Murica ✊These are one of the times one is glad to be from a different part of the world! Seeing all the back and forths on twitter is exasperating enough.
To actually be there! In 'Murica the Great! I'm afraid my stomach can't take it right now. Besta luck bro haha
But ya it's like people use social media as their outlet and then if you walk the streets you wouldn't know the difference
(I hope it stays that way and doesn't get cray cray)
Definitely. It's so fascinating the way social media gives everyone the voice they don't seem to have in real life.
It's probably a good thing when you consider it from an angle, but it also makes for a lot of stupid things being said, and trolls and e-thugs who live in their mother's basement and so on lol.
There's probably a psychology book that deals with this already. I'd definitely like to read it
Hahah ya, it's like an outlet. Probably good in some ways and bad in some ways. Like.. it might be annoying if everyone was blabbing about it. On the other hand, people probably wouldn't be so hysterical if they had to represent their ideas IRL.
I bet it's like.. when you say things out loud and read and intuit the reaction from other people and how you feel, it's a helpful way to stay on track.
I bet a lot of the political things and the whole Trump/SJW dynamic is a reflection of that. There's always been motivation to try to get in the way and beat the other side. In the past it would be tinier things. NOW you can get people to rally behind more hysterical things.
(and it creates an ongoing loop where now something like "oh he ruled on this case in a questionable way" would seem like nothing, and you need increasingly salacious things.)
Enjoy the show bro! You can enjoy it from a distance without worrying about it boiling over lol
Definitely! Thats a great way of seeing it.
Yes, my point exactly. I don't know if I'm being overly sensitive but its the hysteria and the hysteria from the reactions to the hysteria and that loop you mentioned that's killling me haha. But yaa, it IS a helluva show sometimes.
I'll definitely do that haha. Cheers bro.
Hahaha :p thanks for your well wishes! Fortunately it doesn't seem to play out into the streets or factor in at all, so Twitter and Facebook is pretty much the extent of it lol. I don't really use Twitter.. on Facebook my strategy has been to unfriend people when they say something fucked up 😆 (at least, if I don't really talk to them or care much about them anyways :p)
I've lost two during the Kavanaugh thing! Would probably be more if I didn't already have some people on unfollow lulz
I thought as much. Social media's just beautiful like that. lol.
haha...rotfl...well like they say, we win some and lose some.
