I once saw a thread online between a brother and a racist.

They took turns cursing each other out.

At the end they started laughing with each other at what one of them had written.

Hope floats.

A quotation from Kucinich, Dennis:

«
We must overcome our fear of each other by seeking out the humanity within each of us. The human heart contains every possibility of race, creed, language, religion and politics. We are one in our commonalities. Must we always fear our differences?
»

A quotation from Martin, Judith:

«
Knowing that others have gone through similar tragedies may be a help, but it should be remembered that every tragedy is not only commonplace but also unique.

A quotation from Jerome, Jerome K.:

«
It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one.

Dear Fans and #Friends of others #bubbles,
As we may have #gathered, everyone's #experience, #priorities and view of #reality is VERY elephant ... eh wait ... #different. Despite this, we have a #commonality of #interchange, widely #accepted and #comprehensible.
Despite:
- #Different ages
- Many #languages
- Biases
- #Affiliations
- #Regional #Socialisation

AI (Awful Imbecility) is just a data sorting. Useful and also impractical for critical widened models of #context. Who knew that? Not #CheatGPT for Far Shore.

3 Really Excellent Things (aka #3GoodThings @3GoodThings)
1. Meeting really awesome people with common interests.
2. Realizing the holiday season can be happy when alone, and it’s not very alone, actually.
3. Loving the connectivity of all the dots. (Ok that is a bit vague, but so what!).
Have a great day, all!

Sadly most #identitypolitics are highly #exclusive, separating people by their believes, their nationality or the colour of their respective skin. These #divisive strategies might close the ranks on one side, but they also are likely to deepen existing rifts in #society. These strategies are deeply dysfunctional in democracies that rely on #compromise and #commonality rather than confrontation and submission. #resist #strongertogether https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/12/31/identity-politics-stories-that-shaped/

@arcans It's likely this inclusive nature of the English language, and the countries that primarily use it, that makes it uniquely suited to being the language most people choose to use for the "common" language.
