I already keep at least four journals (personal observations and random thoughts, ranting and get-it-off-my-chest, professional notes and processes, and work-related CYA). I’d like to be more conscientious about all of them.

I’d also like to start a sketching and watercolor journal. I really miss that creative outlet, and a sketchbook might help to carve out time for it.

Of course, after the Cheney Administration, anything that wasn’t endless war was going to feel like a change. Just as Biden felt like a change because he wasn’t a petulant, ignorant, egomaniacal child.

Cherry picking data has long been a problem. I recall a short piece from high school in the 80s called something like “How to Lie with Statistics.” It’s always stuck with me.

Am I the only one who thinks they took too much inspiration from Star Wars Star Destroyers?

Stalling until Trump can take office and change his mind — again?

Maybe hire better protection partners?

Damage control from the PR team shouldn’t be allowed to fix this. Publicly name the “protection partner,” publicly end their contract, apologize, and develop a transparency plan going forward.

Lesson learned: Never sell any of your company if you want to remain in control of it.

And now we know that you can’t (or won’t) read. That’s ok. But I do think that we’ve exhausted the possibilities of this conversation.

Fuck off. Stop assuming that you know anything about me, foolish asshole.

Now that the BLUF is out of the way, and I know that you've read and understood my comment, I'll do you a solid to show that there are no hard feelings. You're blocked.

My "opinion" is not wrong. It is scientific fact. Adolescent development is an area of my professional study.

Are there abused children in the world? Yes. Are their brains well-enough developed to make any lifelong decisions? No. That doesn't mean that they don't deserve help. It does mean that they are not mature enough to understand the ramifications of a no-contact decision.

I don't wanna sound condescending, but please base your own opinions in fact.

It isn’t really. But you are, of course, entitled to your opinion.

With respect, 16 year old brains are not physically developed enough to make that decision. It’s why we don’t let them vote.

Things may look different today. I stand by my suggestion.
