  • I felt like and always did, about how social media is one gigantic misleading bloat of a sham. We’ve already perfected communication, you cannot get any better than instant messaging and video calling. The only improvements needing to be made is just better bitrate and whatever small technical steps needed.

    But in general? Social Media is just overinflated. It overcomplicates communication. And all that social media is, is one gigantic data farm that we all contributed to, because social media was touted as a thing that was going to change the world, the next big thing. Well, it was right in the beginning but it took us too long to have seen the detrimental effects it has on the world now.

    Then again, it’s like, we’ve already had social media in it’s simplicity. So okay, you didn’t get together with your favorite niche group in instant messaging. However, there were things like MSN Groups back in the 2000s. There were Yahoo! Groups too. So it’s like, what exactly did Facebook, Instagram, Twitter .etc really bring? Nothing that you couldn’t do two decades ago!

    The only net benefit of social media at all anymore is to reach everyone globally and that’s about all of the only net positive I can think of social media’s purpose anymore. Other than that, it’s corporate’s playground.






  • Oh another armchair revolutionist…

    Do you really think it’s that’s simple? Tell me, how do you think we’re to accomplish a revolution without shedding blood? What is the aftermath and the road after such a revolution, should it succeed?

    You see, nobody in the world really thinks about these things enough as they like to believe that they do. They think that they can get off their couch, revolutionize, then just go back to their couch and watch TV like nothing happened? No, it doesn’t work like that. You need progressive ideals and a bigger map of the change you want to see in the country. And there isn’t anybody in the world that I know of, that can do that. Nor is anyone here going to try.

    So I don’t want to hear about “need a revolution” unless I know that fucker at least has a roadmap in how to accomplish it and what will happen after it.




  • This will not do anything. Kids are typically dumb online, adventurous, but dumb online who’ll do dumb things in unpredictable fashions. It’s like putting all of those plug covers to make sure children don’t pull them off, except they will and do, prompting them to curiously stick a fork into the socket.

    That senator is more concerned about what’s online for kids, than how Republicans are actively pushing kids to work jobs that are unsafe for them. Might want to re-evaluate your priorities, dude.

    Don’t even get me started how kids have long been able to lie about their age online to get to adulterated content.
