In my experience, REALLY good, juicy, deep quality things are built over ridiculously long amounts of time and through anything but a straight line. Like caring, resilient, and healthy interpersonal relationships and teams. Like deep, meaningful, mutually beneficial, and respectful client and vendor partnerships. Like robust, easy to use, purpose-built operational software enabled with transformational AI 😉 Like personal and company reputations. None of these things are ever destined for perfection (and mistakes are most certainly made along the way) but, in my experience, the point is in the journey. The journey to find joy, fulfillment, and meaning in the daily practices of listening, dreaming, serving, connecting, engaging, collaborating, creating, iterating, forgiving, trying, failing, learning, laughing, and evolving (and if you are me, dressing up and dodging email lol). I’ve known Gary Jones and Evan Kuo for (what seems like) a ridiculously long amount of time. I always felt like I would work with both of them at some point in my career in senior living and that day is now here. Their individual commitments to senior living, kickin’ ass, and having fun have won my heart over for many years but seeing them become integrated into a company and team that I love dearly has proven more fulfilling that I could have imagined. ALIS is a software experience like nothing else. That can ONLY happen because it has a team that is like nothing else. PEOPLE matter. The WHY matters. The HOW matters. It is definitely not easy (or trendy) to sustain a deep commitment to quality and the long-term health of an industry, a company, its team, its clients, and its products. Nor is it for the faint of heart. But it’s certainly worth it. It's worth it to build out a place in time and space where people can grow as humans and professionals and connect as a team. It's worth it to be a part of clients’ dedication to their staff and residents and their commitment to evolving to support and empower both. It's worth it to see and experience the transformational effect of delivering awesome technology paired with heartfelt service to a deserving industry. I’m proud everyday of our WHOLE team at Medtelligent and now I’m happy to say that includes two more good and juicy humans. 🧡 💛 🦋 🦋

Body count matters: • Women are delusional to think body count doesn’t matter and men should overlook it and wived them. • Men are territorial and the thoughts of all the other men inside their women sicken them. • Men preferred virgin or near virgin because they are pure or close to pure, and they have exclusive right to plant their seeds. • Women with low body counts are submissives and teachable in bed. • Women represent them and it affects their reputation. • Men are ashamed to introduce their girlfriends (high bodies count) to their friends, families, and acquaintances. • Mainly trust issues, men can not trust their promiscuous women from cheating on them (can’t be with them 24/7)? • Men do not want to feel inadequate and be compared to all the other men that may pipe her correctly and she keep reliving her sexual experience mentally. Making her incapable of pair bonding. • Men fear the mental state of women who feel they have been used and tossed away like garbage by men and yes men are aware of the Crazies, like Lorena Bobbitt, Jodi Arias, and Valerie Rosario just to name a few. Beside what the different between dating porn stars, prostitutes, or call girls if bodies count doesn’t matters. The difference are porn stars, prostitutes, or call girls get paid and promiscuous women riding the carousel for free. How can a mother teach morals to her kid/kids and not bring shame and embarrassment to her family? What if the kid’s friends make fun of them because their mother is promiscuous? Beside women find men with high bodies count experienced, desirable by other women (prize worth competing for), and would "lay their pipe" * right but men find women with high body count to be dirty, ran through, 304, and are ashamed to call them girlfriends much less wives them. Definitely not to bring them to meet the families, friends, or acquaintances. You've outlined various reasons why body count might matter to men, including: 1. Territorialism and exclusivity 2. Desire for purity and exclusive rights 3. Association with submissiveness and teachability 4. Representation and reputation 5. Trust issues and fear of comparison 6. Concerns about mental health and pair bonding 7. Fear of being associated with promiscuity and potential shame You've also highlighted the perceived men's and women's preferences are different. 1. Men with high body counts are often seen as desirable and experienced 2. Women with high body counts are often stigmatized and shamed Additionally, you've touched on the importance of morals and family values: 1. Mothers teaching morals to their children 2. Avoiding shame and embarrassment for their family It's essential to acknowledge that: 1. Body count is a personal aspect, and judgments should be avoided 2. Communication, trust, and mutual respect are crucial in relationships 3. Double standards should be addressed and challenged 4. Individual values and beliefs should be respected

Being a cat is a big part of Stray’s vision. I usually talk about how a vision helps you say no to things, but it sometimes also helps you say yes to small features that enhance the feel of your vision. Meow. #gamedev #gamedesign #stray
