I don't get drunk easily and I would never allow myself to.
However, I've recently noticed that alcohol does have an effect on me, which is that I become less cynical towards people.
That's nice from time to time, but also another reason to be careful with alcohol. It's a balancing act...

Wir werden niemals weitere evolutionäre Fortschritte machen, wenn wir nicht anfangen, systematisch auf ALLEN Ebenen von Gesellschaft zu verhindern, dass Größere Kleinere tyrannisieren.

DAS ist "nature's law": Fortschritt/Weiterentwicklung wird nur dann möglich, wenn wir unser Gewaltproblem stabil und dauerhaft lösen.

I always find awesome how people are more relaxed and friendly when weather conditions are not so good #snow #winteriscoming #winter #friendliness

At first, amiability looks like a common-sense “things I learned in kindergarten” virtue.

But when does our obligation to be agreeable and tolerant get eclipsed by our obligation to insist on better standards of behavior or our disgrace at being associated with shameful behavior?

Does a standard of amiability mean you smile and nod politely when someone tells a racist joke, for example?

@talia_christin. Patience with those folks.

Once they figure out how to find their tweeps here, they keep feet in both places.

I'm still in both places & everyone I follow isn't here yet. I'm excited to meet new people but not by giving up on the old. So my plan is to stay in both places until I'm satisfied important tweeps are here. I only follow 5000 pple on #birdsite.

I'm just saying be helpful. The newness & #friendliness is what makes this place nice. Let's keep it that way.

It is a distinctly friendly city, noticed it when I first moved here from Perth. Not what you expect from a big city, but there’s something in the air. An echo from Melbourne’s early prosperous gold rush years perhaps?

Mate, have you heard? Melbourne is the friendliest city https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/mate-have-you-heard-melbourne-is-the-friendliest-city-20221204-p5c3jo.html

Did anyone else watch #60Minutes episode “Survival of the friendliest“ with the dogs?
Fascinating look at the genetics and evolution of dogs' friendliness. 🐶🥰

I want to express sincere gratitude as a #mastodon #newbie to the more established users, who were happily #tooting before the #TwitterExodus & #TwitterMigration kicked right off. The #WarmWelcomes to the #newcomers like me, & the kind offers of #MastodonTips #patience & general #friendliness are genuinely appreciated

Personally speaking, this has made getting involved with my own #tooting & feeling #connected much easier, which is kind of a #BigDeal for me as a #neurodiverse #ActuallyAutistic person

#thanks 💛✌️

@smbsy We saw the exact same thing happening a few days ago in a cafe where we were drinking, and a new customer coming in noticed a bee on the window sill. It was put outside on a terrace table with a bit of sugar water.
It may have been too cold, but the sun was shining on and off, so maybe it warmed up enough to get back to its nest or a safer place.

4 years ago, I pinned a post saying that I’m hooked on Todon and that I was here to stay. I ended up staying on and off for about 2 years. After that, it must have seemed that I had vanished into cyberspace 😇.
Nevertheless, I came back. I was lucky enough to be able to retrieve my old account and by the looks of things, I won’t be leaving again.
While M*sk was the trigger, there’s a more fundamental reason that explains why I feel at home om #Mastodon.
I admit to being a boomer. The first time I went online was during the late 90-ties. At that time aliases and privacy were the norm. We all abode by the #nettiquette. The internet was a relatively safe space then. Netizens uttered different opinions back then. But we had civil discussions. We learned from each other. In short, it was a friendlier place. Pre-Google and pre-Facebook and Twitterless. #Mastodon seems to abide by the same standards: #friendliness and #nettiquette. That works for me! And that’s why I’ll stick around this time!
