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

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.

Good Saturday April 1st Morning All. 84* for a high today with 0% chance of rain that we still need.

Just enjoying the day today.

Hope you all have a Great Saturday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Moving Forward.

Tough loss for the FAU Owls, San Diego State wins on a last second buzzer beater... wow.

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.

"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

Good Sunday Morning All. 86* for a high today with a 40% chance of rain.

Hope you all have a Great Sunday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Moving Forward.

Sunday morning, and the weekend is almost gone
Short night, watch what they called an F1 race, ending was like NASCAR - sad.
