@Coffee_and_Salt Now *that* is what you call a good review! So glad you found coso and that we met.

I have social anxiety.

I don’t talk to strangers, don’t hang in groups, don’t do basic things most people do in terms of socializing. I don’t say a percentage of what I’m thinking even when it’s totally reasonable to share.

Know what can really mess up a person with social anxiety? Social media. 🫠

But here, I don’t really have that issue. I’ve encountered people I’ve become friends with.

It helps counter the social anxiety.

So thanks to CoSo, its creators and continuators.

You’re a gift.

I already posted my Happy Birthday message earlier, but one thing I didn't do was celebrate this birthday together with the friends I've met since the day CoSo went public.

Some have been friends since Day 1, others in the weeks & months afterwards and still others in the years that followed. But those of you I consider friends all share the connection that I wouldn't know if if CoSo hadn't come about. I'm grateful for all of you, and here's to many more years of friendship 🍻 ❤️ 🎉

Happy B'day to CoSo!

I haven't been here for all 7 years, but I have been around long enough to get the golden checkmark. I've never regretted making the move.

Thanks to everyone for the support over the past few years, and thanks to @th3j35t3r for putting this place together.

2025 is going to suck, but it can also be amazing for those of us fighting against the tide.

Remember: Innocent until proven guilty.

Oh! I picked up a fun little nugget of knowledge too! Apparently there's a law in indiana that you can turn someone in for "intimate images" (*ahem* the unwanted pics us ladies receive). Can be a misdemeanor or a level 6 felony.

Excellent advice going forward. I use TFG as opposed to 45 as the use of 45 reinforces that he was ever qualified to be one and dishonors the position. #TFG #politics #sanity

Happy 7th Birthday, CoSo! Thank you @th3j35t3r for creating an awesome and safe virtual space for all of us. We really appreciate it! 🥳

I wouldn't want to chat, debate, or converse anywhere else with anybody else! 😁 There's no place like "home" (CoSo).

It feels like you folks are my only real connection to society.

Happy Birthday #CounterSocial and thank you @th3j35t3r.

@InvaderGzim That racist fear the other side is vomiting all over the damn place makes all societies go backward if it isn’t contained and stopped.

@InvaderGzim I'm trying to imagine what it must feel like for Mr. Takei to see this shit happen _twice_.

Could have sworn that society was supposed to move forward....😔😔😔

My wife says she wants beef Stroganov Hamburger Helper for dinner tonight. Why TF not? We used to eat that a lot when we were first married. Rumaki, too. I haven't had that in decades.

Sign up is quick and easy. They give you the message and addresses, you supply postcards and stamps. No postcards on hand? Index cards, cereal boxes cut to size. Easy peasy.
