So many apps and websites out there get this wrong (given their focus on such verbs) that I finally sitdowned, rollupped my sleeves, and speakupped in visual form. A sign for me to tap in the future!
Setup, backup, and login are nouns.

Begin Setup
Your login attempt
See Latest Backup

They can also be adjectives:

Setup Assistant
Login Window
Backup Procedure

They are NOT verbs:

I setup my account
First, login here
How can I backup?

Set up, back up, and log in are verbs.

Let’s set up your account
Click here to log in
Back Up Now


An easy way to test for this:
put it in the past tense. If setup was a single-word verb, you would (goofily) say:

I setupped my account.
Next, I loginned.
When I backupped,

These are just three such verbs that include a preposition; there are many more. You know the difference between nouns and verbs. You can do this.

I've said it before, & I'll say it again & again: When people have their first epistemic & ontological shocks— those shocks to what they thought they knew & thought was real— you have to guide them CAREFULLY to get them to move *Toward* prosocial consensus reality & *AWAY* from, e.g., conspiracism.
Screenshot of two tumblr posts:

Tumblr user tpwrtrmnky:
A lot of the time when I point out that some right-wing policy is proven to not achieve the thing it purports to have as a goal, people rightly point out that the real goal is the negative outcomes that do happen.
Which is correct!
But this is often framed as me approaching the right wing naively by the respondent.
That's not the case at all. I know they're evil. The goal is to demonstrate that they're lying by exposing the way the rhetoric fails to line up with reality.
This has to be ongoing work because someone new has their political awakening every day. Every day, someone needs to learn that the right wing position is wrong on all levels, not just the obvious ones.
Tumblr user realflaminglily:
there will be people out there who still think the war on drugs (as the absolute first thing that comes to mind) is a legitimate social cause against an antisocial blight on society. if you come out the gate with (the very true statement) that it's actually been a deliberate campaign to target minorities and other undesirable groups to the ruling class, you're going to sound like a clueless conspiracy nut
whereas if you come with a very defensible, statistically supported point of "it doesn't work and has never worked" you can open the door to the follow up question of "why did the government do it in the first place, and (in many cases) why are they still doing it?"

10th US President John Tyler arranged the cannon explosion on the USS Princeton to kill his co-conspirators, his Secretaries of State and Defense, in the poisoning murder of President William Henry Harrison, along with power broker David Gardiner so he could marry Gardiner’s daughter Julia.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo “History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

The Marine veteran behind this viral photo at the Chicago ICE protest
The flag-waving Marine was at the anti-ICE protest near Chicago because of his beliefs, and said his training helped him weather tear gas.

This is deranged - Biden had a ton of policy victories, with a minuscule legislative margin. But this sort of cynical, angry, doomer thinking spreads like wildfire online, while saying “Look at all the good stuff Biden did!” just makes you a target. So everyone quickly learns their marching orders

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

Harrison Ford should be the patron saint of inexpensive small-studio video games. Think about it: he's a carpenter who played Indiana Jones and Han Solo. He's an indy rogue-like deck builder.
