Iโ€™m reposting this from earlier for the evening/morning shift on Coso ๐Ÿ‘‡:

-Alright Coso, you heard the boss. Start telling ppl/inviting others here. Just constantly talk about all the good things here and how awesome and genuine we are.

Then if youโ€™re able, go PRO and help support the site here. Lets do our part to help the captain ya? A ship runs smoothly when the crew helps sail the ship. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Re my computer "glitch":

I've eliminated the possibility of a quick, easy fix through normal Windows recovery options. I'm all backed up. So...

No more Mr. Nice Guy, I'm going old-school! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ ๐Ÿ’ช ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I still have to modernize a few of my "tools," but I'm about ready to wipe the hard drive and install from scratch. Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'll end up with a dual-boot or multi-boot setup running Win 11 Pro and at least one flavor of Linux. ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ˜‹

@ceorl To distinguish between a civil, thoughtful user and a troll or sealion on a text-based social media platform, here are some conversational cues to look out for: 1. **Engagement with Ideas**: A civil user is likely to engage in discussions by sharing their thoughts, opinions, and reasoning in a respectful manner. They may ask questions to seek understanding or challenge ideas constructively. A troll, on the other hand, may resort to personal attacks, inflammatory language, or intentionally disrupt conversations without contributing meaningfully. 2. **Consistency**: A good faith user is more likely to maintain a consistent tone and stay on topic during discussions. They may provide evidence or sources to support their arguments. Trolls may exhibit inconsistent behavior, often changing their stance or resorting to extreme positions to provoke reactions. 3. **Respect for Others**: Civil users typically show respect for other participants in the conversation, even when disagreements arise. They listen to opposing viewpoints, acknowledge valid points, and avoid derogatory language. Trolls may exhibit rude behavior, use insults, or target individuals personally to incite conflict. 4. **Intent to Learn or Educate**: A thoughtful user may demonstrate a genuine interest in learning from others or educating them about different perspectives. They may ask clarifying questions, share relevant information, or express curiosity. Trolls often show a lack of interest in constructive dialogue and may focus on causing disruption or stirring up controversy for entertainment. 5. **Response to Feedback**: When provided with feedback or criticism, a civil user is more likely to respond thoughtfully, consider the input, and adjust their approach if necessary. Trolls may react defensively, ignore feedback, or continue provocative behavior despite warnings. By paying attention to these conversational cues, you can better discern whether a user is engaging in good faith discussion or exhibiting troll-like behavior on a text-based social media platform. It's important to maintain a healthy and respectful online environment by promoting constructive dialogue and addressing disruptive behavior appropriately.

@Alfred in a text based social media platform, what conversational cues would you look for to distinguish between a civil, thoughtful and good faith user from a troll or sealion?

Missouri GOP moves to toss 'honorary' member of Ku Klux Klan from governor's race

The candidate, Darrell Leon McClanahan III, said a picture of him apparently giving a Nazi salute was from "a religious Christian Identity Cross lighting ceremony," not a cross burning.

While I think that a government shutdown would do an excellent job of reminding people what their government does for them, I also recognize that it tends to have severely detrimentalโ€”even deadlyโ€”impacts on the most vulnerable people among us.

There's that, and there's the fact that no one Party gets blamed for the fallout. Congress shares the ire pretty evenly, so it's lose/lose.

So lemme get this straight. According to Turnip, I can announce a run for president, then immediately go rob a few banks and DOJ can't prosecute me because they have a rule that prohibits it if I'm in the middle of a presidential campaign?

Cool! ๐Ÿ‘
