Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You are the only person you can control. And sometimes it's even hard to do that. Look I am a prick online sometimes too, but let's wait until after Nov 3 to go after each other. Please? 031
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026And if the best thing happens and there are no darker times, what was lost? You pulled your loved ones closer and strengthened and extended your bonds with others: something that almost all of us could use and find valuable. In the end, each other is all we’ve got! ❤️ 010
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026If that’s not the case, just don’t engage. I am sure you can find better things to do with your time than trolling. You aren’t helping. 110
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Respectful debate strengthens our communities. It means “I care enough about your ideas to listen to you, learn from you, and even change my mind.” 110
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Try not to bicker with each other. Jesus H Christ we have our differences and it’s fine, even good, to call out bad behavior or thinking. But do it respectfully, with good faith, and as kindly as you can muster. 110

Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026No one knows what is going to happen but we do know that we are going to need each other more than ever to thrive facing the rising tide of darkness and evil. We will need to lean on core values of Mutual Aid and Solidarity. 110

Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Many want to only have support for their dubious opinions. If they need emotional support that’s one thing but if they are talking about intellectual topics they presumably want engagement. Most Bluesky users are snowflakes. 000
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The election is ours in the bag if they don't try some other fuckery. But they know they are headed for investigations and possibly prison time if they keep losing elections so I expect trouble. This is a big test but 2028 is even bigger. If the Dems wrest Congress it might go okay. 000
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Obviously the original poster has no idea because they block any discussion on the topic. I never understand Blueskyers who post and then get mad when someone responds to what they say with anything other than vigorous agreement. What is the point of social media in the first place? 110
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026It’s pretty hard to build a consistent moral system without at least considering the divine. You can just stumble on with thinking that something is moral because your feelings tell you that it is. But that isn’t really a good basis for decisions beyond your own nose. 010
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Jefferson believed in god did you know that? He just wasn’t a Christian. Tolstoy had his own brand of Christianity where he switched out all the mumbo jumbo and denied all the miracles including the resurrection of Christ and just based morality on Christ’s actual teachings. 110
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In our age there is no such thing as "keeping out of politics." All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. -George Orwell 000

Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Did I just get blocked for saying that or is the original post removed by the author? 100
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Most liberals never actually get beyond that. And increasingly, most conservative as well. It's the root of most of our problems today. Since no one can reason beyond "I am right because I know that I am right!" no one can even get to square one in a discussion about morality. Like ths one! 100
Jim Ausman @ausman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Metaphysics is an important and valid way of understanding reality. Unless you rejec morality, it's the only way to really get there. And by there I mean a consistent set of moral principles to guide your actions more complex than "I just do what I know is right." 100
