Several decades ago, there was a movement in the model railroading hobby called "good enough". It came from the idea that layouts will always be handicapped by space and you would never be able to fully model a 1:1 scene of any sufficient length. In order to make the layout/scene look "good enough" to the average person, many tricks of the trade are employed like forced perspective (HO scale train up front, a smaller N scale train mid-scene, and maybe an even smaller Z scale train running in the very back), selective compression (like a factory that has 8 chimneys only being modeled with 5), mirrors (to extend the scene through the wall!), hidden helixes (so the train "runs" a certain period of time between cities/scenes/timeframes), etc.
My use of social media is "good enough" for me. I do not optimize what I post based on the "best practices" currently out there for the various sites; I post what I want, how I want. As a result, I make approximately zero cents on those few sites I'm on that take donations or do revenue sharing; and I'm happy with that as that was never my goal. I enjoy posting short, daily blurbs and weekly video podcasts (usually a compilation of the week's posts) based on my concept of what makes up an Integrated Man. You can find me on Locals, Parler, Thinkspot, Rumble, BitChute, and LinkedIn, and of course at TheIntegratedMan.net where some of them even accept your donations or subscriptions. :-)

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
