Welcome Twitter refugees. CoSo is a different kind of social media. Its not perfect, because there is no such thing. People dis agree here. People discuss politics and everything else. The key to CoSo is 1. Don't be a dick. 2. The everything else is an important factor. Discuss things. Be KIND. Or will happen. And this is a good place. Cool your jets. Crack your egg.
@QueenPhillippa It's likely already been mined from the months of Russian occupation, but I'd defer to @Render for a more informed opinion.
No matter what happens, #KeepCoSoWeird
@LiseL Challenge accepted.
I like tatertots.
@Keysalagain Countless. I remember there were always piles of them at the checkout counter for Sam Goody, Blockbuster, Spencers, and Electronics Boutique. Shoot, for the longest time, it was a best practice to always have 2-3 discs stashed in case you needed to create an account to try out a new BBS! 🕵️
@Keysalagain Talk about a blast from the past....

@th3j35t3r Don't they have a new CEO that's 'sposed to be running things now? Why's Elon still spouting off, can't keep his chicken-chokers to himself?

Dear chief Justice, STFU with the whining about how people need to respect SCOTUS.
Respect has to be earned, and your court is dominated by authoritarian assholes who are attempting to turn the legal clock back a century or more. We can see that quite easily.
When your court starts becoming acquainted with the modern world, you might get some respect. Until you do that, no chance, and keep quiet.
@Synical 💔 The 'active shooter' question just floored me! You need to do what is best for your family. I'm sorry you served to defend and protect the rights that are now being stripped away. I descend from the Greatest Generation. Their honor won't be stomped on by evil.
@ReneeVoiceBrand We've talked about it. One of the first questions the kids asked: "Do they have active shooter drills at schools in ______?" For us, home is wherever family is - one of the byproducts of moving around so much while my spouse and I served. Now it's starting to come down to Maslow's hierarchy, on where we feel safe.
@RationalLeft I think it was intended more as a tongue in cheek reference to the affirmative action decision earlier this week, pointing out the disconnect between not only precedence, but recent decisions in general.
@ReneeVoiceBrand Great points, Renee - but I'm tired. Our family is multi-cultural, I have a transgender sibling, LGBTQIA+ children, and we used to consider ourselves "American."
But the "America" of today is beginning to look more and more like what we used to read about during the fight for civil rights, the push by Germany's DNVP in the 1930s that led to Hitler, and Bosnia in the mid-90s.
Guess those that ignore history in pursuit of power are dooming us to repeat it once more.
I like alternative/hard rock & just about anything except country. Interested in books & gaming.
