Embrace, extend, and extinguish

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" (EEE), also known as "embrace, extend, and exterminate", is a phrase that the U.S. Department of #Justice found was used internally by #Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with #proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors.

yeah. therein, remembering the comedic epic-fails of communication and compatability between me and a friend. methinks she didnt get it, so i've taken my aquarian ass away for some space and time to recoup without that try-hard grief n stress n waste of energy.
and remembered annother couple friends from years back, where i had to hold my tongue a fair bit to not point out how epic-fail incompatible they were, n just let them figure it out on their own.
and another couple, another of these worst compatible signs, just fallen into a relationship of circumstance (methinks riding the matching mercury, and not a lot else), likewise having to hold my tongue, see if they manage to put in the attentive time and effort to learn to make it work, and keep working.
and reading that, made me feel better for running away from being a third example of a very #aquarian #aquarian with a #stellium in aquarius, stumbling into a likely doomed emotionally hurtful #relationship.

... and made me feel better for holding my tongue those two times (oh, 3 times,~ just thought of another couple, not relevant to this article), and letting them do the work to make it work or figuring out it wont work, on their own.
it's just different challenges to spiritually evolve with. there's always more going on in people's charts.
