Work happened, and I think management is happy with this weekend’s slogs.
I’ve been going through the old posts to think back on that awful summer three years ago. Maybe I shouldn’t harp on it, but I got a really shitty deal there.
Is there an aspect of your personality you wish you could chnage?
That’s a tough question. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I’m too trusting of ordinary people sometimes.
I don’t think my boss is out to get me.
I don’t think the government is out to get me.
I don’t think evil corporations are out to get me.
I’ve never attributed to malice what could more easily be explained by ignorance or stupidity.
“They’re not bad; they’re just stuid.”
Maybe that makes me a fool.
But, whatever. I could spend lots of spoons thinking about how I’ve been fucked over. But I don’t have enough to waste.
I think, maybe, this is still true. At the same time, I’m comfortable with how I approach others, even if it means people sometimes take advantage.
All that said, I will break contact. If you’ve done something that’s hurt me, I can basically write you out of my life. I only have so many cycles.
What I’m not going to do is go out of my way to make things awful for you.
The news of the past couple of days is that Apple, Stitcher, et. al., have pulled Alex Jones off their platforms.
On my initial response, I was okay with this. But after thinking more about it it, does that really serve any purpose, and what implication does it have for other things that aren’t your cup of tea.
Nope. Keep it running. Trumpet it. If people don’t like it, they’ll be the editors.
