@luvlabguidedogs Usually in the crockpot, but we've been focusing on trying to cut down on portion sizes so he made it on the stove in a smaller pot. I suppose we could make it year-round but we typically don't.

@summersun704 We can send you the recipe if you'd like. It's pretty easy to do and consists of mostly stuff from cans and some ground beef, but we've also done it with ground turkey.

@summersun704 @ThatMermaid_J My overall point is that safe/unsafe isn't quite the correct wording for the situation of direct messages on social.

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @ThatMermaid_J It's not that it's any less safe than big social, both Mastodon and big social don't encrypt their messages. What I would say is be aware of the kind of things you're sending via DM on any service except one that encrypts its messages like Signal or Telegram. Note: I like Signal better but that's just me.

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @ThatMermaid_J I'm not sure that's true. I think it depends more on the quality of your moderators, specifically whether or not they're proactive and/or whether or not they're diligent about responding to reports and when necessary dealing with people causing trouble for people on their server.

In reply to @Lynessence.

@Lynessence @ThatMermaid_J There's some work being done on this, for now a third-party tool, but I'm hoping Mastodon itself works on this. The archive is a mess though so I think that'll be part of the work.

@coasterfreak88 Morning John.

@bruce_toews Morning Bruce.

@jakobrosin Oh man I'm so glad your hand healed and that the burnout demon has been vanquished for now.

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @Kirk @oldladyplays Yeah but you should still have the default 500? Unless your admin has changed that downward?

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @Lino0876 @Kirk @oldladyplays Oh. Why not just say that? You do have 500 characters after all. <smile>

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @Kirk @oldladyplays What she's saying is that she doesn't understand what you mean by that. What are you trying to abbreviate? For the record I have no idea what you're talking about either.

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @Kirk @Lino0876 @oldladyplays It's not just about privacy. It's about the appearance of wrongdoing when you take upon yourself the role of office and/or you present yourself as somehow righteous when everyone else who's not on your side is wicked.

In reply to @Kirk.

@Kirk @Lino0876 @summersun704 @oldladyplays There's all kinds of places to find out. My point isn't about the other side, it's about *your* side. This time it happens to be Clarence Thomas. What he's done or not done doesn't become OK just because both parties do it. It's not OK no matter who does it. I thought Alma and I were pretty clear about that?

In reply to @Lino0876.

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @Kirk @oldladyplays OK but that's not an excuse for not calling it out, especially when it's your team doing it. Only calling out bad things when it's the other team doing them is about as morally bankrupt as it gets.

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @Lino0876 @oldladyplays I'm honestly surprised they haven't automated that entire process by now. This includes things like resetting login credentials. Good grief it's 2023 and everybody else has automated by now.

In reply to @summersun704.

@summersun704 @Kirk @Lino0876 @oldladyplays Whether or not I agree with someone's politics is irrelevant. Bribery is bribery, and it's not cool no matter who's taking the bribes.

@Lino0876 @summersun704 @oldladyplays You can get a lot through NFB Newsline if you've signed up for that, not sure about Epic Times.
