We're in Taiwan now (at a hot springs resort 😍 in Yangmingshan National Park, outside of Taipei). Not really any major culture shocks yet, aside from people being very polite. It's my first time in Taiwan, and I can speak a bit of Mandarin. It's been enough to get by so far.... - josefine...

Going off your patience comment, dude there are some big studies that started back in the 90s when email first got real big, that we are losing our ability to stay with a subject as time goes on.... - Julian...
Hi everyone. I'm Shalon Tipton, and I think Emojis and Reaction symbols are the Devil. Well, one of them. Twitter is another one. Back to emojis. Does anyone here remember the passage in 1984 by Orwell when the fellow lays out the plan for reducing the number of available words... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼byccsweb3...

You both gave examples of things people say. I'd have to play it back. Along the lines of responses that you both said were uncomfortable. Language is usually what we most fuck up because we don't ask questions or clarify intent. We could do MUCH BETTER....
