"Our findings suggest a link between malevolent (aversive) personality and conservative political ideology... and that persons with malevolent personality dispositions view political figures with malevolent traits favorably"

Friendly Reminder
A month or so ago I made an announcement that abandoned accounts will be deleted. This is mainly due to my setting a ceiling on the number of users that can register on this Instance. The ceiling is set to try to keep the Instance usable. I can only afford so many resources.
If you need to take a sabbatical or are going to be off line for a while please let me know so that I will not delete your account. If I am not warned that you are not going to be able to use your account then I delete accounts that reach 60 days with no activity. I of course will be flexible with this for typically active users.

TOS & Rules amendment
No Vulgar Display Names
Okay, I thought this would be self evident though apparently not. As I want this Instance to be accessible to all ages and demographics with a diverse outlook on ideologies there are certain expectations that need to be met by all users. Being polite is a given and I will delete an account over someone that cannot control their behavior on this Instance. I did not really think it was necessary to make a rule that states that you cannot use a vulgar or obscene display name. I was wrong. I deleted the account, they can try again with an appropriate display name if they choose to.
I officially updated the TOS & Rules to reflect that using a vulgar display name is not allowed. I will be the judge of what is vulgar and/or obscene.

What I just heard on #TheLateShow with #StephenColbert :
(Thank you digital rendering)
Tim Birdshit.
That was supposed to be Tim Burchett.
Pardon me, I'll have to step out for a bit because I'm doubled over in laughter.

Social Media is void of any purpose that you do not allot it. If you find it meaningless then it is. If you find it to be useful then it is. I would ask myself what value I have from sharing my views and ideas? Has it been productive? Was just expressing myself on a public forum in regards to all the ideas I have had pent up therapeutic?
Like you, I am a pretty much a loner. I do visit my children and grandchildren though do not get out nearly as often as society says I should. Though very few people follow me and I am sure I do not make any great impressions. I do find sharing my ideas and views to be therapeutic to me. Even if no one responds that is fine. I did not need anyone's approval as much as I just needed to say it. If that makes any sense to you.
Everybody knows a hydrant or a garden hose
Serves to ward off the season's' wilt
Skeeters hunt with their eyes all aglow
To find you to feast to the hilt

Don't @ me about mixing Spanish and Portuguese. I just couldn't resist posting:
Mas Que Asada
#SergioMendes #Brazil66
(C'mon, this is Mas Que Nada, not only from the top hits in the U.S. but also featured in the first Rio film).

Languages are meant to be mashed. English is a prime example - low German and even lower French.

Server Issues
Certificate Expiration
Due to an issue with an update to SELinux
and it's targeting profile certbot
,the tool I use to renew my site certificate, failed. As SELinux
was not allowing it to write the updates for the renewal process. I have corrected the issue though it has taken some time to get the certificate renewed.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that the delay in renewal may have caused. I hope everyone enjoys their day.
