I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment, I am happy
Happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here - Comment on Death to the spiders 2 days ago:
A former neighbor got bitten by one and had a sizable chunk of necrotized flesh removed. I was terrified for about a year but I got over it. I usually just catch spiders and carry them outside now, but I'm pretty sure if I see a recluse and recognize it, it's a goner.

Look what Edison did. I don't blame him for not trusting how the business world works.

Tesla. I feel there's so much we don't know, let alone understand, about his ideas. Have we overly sane/crazy washed him?

- Comment on I did not look up how progressive lenses really work before getting some. 2 weeks ago:
I like my progressive lenses. Clearer, smoother shift from reading to birding. I just had to adjust for maybe 10 days.

It's helpful for street signs in urban areas.
- Comment on Recognising Palestine is a distraction. We need sanctions to stop my people being killed 2 weeks ago:
Israel will not be stopped by speeches or hand-wringing. It will only be stopped by cutting off supplies to its military killing machine: sanctions, an arms embargo, an end to trade with this regime.

“The unfortunate reality is there's a microphone connected to a computer that's connected to the network,” says Nyx. “And there's no software patching that will make that not possible to use as a listening device.”

- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 3 weeks ago:
Bullies (personality disordered) seek out the strong to "prove" themselves "strong", and perceived weak for laughs/external validation. They are afraid they have nothing of substance to offer (they don't), and rather than sit with themselves to find weaknesses and flaws (much too painful, either due to an over-indulgent -- or more often, a physically/verbally/sexually/financially abusive -- upbringing) and do the work to be better people (if they can correctly identify "better," because to them, abusive behavior seems safe and strong ["suckers and losers" = "bad, they deserve it"]).
You're going to have to be the one to protect you, I'm sorry to say. Most people don't want to risk being "trouble makers," lest they lose their jobs. You're going to have to start documenting everything, then either meet with your supervisor, but an anonymous email (not from the company device or account or connection) may be able to check that behavior. If it doesn't, you'll have to meet with your supervisor or HR. I'd strongly recommend trying to find something else, before that meeting, but have your notes photocopied to take to the meeting and try to use different language. Leave the original copy home, with a photocopy in a different place, in case one set of notes becomes lost or damaged.

Right, like I was paranoid over facial recognition and Whatsapp when meta bought it.

Perhaps I could have bolded: 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

It's more like "Brahma (God) is One, the faces of Brahma are many." He's also triune, with Vishnu and Shiva.
Kind of like the 72 names of God.

Maybe the answer is learning. Helicopter parents don't allow kids to learn the hard lessons.
