Almost two-thirds of the way through. Not a lot to say today, really. Some good exchanges with friends about various podcasts to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thinking back, I had a lot more certitude about various things back then. That kind or serves as a good bridge into today’s prompt. I somehow missed a prompt somewhere, so I had to fetch another from the stash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you feel the need to have an opinion on everything?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No. And, saying that, sometimes something you come around to understand why things were done a way that you viewed as stupid when you were first examining them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m thinking, mainly, about things like design decisions I saw on IT systems\/programs. Something that appeared completely insane to me in 2002 actually makes a lot of sense now. Several of those things were completely opposite of what my opinion was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This kind of ties back to what I talked about with sharing podcasts. I sent this<\/a> to someone. There’s aspects to being a human that aren’t at all explainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I used to not believe that at all. That certitude is, in and of itself, an opinion on everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it possible for me to figure everything out? No. Are there a lot of things that I couldn’t care less about? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m no longer ashamed to admit that there’s things I don’t know, and probably never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would make me a shitty politician, or, now, reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Detroit is cancelling its Thanksgiving parade.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a guy who probably was elected President a couple of weeks ago who ran on the idea that if only the guy he’s replacing had done something different, the world wouldn’t be having these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Que?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Belgians didn’t have the same decision-makers, but things are still really bad there<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
