if we're new to a neighbourhood (especially if we arrive by the gazillions) and haven't contributed, we probably shouldn't complain while we learn the rules :)
@ProfSnarky Hope they feel better soon, my 16yo was really sick about a week, not a cold for sure. Better now, thankfully
"I would take another, I have a full grown man child who was once a very faint second line..." is something I wanted to say to the lady at the grocery store who thinks her covid test was a false positive. Eek.
@HeatherKat its a good reminder :) I love yours!!
Hear me out, a movie about a friends weekend in New York, but John Wick is just happening in the background. Maybe they get a last minute deal at the continental...I'd watch that 800 times.

Welcome new arrivals! For those of you who decide to adopt CoSo as your online home, this time of excitement & uncertainty, meeting new people and finding old friends from Tw, will become a special kind of memory. It will partially define your “generation” here.
Each wave has its own set of memories--from the earliest days, to public launch, until now.
Throughout, we all preserve the sense of goodwill and community that makes this place special even as it evolves and gets better.

What happens on CoSo?
Community happens.
Lot's of different communities, many overlap, and flow into one another. And just as in real life communities change and grow. So here we support you in creating your own, or jumping into an existing one.
Remember those rules you learned in kindergarten? They apply here as well.
Share.
Be kind.
No biting.
Naps.

It just occurred to me that for many, particularly the new arrivals there may be almost a hint of anxiety about connecting.
There is room for everybody, and the potential for awesome connections to develop in time.
Please don't feel a sense of urgency to get settled with tons of follows/followers.
CoSo is truly about the conversations and the reciprocity that comes with knowing and caring.
The music won't cut out and leave anyone stranded.

psssssst, newbies!
a lot of the older folk use keywords to filter out stuff we don't want to see. for example, the guy who just bought that other site.
if you wanna make a post about not-that, i suggest not using those specific keywords in your post, else you'll get caught by many folks' filters! :)
just talk about the stuff you *do* wanna talk about. s'good. :)
Any classic (to my 16yo) horror movies anyone wants to recommend? I’m a coward with no experience. They got a criterion channel subscription, which is pretty great so far.
@cmskiera ignorance is bliss ;)
keeping #dogsofsoco pinned at the side, because happiness :)
@Dina_A YES. If only that was where the money would go.

when you haven't travelled since before COVID, hotel prices are quite the shock.
