2006 -- I recommend you maintain your blog, be on social media, and actively maintain an online presence.
2026 -- I just can't recommend that anymore for the average person in my life--it has gotten too hostile out there.
@mlanger I just cannot recommend. What you do is your call -- my piece was just on my ability to recommend it. It just doesn't need me evangelizing it.
@kin Point taken.
@kin The world is a hostile place. What can you recommend instead? Head in the sand like an ostrich?
I'm not being argumentative here. I just want to point out that this is the way the world is now and not being out there because of worries that your feelings might get hurt is a really bad strategy for dealing with it.
This might be a radical view from someone who was mercilessly bullied through junior high. It it made me a stronger person. Now I don't take shit from anyone.
