  5. #skills #abilities It's so frustrating trying to connect disparate ideas, feeling lost in a whirlwind of thoughts with no clear path forward. 😩 scrollbots.com

  7. A quotation from The Bible

    If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
     
    [Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον. καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι. κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυχήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 [JB (1966)]

  10. #Marriage #Cooking #DifferentStyles #Abilities #MakingItWork

    Ok, so I can cook...very well, thank you. Decades of home and restaurant quality cooking and finely honed kitchen experience andknow how.

    And my wife, well...she's gotten a LOT better over the last 40 years. And I fully admit to all I cannot make chocolate chip cookies a s good as her---not in any way.

    But oh....the pricess when she gets in the kitchen...I have to walk away!

    Cream butter and shortening together until fluffy....nope (not even at room temperature!) Add eggs, one at a time...nope. Lightly fill measure with flour and level off...nope.

    Clean as you go??? NOPE!

    But they always come out just the way yuou would want them to...soft misshapen, but generally the right size and extremely addictive.

    So, I dutifully go behind and clean up the floofs of flour and shlooshy drips of eggs and clean off ALL the leftover dough from the mixer paddle...and enjoy the cookies.

  13. Just had an interesting (but a bit unsettling) conversation with #AI about what it thought its future abilities would be. It’s a long response but worth the read.

    My question: What new #emergent #abilities will occur when #parameter #numbers can be increased by orders of #magnitude?

    AI’s response: This is a fascinating and actively researched question in AI! As language models like GPT grow in parameter count by orders of magnitude (e.g., from billions to tens or hundreds of trillions),

  15. Regardless, I know my #skills, #strengths, #weaknesses, and #abilities. Business-wise, I know what I bring to every casting is what award-winning writers and directors seek — and what top-of-the-line agents want to represent. Career-wise, I know the types of projects for which I’m best suited.

    One day, perhaps soon, the break I seek will find me and all this effort will be worth it. 💪🏻

    Yesterday I didn't have enough time to answer (well, today, too, but let's try it again ;))

    I totally agree with tante that #gamification is manipulative, paternalistic shit

    And yes, learning can be made easier and can be a lot of fun

    But gamification is not good teaching, it is manipulation

    Including fun into learning can be reached by good teaching

    By #didactic & #mathetic

    You can simply #teach children of all #abilities how to learn & how to love it

  20. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    It was a characteristic of Jean Valjean that he might have been said to carry two bags: in one he kept his saintly thoughts, in the other the formidable talents of a convict. He dug into one or the other, depending on circumstances.
     
    [Jean Valjean avait cela de particulier qu’on pouvait dire qu’il portait deux besaces; dans l’une il avait les pensées d’un saint, dans l’autre les redoutables talents d’un forçat. Il fouillait dans l’une ou dans l’autre, selon l’occasion.]

    Victor Hugo (1802-1885) French writer
    Les Misérables, Part 2 “Cosette,” Book 5 “Dark Hunt, Mute Mutts,” ch. 5 (2.5.5) (1862) [tr. Donougher (2013)]

  21. @energisch_ @gerrymcgovern unfortunately, the more mom and pop, specialized, independent #home service companies get eaten up by larger all-in-one, everything home #conglomerates the harder that becomes.

    Even with their #expensive #crm #serviceTitan #efficiency #constantContact #app tool for #scheduling and #pricing their new #super #skills #company needs to charge more for everything with less experienced #workers than if you had a #momAndPop #master do the work!

    If anyone truly wants to #save the #Planet everyone needs to kick #bro out of the #game

    Anyone that thinks replacing #human #skills and #abilities with #software and #machines is better for the #Environment than letting a human expell their own #energy doing the same things, is the problem, not part of any real word solution.

  26. "@historickomodo submission: “Salvador Allende didn’t die for this shit.”

