Virtue begins by shunning vice; wisdom
By shunning folly.

Of course that is what lawyers will do - and muddying the waters is a legitimate if unfortunate consequence in this case. The question for Tice (which he will be avoiding) is Did you do it you slimy bastard?

Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
[μετὰ ἄφρονος μὴ πληθύνῃς λόγον
καὶ πρὸς ἀσύνετον μὴ πορεύου·
φύλαξαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ κόπον ἔχῃς
καὶ οὐ μὴ μολυνθῇς ἐν τῷ ἐντιναγμῷ αὐτοῦ·
ἔκκλινον ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρήσεις ἀνάπαυσιν
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκηδιάσῃς ἐν τῇ ἀπονοίᾳ αὐτοῦ.]The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 22:13 (Sir 22:13) [tr. KJV (1611)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bible-ot/85065/

Been in this house four years, and only just now have finally properly organised my home office desk by:
- put my monitor arms back,
- organised all the cables properly under and above,
- dug up some memorable items from past trips to put on view,
- and just made it feel properly organised and usable.Also in part driven by replacing my monitors in a special that @decryption spotted.
Now to keep it that way.

About a third of the way in is where I stall and have to restart - where's your quit spot? What keeps you going?

Group Hysteria continues to grip the USA.
When are they going to run out of things to avoid #Epstein? They have tied killing people in the US as well as overseas, they have tried war, ex members of the administration are being sacked (#Bondi) or prosecuted (#Comey), they have appointed an ignorant troglodyte to run the US health administration (#Kennedy) and a drunk to run the #FBI (#Patel). Now it is UFOs. Next cancel elections?

Both are #pacification tools.

Avoidance is contact refused
before it can answer.A turn away
to prevent completion.Energy doesn’t disappear—
it circles.What is avoided
does not end. -

...my mother was the kind of person who would declare "burntness is good for you" ...instead of just admitting she left the #food unattended for too long.
...suffering through burnt dinners instead of correcting the cause is what #arrogance and #accountability #avoidance looks like in simple terms.

Good morning. 🍂🍂🍂
18 October 2025
We went and got our annual flu shot yesterday. You can’t be too careful these days. It was a painless event, though my wife mentioned feeling a bit icky later in the evening. Since we were already dressed, we decided to eat at a Chinese buffet. That’s both good and bad. I can usually find the kinds of food I should be eating—but then there’s dessert. I love the apple pie and vanilla ice cream. That’s my downfall. I know it’s there, and all I have to do is get up and go get it.
Most of my success in avoiding things that aren’t good for me comes down to one strategy: don’t have it around. If ice cream is in the house and I know it, I’m going to raid it. If it’s not in the house, all I can do is complain about not having any—which I do, but not seriously.
Once upon a time, many years ago while I was in the Army, I smoked cigarettes. Not the smartest habit, but back then a lot more people smoked than do today. I was stationed in Germany and wanted to quit, but quitting is hard. We had ration cards for items that could fuel a black market, and cigarettes were among them. Each year we received a new card, and every time we bought cigarettes, the cashier would mark off a spot. To help myself quit, I marked off all the cigarette rations on my card so I couldn’t buy any. It didn’t stop me overnight, but it made a real dent in the habit.

Every time you avoid conflict to “keep the peace,” you’re not just staying quiet—you’re sending your nervous system the message that self-advocacy is dangerous. Over time, this leads to heightened anxiety around confrontation and a belief that your voice is unsafe. But this pattern can be unlearned. #avoidance #trauma #healing #conflict #fighting

#Fascist #Florida #Governor #RonDeSantis Snubs #VicePresident #KamalaHarris’s #HurricaneRelief #Calls for the #Dumbest #Reason.
DeSantis is dodging the Harris' calls to #coordinate #HurricaneRelief after #HurricaneHelene and ahead of #HurricaneMilton’s impending landfall. His #avoidance seems aimed at creating a #weapon for #Republicans to use in the 2024 #Election #Campaign. Essentially, DeSantis is #PlayingPolitics with people's lives.
