*sigh*

Yep, here's where we're at.

@rl_dane

sounds about right.

That said, I also find a great deal of peace comes from unfollowing folks who don't stop talking about such topics 😛

@gumnos

Yeah, I started doing a "don't show boosts from this account" spree, but it was a constant annoyance.

The filters are just fire-and-forget. ;)

@rl_dane

/me raises glass to all the ways of making life more pleasant

🍻

@rl_dane @gumnos Now I'm feeling pretty sure you have muted my boosts :) More power to you, if it makes you happier, that's what the thing is there for :)
@rl_dane normally I would never correct phonetic spelling, but in the interest of preserving the strength of your filters, you might add “martial law” alongside the phonetic spelling.

@spaceraser @rl_dane

Is Marshall Law a person? That could also be an explanation

@spaceraser @rl_dane

I used to get a lot of mileage out of filtering "Democrats" and "Republicans". In the plural. (As my only filter.)

@amin @spaceraser

Oh, that's a great idea. I think somehow my other filters have that covered, but I'll keep it in mind in the future.

The filters really do so much to keep me sane on here.

I actually greatly enjoy learning about global policy when the emotion/desperation/hopelessness is removed from it, although it can still be a drag after a while, and I need a break from it.

@rl_dane @spaceraser

Yeah… I was at a point where I didn't want to hear anything coming from people lumping a whole political party together and claiming something about what they did/said. So those whole words, in the plural, helped a lot.

@amin @spaceraser

There's the Marshall Doctrine (IIRC), but it's not related to Martial Law.

@spaceraser

lol how did I mess that up?

@rl_dane I kind of miss @spaceraser since they blocked me, but I'm sure they have their reasons, and I respect that, still think they are upstanding and great, but I'm sure I did something to upset them some time.

@sotolf @spaceraser Awww,

RACOON AND SNARKY NORWEGIAN MAKE FRIENDS RIGHT NOW. >:)

@rl_dane @sotolf I don’t remember exactly why either. Probably means it’s time to let it go.
@spaceraser @rl_dane To be honest it might be that I got on your nerves by being argumentative with some people for a while, I've been a bit better lately, I won't promise that I will always be great, but at least I am working on being better :) Great to see you again, I missed you :)
