@kvlly I struggle with this too. Sometimes I feel like the only way I can progress with anything is become obsessed with it for 3-6 months, then burn out. 🥲

@Xero Thanks, the outage is over and I managed to log in to cancel!

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@Xero - I would like to cancel my Xero subscription. Your system is currently down and I can't log onto the platform, and I can't request support without logging into the platform. 😐 Please assist.

@kaisdavis He says "Mrrewwr?"

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@DebMecca Been very curious about it. My therapist offers it but they prefer me finding another provider.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@kaisdavis Yaarrrrrchive!

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@AndyTheGiant @Shopify Agreed... deeply problematic individual. I don't pay attention to him overall, but those images are shocking.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@Xero, I'm sorry, but your user experience is just awful. I go crazy with confusion and anxiety whenever I try to do the most basic things.

I'll be moving to @freshbooks next month, after 3 years with Xero. They are a fraction of the price for a more user-friendly product.

@NatAlleyCat Oh, I we were originally talking about that video. 😂

I think that, at the level this person needs to be to testify at a hearing like that, we can give her more responsibility, and she could probably find work somewhere less ethically fraught.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Protect other people. </thread> I think. ☺️

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Yep. And that's my priority - staying sane. And looking after myself and people close to me.

Maybe I have to play the game of capitalism to do so, and maybe I'm not entirely happy with it at all times. But keeping perspective is so important.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Again, no arguments here. :)

I feel like we could spin off a whole other discussion about breaking the system, but I do actually need to get some work done today. 🤣

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Oh gods, I hope you weren't thinking I was calling JBP morally upright. 🤣

He definitely believes he is, of course. And that's my point.

I've seen a lot of senseless harm done in the name of moral and ethical uprightness, so we have to be careful.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat I think it's good and awesome that there are people doing the work and trying to make changes at whatever level they can, though.

Maybe collateral damage is impossible, but I think we should also try to avoid it if we can.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat It is very messy.

Speaking for myself, I think it's better not to try to cognitively unpick all of the potential cause/effect relationships of this hyper-problem. It feels like it can only be so productive, and in many ways it's actually harmful for me.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat No arguments here!

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat This. Politics should be boring and I'm suspicious and resentful when it tries to be flashy.

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Calls for moral and ethical uprightness is great and all, but what's behind it matters. (Case in point: Old Jordan Peterson really likes the idea of moral and ethical uprightness)

[Quintin Schnehage.psd @WeCallHimQ]

@NatAlleyCat Honestly, I guess I hate being told what to do, even if it's being told to do the right thing. 🤣 That's very much a me problem, I'm sure.

But seriously, I guess my style is to move from compassion and understanding and creating safety and support, rather than doing combat.
