@mikemathia that's very relatable. My dad came home from work early one day and found me with the computer completely disassembled on his table. "You gonna be able to put that back together?" he asked nervously. He sat and watched me as I put it all back together. That was when he realized I had a valuable skill. Not long after that I landed my first job as a computer technician.

In the 90s my Dad was complaining to his friend that all I did was play video games on the computer. His friend, who was in IT at the time, said "He's installing software and troubleshooting/upgrading the computer to make those games work."

His friend was right. I ended up helping my high school setup their computer lab, which led to my first computer repair job, which turned into running my own IT Consulting business.

Playing computer games turned into a 25+ year career.

Encourage kids to do what they love. You never know what it might turn into.

Dear Reader,

"The world is about to witness, within days, the first air combat battle between NATO's older model F-16 fighter jet and Russia's air force over the skies of Ukraine.

Here is more information on the F-16, a US made aircraft. "

Every year, John ignores Christmas to indulge in pagan traditions.You know, gift giving, decorating his house with holly and mistletoe, singing carols door-to-door and preparing a big feast.

He's just cool like that 😎

I think my wife sells drugs?

As I was leaving the phone rang.

When I answered it the guy on the other end said has that dope gone yet?

#Breathe
Breathe in and breathe out.
These are people to comfort you that are around..
Take this time and reminisce..
On your body, soul, and all senses.
Breathe in and breathe out.
I’m a little anxious today, too.
I’ll grow.. I’ll subdue.
Remember why you’re here and keep your positive thoughts.
Try not to get stuck in pessimistic blocks.
Breathe in.
Smile.
Breathe out.
Talk.
The food is almost ready.
Don’t look at the clock!

Show me,
In phases
Of shadow
And light,
How to wear
My scars as
Elegantly as
The moon

Other ideas/feedback needed, please!

Here we go..

.. Virtual truth or dare games (apply ethics, practice safety without identifying where you live, etc) ie: audio clip singing posts, audio clip of asking neighbour for a cup of sugar, do a moon walk, call and old acquaintance/describe the outcome, etc
.. Photo challenges
.. Unique dinner pics

.. Discuss/promote ur favourite artists, musicians, writers, poets, books, etc
.. Have an upcycle challenge and share pics
.. Create an online discussion game: rewrite movie quotes,
.. Share a personal life hack ie I use a pen's pocket clip to old nails in awkward spaces (also safer lol)
.. Discuss time capsule items and bury them at a local beach in a metal container.. Fun for ppl with metal detectors to find yrs later

@lowqualityfacts

Until they answer let's work together..?

1) Keep asking this question to inspire solution-based thinking and find the answers we need ✅

2) practice and encourage ppl to form groups in their neighbourhood: share skills, books, tools, any and everything. Build your corner and inspire neighbouring communities. Strength in numbers and can influence votes eventually. Invite diverse individuals to join--reduce divisiveness and see each other's value as individuals with commonalities. Have group rules to thwart bad stuff.

3) consider sharing our homes or buying in with other age groups. Share food, utility, taxes, internet, phone, car, repairs, chores and skills. Enjoy proven longevity that comes with living with others. Legal contracts can specify rules right down to housecleaning to make it work. Think outside of the box--an extra bedroom can be a separate living room. Each person is a valuable, help asset.

4) time for me to have another coffee then might have more ideas 😊☕

5) keep thinking of this question 💝 and thank you for asking it!
