Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Those who attack you.
Those who mock you.
Those who cull you.
Those who control you.
Those who label you.
Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.
WWG1WGA!!!Q
In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.
Where We Go 1, We Go All
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 05/01/2025 Vol.507, Q Day 2742, Farcesensitive wrote: "According to the affidavit, during the execution of the warrant investigators "Searched the basement of the residence and—consistent with COSTIANES's statement — found four firearms: a Glock Model 17 9mm pistol, a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 semi-automatic rifle, a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle, and a Remington Model 870 shotgun. Although the Glock and the Smith & Wesson were registered to COSTIANES, the other two firearms were not." The FBI affidavit said agents also found a hypodermic needle in the couch cushions of Costianes' home and four vials that each contained a clear substance and were labeled Testosterone Enanthate, which the court filings identified as a controlled substance under federal law. Costianes is scheduled for a March 2023 hearing on the gun and drug charges in Maryland U.S. District Court." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No excuse for him to still be locked up, he's been locked up without due process long enough that even if convicted he should get credit for time served and just be released. The gun charges are a 2ndA violation as well. No excuse for him to still be locked up...
Apparently, there is.

According to his plea agreement, on February 12, 2021, the FBI executed search warrants at Costianes’s residence, his vehicle, and on his cellphone. Costianes was taken into custody pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Costianes was advised of his Miranda rights and voluntarily agreed to be interviewed. Costianes told agents that he kept four firearms in cases in the basement. Law enforcement searched the basement and recovered the four firearms described by Costianes: a 9mm pistol; a M&P 15 semi-automatic rifle; a .223 caliber semi-automatic rifle; and a 12-gauge shotgun, as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition, including 9mm, .22 caliber, .223 caliber, and shotgun cartridges. A box containing 100 rounds of 9mm ammunition was also found in the trunk of Costianes’ vehicle. Two of the firearms were semiautomatic and capable of accepting a large-capacity magazine.
As detailed in his plea agreement, during the search, law enforcement also recovered marijuana and four vials containing either testosterone enanthate or testosterone cypionate, both controlled substances. The electronic evidence from Costianes’ phone, including photographs and text message conversations, revealed that Costianes illegally used cocaine, testosterone, and marijuana and that his use of each substance was consistent, prolonged, and recent. Constianes admitted that not only did he purchase cocaine and testosterone for his personal use, but that he also conspired to distribute, and did distribute, cocaine and testosterone to others.
Costianes and the government have agreed that, if the Court accepts the plea agreement, the government will recommend that Costianes not be sentenced to more than 37 months in prison. Chief U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar has scheduled sentencing for September 25, 2023, at 10 a.m.

Elias Costianes, formerly of Nottingham, was sentenced to serve 24 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, after he entered a guilty plea in September 2023 for possession of firearms and ammunition by an unlawful user of any controlled substance, according to the Justice Department
ransomnote: I'm not sure but it looks like he's to be released September 2025? Kind of hard to determine his time served starting from a vague or unknown 'surrender date'. But it really seems like he wasn't serving time while his gun/drug cases were disputed.
While his main Jan. 6 case was dismissed, Costianes must report to federal prison on Feb. 12 on a conviction based on the Jan. 6 raid of his Maryland residence. The FBI said it found four vials of liquid testosterone, which is a controlled substance. Agents also found a "substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine," according to the indictment, as well as four firearms, two of which the FBI said were not registered to Costianes.
On April 21, 2022, a grand jury indicted Costianes on nine criminal counts, adding a second count of conspiracy to distribute and possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute, three counts of use of any communication facility to facilitate a drug felony, and three counts of distribution of a controlled substance.
The controlled substances at issue in the indictment were liquid testosterone and cocaine, court records showed.
In June 2023, Costianes agreed to plead guilty to the firearms count in exchange for dismissal of the other charges. Senior U.S. District Judge James Bredar sentenced Costianes to one year and one day in prison.
In a ruling on Jan. 28, 2025, Judge Bredar denied Costianes’ motion to postpone his prison surrender date while he pursues an appeal.
“According to his plea agreement, on February 12, 2021, the FBI executed search warrants at Costianes’s residence, his vehicle, and on his cellphone.”
While that “plea agreement” (which have 0 standing in contract law and can be abrogated by the granting authorities at will) is dubious based on the whole J6 issue, the guy was an idiot to take that knowing what he had at home and had corresponded about on his phone.
All of those kind of laws need to be struck down
I'm not sure if they'll ever be able to teach AI to autonomously accent or emphasize words properly. I think it can be manually/human manipulated after the script is read which takes some effort. Natural language is tough to teach. I know which words to emphasize because I know which words to emphasize. The AI has to be told.
Thanks for the ping Melian. Snowy, how are you prompting it? Are you including the text from the job description? Right now, ChatGPT is writing all of my cover letters (with me editing out obvious AI statements like, “I am excited to apply for the blah blah position at Big Corporate D-bags!”) but I found it was really watering down my resume.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) readability is the biggie. It has to get past that first. Basically the resume has to be understandable in plain text format even though you will likely submit a PDF. Keywords are second, but just as important. GPT hooked you up with the keyword jackpot and action words.
Is that akin to Greek fire? I’m down with that, too.
I had this idea of opening a marketplace for boilerplate prompts and commissioned prompt brokering. The Apple Store or Google Play Store for prompts was the model. Turns out the idear weren't so original. Several companies are doing it, and doing it well. There is a growing market for high quality prompt writers.
Ouch!
That may have me re-thinking my screen name....
> Snowy, how are you prompting it? Are you including the text from the job description?
I don’t do that, I just want AI to change my resume’ to an ATS friendly format. I’m not a fan of tailored resumes. I just want to spell out what I know and what I’ve done in an easy to read format.
An ATS resume is a type of resume specifically designed to be compatible with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which are used by employers to screen job applications. These resumes typically use simple formatting and include relevant keywords to ensure they can be easily read and processed by the software.

YES! Exactly.

Just one other point. It took me 7 months to get another job because age discrimination is REAL. I’m 60 years old and have been in software engineering either as a developer or a tester since 1986. I’ve forgotten more programming languages than most engineers in their 20s and 30s have ever known. Despite my experience most companies avoid us like the plague for various reasons. It’s rare to find an employer or a contract that think correctly.

I appreciate the recommendation. Be well, Dear Lady. We miss you and your astute comments when you’re not here.
I was considering getting out the shoe polish for my hair before I landed my current contract. Ageism is a thing.
ThankQ LJ!
There’s so much disinfo way BTT (e.g. fakebook), it isn’t funny.
Re Sadness:
His child and grandchild can remember him with honor.
Congrats on your successful recovery!
I hear ya. Seems it was tied to his controlled substance use. No mention of registered\non-registered guns guns at the FED level.
Maryland has pistol registration.
