I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.
Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

seems to me the main reason bluesky has a lot of desperately unhappy people freaking out about politics and world affairs on it instead of being like twitter was in the middle of the last decade is that you are using and discussing it in 2025 instead of in the middle of the last decade

Despite our record of excellence managing browns for the last 54 years, our reliability working in the trenches, and decades of experience building systems from the ground up, no, we are not in the running for Cleveland's next head coach.
Thank you.

I realized that I don't often just share an opinion here, opting instead to respond all the time.
Let's change that.
Opinion:
Becoming a US citizen should be EASY (or at least much easier) and should not depend AT ALL on how someone came here in the first place.
