Please also add common sense, reasoning/logic, and intelligence. I honestly think there would be more peace, love, and understanding if stupidity was eliminated.

It appears COVID19 has made society dumber by decreasing brain size, function, and capacity:

My point exactly :iagree::iagree:

Unfortunately, you have stupidity and dumb@$$es that use it to promote the wrong sh!t and you have the current society times and woes.

I never understood why people would want to engage in the challenges of TT. Remember the Tide pods? Or the licking of ice cream and putting it back in the freezer of the store?

I’ll never understand why anyone would cut their junk off and expect society to play along with their mental fantasy. :mad:

I think you summed it up so well. Remember when FB was about reconnecting with lost friends from HS and just connecting and what not - then it became an ‘echo chamber’ where ‘my beliefs trump your beliefs - and it become an we vs THEM’. All I can say is it had good intentions but in the end - it kinda ruined itself. At least that is how I interpreted your social media response. Haha

That and the internet as a whole. It was around 1996 when my parents got AOL for the first time, but before then, if I wanted any type of information, I had to make a trip to the library and research it old-school.

One of the major issues is related to the convenience of mass-relaying of information and promoting the wrong sh!t at lightning speeds through the internet/social media. Society is all about human rights, particularly the 1st amend., but what they fail to understand is freedom of speech does NOT equate to freedom of consequences.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/31/tech/...ban-pew-survey

"Half of Americans support a US government ban on TikTok, while 22% oppose the idea and more than a quarter are unsure, according to a Pew Research Center survey released Friday."

"Opposition to banning TikTok is significantly higher among younger Americans (46% of respondents aged 18-29) than among older ones (15% of those aged 50-64 and just 4% of those 65 or older oppose it) and among those that use TikTok (56% opposed) versus those who do not (11% opposed)."

As I mentioned, I worry about where society is headed :shakes head:
