Also, they aren't intelligent, or informed or able to speak coherently. They are actually dumb. And their dumbness is making everyone else dumb by proxy. When you try to help them understand reality, you end up getting dragged down into the dumb. LIke a lifeguard trying to pull a flailing person who can't swim...to shore. You might just drown with them
This is a characteristic of internet politics and social media in general. I'm about to take a prolonged media-fast this New years to cleanse my soul of all this trifflin' bullshit. Feel free to do the same. Sad part is, I'll have to taper down from 12+ hours online to 2, to none as it really is addictive, for me. Being 'connected' to other people is addictive. Feeling appreciated or laughing at someone's jokes releases serotonin and (insert brain science quotes which doesn't really get to the bottom of anything but makes people feel smart).
If I'm offline for 8 hours, the glow of the screen and click of the buttons def gets me high for the first 5-10 minutes online. Stupid. But, true.
I feel 100% less able to focus than I was able to do 15 years ago when I didn't even have a TV and just read books, meditated and took acid all day long. XD
Gonna get back to that. Minus the acid, of course.
P.S. It also helps to remember that most people aren't online. That the internet never was an accurate description of the world. :D
listening to people on the internet or social media is very similar to listening to drunks. Actually the discourses of the two are very similar to one another. either way, It’s fun at first, but eventually it get tiresome.
Thats a good perspective. I might follow your lead and disconnect mostly. You are right about being addicted to laughing at other people's stuff and feeling connected. That is why reddit and things that imitate reddit are successful. I"m very thankful for this website. I just worry they will shut it down because we like it so much. Btw Merry Christmas!
My favorite are the “articles” that are just a bunch of tweets from people reacting to some news story. The author couldn’t even bother to put their own thought into words.
I don't consider actors opinions to have any value in the least. They are -after all- performers playing a role and looking for attention to enhance their careers. Their agents probably coach them. "Do something outrageous, something stupid, be seen with someone else famous, anything to get noticed" They are fake people. Never out of the role. Not to say there aren't many fine actors that live "normal" lives. These people just do their gig, invest wisely and live a settled life.
Freezing cold on Christmas Eve, in a building? Shit, I live in North Texas and we ate Christmas dinner outside (70 degrees). Where was this detention center at? Canada?
Hollywood can't die fast enough. It's a cancer -- let China have them, with the understanding Hollywood and it's leftist retards have to move there. Then the leftist bastards can enjoy life in a real Communist "paradise" . . . and NO! You aren't welcome to return, you treasonous sonsabitches!
Her tv series 'the sarah silverman program' was politically uncorrect to the point of being wildly offensive. I loved it. She played a retarded female psychopath who leached off her sister and harassed her sister's cop boyfriend with various dumb schemes (Seriously)
If the left actually watched her series, they would disown her forever and shun her eternally
Hey Sarah, they’re here illegally because their parents decided to commit a crime and they’re free to leave at any time on the Mexico side of the border.
That must be an old photo dating back to when all of these morons said America was running concentration camps on the border. The detention centers are not as crowded anymore thanks to Remain in Mexico.

Most people are probably online, it's just that they look at it as something they pass through, not a residence.
Anyone else sick to fucking death of "news" sites reporting on Twitter posts like anyone actually gives a fuck? This shit isn't news.

it was ever so, pede!
"No Gods! No Masters! (Just a mob-like group of cancel-culture, thought-policing conformity!)"
Oh, these people definitely have a religion. Just not a traditional one. And they worship it devoutly.

Silverman is an enormous hypocrite.

Lol, I hope you're kidding there.
but they told me there is no border crisis
Sarah is an actual commie phaggett. An unamerican treasonous filthy fruitbat.
Why then, does Breitbart continue to give these enemy combatants a voice?
Is Breitbart actually condoning their interference in our Nation for a few clicks or likes?
Why do conservative companies continue to associate themselves with Twitter and Facebook since we KNOW THEY ARE THE ENEMY?

What a set of tits-20 years ago. She's marinating in hate now and her boobs are droopy.
Radical left thinks they have the market corner on being correct and that the rest of us dummies should obviously just listen to whatever they say.
Traitor to her own religion...
