Woohoo! Honey, I'm HOME! (now if only I had a RL backup one lol!)
In preparation for what I assume will be my imminent smiting by the BanHammer of Democracy® announced by Dear Leader yesterday I created an account here after being linked to it by a Sanderista in a comment. I just got it set up and I already feel like, "Yeah, This place is gonna work out just fine."
So far, I am liking the interface, maybe the white background is a bit bright for these 'ol eyes though (got one pupil that is fixed open due to multiple massive concussions, or the spinal damage, they are not sure which, so it might not be an issue for most. ) Is that a setting that is open to user customization?
Also, I just wanted to drop a test post and throw yet another Shameless plug for a Diary I wrote on DK about the conduct of the Clinton Mafia on Kos last night.
I was inspired to do so after one told me, "I hope Trump supporters go after you like they do black protestors" for simply saying I couldn't in clear conscience vote for Hillary. (that wasn't the first insult hurled, but by far the worst. There were so many I just grabbed from the first 1/4 of the replies and then gave up.)
If you have a moment, and still have yet to taste the Hammer, please pop in a Rec it for me if you feel it's worthy, I really would love the Hypocrisy of the Clintonites to make it to the Rec list for all of DK to see. (I don't want them under the impression we walked out on them, but that they walked all over us, and that is why so many of us are moving on to greener pastures. )
I'm looking forward to a place where we can discuss pushing the movement Senator Sanders is helping to lead forward thru November and beyond without the constant trolling, that's for sure!
Bernie or Bust 2016!

your DK Diary
First things first: Welcome to c99p, alphalop! I think you'll enjoy it here. No HRs, flags, banhammers, or "stems or seeds like you don't need"!
You know, you could cross-post that Diary here! It's actually encouraged, and would put it before the eyes of those who either have already tasted the banhammer or have self-deported themselves completely. Just a thought......

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Quick question, how do I cross post it here? Just copy/paste the whole thing?
Thanks!

welcome alphalop...
sorry to say that the only user-variable control is the brightness control on your monitor. the background color of the page is a scheme set by the site software, to change it jtc would have to change it for everybody and all pages on the site.
at some point we will be upgrading the site to a new version of the site software and might revisit the color scheme then.
RL is not a concept I familiar with...
I read your diary at DK when I stopped by to make copies of my diaries. It was so sad to see people be that rabid in their little "victory" dance. That last quote in your diary was so beyond the pale that it made sure that once I finish the transition that I will never go back. I do not care to associate or be associated with people who could say those kinds of things.
Thanks for that diary, but it is time to cut the cord. Glad you are here.

RL= Real Life.
As in I wish I had a home in another country in the event either Clinton or Trump win the primary.
Ecuador and Panama are on the short list. If I sell every asset I own I might be able to afford a shack someplace nice.

Europe for me
I have been thinking about this for a couple of months now and recently started checking on emigration requirements and such. I hear there are countries over there that have health care as a right and free public college. = )
I do not think the two candidates you mention will invade Europe soon like the US has done to many Latin American countries.
