my daughter happily chirped last week that Christmas was only 2 weeks away and my wife burst into tears. It's been a rough month.

If you're just here to be grumpy at a stranger on the internet, then that's fine too.

I know being grumpy at a stranger can help when we need to externalize our frustrations about a world beyond our control.

Is your point that I should reflect on something I said 6 years ago?

And, if I have, then that's good?

I guess I'm missing the point of why you're here telling me to reflect on something I've already reflected on. Are you interested in that reflection?

be honest: would you listen to a single word I said if I told you about my reflections?

I not only admitted I was wrong about that, I wrote a long thread about how despicable Kavanaugh was for breaking his promise to protect Roe

I think back to my grad school days. It was pre-iPhone but web tech was well established.

I thought there were a world of possibilities for making stuff to make things better for people & I was excited to get out there & do it.
