Someone has it in for me over there. I have been temporarily banned twice in the last several months. It’s insane. I think I am done with that site.

The entire internet has become a toxic mess.

Not a genocide. It’s war.

Not going to buy an EV. No charging stations nearby. Can’t install a charging station where I live. I probably have 10 years of driving left so I will stick with an ICE.

Agree with you. Big waste of time.

I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I will be retiring next year with both a pension and social security. I work in county government and that was one of the perks.

I will always vote Democrat.

Voting third party gives more power for the former president to win. I am not taking that chance. I think we have a better chance at working with the current administration to intervene positively after the election. If the orange menace gets in he will likely take the Israel/Palestine war to new levels.

Never used it. Never plan to do so.

I am voting for Biden. I sure as heck am not voting for the other guy.

Yes I agree. A coordinated approach at all state capitals and Washington, DC would probably have more impact. This is where the people who care about reelected live and work.

Road to Perdition has some of the best cinematography I have ever witnessed.

I consider myself well educated but never knew anything about this. Hope you find it enlightening!

I recently watched the following program on PBS: Nazi Town, USA which described the rise of fascism in America at the same time as the Nazis in Germany. It was an eye opening experience and one that has a hauntingly similar essence to our current situation in the USA.

I started a facebook account in 2006 and stopped using it a few years later. I still have an account but only look at it maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

I hate when I have to log in to find a business though. It 's infuriating.

And I hate reddit with the glare of a thousand suns.

Yes! My ex and I used to build all kinds of computers back then. Of course they used to blow up rather quickly. It was a slog trying to figure out where I left off once I got up and running again. Shopping - I bought all kinds of stuff on the internet back then lol. Enough said.

I met so many interesting people that way. And I loved the creativity of their blogs. It’s gone like the corner candy store (which I actually remember).

There are still some forums around but they are usually very niche. I frequent a few especially when I get banned from Reddit lol.

Crazy times indeed. My cousin brought home an Egyptian guy she met on the internet in the early 2000s. Turned out to be just fine but it seemed sketchy at the time.

Yes I miss the forums I used to visit. I was a moderator on a couple and it was a bit of a slog but still enjoyable. I started using the internet in 1996/97 and watched it evolve all these long years. It’s definitely morphed into a corporate wasteland.
