@Ryle And I've posted there, hopefully a useful approach. I have seen "Hate speech had a very clear legal definition", but then you have the problem of how one jurisdiction may currently define the term legally vs. another jurisdiction, if they define it at *all*. We could use the UN version, which may be totally disagreeable to people in countries who never signed off on that.

But... hopefully there is a solution that simply does without the specific term "hate speech."

@freemo I now have the git repository local. The Git GUI doesn't show me branches and changes, so I did it wrong. OF COURSE. But that's ok, my opportunity to learn, and being able to see changes would be more useful, I'd think. I'll post my message where the issue is already being discussed if there is anything it would contribute at that point.

@freemo Yeah, I just need to get moving to recover from work. Gawd this thing keeps moving and I want to follow what's going on while I'm doing what I really ought to be doing instead.

@Ryle Thank you. I missed seeing this before I posted a suggestion about it, but I was intent I not lose the thought I had at that moment. My current situation has me hella distracted to where I'm setting alarms for myself so I don't miss going to the loo when I need to.

I'll jump in there once I've shed my work funk off.

@freemo At the moment I'm flailing, but I'm not yet in a position to edit and I want to get this thing out of my head: "... communicating disrespect targeting a person's identity rather than their character. This behavior would often be characterized as (but not limited to) racism, sexism... (extend definitive list, avoid "hate speech" as a phrase.. and again "including but not limited to" is a wonderful phrase to use.)

TRUST ME, when I interact with flat earthers, I get mighty cranky and I'm sure they could label it as "hate speech." But I'm clearly not attacking their identity, just their bloody-minded stupidity.

@freemo I have "Git GUI Here" installed, but I usually use "Git BASH" for updating Spigot. Yay, the time when I know what something does and how it works, but I get to figure out how to use it practically on some other project!

For my part, My current finances are in the position of "I have no idea what an extended family situation is going to cost me personally yet."

If I could, I'd run the current document through Grammarly's paid subscription and have it make suggested changes for exactly that... "passive vs. active" tone, various other changes based on a "business proposal" setting. I *think* it has one like that. Maybe. I simply can't do it, and I could only hope someone on this list is already paying for Grammarly (or a product like it) already so it isn't an extra expense to them.

*I* don't write proposals of any sort as a profession. But I'm confident someone has a meat-grinder for it while we work on making this sausage.

I wish I could afford a meat grinder using APA. I'd put in the beef and have nice, low-fat ground burger patties come out the other side, ready to cook and eat.

Unfortunately, I don't know if such a beast exists at *ANY* price. Maybe https://www.grammarly.com/plans can do some on the "free" side. I'll have to look at that tomorrow.

So much life comes so fast, and it's annoying this project becomes necessary in the first place. What's this compulsion for humans to act so human?

I love my family, I visit them...

... but I want to return to live in Indiana the way a fish longs to ride a bicycle.

Well ... at least the law enforcement involved won't have to sweat anything interesting coming out of a trial of a former Virginia state trooper.

@WalterShaub@journa.host Asking the people making money milking Insider Trading to ban themselves from Insider Trading. Tough sell. :(

All I can think about is going totally nerd-rage on him. I'm not sure I would have as a student at that age. I might have.

All hell wouldn't stop me at my age now, 50+.
