I think a better way to phrase it is that Jesus is very anit-exploitation of others.

I’m not sure I’d go so far as to say that Jesus is anti-private ownership of the means of production of goods and service. Capitalism can and has been done without it. Unfortunately people are scum and the free market tends to reward those who are able to successfully exploit others.

Unfortunately it’s the platform a significant portion of our friends and family are using that we don’t see on a regular basis, and if we want to be able to easily share our lives with them without resorting to long-form emails or letters, it’s a convenient go-to. At some point I absolutely have it on my to-do list to spin up a Diaspora server of my own, but until then our content would still have to be living on someone else’s server, and it becomes kind of an apples-vs-oranges conversation for which one would be better.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback 🙂

This has certainly given me a bit to chew on, so far as being more careful with our children’s digital footprint at this stage of life. We do ensure to tick the boxes for “only friends” on the pictures we share, but I am aware that once something is out there it’s out there, particularly as who knows what kinds of inner closet demons our friends have that they would never share with us. And just because I’m more of an open book kinda guy and haven’t minded at all when my own mom has shared old pictures of me as a toddler running around in a diaper, doesn’t at all mean my children will feel the same way. I’ll be sure to bring this up with my wife sometime sooner rather than later.

And then there’s those of us who stick 8-foot boards diagonally through their Honda Civics so a couple inches are sticking out the front passenger and rear driver windows.

Coincidentally, by far the most use my dad’s pickup truck bed gets is when I borrow it from him to really load up at Home Depot.

The earth was in an ice age around 19,000 - 26,000 years ago - perhaps it started around then when everything was quite a bit cooler.

Might wanna do the poor bloke a favor and teach him about how to properly use ramps

I’m a couple years away from where you’re at… my oldest is still working on “is learning that he can’t watch Bluey anytime he wants just by handing mom or dad the TV remote”. It’s… an ongoing work in progress.

Shoot, my two are 5mo and 20mo, I go through this every day leaving the chaos behind in the morning to go to work with a deep breath of relief, and then missing them by around 2:00pm or so.
