If a person has never felt true empathy directed toward them, they may never develop the capacity to extend it to others. Instead, they view interactions as transactional - love, respect, and loyalty are bought, coerced, or demanded, rather than freely given and received.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

George Washington became the leader of the Revolution b/c people trusted him, he had been a soldier before, knew how to lead an army. American colonies needed someone strong and brave to fight. He didn’t want to be in charge, but he believed in freedom and so, he stepped up and won independence.
