I live in a county that is very strongly divided on several issues. Nextdoor has to constantly remove posts for excess intensity. A discord would rapidly devolve into death threats.

I do believe that there will be violence. Probably some bombs in buildings. Probably some rogue shooters. Disappointed zealots taking revenge. Certainly assassination attempts.
Very helpful. Excellent methodology and presentation.
Me too.
I was at this concert:
Info that allows me to break through any of the “brick walls” in my genealogy research.
I was a staff studio photographer doing jewelery work in the late 1980s. In NYC. If you are old enough to remember the Service Merchandise jewelery section, that was me. Lots of other upscale catalogs too. “Successful” in the business.
There were hundreds of people willing to do my job for free. Many were talented. So the pay was minimal. Tried other careers, landed in computer work in the early 90s. Got lucky with the rising tide. Rode it until now.

As I understand, it is the opposite. As photons move at c, time does not pass for them - they do not age. From the pov of the photon, it is created and destroyed simultaneously. Even thought we observe it to take time to travel through space. Per special relativity.
I only recently learned of this:
Time is the coin of your Life.
It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
And when you spend it, spend it wisely so that you get the most for your expenditure.

Thank you for seeing me. Some days, the worst is the feeling that all of the struggle is not only insignificant in the end, but also invisible. I think of all of the rest that are in situations like me and that I’ll never know them.
Most of those are due to COVID. Not that he didn’t make it all worse…
Punk is all about not giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. Even other punks. I respect this punk.
