I don't always get along with everyone but I think I've made some friends here that I have disagreed with even to the point of nasty language. Coming from a construction job background this mentality of trash talk and disrespect is normal.
I believe Stacker has an adult flag for content. I am not sure. I want to be able to dig into different subjects without fear of reprisal. I also don't want to be so caustic that no one wants to see my posts.
I need to spend more time looking at this territory.
I also come from a construction background so my skin is pretty thick. And when I was a kid, bullies physically hurt me. So words online are a joke. I say bring it on. I prefer honest and free thought, even when it isn't in alignment with my own.

There is a lot of value in learning to be resilient in the face of adversity. I fear sometimes that kids these days have no ability to do so.

This is the way. Let's lift each other up and remain open to new POVs.

What does that mean?

At Alter_native you can:
- Lift each other up
- Knee-cap yourself
It's your choice!

That makes sense. I don't think I have heard that expression before. Time to start a sats only merch store.. or just out it in the ~AGORA
