I think our oath to support and defend the constitution is still in effect, little matter that we are no longer on active duty. Our oath is solemn, not to be taken lightly, and is binding until our last breath.
That is how I am interpreting it in my own case.
@Possum63 as a veteran myself, i consider the oath still in force.
Please take good care of that incredible brain and very empathic heart, ML. 💙🫂
I hope to see you return. I will carry the lessons I gained from your contributions over these last years.
I wanted to share a favorite beach pic with everyone and then found a bunch from 2012, all at Old Orchard Beach Maine

Hey New Eggs-
This place is different. Ask questions. We’re usually nice here if you are. Use hashtags liberally
Sorry, no algorithm here. You’ll have to go exploring to find cool people. It won’t be that hard. It throws people off but it’s better really.
Create filters. Block people you don’t like. Follow those you do. No bots. No ads.
If you find you like it here, go #CoSoPro so we can keep the lights on.
Oh and dig into the documentation, this place has so much more you can do than it first looks like.
Fun scavenger hunt:
- Find the entropy board
- Change to the more bird like view
- Find the #terminal
- Find out which countries are blocked
- Find the monitoring page
- Join a #CoSoCall
- Get verified
- Say hello to Jester
Good advice:
Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:

This may seem like an obvious point, but I am making it for myself as well as anyone else who might benefit.
Don’t spend ANY of your precious time and life force reading, watching, or listening to the glee of those who praise this election outcome.
Not everyone who voted for DJT is like this, of course.
But for those who are spitefully pleased? Turn them off in your mind.
They’ve gained so much—don’t give that part of you away.

@MrGoat That's one hell of a driedel! Is he like, Jewish Thor?
You’ve launched and cultivated a lovely community of good folks 🙂
Hey a heads up,
For all you folks that are thinking about going out into the rural country, to escape the cities, and "prep" for some believed coming disaster.
Just Don't
There are people that live there. We are mostly friendly to visitors, but DO NOT suffer fools. Do not cross fences. Open gates. Or walk and camp on land that is not yours. Ask nicely, be prepared to receive a NO.
Remember that State parks and National forests, and wilderness areas. Will never be your homestead.
overheard: This isn’t sore losing. I’ve been disappointed in elections before. This is the hard cold realization that the faith I had in who we are as Americans was a lie. That compassion for our neighbors being an American virtue, is a lie. That equality for everyone is a lie. I’m not mad, I’m hurt.
I lost my country to fanaticism and extremism just so a single rich man wouldn’t have to own up to the consequences of his actions.
Musk & Trump are now one & the same. Your Twitter data is Trumps now.
Here's how to mitigate:
1) Create a new Twitter account no identifying names etc.
2) Got to the account you're trying to obscure & change ur @/handle to make it available.
3). QUICKLY Go to the new account and change it's @handle to ur original @/handle
4). Deactivate your original account.
Eventually your original data will cycle out of their backups & nobody can take your handle.
It is done >
My favorite response to "How are you?": Sitting up taking nourishment thank you. That is a success right there:)
