Well worth investigating...

Those of us who know and understand the monumental undertaking you've had to undergo, judge you not. Rather, we wish we could take some of the load off your shoulders to give you a break.
It's a much used cliché, but true; "Good things come to those who wait." We wait, patiently. 💜
I’m Going to have to update my lists with so many new and great people, arriving!
If you haven’t done it already, create lists on your desktop version. You can make “Best of Lists” favorite Hashtag lists, etc.
Pinning these as columns allows you to see everything at a glance., like in TweetDeck.
In the mobile apps, it’s a bit different. The Firehose is the default, although you can swipe left or right to see your columns.
To learn how to make lists see the user guide ! #CSTips #Cosotips
Ok, maybe the last video was too intense for some. Admittedly, I am eclectic & passionate. Here's a classic oldie that is, sadly, relevant today:
It saddens me to realize that, after serving in the US Army in (then) W. Germany before the Wall fell, while Russia was in E. Germany /Afghanistan (a place we should've known better than to go, ourselves), we were on the front lines of the end of the Cold War...and here we are again.
Have we learned nothing?

Awesome imagery and a strong message...

Good afternoon and welcome new folks!
Here’s some coffee and snacks as a housewarming gesture 💛

Enjoy!
@Dadlaz I found the best way is to follow people whose posts engage you. It's not as much a thing here. And everyone can see you in the community firehouse. Enjoy!
A few things I've noticed about this platform that I enjoy:
There's been few, if any, people 'begging for followers' since I've been here. I like this because it encourages people to build by actually reading, rather than counting.
Also, I've not seen people dragging their depressing stories of misery, suffering and misfortune here, whether it be for sharing or for pity. Personally, I find it repulsive to ruin other peoples' days with tragedy. Some things should be kept private.
My 2 cents...
Let’s have some fun with math!
The budget for the department of defense is $728 BILLION dollars
There are 40,000 {aprox} homeless veterans in the US
The estimated cost of housing and utilities for one person in the US is aprox $1,500
If we took $10 billion out of JUST this years DoD budget, we could house EVERY homeless veteran for over 160 years.
wasn’t that fun?
Welcome, all newcomers.
Our tradition is to welcome people as we see their 1st post, but there are just too many of you.
You'll find we're not like traditional social media - we're friendly and prefer conversation over engagement.
Follower counts? likes? boost (retoot) count? Yeah, they exist here, but they don't amount to a hill of beans.
The friends you can make here are what matter.
