We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mister Krushchev said, "We will bury you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence
SCOOP: Vice President Harris tested positive for Covid-19, per White House official. Statement to come soon
I believe:
- That every person is a person. Period.
- People are impacted by their genetics, upbringing and culture and can do little to change the past
- People are refined or damaged by their education based on the truthfulness of the content
- Everyone can improve. Some can do so better than others
- Improvement takes courage. Some have more than others. Everyone has that choice. Your amount of courage is not static
- Nothing in the world can impact an adult unless they let it inside
For those wondering why photos taken from a phone might be rotated incorrectly when posting:
CoSo strips all EXIF data while uploading (for your safety and privacy). Among other things, that data may include rotation info, and wiping that out may cause your photos to un-rotate. This is a known bug, on the list to be addressed down the line.
To correct in the short term, make a small edit to your photo of any type, save that copy, and upload again.
OK, so how about a round of applause for @th3j35t3r and all of the tireless folks on the backend providing us with this platform. It matters to thank people. Do I say "Please retweet" or "Please reTOOT..." No clue rn lol #CoSoNaut #CoSoRocks
"Trump says he won’t rejoin Twitter. Some advisers don’t believe him."
"Jason Miller, a former top Trump adviser who runs his own conservative-friendly social network Gettr, said he believes Trump has no interest in returning to a platform he argues suffers from “a cultural problem … of political discrimination.”"

There are lots of new people so I’ll post an article on #Netiquette as a friendly reminder.
Welcome 🙏 CoSo is a great community and one of the best things about being here is that we try to be decent and respectful people.
These are some good guidelines, in general.
Things to remember:
1) This is NOT Tw*tter
2) @th3j35t3r is but one being, and is the front-end, back-end, UX, UI, and sole-facilitator of this amazing place. Have patience.
Kisses.

I just read this passage this morning in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. I think it applies well to CoSo.
Maybe it's a good message for our new flood of members today? #introductions #introduction
*********************
"Two characteristics shared by gods and men (and every rational creature):
i. Not to let others hold you back
ii. To locate goodness in thinking and doing the right thing, and to limit your desires to that
Again - welcome, to all newcomers.
There are too many too quickly for us to welcome individually, and I feel bad for breaking this tradition.
You'll find CoSo is different, it's more mature, we value conversations, not likes, friendships, not followers, civility, not shouts.
Disagreements may happen, but we tend to resolve them as people, not as clashing faceless avatars.
So, jump on in, interject into any conversation that sounds interesting, and if you haven't done so, introduce yourself
