@Lindy Let me guess. The ballots were marked straight Republican ticket. 🙄
@MidnightRider @Anouk It's not really close. That's all smoke and mirrors but the fact that he's not in prison yet speaks volumes.
@MidnightRider Do you remember leaving the bird site (I'm assuming) and coming to CoSo? Do you remember how that felt, how we had to go through a decompression phase?
Well, losing power after a hurricane is like that. We reconnected with nature a bit and life just slowed down. We grilled out what thawed and ate with family at our picnic table in the driveway. We reconnected however briefly.
Modern life has a way of distancing us from what matters, of distracting us. Take that as you will.
@wolfwoman There's a structure to a URL. I can read that structure. If you'll send the original to me in a DM I'll take a look at it. I'm honestly curious why it didn't work. I expect it's a redirect URL is why.
@wolfwoman Yes, it may. Try that but still use nosanitize.
@MidnightRider What about all of the good things in life? Fine food, a first date, dancing, music, art. Who is responsible for them?
@WellWellWell3 @MidnightRider Yes it does. I live in Western NC and we are still recovering from Hurricane Helene. My family came through it relatively easily. We lost power and our frozen food but nothing more. Others lost everything. The damage is surreal.
But I don't feel the despair like you describe. I give those things over to God. I don't fully understand what happened and I ask the same why questions. We volunteered at our church to give out supplies. Helping others helps us.

Seven years ago, CounterSocial was still in beta. We had a handful of users interested in what we were trying to do and we set about drumming up interest to find more.
The premise then was as it is now: a social media experience that is COUNTER to the influence of malicious actors online. A haven that doesn't exploit, but instead allows YOU to be YOUR genuine self.
For seven years, we have been sustained by an amazing community who chips in to keep the servers online.

@Jorro @Tee_Lynn @Tacitus_Kilgore @th3j35t3r There are 13 more days. Hold on until then.
I have stopped tuning in whenever he is speaking and I suggest you do the same. After coming to CoSo I had to decompress from all the hatred and misinformation spewed online. It took a few months. Treat him the same way. You'll feel better.

So it's like this now.

@LordFentonGaming 👍 In many states it is illegal to post any part of your own ballot. Make sure you know the law before you post.
@Bliss I pray they don't need them. Better to over-prepare though. 🙏

Today my doe
Is far away
Down by the wall
of the far, far field
Down, down
By the edge of the wood
Moving away from me
Gently.
Knowing I am watching
Seeing me with her deepest gaze
At eyes-meet, we greet each other
Under the half-light
Of a soft sun
Shining through
A silver mist
Like the moon made new
Unblemished
Pale, and flying gentle
Into the morning blue
All like a page from a fairy tale
Like the memory of a dream.

@MidnightRider I think you overlooked that little word "we" as in "We The People".
Vote!

@Anouk Before they sell that car those ladies should go on a road trip. And take lots and lots of pictures. 😏
@Bobbelieu That's exactly what it is I think. I might have been off by a few decades.
