@vkc @veronica Take care, you will be missed! Hopefully you feel like returning in the future. ️

@torgo It's a magic wand that allows you to examine, modify, and fix software.

@morgan I saw that video last week! It makes you confused but also hopeful?

I remember back in November AOC doing a livestream and finding out people voted for her but also voted for Trump... One guy said "You both stand up for people and say what you think!" and, uh, well...

@Mutedog It's totally possible to go to university and live in a city and not change your conservative views... it's not going to change everyone.

@kitkat_blue I think it's both. If you live in a small town that is pretty conservative, and filled with white people, you may not have much of a chance to meet different types of people.

I do agree with your thoughts on travel, and I love to travel outside the US and experience other places, people, and cultures.

We also learn that an Airtable spreadsheet is "a sophisticated tracking database" used by "far left agitators"...

He also told me he still reads Fox News, but with a critical eye, and so he can easily counter things his conservative friends (and family) tell him.

I remember him telling me that, and occasionally look at Fox News to see how they see things.

Here's an interesting one full of scary buzzwords like "Socialism" and "Communists".

I know a guy who used to be a conservative, until he went to college. It wasn't "woke professors" that change him to a liberal, it was being in an actual city instead of the small town he grew up in.

Meeting more diverse people made him realize he was fed lies about others while growing up.

So yeah, if you ever wondered why the right wants to shut down education and universities, that's one reason.

@matthew The worst part is you can see it happening! There is so much video proof, but people either don’t see it or don’t believe it.

@matthew I read a lot of comments this week and so many people still say thing like “if you’re not a criminal or illegal you have nothing to worry about.” (Of course they use “your” instead of “you’re” but you get my drift.)
