This is not a real quote, according to Snopes. Sorry. It sure sounds like the quiet part.

But he wouldn't see the support of women as meaningful. His movement doesn't think they should vote.

[3] Theoretically, we get to demand what is rightfully ours. I guess government is more like our dysfunctional family. We're kind of stuck with each other, and we have to make it work in some way.

[2] When you need something done, you don't get to choose service providers. Likewise, they aren't really allowed to refuse you as a customer. This all gets messy, of course. Yeah, we fire people during elections, but it's pretty slow turnover from our end.

[1] In a way, but the metaphor breaks pretty quickly. Are we customers? Employees? Stockholders? If it is a business, it's a monopoly. We don't get to choose whose laws we prefer or whose taxes we will pay (unless you're wealthy enough).

Me, too! Got a hard drive updated and all the data moved and back to production today! Sometimes we just have to run with it!

[2/2] Maybe this will swing the pendulum a bit so people aren't put in virtual jail for legitimate conversion that contains trigger words. We may not be able to help those who refuse to learn how to discern, but we are more free to create our own pioneers to help each other.

[1/2] There is a part of me that is alarmed. Another part has nostalgia for the old days of screen names and crazy play in the networked world that was lost as the Internet became a mall.

I don't mean to quibble here. The Senate was always intended to be equal for all states. The house is proportionate. Agree that addressing gerrymandering and greater standardization on eligibility and voting processes is necessary. Ranked choice voting would be an amazing innovation.

Important day. We can all use this example right now

[4/4] I raise my brandy to this from my luxurious wing backed chair. Oh, damn! Jeeves, another brandy. I guess we need a new word besides "reading" that talks about consuming information through forms of the written word.[End]

[3/4] So, self-enlightenment and self education through books is more accessible to everyone, but, we can retain a sort of elite status by pointing out that some did it while performing chores or commuting while others had the time to stop everything and read. [Continued]

[2/4] I get it now! Reading demands that one stop everything and sit, focused on the book. It's a luxury of time that not everyone has. Absorbing the information of a book by listening opens that up to more people. [Continued]

Everything I've seen about dating apps is icky. There has got to be a better way to connect with people.

I discovered that my retention for an audiobook was the same as my eyeball retention. This opened up many new hours of reading available to me. I'm grateful for it.

I've had several friends over the years pick me as an early person to come out. I'm not sure what they expected. I generally meet the news with a shrug because it doesn't really change the way I see them.