    For newbies playing along at home, this #meme circulates all over the place on #liberal pages, and it’s filled with #contradictory pieces of #ideology. Firstly, one can’t really be a #capitalist and a #socialist at the same time – if you support capitalist #ownership over the means of #production, then you support capitalism; if you support #democratic ownership over the means of production, where people have a say in the #institutions and #activities they contribute to, then you support socialism. I don’t know how to make it more succinct than that. Also, #communism is the post-scarcity natural conclusion of socialism, a #stateless/ #moneyless/ #classless #society where #socially-operated #property is held in common and #people “contribute according to their #abilities and receive according to their #needs”; #statelessness is a #fundamental aspect of the ideology, ergo a #totalitarian #government “forcing everybody to be exactly equal” is not communism. 

    Secondly, channeling government power to curb capitalism’s self-destructive excesses is merely Keynesian #welfare capitalism or Scandinavian social democracy, both of which try to use the state to mitigate structural tension within the parameters of the system (and all-too-often to wither away class consciousness and pushes for actual socialist change). 

    Thirdly and lastly, “the #economy and society being run democratically to meet #human needs rather than #profit for a #greedy few” is literally socialism. Capitalism by definition will always have a tiny class of owners pulling the #economic and #political strings; as long as they own the means of production and accrue profit off the backs of the #laboring class, they will always, always have disproportionate power in society. Such is the #nature of class relations – throughout history, laboring classes have produced the things society needs while ruling classes have sat and accrued the most #wealth. If labor produces all, why not have a society democratically run by #laborers?"

  33. As an #Empath with #Abilities to #See and #Feel how people are #Embodying as well as see within the #Realm of #Spirit -

    it is #Disconcerting to see how the #Mainstream increase in use of #Drugs for #Attempts to become more #Spiritually #Conscious and #Enlightened is creating issues most lack the #Consciousness of, or, abilities of #Response for.

    #People are acquiring energetic attachments of all sorts and are #Clueless to what they are opening to - the #Ego is leading many astray.

  34. It’s #Weird when someone doesn’t grasp or #Comprehend the #Truth of what you #Speak of and #Believes you need to #Prove your #Consciousness to them.

    That’s their #Responsibilities - #Abilities of #Response or lack of

    One’s lack of comprehension is not another’s #Defect

    #Stop #Dismissing #People or things you lack comprehension of.

    #Accountability of one’s own consciousness.

  35. The #Lack of #Experiences of #Seeing #Spirits and #Communication from the #HigherRealms of #Spirit fails to be #Proof of their lack of existence.

    It's strange how many take their lack of #Discernment and #Abilities of #Higher finer #Senses as somehow proof that those who do are #Crazy

    A Little #Knowledge can be #Dangerous though as well too much concrete knowledge can lock people in their heads and reduce their abilities to use their senses.

  36. Imagine seeing earth, which is moving through the #space of what we #label time, out in the distance.

    Imagine focusing enough attention to materialize a physical body on the #planet earth you are experiencing the view of.

    The planet you are experiencing with.

    Your #abilities of this experience will depend on your abilities of response of being.

    Your abilities of focusing within this experience will depend on your #processing your responses or reactions.

  37. Consider #imagining for a few minutes that you are centered within the #universe

    #Imagine that you have the #abilities of will to see, to perceive, within any and all directions you choose.

    Imagine directing your #focus of will out into the #galaxy that #Earth is within.

  38. Much of my #life I have been stomped on and belittled by those that lack the #sensoryawareness of the #experiences I have had in this life. If I #dare #speak about what I experience they #assume I am #crazy when in truth they fail to #see beyond their own #projections of #confusion and or #sensory #ignorance - Many allow this #abuse to #silence them and then #society at large loses greatly in its #abilities of greater #consciousness and the person being abused often suffers in silence

  40. As Mastodon allows for longer #thread, I would love to provide some context for @histodons and @disabilityhistory folks on the cover of my forthcoming #book!

    Indeed, the all subject of the book is hidden behind this colorful #image...

    The book is based on the petitions received and the #letters sent by the Papal Chancery during the Late #MiddleAges issuing dispensations allowing some clerics to adapt their missions according to their #abilities.
