions.

It’s like being evacuated from your neighborhood leaving it all behind. All we can do is start again. Who knows some of your friends from might stop by and cheer you up!
