Probably the healthiest thing to do since that place is such a cesspool. I am so sick of the tribalism on on both sides of the aisle. I was so hopeful for the right for a while. There I was thinking that they were truly going to rise above all of this, but unfortunately, the right has turned into the left, but just with their own policies and agendas. I know it’s difficult when we get super emotional, but anyone who thinks this particular election is unique compared to previous ones, and that were in an existential crisis, is operating from a place of fear which is fundamentally not healthy for us. Fear is our enemy, our main enemy. Fear causes us to behave in ways we otherwise wouldn’t and to give up our values and liberties. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Democrats real discount into a dystopian place because of their fear, and sadly I’m beginning to see Republicans do the same.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
@KimIversen interesting new social media platform called "minnect". the concept basically provides a source to connect experts with the public. this can include scheduling 1 to 1 consultations and/or group connections through a larger podcast. instead of expertise valued on just traditional formal institutional credentialism, their is a customer ratings system (similar to ebay, amazon, etc) where the expert is rated on their specific expertise experience by the customer...
although this platform thus far seems more political and celebrity focused, it makes me wonder if this or something like this maybe a potential way out of corrupted "woke" institutional credentialism in areas like counseling, doctors, education, etc... the initial barriers i for see would be from traditional bureaucracies like health insurance companies but could be overcome in time with enough demand.
